Background
Concept:
Concept Art: Trick's Room





Trick is a witch who makes her living performing classic illusion shows and entertainment.
Playing cards, slots, roulette, and other related motifs are used to express her concept
Combat Motion
I started working on new motions for Xen and Rev this month, so I will be able to show you more in the next month or so
Battle System
Video
We implemented skill trees and decide how to manage data
Schedule for next month
This month we have found combat motion animators and have been working mainly on motion requests.
We have not yet found an animator for NSFW scenes and are still trying to figure out what to do. We are still looking for NSFW animators
Next month, I would like to continue working on the animation while continuing to create the combat system
Why does nobody want to animate erotic scenes? :(

True, but if we get a complete version with multiple witches to appeal to everyone that would be better imo.
If all witches are released at the same time we probably aren't getting a playable version till 2025-2026, He's still in the process of Filling out his dev team too. With what we've seen so far though it really looks like he's planning to release multiple girls at once so i'm doubtful of even a release mid or late next year

It sucks to wait but I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end.

Her lair is beyond beautiful. I cannot wait to see how her casino games play into her kinkiness.

Yeah, it definitely sucks that progress seems to have been slower last month, but I'm just happy NumericGazer gives an update every single month without fail, unlike some other devs out there.

When this comes out though.... whew. Can't wait for Chapter 2!

I usually try not to doom and gloom about this. But this is really not good news

We have not yet found an animator for NSFW scenes and are still trying to figure out what to do. We are still looking for NSFW animators
How long has this been in development like 2 or so years? And they still dont havent found 1 NSFW animator when they are searching for multiple. This game is gonna be the Star Citizen of porn games, just stuck in development hell, a shame...

This is basically a handcrafted game, and you can see it in every animation/camera shoot/dialogue.

Very high quality and an almost maniacal attention to details that is possible only for somebody that is enjoing his work.
Probably numericgaze really want to have control on his creation and that's why he has just started to seek for an animator only when he swittched from a little project with 2-3 girls to the new one.

Sure i get that and you can definitely see it in the locations, each room is filled to the brim with stuff, every last detail matters.

Not sure how good this is ultimately, the development process is certainly gonna take a few years to complete, I dont think people realize the scope of it. IIRC he started looking for animators last year, so to have no found one yet is really, really not a good sing. It either means no one is interested in the project or more likely he is a perfectionist and cant seem to find anyone that's good enough.

Yea i am pretty confident this game is either never coming out or it will take AT LEAST another 3-4 years for it.

If he was releasing all the girls at once i definitely think it would be 3-4 years but I think he's gonna go the same route as Chapter 1 and try to work on all the girls(Kuro being his main focus), i think once kuro is released the next girl won't be far behind. I wish there was someone in the discord with information that they could share here and tell us some of numeric's intentions, it would be really nice to know with 100% confirmation how numeric is planning on releasing the girls.


It's pretty crazy though that kuro was first introduced back in October 2021, it really shows how much plans numeric has for his game. Whenever the release drops it's gonna be amazing i bet just the clothing changes will blow us away.

I could be wrong since i am trying to remember his original goals he set long ago but isn't this exactly what he wanted to do with this game? As in complete all the girls and then release it? That also seems to be the development process as well since he is making every other room and girl as well, otherwise he wouldn't be doing that just yet and would focus more on going girl by girl.

I dunno, the more i look at it the more i think he is either gonna run out of money or will be stuck making this indefinitely. I dunno how he expects to finish this and also hire more people he needs to pay on a fraction of what he used to make, which is only going to get worse as time goes on.

The feature creep is such a death sentence for many developers no matter what type of game you make. I was perfectly fine with his original game, he should have kept it simple, just introduce new girl with every chapter no need for all the background noise and large maps. Then he decided to do just that with his second game made a completely pointless map on a lake with a house and a cave, then that wasnt enough either and now we have a castle in a shape of a spider.... Whats next? Gonna go full GTA and make a whole city? lol

Gonna end up bleeding hismelf dry with financing and just abandoning the whole thing.

Developers active on Patreon tend to become arrogant, attempting to develop 3A level games and forgetting that they only have one or a few people, rather than a large company. Then there was an excuse to explain the snail like slow progress. Many of the games I focus on are like this, and I believe this is a common phenomenon rather than a coincidence.
I would never pay money on Patreon.

If I remember correctly he want to introduce more girls, but with less animations/scene each.

He will relase alpha-build on patreon as for episode 0 and once he will complete all the girls (it will take a long) the game will be relase on steam an others platforms.

btw, he's got a LOT of money and even now there's a lot of people supporting him. In my opinion it's a good plan.

I just dont think we will see anything in another 3-4 years, the man hasn't even found his animators.

He certainly HAD a lot of money at some point. He used to have 3 times the supporters than he does now, maybe even now is enough money for him, not sure if its enough for multiple people. Either way it's only gonna keep dropping with time. So whether or not this is ultimately the right choice by him we have yet to see.

If you compare the timeline of episode one with episode zero you can see that you can expect some sort of playable build for early 2024, even with no animatore hired.

I very much doubt that, but we will see, early 2024 is not far away.
