Talking about the digging minigame kinda stole the show so I didn't really have time to talk about the new character Marlow
He kinda has the same vibes as Meph from hentai university, but without being quite as evil. As I was writing him I kinda got a reversed vibe of the artist Picturd.
He's quite fun to write, although I was having trouble at spots. Syrup MC's Yu is a certified good boy (tm), and as such would probably not rail the brat like HU's protagonist Thomas would. Thankfully, Yu's addiction to fluff gave me a way to finish Marlow's intro.
It's not currently visible but that final scene with Marlow adds to a skill called "Dominance", that'll be used and improved with both him and the next upcoming character Khanna. What exactly will I end up doing with it? Not sure, but I'm sure I'll come up with something.
The digging minigame was really fun to create, there was actually a lot of unused stuff surrounding it. A few treasures just didn't manage to pan out. Embedding fossils in the wall proved way too hard, and coins I couldn't figure out how to flatten the image onto the coin, so I ended up dropping both of them
In the next version I want to code in a way to pause the digging game so I can play events, I have these mimic imps already ready:
And speaking of imps I played this game recently:

And I think it'd make another really fun minigame, so I brainstormed up a design for an imp who'd cause you to get lost in the forest, leading to a series of short events as you try to escape:
And before I forget I have an X account now:
You must be registered to see the links
Mostly because I need to figure out how to keep growing until I can make enough to live off of. If I were smart I would have added the link into the game for v6
Finally, I have a batch of requested subscriber jiggies that'll be posted in v6:
Could also slam fuck him. Or amazon press, perhaps? There are a lot of ways a FeMC character could top him or other more bottom-y villagers without her wearing a strap.
Edit: Not that I'm opposed to strap-ons or other toys. Those can be a ton of fun. Just figured I'd offer some possible alternatives as well.
Hmm I wonder how well the AI can do those poses

I have to fight the AI just a bit to ensure scenes are properly human on anthro, and femdom is already hard, but doing an amazon press sounds like a lot of fun. I'll give it a shot!
This update is so amazing! Your characters are so creative and fun to interact with, Marlow unexpectedly replaced cayenne and became my favorite so fast. I love both their characters and can't wait to see what you do in the future, your ideas are so exciting!
Glad you enjoyed him! I was a bit worried when writing his final scene. Making the MC too much of a pushover could frustrate players, but I also like the idea that the MC isn't nearly as pornbrained as the townsfolk. I could easily see some kind of arts & crafts day where half the town made sculpts of the MC's dick, while Yu is trying to get the tail details just right on his Marlow sculpture.
Same, I wish Marlow wouldn't straight up disappear after finishing his questline tho
That's how most are after I finish their intro, before I actually add their house into the game. Homes need introduction scenes, dialogue to fill the status quo, a scene for anything I want to put into the house, and at least one repeatable. There wasn't enough time for that for v6.
TBH, I kinda said what I said while assuming the hyena was a futa, not realizing that everyone in the game is mono-sex. Though like Yukemoto said, there are plenty of ways to extra the seed of the more subby characters if the MC is willing to take charge. Either way, interesting so far, will be interested to see how things go with the fem-mc's and the human variants.
Indeed a lot of people are excited for for the FeMC route. Hopefully however I end up deciding to do it won't be too much of a hassle.
For the non-furry version, that's not too far away. Making the new models takes way more time than I was originally expecting. I had initially planned for it to take just 2 updates to do the whole cast, but I actually average only 2 new models every update.
Marlow's scenes involved a lot of fiddling and inpainting, I wonder if those will end up being really difficult for the non furry version.
When I went through the intro, I set Cayenne to have a penis, but afterwards, the content preferences had them set as having a pussy and they had a pussy when I went to visit them. I had to change it in the preferences menu.
Helena gallery disappeared for me in this version
These are bugs, sorry. I found the cause, they'll be fixed in v7.
