Hey everybody, welcome to another CPE development update! In this update, I'm going to be focusing on Puffernutter and Orexius's work; I've been having a rough few weeks thanks to having a LOT of doctor appointments, to figure out some of the health issues that have been plaguing me long-term, so to be honest I just didn't get a lot of work done. Appointments generally give me anxiety (especially when it's something new), and thanks to the sheer amount of them I had, I was almost always feeling some level of anxiety this past week and a half, and that gets pretty exhausting. Still, even though I personally didn't get much done, there's still a few fun things to show off and talk about, so let's get into it!



To start off, something that I've planned to add to CPE for a long time, but we just never had the time to do. Introducing, BIG ALICIA

Standing at about 3x the size of Alicia's regular ingame sprite, this massive Alicia sprite is going to be used in the pause menus, as you can see below.

View attachment 2122735

The nude version might not even be available ingame, since Alicia always has some level of clothing on during gameplay, so think of that one as an exclusive easter egg for following the development of the game!

Big Alicia probably won't have any animation, because we're planning on changing her based on what's going in ingame; clothing state, BE status, libido/HP levels, etc. There's not too much else to say about it, but we figured it would be fun to have a much larger sprite of Alicia, so here she is!



Next up, those animations Orexius has been working on. His focus right now is split between the BE vines animation, and preparing the new gameplay animations Alicia will need as part of the 360 degree aiming update. They're all still VERY WIP, but we figured it might be fun to show yall what our animations look like in the early stages, so let's start with those gameplay animations!

Because Crisis Point wasn't designed with movement and aiming being separate, we never needed backwards movement before, but that's not the case anymore. In order to avoid the dominant strategy becoming "run away from the enemy while shooting at them", Alicia's backwards movement will be slower than regular movement; but if you stop shooting for a brief moment, then Alicia will go into her regular running animation at full speed. I'll probably tweak this a little bit based on player feedback, so once the update comes out feel free to let me know how you feel about it, but I'm personally pretty happy with the way it feels now - it prevents strafing from being too powerful, but cancels quickly enough to not feel annoying if you're just trying to run away.

And lastly, the BE vines H-scene update:

Obviously none of these animations are anywhere near finished, but hopefully it's fun to get a look at what they look like early on in the process!



That's it for the development updates this week, but I haven't been talking about personal life much lately, so here's a fun life update for everyone:

View attachment 2122741

Our family has grown by +1, 'cause we adopted another cat! We named her Bug, on account of her insane cuddlebug levels. We adopted her a few weeks ago, and she was extremely shy and nervous at first, but she's opened up to us pretty quickly and she's already a joy to have around the house.

View attachment 2122742

Our other cat Papyrus is still struggling to adjust to no longer being a "single child", so to speak, but for the most part they're getting along well now.

View attachment 2122745
View attachment 2122746

I mean c'mon, how can you not love this little dork?

View attachment 2122747

I'll stop overloading the post with cat pics now, but I don't think I've talked much about ours before, and everyone on the CPE dev team absolutely loves cats. Plus, they act as our HR team and keep us all happy, so technically they're relevant to the project



Alright, that's all I have for today. I can't say for sure how the next biweekly update will be; after my anxiety caused so much work trouble for me these past two weeks, I've been cutting down on the amount of appointments I have going on so I can get work done more consistently. That said, I do have an invasive exam happening in about a week to hopefully figure out what's causing one of my biggest health problems, so I'm definitely feeling nervous there - and then the week after that is my birthday, so it's a hell of a hectic month for me haha.

This was a bit of a small update, but we're all working hard to get the next playable update out as soon as we can, so I hope you're excited about it! Thank you all for reading, and for continuing to follow the project - we'll see you again in the next update!

Thank you again for all the updates and working on this great game.

Additionally: KITTY!

Ironically, the BE animation progress preview with the frames of the vines and breasts missing made me realize how hot a flat-chested Alicia would be.

Big Alicia looks amazing. Will we get a "ripped clothes" version as well? Cause Alicia isn't fully nude ever but she have that ripped up outfit. Your new cat is adorable btw. Wishing you and the rest of the team good health.

 

[hyperboy14]

And for me the exact opposite. I hate the futa crap and it made me lose interest in the sex parts of this game. And inverted wall jump made me lose interest in the rest.


Edit: But as the game now undergoes some major overhaul the walljump stuff may not even work the same. I'll hope for the best in the upcoming versions.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Honestly just add the futanari content and add an option to toggle it off. That way those who want it (like me) can have it and those who don't want it don't have to deal with it. It's clear that the developer would like to add more of it so let's allow them to do so. Those who don't like futa could just toggle it off. Everyone's happy this way.

That's a slippery slope, because if that gets to be catered to then other people will want their options to be added as well. Things like that could/should be saved for a separate game to prevent clogging up this one with arguments.

 

[burryniceuser]

Am I missing some sort of traversal upgrade for this part? If I time it right I can dash and just barely see the grapple hook spot, but I can't get nearly close enough to grab it.
Edit: Figured out what went wrong. You're not supposed to make it here without the hover boots, but I had jumped on the bug hive to be able to bypass the requirement, which wasn't intented by the developer.

 

[napala]

Not only that: just the "futa off" toggle would require alternative creating three completely new CGs, and 8 animations, if I'm counting right. Either that, or completely disable the animations and CGs regarding the alraunes and the shield guard.

