Development Poll #1

Hey there. Including a short update in this too. As we all know it's the start of the holiday season this month so I've been busier than usual and haven't been able to do much yet, but I wanted to gauge some opinions on what people think should be...

CrescentSoul MainBuild 0.2.2

Sorry this one took so long. Here's the MainBuild.

Compared to the previous main build there's a few new things here but it's mostly in regards to the back-end systems. This includes a save system, an inventory system, keys that open doors, ...

CrescentSoul PublicBuild 0.2.1

Sorry this one took so long. Here's the PublicBuild. The only difference between this and the MainBuild is that the MainBuild has the new large-type enemy, the Dragon Guard. Otherwise it's the same.

Compared to the previous public build ther...

General Update #21

Hello again.

This month has mostly been a challenge in getting all the new changes I want with the latest enemy, the Dragon Guard, done. There's been a lot of trial and error with her, a lot of treading new ground, on top of just the extra a...

Prisoner

Let's start the month off with the final preview of the new enemies.

Once more I'm using the player character to show the scale here since it can be hard to see when it's just the enemy itself. The prisoner's arms are bound behind her back w...

General Update #20

Hey there, time for another General Update.

So as mentioned last time I had a few more foundational systems to finish off, that being inventory/key/door system which now works as intended, opening up the path for progression through certain ...

Purple Slime Girl

Here's the second slime girl you'll encounter in the dungeon. She resembles a typical human less than the blue variant and could perhaps be considered to be more 'feral' in that regard. But since this is a slime girl I decided to keep trying to ex...

Blue Slime Girl

There are two slime girls in the dungeon, the Blue is the first that'll be encountered. The slime girls are classed as medium sized enemies so they are larger than the Player. I'm currently undecided wherever slime girls will be active moving enem...

Greater Succubus B

And of course here's the B variant of the Greater Succubus. She has much larger breasts than the A variant and will mainly use those against the Player in scenes. She's a little more active than the B variant too, so her attacks will have more eff...

Greater Succubus A

One of the two Greater Succubi in the dungeon. I wanted to try some different idle poses with this one and in general I had some difficulty with it. Mainly I'm struggling with animating the tail and the wings as you can probably tell. I'll keep pr...

Lesser Succubus

Would've had more previews sooner but I unfortunately got hit with an illness this month that slowed my work a bit. I'm still recovering but getting back to work regardless.

The Lesser Succubus is currently the smallest succubus, putting her...

Dragon Guard

The Dragon Guard is currently, as of its creation, the largest enemy available in the game. The Dragon Guard is proficient with its chosen weapon, the halberd, and will utilize a variety of attacks to prevent the player from easily passing by it. ...

Dungeon Warden

It's time to start uploading some new enemies again. This is the Dungeon Warden. She patrols the dungeon and keeps the prisoners in line. She wields a baton and swings it in swift arcing swings. She is also one of the medium-sized enemies, meaning...

General Update #19

So this month ended up being all about systems and design, so lets try and get through it all.

The Dungeon: All shadow boundaries have been set including an elevator system that includes gates you can open to call it to whatever floor you'r...

Dungeon Area Preview

Hey there, just a bit of a mid-month update to show what some of the new dungeon area looks like. As you can see it's very green, that's mostly due to the lighting. The dungeon has tighter spaces than previous areas of the castle, and also more br...

General Update #18

Time for another General Update.

So things are going mostly as planned. I got hit with Covid during the month so that robbed about a week's worth of time rom me which was pretty annoying. The new dungeon area is just about entirely done, it ...

General Update #17

Another month, another General Update.

So first off I just wanted to note the increase in Patrons and firstly thank everyone for their support, as always I really appreciate the fact that interest is gathering for this project (albeit it's s...

CrescentSoul MainBuild 0.2

Here's the next MainBuild. The player starts off in the hub area, from which the lower left exit leads to the entrance hall filled with zombiegirls, and the upper left exit leads to the servant quarters filled with maid-types. Currently the newest...

CrescentSoul PublicBuild 0.1.5

Here's the next PublicBuild. The player starts off in the hub area, from which the lower left exit leads to the entrance hall filled with zombiegirls, and the upper left exit leads to the servant quarters filled with maid-types. Currently the newe...

Blue-Haired Maid

And here's the final melee-focused maid, the Blue-Haired maid. She's in the current Development Build but I wanted to post her in line with the other maids.

The Blue-Haired maid is a stationary enemy that'll wait for the Player to approach w...

Blonde-Haired Maid

The Blonde Maid carries around a broomstick at all times but she mainly uses it as her weapon of choice. While not as damaging as the green-haired maid's steel chair attack, the broomstick has just as large of a swinging arc. It is recommended to ...

Green-Haired Maid

Next up for a preview is the Green-Haired Maid. Out of the maids she has the most brutal attack with her steel chair. When she sees the Player she will approach and prepare to swing. Her sprite will flash red briefly to warn the player of her inco...

Red-Haired Maid

One of the new maid enemies for the Servant Quarter. The Red-Haired maid is the least aggressive of the maid enemy group, but unintentionally continues to harm the Player like all the others. When she spots the player she will approach and try to ...

General Update #16

Time for another monthly update as I briefly try to recollect what was said in the last one...

So first off the blue-haired maid enemy is completely done now. She has all her animations and H-scenes and interacts (mostly) as expected with t...

Martial Maid H Anim 1

Been a little while since I posted an animation huh? Here's a preview of who I'm calling the Martial Maid's first H scene. I was intending to have her more ride and rub against the player character but she ended up more... bouncing on her face ins...

General Update #15

Hello again, time for another monthly update!

So this month had a couple of bumps IRL but otherwise things are fine. I've been mostly working on the parry system and the new enemy. The parry system is kind of working now but has some quirks ...

General Update #14

So as was mentioned in General Update #13 some circumstances changed for me that allowed me to spend more time working on the game. As a result this month felt very long for me, which was good, because I was able to get a lot done. I've been looki...

Concerning demo builds.

This won't be a full update listing everything I've gotten done so far this month (it's a lot) but I did want to just drop a small announcement regarding the progress towards the first demo.

I've been very productive. I could release the de...

General Update #13

Hello again. There's some good news this month regarding not only the progress of the game but my situation working on it, so let's get right into it.

I can't recall if I've ever really posted a video of the gameplay as it is right now, but ...
