No weekly update this week

Hey everyone,

Sorry, but there won't be an update this week. I have a lot of things I need to wrap up before I can get back to lewd work, so until then, my hands will be a bit tied. I'll keep trying to get stuff out to you all soon though! I hope you look forward to it!

Have a great week!

May 23rd weekly update! Finding the Rhythm

Hey everyone,

Shortish update this week. Ran into a lot of motivational problems trying to get things done and plan things out. Things aren't working out great for me IRL so I've been trying to fix things with mixed results. Just want to let you guys know what's up since it's been slowing down things. I've just been stuck in my head these last few days.

But anyway, I've been steadily working on things. I wanted to try and get an update out on tumblr and the other art sites every 2 days, but I think it just burnt me out. I want to try and be more product focused so I can do more and get more done with my art, but I've still got a lot to learn when it comes to getting things done and out the door.

But for things that are coming up, I have a couple of animations I'm doing for practice. A couple of them are for some fan art for some artists I like, so I won't be posting those until they're done. But I'm still working on the Dark Magician girl  and D.va anims. They're going to be a bit more cinematic than just the average loop I do which is why it's taking a bit longer than usual. But I should get the Dark Magician anim out later this week if things go well.

I made some new devlogs on itch.io talking about Renapet and Getter Graffiti. Basically the long short of it is that I ran into resolution problems again since my resolution wasn't divisible by 16 and would cause problems down the line for both games. So now I'm working with 384 x 216 which for GG isn't much of an issue, but it means I'll have to rearrange/ redo a lot of stuff for Renapet. So I'll steadily keep trying to get work done on those. I really don't know when I'll get an update out for either since I've just been out of it recently, but I'll try my best.

I've also been trying to do more drawings. I gonna try a work on a simpler style so I can make cleaner work faster. Personally I feel like none of my drawing are really conveying an idea or theme I want to express I managed to finish some Aster fan art I did of the game's protagonist so I'll have that posted below.

So that's basically it for last week. Really  just been unfulfilled/ unsatisfied by my art recently and it's been harder and harder to get work done, but I'll try my best. Maybe I just need to try something new, who knows. I want to try doing more OC work since I feel like I make a lot of fan art and while I like working with other's characters, it feels like I'm not making anything myself. I don't know. Gonna try to get that Dark Magicain anim done and maybe 2 small drawing while I do some game work hopefully.

See you guys next week.

May 16th weekly update! Getting into the flow

Hey everyone,

Sorry for the delay on this week update. Like I mentioned yesterday I kinda burned myself out a bit trying to push the updates out which led to me taking a bit of a break. But I'm back now so let's get to the news!

GAMES

Okay. So like I mentioned before I wasn't able to get the updates for Getter Graffiti or Renapet out. The main problem I ran into was the fact that I had set myself up poorly and ran into many problems with the resolution. For starters, I didn't even pay attention to it in Getter Graffiti which cause a lot of small sub pixel problems. For Renapet, I tried to actually keep everything on the same pixel scale when I made the sprites, but failed to really implement that in Unity itself which also caused pixel scaling problems. Plus, while the resolution I chose could scale up to 1080, it didn't scale to 720 would intentionally could be an issue later when I'm doing ports to phones or other devices. The second resolution I used could scale the way I needed it to, but I later realized it wasn't a 16:9 ratio lol So I spent a lot of time researching how to properly scale pixel games in Unity and what resolutions to use.

I eventually landed on the resolution of 320 x 180. This scales well with 360, 480, 720, and 1080 at a 16:9 ratio and is a 16:9 resolution. The only problem is that it's noticeably bigger than my previous resolution so I might have to change some of the sprites. Namely the larger Rena sprites like the Vag scene and the "Sex canvas" where you select how to have sex with her. I'll most likely need to change the UI buttons too since they'll be pretty small now.