 

[burryniceuser]

I finally made it to the end of the puzzle and there's no way up. Awesome. I did end up finding the wall jump power up later. Kinda lame to finish a difficult puzzle and not be able to progress.

Sequence breaking kinda does that. Sometimes you can progress without required stuff, sometimes you get hard walled and have to go back.

In rare cases you brick yourself in and can't go back, so it's back to an earlier save for you. I don't think there are any softlocks like this in CPE though.

CAT SO CUTE

I actually came back to this spot with the hover boots and couldn't progress because I didn't have the wall jumping ability. Don't think the wall jump was supposed to be necessary to get there.

Great game! Really enjoyed the demo. Looking forward to when you get everything together!

not in the current version, but occasionally new areas/abilities will have minor glitches that can and have to be fixed. like in the version where the melee fire ability was changed. there was a spot you could JUST jump to and would get stuck if you didn't have fire yet because you had to burn your way out. (it's been fixed of course)
(I could look up the bug report post I made if you needed the specifics)

Thanks! And ripped clothing is a yes, Big Alicia will have several variation sprites to represent Alicia's current status: clothing, BE state, low health, high libido, things like that.

maybe we get a full nude option?

 

[Kruggov]

Hm, why not add an option to show Alicia with different state of clothing at all times (always fully clothed/always clothing damage/nude)? But only after reaching the end of current content (or just finishing the game, once it's done).

I've always appreciated the cheats menu reward for finishing the game. this would be a great addition to that.

is it possible that the BE is permanent or make a setting in game where you can activate or deactivate it.

Hey everyone, welcome to another CPE development update! Sorry this one is a day late - I managed to mess up my thumb over the weekend so typing was difficult, and I generally wasn't feeling well yesterday, so I decided to wait a day. I'm feeling much better today, so here we are!

This one isn't going to be too big, and I'll get into the details during the post. The only visual I have to show off this week is the progress we've made on the UI rework, so let's start with that!









Here's how things are looking so far. Keep in mind these are still very WIP, so anything and everything on these is subject to change - but since the last version we showed was in greyscale, I wanted to show how things are shaping up now that we're adding color. Let me know how you feel about it so far!



Things have been pretty standard for the rest of us since the last development update. Puffernutter has had a LOT of freelance work, so her time to work on CPE has been limited; Orexius has been continuing work on the BE Vines animation update, and the new gameplay animations needed for 360 aiming; and I've still been working on 360 aiming, the lighting update, and the screen size update. I've been changing between tasks as needed to keep my programming life interesting, so even though I'm still working on a lot of different things I talked about several weeks ago, they'll probably end up all being finished at about the same time.

Aside from that though, I also had the realization last week that I was falling back into the trap of having too much going on, and I was starting to run myself ragged again. My work hours on CPE are MUCH healthier than they've ever been before, so that part isn't an issue, but I had too much going on in terms of appointments and such, and it was starting to take a toll on me. In the last weekly update, I talked about getting a health examination, and I ended up canceling that for a few reasons - the first one was to give myself a break from major appointments, and the other was because the exam is a fairly expensive one, and so I decided to save it for early next year so it can count towards next year's health insurance deductible. Gotta love US health insurance.



In any case, now that I'm done with physical therapy for my knee, the only major appointments/obligations I have are standard life things, working on CPE, and going to therapy every other week. I'm already feeling a lot better now that my todo list has been simplified, so I'm going to really be able to dig in and focus on getting all these major CPE overhauls completed so we can get you guys a playable update! I really do have to thank you all for being so patient; I know development is weird right now and I'm so grateful to you all for being patient with me while I figure things out. Because of my upbringing, I have a lot of difficulty dealing with high-stress situations, and I get stressed/overwhelmed more easily than anyone else I know - leading a game dev team can often take a lot out of me, but I've been able to really enjoy working on CPE again lately, and that's entirely thanks to both my team, and all of you supporting us, who have been so patient and understanding even when things are slow and I'm struggling. All of your comments mean the world to me, too - it's easy to feel rather isolated when working on a game like this, but seeing you all cheer us on really keeps my morale up, so even if I don't respond to all of your kind words, please know that I am reading them and I appreciate the hell out of each and every one of you!



Before I finish up this post, we're almost out of the "fun" stuff to show off for this next playable update, so the next few biweekly updates will probably be pretty simple, just updating on our progress for the stuff you already know we're doing. Since these updates are getting pretty straightforward, I want to make up for that by doing regular streams until v0.46 is completed and in your hands. Our internet here is still having some issues, but it's usually fixed by just rebooting our modem and router, so it should be stable enough to do streams even if it blinks out every once in a while.

With that said, we're going to tentatively schedule streams for Monday and Wednesday, starting at 4 pm AKST(Alaska standard time). Not today of course, since we're already past that point, so our next stream should be this Wednesday. I always tweet (and @ in our discord) when we're starting up a dev stream, so if you want a reminder, you can either follow me directly on Picarto (

Because our Discord server is NSFW, I can't post the link to it publicly here on Patreon, but I'll post one on all the other places we post dev updates - and if you're pledged to us, you should be automatically invited into our server if you link your Patreon and Discord accounts.

Alright, that's it for me today. Thank you for reading everyone, and I hope to see you at our stream on Wednesday!
