FGAME, announcements and updates

Hey all.  Been a while.

As is my usual flaky nature, I've pretty much abandoned the two games mentioned in the post immediately previous to this one.  That's not to say that I won't ever pick them back up; in fact, I fully intend to develop both of them at some point.  However, for the immediate future, I don't see them getting a lot of my attention.

That's a bit of a problem I have, I'll admit.  It's gotten to the point where I don't even want to bother announcing stuff I'm working on unless I've made substantial progress on development.  It's probably for the best that way, but will result in the occasional dry spell unfortunately.

On the plus side, I have actually started up on a new project and made a decent amount of progress on it already.  The basic premise is that it's a game about a dude who has to help (and fuck, of course) a small group of fairies, along with probably a few other women as well.

I've already developed all of the characters, the basic story, a majority of the stand-in art and a small amount of the actual script.  I haven't even started on the final art (static or animated), and it'll be a while before I do, not to mention any of the audio assets.  Those might be skipped entirely, depending on how much time I have to polish this thing.

It'll be another Ren'Py game, as is basically standard for this niche I find myself enjoying so much recently, released for every platform I can easily support from my host machine (Linux and Windows at the least).

I may also be giving the Patreon thing a go in the future, depending on how much people seem to enjoy my work.  I won't be bothering with it just yet, since there's nothing of substance to support just yet, but my living situation is likely to change for the worse in the next couple of years if I don't start making more money.  So... despite Patreon's many and glaring faults, I may have to try it out relatively soon.

Oh well.  Most of that will be a post for another day.  For now, I'm going to continue working on my fairy fucker game, whose working title is presently FGAME.

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, sex system update

The last week has been fruitful, at least in regards to the quality of the sex scenes in-game. The previous system consisted of a bunch of still frames (jpg) packed into a binary file and forming a very crude type of animation.  It worked, but it was slow to load and a brute-force effort at best. I've since updated the system a bit, though, finally figuring out how to successfully play video files with SDL2 in a useful way.  After that, it was a matter of tweaking the structure of the bin files that contain the animations (cleverly named 'VID' files, go figure) and re-writing the tools and scripts used to create said files. I also tweaked the in-engine system for handling the scenes to make that a bit less crap, as well. The results are dramatically better and far less resource-intensive (less VRAM used, less disk space for the VID files, etc.).  What this means to the end user is that the game will be slightly less obviously shitty, so that's nice. How the in

FGAME, beginnings

FGAME (working title still) is going to be a relatively short game, with only five or six concise 'acts' that take place throughout.  As such, I didn't expect to spend very much time building the skeletal structure of the code, or the plot, or the standin character art. As usual, I've underestimated the amount of work that actually goes into creating a fucking game, even a fantastically short one.  You'd think I'd know better, but no, it's a lesson that just doesn't seem to stick. Still, some honest-to-god progress has been made.  I've learned some of the renpy ropes and have already built the majority of the locations that can be accessed, and the player's means of accessing them.  None of the final art of course, which is going to take the longest by far, but... baby steps. I've also finalized the plot structure, events, etc. and started in on the script in a proper fashion.  The first 'act' is done, though I haven't
