11/11 Status Update

Netoria Tactics is done! The game started as me messing around in SRPG Studio because another developer I knew had just released a game in it, and now we're here. Kind of messed up the schedule a lot though. 

Naked Ambition. Ah yes, that one game where you're not the princess, but her friends and she makes her own decisions and makes the wrong ones so you don't get the sex scenes you want. I need to finish that. The good news is that it's pretty close to being done in some ways, but it's also not close at all in others. There's only two weeks of in-game time left, but that time contains the endgame crisis and the endings. So the first thing I need to do is get the crisis events made, and all the generic, character nonspecific endings done. Then I can start to roll out the character endings in a series of updates. And then Naked Ambition will be done too! 

Besides writing, there's a lot of art that needs to be made for Naked Ambition. I have a new artist, the fourth one who's worked on this game, and things should be fine in that department. I don't have any new art yet, but I do have some renders that will be turned into art. For the unaware, which should be a lot of you because I haven't talked about this kind of stuff in ages, Naked Ambition is made with rotoscoped 3D renders. I do the posing with models first, and then send it off to the artist to use as the base of a piece of pixel art. This saves lots of times in things live revisions and creates a unique style in terms of proportions and such. When I first started making the game I made the pixel art myself too and, uh, let's just say the actual artists do a much better job.

See? Describing what's happening here and having the artist sketch it out would take a lot more time than me just using the models to pose it out myself. That's how Naked Ambition is able to have so much art without me gong bankrupt. (As opposed to At the Mountains of Friendship which has a lot of art by driving me bankrupt).

Okay so Naked Ambition is back underway, what about other stuff? At the Mountains of Friendship is going well. BFF is well into production and looking good. It took me a while to figure out the storyline for here but I think what I ended up with is a lot of fun. 1.2 is also going to have some new items and a new mechanic. 

BFF might look a little concerned about it here, but if you grow tits you might as well use them! Can you believe that there weren't any titjobs in the game before? Not sure how I wrote 50-ish sex scenes without that happening, but it's time to fix that.

In a few days I'll make another bonus scene poll. There's one per update and the artist is about half way done with BFF's scenes so I need to figure out what that bonus scene is going to be. Last time, Cynthia, Elizabeth, and Maya all got lots of votes. Cynthia's out so who will win next? Either way, Elizabeth and Maya will have new scenes in 1.2 because those are the girls BFF pairs up with.

That's all for this week. As always, thank you for your continued support.
