Alpha 6.1 - Refocusing
Greetings everyone!It's been... a long couple weeks. I've been away for what feels like forever, and when I'm working it feels like I'm running in place! There's so much foundation work to do that I can spend an entire day working on The Company without writing a single paragraph of content. At least, it can feel that way. Luckily, the reality is a little different!Expanding the TeamReally, it should be more like "establis...

Art Preview - Ava 2.0... 1.0
Hello everyone!This is definitely a little... premature to be sharing, but I was excited to get it out there, at least to share that it's being worked on.This should surprise no one In light of the recent feedback poll, but my artist and I have begun re-evaluating the existing artwork for The Company. Specifically, we're looking at character models, where we can improve, and how we intend to use artwork in the game moving forward.I'll...

Artwork Feedback Poll - Please Participate!
Greetings everyone!Artwork for The Company has been in development for just over a year now, and in that time I've been getting feedback from all directions. Feedback is great! I love feedback! Unfortunately, feedback can be a little hard to parse sometimes, and incorrectly evaluating feedback can be just as harmful as ignoring it completely.At this point, I've decided to finally collect some useful and concise feedback on the current sta...
Alpha 6.1 - Odds and Backends
Greetings everyone!Who knows what ITIL and Lean Management mean? Great! You have my undying sympathies! Unfortunately, my other job has seen fit to send me away to an ITSM conference for the last few days which has severely limited my time and ability to write. Therefore, there's not a whole lot to update everyone on this... But let's try anyway!Getting OrganizedWith the help of some outside support, I've begun an initiative on the ba...
Art Preview - Ava WIPs
Hello everyone!I had a couple of early art previews, plus an adjustment, to show off today. Actually, why don't we start with the adjustment. Check out Cat Collar 2.0 on Ava!More in line with the player's choker option, and has much more of a collar-y look to it.The next couple pieces are sketches showing Ava in the living room, sitting on the couch, as well as her lying in bed when you visit her in the bedroom. Each of these scenes will ...
Art Preview - Strange Wares
Good morning!For the Marketing Associates today, I have some steamier previews to share. In addition to the Cat Collar, Ash also sells the Strange Strapon which has the amazing effect of turning Ava into a fully fledged futanari!She has both a hard and soft variant, though one will obviously see A LOT more use than the other.Fun, right? Of course, all things being dynamic Ava can most certainly be under the effects of both the Strange Strapon and...
Art Preview - Cat Collar
Happy Singles' Awareness Day everyone!I wanted to share something fun for patrons this week, as stated in yesterday's development update, and that is course some more Ava!At present, you can purchase the exotic Cat Collar from Ash at the adult toy store in the mall. If you give it to Ava, she'll start to become more submissive, bending to your will even if it's against her own. In fact, over time her new submissive tendencies may ...
Alpha 6.1 - Chugging Along
Greetings everyone!It's been a productive last several days, as I've made a good deal of progress establishing the baseline of the new comment system. Moving over to a database format has worked wonders, and now it's just a matter of filling out the content.To that end, I hope everyone's had a chance to check out the job listing I posted last week as I expect the additional help to really speed this endeavor along. I'm going t...

Help Wanted - NPC Commentary Dialogue Writer
Greetings every, I have something a little different today!I'm knee deep into writing the randomized NPC dialogue system that I've been describing over the last few weeks, and in the interest of actually finishing the system before Summer starts, I've decided to reach out for assistance.What I'm looking for, specifically, is someone to work in parallel with me to help write the hundreds of different comment variations that the NPC...

Art Preview - Generic Actions 2
Greetings everyone!So, to recap, these next few artwork previews will be featuring the generic actions images, that is, the images that can be interchanged from character to character. These images are meant to convey ideas rather than portray the actual characters, and help immensely in keeping production moving.You can check out the first preview, along with a more detailed description of the assets' usage... HERE!Now, so as not to overload...

Alpha 6.1 - Trading Length for Girth
Greetings everyone! Ha... Penis jokes...So today's post is going to delve into some techy topics and lessons learned, and not so much actual game content. Still, hopefully everyone will find something worth reading here.Let's dive in!The ProblemSo anyone who's seen the code in one of the recent pre-alphas knows what the engine for the new NPC comment system looks like. Effectively, I've written an extremely long chain of condition...
Artwork Update - This Week!
Hey everyone.I know the artwork preview has been a longtime coming and I'm happy to say it's finally ready to share! I'll be putting together posts starting later this week to show off the entire set of generic action images. Meanwhile, we've already moved into character art development and I'll be sharing that as it trickles in.Thank you all for your patience!
Pre-Alpha - Build Update
Hey everyone!I just wanted to drop in to let everyone know there's going to be a bit of a lapse in pre-alpha releases for the next few days, nothing too crazy.The short of it is that I'm converting the backend of the new comment engine from a massive, sprawling condition tree to a massive, sprawling, but also neat and organized, database. This means a few gulling days of data re-entry for me which will leave the game in a pretty busted st...

Alpha 6.1 - In A Mood
Greetings everyone!Since last week's mechanic announcement I've been steadily trudging along, inputting a ton of comment variations into the system. There's nothing really new to report, as I expect this to just be my life for the next few weeks, but I thought it would be interesting to share some of the underlying features of the new system.Specifically, how different character moods come into play.Now, when I say mood what I really ...

Alpha 6.1 - Immersion Through Assimilation
Greetings Everyone!So... Hm, where to start...As you may recall from last week, Alpha 6.1 was meant to be a relatively simple update focused on expanding Penny's content. It was gonna be great! I was gonna release a pretty solid update in a reasonably timely matter, people would have been happy, I would have felt good about myself.Then it happened.There was an idea, a simple offhand suggestion made in the deepest, darkest corners of Discord. ...

PSA - Comments on Public Posts
Hello everyone!On occasion, some of you may notice your comments or posts being randomly deleted. Sometimes, these posts are long, thought-out discussion points that I feel bad for scrubbing, but must scrub none the less.It's not that I can't stand being criticized or disagreed with, or that I don't like the post. I want to hear all feedback, good and bad!The concern, rather, is that the comment or post in question is likely to draw u...
