There already is an all the way through animation in the game if I'm not mistaken. It's with that enemy in the dark areas.
Yes, that lurker thing. The anim referred to, only occurs with the breast expansion, if anyone was wondering.

Hey everybody. Gonna be another small one this week, and not as exciting as I hoped it would be last week; BUT there is good news, with hopefully more coming on the horizon!
So first off, for work I continued to work on stuff outside of the game, mostly writing; I've been struggling most with opening the engine and actually programming/implementing things, but writing has been a little easier to get myself to do, so I'm letting my focus stay there for the time. The Azulisk CG script is nearly done, and I have a few cutscenes/gameplay dialogues written out for v0.45 as well. I'm going to try and have all the conversations I want for v0.45 finished by next weekend, so I can send them to our VAs and give them plenty of time to record.
Aside from me, Orex finished up the final Edovex BE H-scene and that's all ready for implementation now. He'll be starting work on more H-scenes now, since we still have plenty to update or improve. Red is waiting on me to finalize the Azulisk script so he can finish the related CG, so I'll be trying to finish that up first thing this next week.
For a more personal update: last week I mentioned I had a doctor's visit scheduled for this week, but I wasn't entirely sure what to expect out of it. Unfortunately, it did end up being a pretty basic visit; the doctor I saw wasn't one of their behavioral health specialists, so the visit ended up being more of a general thing and getting care started, since I also had some physical health concerns to bring up in addition to my mental health issues. I'll be getting an appointment scheduled with one of their mental health specialists soon, and they estimated 1-2 weeks for that, but I'll find out an exact day soon.
Despite the appointment being less of a decisive thing than I had hoped, I'm not surprised by it, and it was a positive experience overall; I've met with some doctors in the past who seemed in a hurry to get me out of the door and didn't really give a shit, and I didn't get that vibe this time. Everyone was very kind, and it seemed like they actually care about their patients, so I think we made a good choice. Despite the lack of forward movement from this one visit (which again was unsurprising, depression and anxiety can't be cured at the drop of a hat), I do honestly feel a little better already - knowing that something is finally happening helps, even if I have to wait a little bit longer. I've already dealt with crippling mental issues for at least half my life, so "a little bit longer" sounds pretty okay compared to the "indefinitely" I was looking at before now.
I'm excited for this next week, I'm still rocky at times but I feel overall more positive right now than I have in the past month at least, and I'm hoping to finally be able to get some good work done. In the meantime though, I know this is yet another low-content update, and I can't stress enough how grateful I am to you all for putting up with it; I hate delivering lackluster updates, but you've all been so overwhelmingly kind and understanding, and it really has helped me not beat myself up too much over this. As much as I wish I could flip a switch and be okay again, mental health doesn't work that way, and you've all given me the space to deal with what has been the worst depressive flareup I've had since my father passed a few years ago, and I truly cannot thank you enough for that. You're the best group of supporters a creator like me could ask for, and if I have any one dominant feeling right now, it's that I can't wait to get better so I can make you guys better stuff than ever before.

I speak from experience when I say this, but just having someone who listens to what you want to say when you have any kind of mental or emotional troubles does more good than I can ever hope to put into words. I had some serious anger management issues as a teenager, and the doctor who listened to me pretty much stopped me from doing something I would've regretted my entire life.
I hope whoever listens to you is as caring and helpful as Doctor -redacted- was to me, because I'll remember him and thank him for his compassion forever.

If you appreciate what that person did for you, then it might be best not to share their name openly for a start. Internet is a strange beast - you never know how some people will use the name they find on the internet (esp. on a forum such as this....)

Good call. Even if he's one of many with that name, you never know.
Might want to redact that name from the quote there as well.

Your quote still reveals the full name, even though the OP has redacted it in his comment.
i got into a spot that i cant exit from without some kind of vertical movement upgrade which I am lacking atm.
missing two upgrades. the two below the kilogrip on the menu also the one off on it's own above the others.
a ledge to return without dying would be appreciated.
EDIT:: i think it's a misplaced platform for when you enter the area, I used cheat engine to teleport up (got to this point without it, got frustrated and grabbed a cheat table) and found a series of jumps and hookshots leading to a walljump upgrade and the end of the demo
Great game btw. wondering if you're planning to expand the abandoned lab with machine-themed enemies/traps.

You weren't stuck there. To my knowledge, there are no spots in CPE where you can get legitimately stuck at the moment; you were supposed to use the Hoverjets extended dash ability to dash up the steep ramp on the room to your right, then once you reach the top of the ramp and start sliding back down, jump and dash left, then use the Wire Shot to get to the platform above you.
The foot is tasty
I suppose I was expecting the quote to change together with the original post it was quoting.
Hi I am stuck in this area, how do I proceed? (I searched a little here but couldnt find the solution, I have to Wire shot?)
Because I cant go back because of the two laser barriers in the room of the purple kamasutra drawings on the wall?
Thanks

That thing on the wall switches them off, hit it and then just backtrack and they should be down... just watch your step when you get back.
Thanks for the relpy. Hit it with what? I just saw that I wrote that I have the wire shot, but I acutally don't have it, where can I get it?
Thanks