Original resolution of the vag scene

New resolution. There's definitely a lot more space haha

So unfortunately the updates will be pretty significantly delayed since I need to figure all this out and make sure it all works the way I want it to. I basically need to rework both games from the ground up just to make sure I handle all the pixel problems correctly and since both of their code bases were made during a game jam, I'll be patching those up too to get rid of the numerous small problems in both games ( in GG you can still fall through the floor if you do it right). Unfortunately most of this will be under the hood so I won't really have much to show until it's near to finishing. I'll keep you guys posted on how things are going. I've been trying to do a bunch more graffiti sprays for Getter Graffiti so when the update does happen there will at least be a significant content upgrade as well haha

RWBY-asses big graffiti spray wip. Still need to fix the colors and stuff haha

Also for GG I was thinking I could have some pallete swaps of the same enemies but give them different animations. This way I can keep the enemy functionality, but bring in some more variety in the scenes. I was thinking of having a female sprint cop and then a futa one. They'd have the same abilities, but would have different animations play out when they catch you. Let me know what you think of the idea, I sprited some designs below.

PIXEL ART

while I'm working on the games, I want to make some content to tide you guys over and get some animation ideas out of my head. Currently I have 6 animations in progress and 4 more that I have planned out but haven't began spriting yet. I'd post wips, but they're all a bit too early to show but I know I will have one of them done by the end of the week. The plan is to do one per week alongside the games I'm making. I'm also going to try to make them a bit more cinematic and have stages to them rather than just be loops. They'll take a bit longer, but I think they'll be more enjoyable. I'm working on the Dark Magician Girl and the D.va one I showed cased is up after that. I'll show wips when I tidy them up more!

I also did some work on that Renamon mating press loop. I'll probably finish it later to show how I want the scenes to progress. Someone informed me that I forgot to make the tip of her tail white though so I'll be going back and fixing that later haha

I also did some background practice to test out the resolution in unity. I started out with the old resolution I used from Renapet and had to adapt it for the new size which is why there's so much space at the top lol Might use it for something later. Also if your curious on who that green character is, I made a femboy alien Puwa based of Sqoon's designs for fun. I may do something with him later, who knows haha

Genus concept sprites

ARTWORK 

To get more content out, I also want to start doing a bit more paintings as well. I'm working on refining a "refined sketch" style so that I can hash out ideas and get content to you guys faster. I also wanted to start doing mini sketch comics (like 4 panels) that I think would be fun. I should have some stuff coming your guys way soon. But in other news I finally did the impossible and finished up that Majin Android 21 set! There's probably a lot of small issues with it but I just need to call it finished and move on to something else at this point lol

PLANS

So the goal right now is to maximize my content output while getting work done on my games. I plan on getting an animation done per week, a GG spray done per day, and animation work for Renapet. I wanna try to get a weekly small sketchy comic done too since I've been wanting to do a bit more original stuff and start developing some OCs. They wouldn't be anything complex but I think they'd be a good way to get the creative juices flowing.

So specifically for the week I want to:

- finish the Dark Magician Girl anim

- finish the Rena idle anim

- do more work on Rena's walk anim

- do a couple more GG sprays

- layout sprint cop anims

- do some simple drawings

- layout a comic idea

- continue fixing GG and Renapet resolution problems

- start implementing sprint cop functionality

- continue working on Renapet's beat-em-up tech demo

It will be a lot of work, but most of them are small things so I think it will work out. I want to find a good flow to my work output so I'll be testing the waters with this haha

Oh also, people were asking about donating outside of itch.io. I was thinking of setting up a paypal button or Ko-fi to give people more options. I don't want to pressure people into donating, but I'm always really appreciative of it, so I want to make it as easy as possible to do. Let me know if there are any other options that you guys would prefer and I'll try to get it done.

That's all for now. Gonna try to get some cool stuff out for you guys. See you next week!

Little delay on this week's update

Hey everyone,

There will be an update this week. Sorry I didn't have one last week. I was kind of burnt out from trying to get an update out and running into problems so I decided to take it easy a bit.

I do have some news to tell you guys about as far as projects go and some stuff to show off so I hope you look forward to it!

"Save Girl" sprite from an old game I never finished

Demo delays...

Hey gang,

So despite my shonen anime-like determination to get these updates done, it just won't be possible to get what I want done between the work needed and some irl stuff I have to take care of. Sorry to disappoint you guys...

The main reason was really that I really increased the update to Renapet's size by a large margin and soon there was 1 extra animation needed, then 3, then 5 and honestly I just bit off more than I can chew, but I tried to make things look either really cool, really sexy or both, so I hope you guys will enjoy them haha A lot of it was trying to get an early concept for the beat em up game going, but outside of the animations needed, there was the host of coding issues needed fixing and things went a lot slower than I wanted them to as usual, and rushing code has never helped me in the long run so I figured it would be best to take it slow and do it properly the first time.

