Character Introduction - Harper

View attachment 567432

She'll be making her first appearance in episode 2 & will have a rather important role to play with someone.
If we already have been talking here about slight corrections in those renders/models, perhaps you could consider to change a bit hands of that girl...I mean its size seems to be disproportional...erhm, i hope she doesnt hear me, else, If that girls punches me Ill be truly crunched in pieces;)

Patreon Preview!

I've been advised by a number of people that it would be a good idea, as I'm building the game, to get a following over on patreon. Which is why every so often I post an image series of the 3 main girls ( Mom, Aunt & Sister ).

The images I share there are exclusive to patreon and only my followers get to see them ( unless of course someone leakes them 0.0 ).

The current series I'm working on is the Horror Series. Followers get 1 random image of each character & the Alpha Backers ( limited to 10 ) get nude versions of the series.

Here's a little preview of the Horror Series:

Want to see the full image? pop on over to patreon and click that little follow button ( or just visit anytime, you don't technically have to follow to see them :p ).

Past, present and future series will be posted over there.

Development Update - 01-03-2020

First off, let me start by saying welcome to March, I don't want to jynx it, but it looks like I will be getting cloud rendering this month, which would be awesome :)

Also, today I finished the script for episode 2 and tomorrow I plan on setting up the renders for it, which means there shouldn't be much of a wait between episode 1 and 2, although, I probably will still release them a month apart, just to keep the interested alive.

I'm also going to start the script for episode 3 this week, best to get it started now while the end of episode 2 is fresh in my head.

There won't be NTR but the game also won't have a love/corruption route, doing so would require me to write 2 stories ( one for each path ) and I don't think that would be worth the time.

Development Update - 04-03-2020

With the script for episode 2 finished, I started work on the start of episode 3, just while I had the end of episode 2 fresh in my mine and I really like how both episode 2 ended and how episode 3 started. I can also confirm that episode 2 will indeed have it's first death!

I also plan on removing the horror tag from the game, not sure if I've said this before, I just think the game will be more of a mystery/thriller/drama than a horror, it won't have any jump scares which is what I think of when people say horror.

Also, started work on episode 2's renders, still no word yet on when I can start rendering episode 1.

Also, I actually have a preview for you this time :p this is from episode 2, still needs a little work, left hand needs positioning a little better and the lighting needs a little tweaking.

I love the one on the left, personally. The one on the right looks a bit too much like the aunt in facial composition. As for the bodies, both are excellent, though I prefer the one on the left due to a little bit more realism.

EDIT: By the way, I'm not sure about becoming a Patron, but I will likely support your project in the future. Probably a one-time payment - a medium to large lump sum - and then cancel. Hoping my current job contract gets renewed. Anyway, keep up the awesome work!

I don't know why, but seeing her in an image with her eyes open, she looks fine, but once there closed I feel then look a little alienish, probably just me xD

What line of work are you in if you don't mind me asking? I used to do some contract merchandising myself, loved it but eventually got squeezed out.

Haha No worries. And that's cool! I work for a nonprofit organization. Office job for the most part, plus I teach lots of marginalized groups about computer devices and how to use the internet. I really like the job, pay and benefits are solid, and hours are stable, too. But I'm currently an intern, so I'm hoping they give me a one-year contract; otherwise, this is my last month. The decision for funding is made by the federal government. Fingers crossed!

Jou CellStudios how are you? and how is the development going?
Not to bad, yourself?

Sadly developmen has somewhat halted, I took a job working on another game and it leaves me very little time for The Cabin. Production hasn't totally stopped though, still working on it bit by bit in my spare time.

No too bad as well, but government recommend everyone to stay at home because of covid-19 so it's getting bit boring. So it would be nice to get to play this sometime soon ;)

I'd love nothing more than to put it out but I still don't have access to cloud rendering so I wouldn't be able to render it any time soon. Also, working for this other game has really given me some insight as to how I could improve the game and since starting on it I think I've really improved my lighting and character design, I plan on making a scene soon about the new looks :)

Development Update - 28-03-2020

Probably been over a month since my last development update, as you guys know, I took a job for another game so the development of The Cabin has pretty much halted at this point. I still try to work on it in my spare time but between working for the other game and my real world job I'm not really left much time for it.

The little time I do get though I've decided to somewhat throw into the development of a mini comic series, working on the first release but I'm only able to do 2-3 pages a week. It's becoming a great new way for me to learn new techniques without wrecking the game.

Above is a preview of the comic that I'm calling "The Sofa"...I know what you're thinking...great title :p

But taking what I've learnt so far and looking at previous posts, I decided that NOW is the time to settle on characters, I've been a little rocky with Hazel ( Mom ) and I decided to hell with it, I'm going to redesign her, best to do it now that regret it 3 episodes in. So this is what I've been working on:

new_mom.png

She's still a work in progress but I'm much happier with her than I am the original. Still need to work on the hair a little I think but other than that I think she's good to go. I've also shrunk her boobs a little, now Hazel ( Mom ) & Lucy ( Sister ) will have smaller breasts and Anna ( Aunt ) will be the only one with larger breasts. There may be some background characters further down the line with larger breasts but I'm going to try to keep them more realistic.

Hope you're all doing okay during the lockdowns, I personally won't leave the house without a face mask and gloves, best to be safe than sorry. Stay safe!

I personally liked the old Hazel, but it's your choice. I just thought she was so sexy and unique to look at! Now she looks too much like the aunt.
