Surprise ultra-sneaky sneak peek

I'm not saying that in the midst of writing down all the idea vomit I had yesterday for the non-existent Steampunk project of the future that I ended up spending some time working on a sprite for said non-existent project because he's the only main character that I know for sure will be in that game yet does not have a character design.

But I did, in fact, do that. A lot of the characters have existed for years so they have pretty set-in-stone designs. This guy (currently named Marcus) ...

Patreon Devlog 1/11/2020

Hey Guys! Sorry I missed the devlog yesterday. My only excuse is that I did the monthly Kickstarter one on Friday so I had somehow convinced myself I'd already updated here! LoL.

Summary:

• Finished a chapter and moved on to the next chapter.
• Jack's route is now nearly 66% complete at 72.5k words

17/10 Patreon Devlog

Hey guys! Here is this week's devlog. Back into the writing vortex! LoL. But there were a few other things that happened so...yeah! 

Let us begin. OwO

Summary:

• Lots of corrections to Caissa's route
• Just one new BG (with variations)
• Rewrote about half of Chapter 6
• Started Chapter 7

The Ramble:

This week was focused in both making corrections to Caissa's route and getting feedback as well...

Full CG Sneak Peeks - Yuu, Quill Intro CGs

For our Red and Black tea tiers, I wanted to show off the intro CGs we made for Yuu and Quill.

All the characters now have at least one CG though Lance's CG doesn't appear in the game yet! 

The intro CGs are kind of boring and I know players don't prefer CGs that are close ups like this. However, I liked doing them - and I'm not counting them against the amount of CGs per route. (So if I do 5 CGs per route, these intro CGs are not considered a part of those 5).

So yeah!...

10/10 Patreon Devlog

Summary:

• Completed Chapter 5
• Started Chapter 6

It's another one of those weeks where it feels like I have a lot less to say than usual because I really just spent the week writing.

28/09 Patreon Devlog

 Hey guys! Sorry for the delay this week. As has happened before, I got into a bit of a loop of "I'll do it when I finish this thing." and it was kind of never ending.

So I ended up putting it off until today while working on other dev stuff! But here we are. And we are jumping into the update this week.

Summary:

• Code catch-up
  • (Cleaned up a lot of little things that have been on the to-do list for a while)
• Finished...

Caleb Wallpaper - Redux

Sorry everyone - reposting this because I forgot to set the poll up properly and give it an end date and prevent multiple votes. And patreon refused to let me edit it.

SO. Yes. Caleb won the wallpaper poll so this is now to vote on the tone for the wallpaper. If you have a specific idea, you can post that below. If enough ideas are posted, we can vote on those, too.

Otherwise, I will brainstorm an idea on my own! (I already have a few vague ones).

Anyway, that's all!  2020-09-19 05:37:43 +0000 UTC View Post

Patreon Devlog 09/19

Hey guys! Sorry for posting the devlog a little late. To be honest, I haven't been feeling great the past couple of days. ;A;

That, and I wanted to wait until the character wallpaper poll was complete as well!  Caleb managed to pull ahead at the very end and won. So next I'll do a poll regarding the wallpaper content! 

But for now, on to this week's update!

Summary:

• Changed the choice buttons to show which personality trait (if any) a g...

Goal Wallpaper poll

So GS won out over our other projects. And it is time to vote on characters! 

While we have a lot of possible characters in Gilded Shadows, I'm going to stick with the love interests in the poll. However, you can choose 'other' and post who you'd like to see a wallpaper of. If a posted character wins out over the poll characters, we'll go with them of course.

That is all!

Patreon devlog 11/09

 Hey guys - here's this week's devlog!

I finished up Jack's second...

Patreon Goal

Hey guys! I am starting up a round of polling to narrow down who will be the focus of the exclusive character wallpaper we are doing for our latest Patreon goal!

Since we kind of have a lot of characters to work from we're just going to narrow it down bit by bit. At this point, *any* character is fair game. So if you have someone specific in mind, just, in each poll, vote according to what aligns to the character. 

First off, we're going to narrow it down according to project...

04/09 Patreon Devlog

Hallo! Here is this week's devlog!

Summary:

• Revised Jack's synopsis
• Worked on some UI design elements
• Finished Jack's first chapter

The Ramble:

After last week where it felt like everything under the sun was worked on and happening, this week feels way more low-key. LoL

It was another writing focused week and, so far, I haven't heard from an BG artists so there are no new BGs to show off.

S...

Devlog 28/08

 
Hello guys!

Sorry for the late update this week. I honestly just...forgot. OxO LoL

It was one of those "doesn't-feel-like-Friday" days so it didn't occur to me that I needed to update until late afternoon when I was in the middle of something. So I decided to wait until I was finished with that before I started working on it.

So anyway, let's jump in!

Summary:

• Got Ari and Caissa's script fully imported
• Got one new com...
