New game - WIP title: pron3

A cursory glance at the post history of this blog should tell you that I haven't been updating the VN very often recently.  Truth be told, I put it on hold a while ago and haven't touched it for months.  I couldn't tell you why exactly, other than to rail off excuses as to why I keep dropping projects that I've become bored or frustrated with.

Some of the VN was good, some of it wasn't, and I'm just too lazy to go back and fix what needs fixing at the moment.  I intend to resume progress at some point in the future, but it won't be for another several months at least.

Why so long?  Because I started work on yet another title, of course, and I don't want to split my efforts just yet.  This new game started 'production' months ago.  The earliest modification date in its 'docs' folder is September 7th, but I'm almost positive it's been longer than that.  It feels like it's been at least twice that long.

I haven't posted anything about it up to this point because, frankly, it's embarrassing to publicly drop so many projects one after the other and I wasn't entirely sure that I'd have the follow-through for this one, either.  At this point, though, I'm done with all of the major code stuff, data structures (or whatever you want to call them) and skeletal asset stand-ins, which means I'm now working on 'the real shit' for the game.  Currently, I'm working on the dialogue.

It's a short game with a simple premise, which means the workload has been scaled back dramatically compared to the other titles.  It may just seem like laziness (and partially it is, I won't lie), but so far I'm thinking that it may prove to be the difference between 'nice idea' and 'finished product' when you're a mostly one-man show like myself.

Nitty-gritty:  C++/SDL2 with pre-rendered graphics.  Since these posts are boring without a picture, here's a near-finished render of one of the locations:


Anyway, I do intend to actually finish this one.  Here's hoping, eh?

WIP 3: Finished and named (Orval Creep n' Hammer)

It took a while, but the game's finally finished. I present to you:   Orval Creep n' Hammer . Alright, so I'm not great with names.  Believe it or not this is the best iteration that myself and three other people could come up with. Features: Stars four women Multiple animated sex scenes Wood paneling There are currently a couple of known issues, both particular to the GNU/Linux version.  Basically, typos that I forgot to correct before uploading the files.  Oops.  😢 It's a simple enough game, give it a download and try it out (approx. 700mb).

WIP 3: Videos progress

Don't worry folks, the game hasn't died just yet.  The characters are as done as they're going to get and we've been busy putting together and rendering videos for the past couple of weeks, in addition to playing a lot of Stardew Valley on my part. I'd estimate that, at least by sheer numbers, we're about 40% finished with the 'raw' renders of the videos.  There are quite a lot more to go and a bit of post-production to do on all of them, but the project's still chugging along. Unfortunately, it's taking a lot longer to get these done than I had anticipated.  I've been kept plenty busy in Blender without having touched the code at all for weeks now.  At this pace, I would be amazed if it wasn't at least mid-February by the time it's all finished. Oh well.  It takes as long as it takes.

New games in the works

First thing's first:  I've gone ahead and canceled any plans on bothering with a port for OCH.  Truthfully, I haven't even really started on it, other than just learning the ropes for Unity and making a couple of other small, unrelated Android 'test' games.  I'm about done with OCH, I think, and would rather just move on to other things. Speaking of, there are a couple of old games I've wanted to make for a while and I figured I might as well dust 'em off and get to work on them. Project A  is going to be a simple pseudo-VN developed with Renpy.  What can I say, it seems like a decent engine for this genre.  I'm not going to bother with details on the backstory, plot, etc. just yet, since basically none of the actual game has been developed and I don't want to overpromise on anything. Project B  is a text game, something that I haven't spent as much time developing backstory for as Project A but will probably be finished long before, si...
