October Monthly Summary

Thanksgiving, Halloween and Birthdays have been a big distraction this month. Fret not, we still provide and continue to distribute updates. We always have a strong sense of modding and making our mods more complete then just nudey pictures. This month we went into wanting to change things that aren't necessarily NSFW but more on the lines of technical rom hacking. From title screens, stock icons to a custom Shovel Knight. Weird right?

Well, we still did NSFW stuff too!

Finally!! finishing Amy's battle sprite, along with her clone counter parts has been a big achievement. We will still need to go back and give her some touch ups but at least she's near finalized. Now that's out of the way, we couldn't wait to tell you more...probably weren't expecting that were you all. We've been working on plenty of new ideas with attempted genderbending, maturing Cream and Patron (evilsonicfan) request for nude males. Here are some samples!!

These are just sketches, ideas, and nothing is finalized... but we will eventually come up with a proper design from the prototypes. Through these options we will be expanding our mod significantly due to having so many variations.

Keep a look out next month for our surprise guest!!!

Picking up Gotta Protectors has always been something fun for us. It's simple, messy and great for texture replacements. It's also got tons of replayability, map editor and co-op gameplay. Recently we got around to making more custom characters, such as adding in Shovel Knight and the Princess's father.. the king (currently incomplete). Adding characters has made the game a lot more fun, since we also include custom weapons per new character. We also went about making custom monster girls to replace current monsters. Next update will include a harpy girl and two new bosses, the Angel and Devil Girl over Thunder Dragon.

Side Progress

Working with roms isn't always easy, since some games don't have any information, resources or tools available. We've been working on getting better at rom hacking and learning new methods of being able to retrieve that information we need. As we dip our toes in all sort of GBA games, we will continue to make nsfw content for games that have never been modded before. We currently have been learning about retrieving compressed files, and finding there palettes out manually. Which are two very important aspects to our modding process and will help with every game. We are still looking for a better method of retrieving uncompressed files, and in most cases sprites. Sprites some times come out very neat and organized but the majority of times they come out like alphabet soup.

Here is a sample of retrieving a compressed image, manually finding palettes and replacing it to a game with no documentations.

This will be opening up plenty of doors to new and exciting games. We won't be starting any new projects until we have started completing our opened projects first.

Project Clarifications

I'm sure your wondering why there's a citra exclusive VS just modding the game the way we do others. Well, there's a simple answer, sometimes we just don't know how or the tools available don't exist. The thing is, we would rather mod a game at it's core instead of emulation texture dumps such as (Citra. Dolphin, etc). Due to two reasons; 1. being it works on consoles and 2. we have to play the entire game first to retrieve the textures. This is time consuming and we don't always have time to play entire games from beginning to end.

Well that's it for this month, see you all in the next!
