So i transitioned from attempting to have a concise, coherent post about important info to just sitting hear monitoring the stream and chats and listing everything ive thought might be of interest - essentially going to be writing down random shit im hearing/seeing as the stream goes on. Please note, this is all WORD OF MOUTH or, if you prefer, RUMORS - everything written here is what ive heard, but that does not mean it is set in stone
Notes on Dev and Game:
-has two friends on him constantly hounding to work, talked about having a third
-main struggle is volume of work - seems to be the main issue for this update specifically. added/adding alot to have this update up and running(scope creep). talked about having a conversation with his friends/colleagues to prevent this in future
-very antisocial/introverted(despite being a very talkative person?), likely explains lack of communication with supporters[still doesnt explain why he doesnt hire a PR manager(actually touched on this, albiet indirectly: wants someone who is familiar with game to be able to essentially coach/feed him suggestions that are feasible to be added - wants someone who knows the game as well as he does)]
-does read chats during streams
-sleep deprived on this stream, first occurrence from the streams ive seen
-game is written in Dart
-*next updates(atleast two) after this one(Oral) appear to be Portals, then UI, then a few more listed that i didnt catch*(original statement)
-still having fun developing game, not burnt out. frustrated with current update, but still happy and excited to be working. appears to be making living fully from patreon(personal note: general attitude suggests that update delays are genuine, and not a result of "milking" his patrons. goes against my initial thoughts on his motivation, but signs point to the dev being a genuine person suffering from the sickness known as "being human"... either that or he is remarkably good at hiding his true intentions)
-FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, THIS IS A RUMOR BUT IT DID COME FROM THE DEV'S MOUTH: confident in finishing in next day or two, BUT we have heard this before, and the dev personally said that "I've said this before, but..."
-is working every day on the game for 8-10 hours
-has adhd, struggles with concentration, but tries to adhere to his schedule as best as he can
-(used to?)deals with stress by avoiding things, used to dread working on game till did some soul searching through meditation and shit
-up to 5 or 6 different Secret Horse Files games, 5/6th is Factory(factorio-like lewd production game, ponies optional/more furry oriented, more people and artists to collaborate with), talked about posting something about his hidden/forgotten project(#4)
-has atleast one artist dedicated to items such as collars
-wants to work on Factory after this update, and then work on some tangible content that will be able to be delivered quickly for SHF3(assuming new dicks, toys and items but not explicitly stated)
-wants to expand future projects into furry territory, ie taking this game and creating an offshoot for it to use only a single character to create a more focused experience(mentioned rig work becomes exponentially harder as more characters are added). further in future, likely after game is completed
-*stated along the lines of "long term update plan after adding this update(some aspects of oral) is portals, mental stuff/time passage stuff, then focus on polishing and expanding upon the then-current mechanics and freezing putting in new mechanics"*(stated explicitly later in stream)
-did seem very "rushing to finish" this stream, and was mostly focused on bug fixing
Future Ideas(apparently from the hidden idea/suggestion trello):
-Makeup touched on(running down face specifically), stated that he liked idea further down road, likely in an update involving making things 'messier'
-Faces(and probably rigs in general) have been made more complicated with layering while being simplified(?), allows more to be done with the rigs for future updates
~~In same vein, character customization planned further along(scope seems pretty extensive, talked about some chimera type shit like swapping dragon legs on a pony body), talked about drip feeding it along multiple updates
-Changing color palates is planned, likely with UI update
-Winking and heart clitoris is an idea that is liked, specifically because dev is unhappy with current vulva appearance. stated for future. possible vulva customization and/or rework
-Milking equipment
-Something about tits/nipples/portable nipples/nipple dicks(but not dick nipples)
-Portals. size scaling was touched on, but hes unsure of how to proceed with that(scaled on character, or scaled through portal? leaning toward former). also talked about flipping dicks and needing references(ie, underside)
-Pawjobs/hoovejobs/handjobs(for the uncultured) from characters, stated likely with portals, would be probably passive instead of active(rubbing instead of gripping). unknown about handjob as a "toy"
-talked about watersports, missed a bit about this due to outside interference/lack of paying attention, but think they stated its planned(talked about it later, aware that if added it would be divisive and that IF it was added it would be completely optional - assuming all fetishes will likely be optional)
-more body parts(ie, lizard tiddies)
-full depth penetration(ie, losing sex toys inside subject), stated after portals
-toggles, likely coming in UI updates(ie, turn off/on bulges)
-pregnancy talked about, however no clear decision on for or against to be added(or i just wasnt paying attention). was in a joke conversation about lootboxes and not mentioned as a clear topic(ie, forced to log in when your waifu get a craving)
-condoms and fluid filling really liked as an idea, stated fluids are hard to work with but want to implement. also mentioned condom skirts and filling and adding more to said skirt(after base features added)
-ovipositors
-wants to work on dick expansion in next update after this current one.... no not EXPANSION in the fetish sense but more assets and types
-different sizes of changeling characters, also had an idea about feeding chrysalis with, ahem, "love" and she becomes bigger, with every orgasm causing her to become smaller as she expends energy
-urethral play or sounding
-no fluid expansion explosion
-away from the stream at this point to do something, but caught the tail end - dislikes idea of having Yak characters in-game, but possibly open to having another artist make the assets?
-tube PSI pressure(fluid filling rate adjustment)
-adamant about NEVER adding easter eggs in his games
-double dicks
-SciTwi
Current Bugs and items being worked on(seen/heard, not from the trello):
-googly eyes
-a HOLY SHIT WTF moment of rapid clicking causing the character to explode with only eyes and a mouth showing. shit was creepy
-track/animation issues(animations playing in wrong order)
-working on non pony characters(implied done with current pony characters, but cant confirm)
-current programming is still Ember's(large blue dragon) rig and how it interacts with oral mechanics, along with the bugs that ensued from that. then moved onto another character's rig(BonBon), doing same.
