Work on Penny's update has begun
Good evening,
again almost weekend, so time to review the past week.
My biggest accomplishment this week was the completion the bonus scene for Hiba & Ayita. Since not everyone could read the changelog a quick sums up: I reworked most of the graphics for Ayita (including dance and her first sex scene + also made new dance animations for her dancing naked with and without the MC) and also rewrote her quest along with a lot of her dialog. The option to claim her is currently only available in the chieftain path, which is because I didn't want to extend it even further (took already way to long) and write different dialogs for alternative paths (Dasan route or sharing). However, that doesn't mean I won't do that in the future. Tia also got a new animation and Hiba got an alternative claiming route that doesn't involve corruption.
Now that the scene was finished I immediately started working on new character graphics for the Coldstone family members as well as a map of their estate that will be located southeast of Arenfield. While the work on the map isn't finished yet, the work on the models for Abraham and Elisabeth is. Of course you're welcome to give me input on their character models (I didn't start working on the sprites, dialog images yet so there is still time for changes). As you can see they are both already a bit older. And since we already have a lot of busty female characters in the game, I plan for Elisabeth to be a bit more petite.
I originally wanted to have a first playable version of the farm content ready by the end of the month, along with a new scene for Penny. But now that the work on the bonus scene was so much more complex and took up so much more time, that won't be possible.
Within a week I can't reach the point that would be necessary to create a playable version with the new content I just mentioned. Just creating the graphics for everything will probably take that much time. But of course I will do everything I can to catch up to my planned schedule.
Now that the character models are done, I will make sprite graphics for them as well as for farm animals (starting with chickens) and then work on a corresponding animal husbandry system for them. Then next will be the work on a new scene for Penny + a first meeting up with the Coldstone family where you get to know them. These are my goals for 0.5.8.5. I will inform you about my progress next week. By then I may also be able to estimate how long it will take me to reach the next milestone.
For now I wish you all a nice weekend!