For Getter Graffiti, I'm kind of stuck in a rut with the graffiti sprites. All of them are starting to look lack luster to me since the size for them is kind of irregular and smallish anyways. Even the big spray sprites just look messy to me. Idk, maybe it's just me but it makes it hard to work on since I'm never really satisfied with the result. I'll play around with them more and do some research and see if  I can shape them up to what I want them to be a bit more. There's also still quite a couple of bugs code-wise and it got me thinking that it might be better to restart the project from scratch since I'll have to fix the pixel resolution of the game anyway and most of the code was "Game Jam" code so it's not written the best. I had planned to make the update more small in scale, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought it would be better to fix these issues now rather than keep building on a poor foundation. So the next update will be coming later, but will be a bit more substantial for the game overall and should fix a lot of the annoying issues in the game.

So yeah, unfortunately I won't be able to deliver this week. I actually did get a good foundation for the Rena beat-em-up. I have the combo system working and enemy health hit-stun states, but unfortunately I'm still working on stuff like knock back, proper hit boxes, and things like that. So I'm going to delay the updates to May. I'm not 100% when I'll get them done, but I'll set a hard deadline for the end of the month, and will just try to get them out as early as I can.

But since you all have been so patient with me, I'll throw some WIPs your way of stuff I got in the works. Let me know what you think and if you think anything needs changing since nothing is final yet.

Small mock up of the beat-em-up training area. Also a sand bag for you to practice moves on.

Same without the characters

Small idle anim for Impmon

Rena idle animation WIP. Was originally going to be something more static/ focused since I felt it fit her nature better. But I also wanted something more animated to keep the game's energy up so I tried to compromise and this was the result. Trying to have the breasts swing but not too much. It's not done yet, but let me know what you guys think about it. 

A special scene you can do with Impmon. Was one of the main reasons why I needed extra time haha This will kind of let you know how the other scenes in the game will work. Also gave Rena pink nips. Figured I'd emphasize the nipples in tit focused scenes but keep them more reserved in the other ones (implying they're inverted most of the time). Let me know what you guys think about this and if I should give her more prominent, pink nipples in the higher res vag scene.

A small idea I had that I wanted to turn into an animation. I'm liking how it's turning out and will add a few finishing touches before I start animating. Let me know if you guys notice anything out of the ordinary since I sometimes miss things haha

Another teaser for the Majin 21 set since it's taking half a millennium to finish

PLANS

I'll be taking a bit of a step back from Renapet and GG just so I don't stress myself out too much. I'm gonna try wrap up the Majin 21 set since I made some good progress on it and it's been hanging over my head so much that I just want to be done with it before I continue working on anything else. Then I'll solidify everything I want from the GG and Renapet updates exactly so I don't overload myself again. Might try to animate that Chloe hip shake anim just for practice too. 

Hopefully everything will go well this time around and sorry once again for having to push back the updates.

April 25th weekly update! Chippin' away

Heyo gang,

Small update for this week since I'm really busy. Plugging away at the updates for Getter Graffiti and Renapet and I'd much rather show you guys the demos rather than just screenshots of them lol. There's going to be quite a lot of foundation laying for Renapet since I hope to add a training area concept of the beat-em-up and finish the vag sex scene. There's also going to be  a lot of new art in the game so it's going to be a lot of content but unfortunately there still won't be too much actual game play yet as I still need to flesh a lot of it out. I hope to get the coding done over the next few days so I don't leave it all to the last minute like I always do haha For Getter Graffiti, I'm still going to try and add a few more pieces of graffiti and then fix a lot of the small problems with the game as well as try to add the Sprint officer in the game. It's getting a bit dicey though, as the update for Renapet is taking quite a bit of time and I'm worried I won't get this done in time, especially since I had planned to revamp the spray graffiti code so that is was more consistent. Anyway, I'll try my best regardless! I'll let you guys know as soon as the updates are available or if there needs to be a delay.

Impmon big chillin'

Anyway I have a few pixel animations I want to do once I finish the update. My Tumblr has been popping of recently and people seem to like my pixel animations so I'll be making more of them haha I'll still do art and stuff on the side, but for now I think pixel animations are a good avenue to explore. I really want to show you guys some wip stuff, but I'll wait a bit until I think they're in a more presentable state. I hope you look forward to seeing them in the future!

