Weekly Update News #21

Hello! It is time for another poll! About time, I say!



Links to the polls here!

Now, I'm going to explain how we're doing this... Again!

How long do polls last?
The same as last time. About 14 days or 2 weeks! That should be enough time to obtain a nice sample size for the poll!

How are the poll votes calculated?
Each tier of the poll is weighted differently. Tier 1 is the lowest, Tier 4 is the highest. Tier 1's poll is open to the public, so it is free. Tier 2 and above is available, depending on your patron tier.

If I support your highest patron tier, do I get to vote in all 4 Poll Tiers? You get more votes in the poll depending on your supporter tier. So don't forget to vote in all 4 of them, if you are eligible for it!

When are the results of the poll released? We will announce the results on the following Weekly Update News post, as well as a detailed breakdown!

...So when's the next update coming out dood?
We're close to being done. Unfortunately we had to rework an entire piece of artwork from scratch because none of us in the art team noticed that one of the character is drawn disproportionately. Since that artwork is used for the JUICY sex scenes, we can't just ignore the issue.

...That's it for now! Have a nice day! Be sure to vote in the polls!

Hey! It's been quite the week! ...for me, at least.



Yeah. So I ate some food poisoning and it's really bad. Missed out 4 days of work (I work a delivery job) and about as much time working on the game itself. Yeah, work on implementing the stuff in v3 is minimal, to say the least... The other artists are at work on assets for v4 though!

The polls are still going on, links here!

Weekly Update News #24

Hey! The 2nd poll is over!
Here's a detailed breakdown of the votes and the final result, but first...



Recap! If you played the most recent release version (v2.3), there's a church in the city. The church has a bishop (sorta like a leader figure). The bishop will be wearing the same outfit as Nono (the bunny sister from the Church), more or less. Thanks to the first poll, it has been decided that this bishop would be a FOX!

Now, the 2nd poll is to decide on the bishop character's body type and gender!

The winner is... Futanari and with that choice, the choice of body type will be left to the artists. With that, we can finally get started on designing the character! Stay tuned for more details, early sketches for new characters might pop up in the weekly patron-only sneak peek posts!

Announcement for the next upcoming update!
All work for v3.0 has been completed, finally! It's being prepared for BETA testing right now, and should be out in a few days. Just have to check that there's no problematic issues with the new content.

See ya! Stay safe!

Finally v3.0 has started it's BETA testing!

First, I have something I need to address.
'Why do I have access to BETA when I'm only a Slime Tier Patron? I thought it was for Pixie Tier and up?'
It was, I kinda messed up things here on my end. The community event was supposed to involve all of Slime tier as well, but I forgot. So this is my way of making it up for ya.

Next, for the next version update and onwards. We will be getting rid of the BETA testing as a whole! It's a little cumbersome and I don't think we need it. So from v.4 onwards, no more BETA testing, only releases and early access! We're kinda new at this so forgive us for making such stupid choices.

So here's a timeline of how we're going to roll things out!

30th November
Beta of v3.0 Starts

4th of December
Beta of v3.0 Ends, work on fixing bugs start.

7th of December
Release version of v3.0 out!

Dragon, Ogre, Kobold Tier Patrons
Gets access at 7th of December

Goblin Tier Patrons
Gets access at 13th of December

Pixie Tier Patrons
Gets access at 16 of December

Slime Tier Patrons
Gets access at 21th of December

Early Public Release!
25th of December

See ya! Stay safe!

Weekly Update News #25

Hey, hows it going?
The beta testing phase for v3.0 is now over! Bug fixing and preparation for the release versions is now underway! It'll be out on the 7th for early access to certain patron tiers.



This week, I wanna go over a few things (sort of like a postmortem) leading up to the completion of v3.0 as well as some stuff going forward!

First, it took way too damn long for v3.0 to be done. Reason for that is the amount of new assets we have to make for it. I don't think we can do much to make the asset creation process faster, considering each of us can only afford to put in 10-15 hours of work into Tail Saga per week (we're making this at our own free time). Thankfully, all the backgrounds and character sprites are reusable, so as we go further into the story, there's less and less character related asset work to do, hopefully.

Next up, I want to talk about the content for future updates! While Tail Saga is primarily a visual novel with a lewd setting, not every chapter/update/release will have sex scenes in it. We'd like to focus on character interactions and story first (just so happens sometimes the character interactions and story are the sex scenes).

Last point, early on in the v1.0 release days, there was talk about an in-game character profile system, similar to the lore codex that we have now. Using profile system, players can read up on a certain character's information and backstory (once revealed), stuff like that. I'm working on it. Hopefully I'll be able to add it in sometime in the future.

That's it for now! Reminder, early access release dates are listed

Weekly Update News #26
Hey hey! It's time for another weekly post!



I don't have much to talk about in regards to the development of the project other than: we are working on the next version already (no breaks for us, as usual)!