Just keep playing through the Summit, it's an unavoidable item so you'll find it eventually.
It was a bug. But because I like the game I now pledge and downloaded the 0.44 release and it worked. I am now in the unterwater world but cant find the first keycard (She said she found the second one and I have been to the unterwater terminal)
I searched here in the forum and there should be one in the main room in the unterwater world and one to the left is that right?
Has anybody a more specific answer (with x an y maybe)
I am loving the game, really good work
Thanks
update: Found it, but it was no easy way to get there ;-)

Hey everyone. This week was a mixture of both great, and ehh. The bad news, which I'll get out of the way first, is that the work side of things was the 'ehh' part; I didn't get as much writing as I wanted done, BUT I did have the most productive day I've had in over a month, so it wasn't a complete loss! I managed to take a script from about 50% to finished in a single day, which may not sound like much, but it feels like a lot right now, so I'm trying to stay positive.
Orex is also still banging out animations for me to implement once I'm fully back in action. This week he finished up a few things; a clothed version of Alicia's masturbation animation, a "death" transition into said scene for when Alicia runs out of HP in gameplay, and an update to the regular (non-BE) Edovex H-scene.
For this H-scene update, in addition to the obvious anatomy and shading improvements, Orexius went out of his way to update the animation from 4 to 6 frames total, so it's a huge improvement over the old scene if you ask me.
So, now for the GOOD news! I posted last week that it sounded like it would be 1-2 weeks before I could see a behavioral doctor to talk about my mental health, and that seemed to be the case more and more, because they didn't end up calling me back. They said that might happen and if they didn't I should call them back, so I was planning on doing that (and was putting it off because phone anxiety, bleh), but I got a call from them for a separate topic entirely regarding my physical health, and while I was already wrapped up in a phone call I asked them about scheduling an appointment with a behavioral doc.
Apparently, she was the correct person to ask about it, because she managed to get me scheduled for a telehealth call with someone just two days later. That call has already come and gone, and I have officially been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and ADD - all of which I already pretty much knew I had, but, it's still a weird feeling to be officially diagnosed. Still, getting some confirmation is nice, and it's a good reminder that I'm not just lazy or insane, since my brain likes to try and convince me I am all the time.
So now that I've been officially diagnosed, a few things are happening. First, the doctor I spoke to is going to look into therapists and get me a list. I'll be meeting with her again in about a month, so I'll likely be starting weekly therapy in late July/early August. I also have an appointment scheduled for July 1st with someone who handles medications/prescriptions, and that's when I'll be getting medication to help counter all of this in the short-term, while the therapy helps to address the root of the problem. All this is to say, things are really looking up right now! I still have a bit of waiting to do (and by extension, I still have to ask for all of your patience for just a little while longer), but the ball has started rolling now, at long last.
I still haven't quite internalized that all of this is happening. I've been dealing with mental health issues for so long, it's just become a "normal" part of my life, something that never really went away even on the best of days. Heck, even now in the process of getting help, the ~24 hours leading up to all of these appointments always fills me with crippling anxiety and I can barely bring myself to do anything. It's such a big part of my existence that I can't imagine a life where I don't have all of these issues.. and yet, because of all of you, I can actually afford to take the steps necessary to make it happen. It's going to be a long road to fixing myself completely, but getting started is always the hardest part, so things can only get better from here. I don't know if I'll ever be able to truly thank you guys enough for this, and all the other things you've done for us, but as soon as I'm able, I'm gonna do my damn best to try!

That new Edovex animation looks great. Definitely an improvement on the old one. Though one thing is bugging me and I want to put it out there because I don't know whether my thinking is right. My issue is that the body movement seems to be the inverse of what it should be to me. The way I see it, her body should be recoiling up with each thrust, right when the thrust is at its deepest. And the way the animation goes right now is that her body is at its lowest when the thrust is at its deepest.
Again, the animation is great and I like it still. And maybe the intended motion is just not clicking for me and it's her voluntarily moving her body up and down instead or something.
Telehealth seems to be an American thing, and I'm not American, so perhaps mental healthcare is totally different over there or something.
But yeah, good thing you got diagnosed. Congratulations, I guess.
Gosh. I'm really getting invested in the mental health and treatment of a total stranger on the internet that's making fap material. Kinda crazy to think about. But please do continue updating us and definitely your Patreon supporters. If I were in a better place financially, I'd definitely pledge myself.

This honestly baffles me. If I understand this correctly, you got a video call with a doctor and in that call you got diagnosed already? That's crazy. Wasn't that your first appointment with the doctor as well, or am I misremembering? I've gone through a few diagnoses in the past myself, and all of them have been quite long processes. Not something you can do in a video call that's, I assume, about an hour or two long, tops.

Just a word of warning. Medication can certainly help, but you need to give it time. And most likely you'll feel worse before the effects of the meds will kick in. And that will likely take about two months. Your doctor(s) should tell you the same thing, but I thought I'd warn in advance.

Judging by Alicia's personality, it's like you said at the end - she's helping the Edovex along and enjoying herself. Everything's consensual in this game remember!
