The fallout from last week has resulted in some shakeups in my life as I figure out how to have a healthier environment and set myself up for success. Now that I better understand what's happening internally I can make big decisions for my long-te...
2023-11-06 17:42:20 +0000 UTC View PostThis post will also probably be the extent to which I talk about this topic. It's intensely personal. But, it's relevant to development progress, and I try to keep things frank and open here. There won't be any game talk here. Also, I am not askin...
2023-10-30 13:03:03 +0000 UTC View PostLast week I wasn't sure if I could finish the animation update, and was considering scrapping the whole idea to avoid delays. Luckily it ended up going pretty well! I gave myself a couple days to assess whether it was worth continuing, and ended u...
2023-10-23 11:28:08 +0000 UTC View PostBeen working on the animation code updates I mentioned last time. The biggest update (better frame-by-frame animation) requires changes to the core rendering code for the animations. That means I've been delving into some kinda hardcore 2d transfo...
2023-10-16 10:27:26 +0000 UTC View PostI've been updating my animation library (this project uses Spine2d) to support newer features in the software. The big improvement here is that Spine finally supports decent fra...
2023-10-08 12:52:13 +0000 UTC View PostI have overcome the burnout. Oh god, it was hard. It took a lot of delving into the depths of self-improvement.
Anyway! I'm back to consistent work on the game! Holy crap, my mental capacity is immensely increased after some proper recuperat...
2023-10-04 08:57:21 +0000 UTC View PostDon't panic. The tl;dr is that I'm in a short break period to recover, and optimistic about our next steps. There's no game talk in this post either- next time I'll get back to normal progress updates.
So I've been experiencing burn...
2023-09-19 12:02:51 +0000 UTC View PostHeyo! This week, I'd like to share the development roadmap I've been working on. Basically, it's a set of milestones. Each one is a small playable mechanic or sequence that builds upon the engine's current and upcoming features. They'll be in thei...
2023-09-01 18:38:00 +0000 UTC View PostTo start with, I've been focusing entirely on p*netration and aiming mechanics the past couple of weeks. "Aiming" gives the player the ability to easily shift from one target to the other, even when the target is hard to see, or s...
2023-08-21 11:22:27 +0000 UTC View PostHey y'all, right now I'm working on the game and house stuff at the same time. The current focus is still prototyping to find the target "flow" for interacting with the game, p*netration, and aiming toys. I'll show off every piece of visual progre...
2023-08-08 19:32:59 +0000 UTC View PostP*netration prototyping has begun! While a toy is hovering outside the hips area, you can scroll to swap between targets. It's janky at the moment, of course, but the mere fact that it's possible is an enormous accomplishment. This is the path tow...
2023-07-30 17:11:36 +0000 UTC View PostI made incremental progress on the engine's functions! Specifically related to p*netration and player interaction. I feel good about them but deeply insecure about the lack of exciting or interesting progress to talk about.

2023-07-23 13:39:29 +0000 UTC View PostI am sleep deprived for reasons. Please excuse any strangeness. Also, I'm deciding to not worry about the exact day for these posts right now. It's an end-of-the-week-whenever-that-happens-to-be-for-me update post.
Question!
Y'all have thoughts on a gradual shift toward more furry-ish content? It'd be heavily pony-inspired designs, along the lines of Them's Fightin Herds rather than typical anthro furry. Personally, I'd prefer a scenar...
2023-07-08 16:35:52 +0000 UTC View PostLast week I showed a diagram of the various states needed in the game, and this is a continuation of that.
The main thing I've managed to do this week is implement that diagram into actual code. This is a case of needing Real Progr...

I had a simple idea for a dev feature that kept unexpectedly unlocking big new player features. These are all planned features now.
So, I figure I can make character creation easier for mys...
2023-06-16 00:43:20 +0000 UTC View PostI had a rough week! I'm doing better now, but I delayed making a post just for the sake of my mental health, since it's quite draining to do.

2023-06-06 16:10:48 +0000 UTC View PostThe bounding box issue is finished now. It's not just technically solved, but thoroughly unraveled and can't hurt us anymore. Last week I'd finally pierced the core issue. This week, I got it working fully in game.
Many commits, many c...

2023-03-30 18:38:58 +0000 UTC View PostOkay so- yay, I officially finished with the movement code refactoring! Last week, I talked about finally finding the design solution. This week, I finished implementing and bugtesting it. Read these posts uncensored on 2023-03-23 18:34:23 +0000 UTC View Post
We're finally breaking through this movement code nonsense! Holy crap it took a minute. This solution not only fixes the original problem, but also addresses other upcoming features like multiple p*netration.