However I would like to ask a very simple question to you people out there that has played our game. What would you personally like to see in Tail Saga : The Princess Apprentice?

I understand it is a very broad question, but I'm just putting some feelers out for some interesting ideas out there. Besides, I'm very interested to see what you people like/want to see.

That's all for now. See ya! Reminder, early access release dates are listed

Weekly Update News #27

Another weekly post, a little bit chunkier this time! I'll be taking about how we're planning to release Chapter 2 as well as starting talks about something else.

Unlike Chapter 1, which is separated into 3 different releases, we'll be releasing Chapter 2 in 2 parts. However, if we finish making all the required assets in time, we can release the entirety of Chapter 2 as a single chunky update.



Now that's done, I want to bring up the talks of *merch*, because I'm been getting a couple of private messages asking about it. Stuff like stickers, mugs, posters, t-shirts, hoodies. Something important to note: merch will come included with the patron tier prices (for example, an ogre tier patron will be entitled to a hoodie or a t-shirt)

A simple yes or no poll

We've always felt like our patron tier rewards have been a bit lackluster. Maybe the idea of merch can spice it up a bit? Let us know what you think, what merch are you most interested in?

That's all for now...

Heh. Gotta thank ya for something, y'know! Who would've thought an image file would corrupt like that

Happens all the time, I would assume.
Look on the bright side. It was just one. The new Echoes of Lust update was tossing out errors multiple times in every new scene, lol.

I've played a few minutes and so far I like it. I'm sorely missing the "skip unseen text" option in the settings, however. It's available for selection by default so somebody had to remove it. Not a bad thing, just the whim of a busy boye such that I am.

For anyone who wants to activate it now, you can enable the RenPy console by following these instructions. Then, while playing the game, press Shift + O to open the console. Type: preferences.skip_unseen = True

Then hit enter. Exit the console and skip to your heart's content. Nice try, Potato my boi, but the nut waits for no man

 

[DeadPotato]

Thanks for playing the game! I would love to know what you think of it once you're done with it (or not, its your choice)!

Nice try, Potato my boi, but the nut waits for no man

I'll unhide the settings for the next patch/version. It's embarrassing to say this but I hid it when I was trying to figure out where to put the Misc settings and... sorta forgot to unhide it when I was done.

ayyyyy much appreciated. As for the game, I finished the remainder as it's quite short at the moment. I really do like the art though. Getting at those bunny nuns and hitting that trap again later too, I hope ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I turned on the extra sex sounds, they were good and didn't think they were annoying. I didn't use the text bleeps thing so no comment except that I probably won't. There's a lot of little animations that add life to the transitions/filler. Haven't encountered any errors, it's smooth. Finally, I like the gallery system. Got its own dedicated section in the main menu (should be called "scene replay" or just "gallery" instead) and plays the whole scene out. The popups while playing that tell you something new was unlocked are a helpful touch.

Overall, seems like you know what you're doing, even if you don't think so. It runs smooth, looks good, plays well, and isn't nearly as cringe as other furry content. Keep up the good work

Weekly Update News #28
After a week without a weekly post, WE'RE BACK! With a bunch of stuff to announce!



First of all, mobile versions (android only) of Tail Saga : The Princess Apprentice is available for download now! All the menus and UI has been adjusted to fit pocket sized screens better. All artwork is unaltered, so it's going to look as good as the artwork on the PC version! I might consider releasing a lite version (with scaled down artwork) for smaller install size, if there's enough demand for it.

Next, let's talk about the merch! As I've covered on the previous posts, these merch will have unique artwork and designs drawn for them. The merch itself will come at no extra cost and will ship globally. To earn the merch, you just have to be a patron supporter of the tier containing the merch for 3 months. Just think of it as paying bit by bit for the merch over the course of 3 months!

Note: You'll get the merch after 3 months, there will be no merch afterwards until the next series of merch gets released.

To start, the first series of merch will be available for 1 year or so, then we will retire those and a brand new set of merch will become available to earn again! Obviously we plan to increase the frequency of merch as well, as we get more demand patron supporters. The end goal is to provide new merch every 3 months, so there's stuff to be had every single season!

So what are the merch items? We're currently designing a t-shirt, a mug and a poster. We're also considering mini-prints (they're like post card sized artwork). Our goal is to provide a merch item for most tiers, and earn more merch the higher your tier is (earn ALL the merch items at the highest tier).

That's all for now...

Weekly Update News #29

It's another week, time for another weekly post! Only 2 things to go over this week.



First, I think having a post like this every week might be a little bit to much. So from next week and onwards, there will be no weekly update news. To cut down on the spam, I'll only do posts like these when it's needed, and I'll post it on the same time as this. The weekly sneakpeak posts on the Patreon page will still continue.

Next up, the merch items! For the first set of merch, we're doing a shirt, mug and poster. We can't reveal the designs yet since all of them only exist in sketch form but we will when the designs are final! We're hoping to launch the merch by next month, so look forward to that announcement!

That's it, until next time!