Also I'm still working on the Majin 21 set. I'm no longer 100% confident I'll get it done by the end of the month since I have the game updates to do, but as always I'll try my best. 

That's all for now. Hope you guys have a great week!

April 18th weekly update! Workin' and plannin'

Hey everyone,

GAMES 

Unfortunately I didn't get as much work as I wanted for the games as far as programming goes. Mostly I spent it trying to finalize what Getter Graffiti and Renapet will be. For the most part, I have things laid out.

For Getter Graffiti, I still want to add a few things in the design to give you more of a challenge than just dodge graffiti. I thought of periodically increasing the game's speed, but as the game stands now, things are kind of hard to see in motion (  at least the graffiti and sometimes the background elements)so I'll be trying to fix how the camera renders things in the coming weeks. Then I'll look to increasing speed. I also thought of  having to pick up spray cans and having different  costs for spraying graffiti depending on the size.I kind of like the idea, but at the same time it could easily make things too cluttered on the screen and be an unneeded layer of micromanagement, so I'm still not sure if I want to add it yet. A cool thing I wanted to add in was dash rings. This would sort of operate like the ones in Sonic where moving into one sends you forward at an increased speed for a short time. It could help the player distance them from the chaser a bit when they're in a pinch. I'll probably start thinking about how to implement it once I get the monthly build done. But for right now, I'm mostly just working on adding more content and polishing the code a bit so things are more consistent.

For Renapet, I'll be honest I spent most of the week kinda worried the project might get shut down due to copyright infringement. I'm going to try hard to present it as a parody and never explicitly state it as Digimon and always use "Rena" instead of "Renamon". It seems to work with game slike Something Unlimited and Four elements trainer so hopefully things goes well lol Other than that I spent time thinking of how I'm going to balance things out across the game. I spent a lot of time playing a bunch of different beat-em-ups and battle-fuck games since those are going to be the 2 main focuses in the game. I figured I could have the player gain experience points through both modes that they could then invest in Rena's stats. The problem I ran into is that with both of this modes in, I can't find a reason to having the "training" option in the game. Basically the problem is why would you play the mini-games when you can just play the main games? Even when I was looking at the game that inspired the idea, FullFlap's Fist of Inma, I never played the mini-games much because all they did was give give you some experience. I figured it would be better to just have those be rewards in the beat-em-up and the battle fuck game. Not only would it make both modes a bit more impactful, but it would also cut down on work that needs to be done (like this game's scope isn't big enough lmao). If anything, I might have one mini-game that could help the player get a small amount money if they don't want to commit the time to doing one of the main games since it might end up taking a while to complete one. It might be something simple like Rena delivering pizzas or something lol IDk I'll work on it and see what needs to be in the game once I get farther on figuring out the battle fuck RPG and Beat-em-up components.

PIXEL ART

So this week I started laying out a lot of pixel art for Getter Graffiti. I want to get about 5 new graffiti sprays for the update at the end of the month so I'll be working on them for the most part. I have some pixel anims planned in mind but they're a while off. I also want to get the Chloe Valens hip shake anim done sometime soon so keep a look out for that.

ARTWORK

Finished the last Renamon pic I wanted to do for Renamon appreciation month. I did a cum edit of it, but I's a bit subtle so I'll probably make the cum a bit more messy next time so it's more apparent haha

Other than that I've been trying to do some more painting practice. I really need to work on my lighting, rendering and lines. I'll have a few pieces out soonish to show what I've been working on. But for now I'll be focusing more on the game updates so you won't be seeing much drawings until after April.

Also I've been making good progress on the Majin set so it'll definitely be done before the end of the month. Once again, sorry that it's taking so long to finish.

PLANS

So I'm switching gears to go full throttle on the updates to the games. I'll layout what I want out of each update below:

Getter Graffiti v0.4
- Sprint officer implementation and animation
- Polish a few of the sprites already in the game
- Simple tutorial page
- Resolution fix/ pixel camera implementation

Renapet:
- Rena idle animation
- Complete vag scene
- Stats screen
- Early Beat-em-up concept
- Beat-em-up and Battle fuck UI
- Resolution fix/ pixel camera implementation

Also I've been doing a lot of fan art recently and want to start doing more original characters. I'm probably going to try and make some original characters and making some more original content after the updates. Maybe start doing some comics if I get the time. I think that'd be fun haha I hope you look forward to it!

See you guys next week!
