Blazeymix health concerns *news*

Hiya everyone, BM here, and I wanted to say first of all, I'm sorry for the quiet nature of CoA lately. I've been trying to work hard with things, but to be honest certain health issues have been causing work to be extremely difficult. The stress from this, to make the deadline, have only served to make things worse for me.

Progress has been slower than I hoped on Chapter 2. I did design CGF, and i made new enemies, worked on Bunnie's skills some. but every time I try to work for a ...

NPC Tier and Master Quest Tier + News!

Hiya folks! Just wanted to let ya'll know what's goin on ^^

Blazeymix here! So first I'll start with some updates for ya. On the art side of things, TSP is definitely being worked on! We should see a lot more of Page 7 soon! We want the new page to be inked before the end of the month. Colored too(by me), if Sallyhot finishes it before then! 

On the game front, I've been working on the design for Central Great Forest, as well as more Bunnie stuff. It's all been coming along great! I...

Quick update!

SH: Hiya peeps! :)

Just wanted to give a quick update on some things, since it's been nearly a week now since last we posted. Took a little break most of last week and headed to the lake with some fam. Was good to get some RnR in but back at things this week, so expect some goodness soon! :)

Blazey is workin hard on the next Alpha build of the game, which will feature Bunnie as a new playable character. She's super excited to show off what she's been workin on so we can't wait to have it...

Hey guys! For all your Music tier and up folks, I made a folder ya'll can get all our released themes in :)

Central Great Forest Preview(New & Improved Forest)

Hey guys! Just wanted to show off the new forest design coming soon to Central Great Forest. :) The forest is gonna look like this! Not dull and boring like before with all them static tree copies. This is just a preview of what's to come! Central Great Forest is gonna be huuuuge! So stayed tuned for more screenshots. ;)

Current Build of Chronicles of Acorn

Hiya, just wanted to repost this for ya'll. Apparently the previous link was down for a good several days... Which is odd. Still, here it is! Please give it a try :)

Bunnie Overworld animations

Bunnie is coming soon :) We have the overworld sprite AND the battler sprites for her! x) I've been working on her playstyle, as well as looking for new tilesets for Central Great Forest. Bunnie really came out great here, these were completed by our anon spriter. Don't you love Bunnie's butt? XD

Crabmeat Process

1 more breakdown image for you $10 and up peeps! Cause I don't do enough of these. :p

I think, Crabmeat took a little longer, around 8 hours. Which, is also odd, cause I didn't even do the initial first sketch design. xD Our friend SlashySmiley has been helping us out with character designs for the game, and her Crabmeat on the far left I used as a base for this one, which saved me heaps of time, cause I had no idea how I wanted Crabmeat to look. xD

 She's always been really creativ...

Swatbot Process

Did a few more process images for all you $10 and up tiers. 

This is a breakdown of the Swatbot battler, from sketch to finished colors. took about 6-7 hours total. Surprisingly, the initial designing part in the sketching stage, didn't take that long at all! xD Which is odd actually, cause usually I'm never happy and always tweaking things, but it came together pretty quick! Which was nice. xD I'd say, choosing the colors actually took longer. <.>

Jenny Pinup Clothes HD

HD version for the high tiers. ^_^

HD nude alternate in the link below.

Jenny Pinup Clothes

Finally got them Clothes done. I know, usually I'm doing more taking the clothes off. xD

So now that I'm finally done this pinup, later today we can finally announce the next pinup! Which will be a team Pinup featuring my lines and Blazey's colors this time. 

Also tomorrow, should have a brand new Time Lapse vid of this pinup for you $10 and up supporters. ^_^

Nude version attached with this, just click the link below to get to the naked bits again. xD 

Crabmeat Battler

Colors done for the Crabmeat Battler. ^_^ 

Original Design by SlashySmiley. 

$600 goal reached! WE DID IT! <3

And we couldn't have done it without ya'll of course! Thank you so much for the support, the peeps who've been around for awhile for our comics and artwork(Especially Sallyhot's <.<) and the peeps who are newer who wanna see the game and play it and help it develop!!

It's so awesome to finally be here. 600 is a great monthly income to use for the game, :) We can get a lot done with that! Believe us, we do use it for the game ^^; as Sallyhot mentioned in the previous post featu...

Fiona Battler Concept Sprite

The Sprite Concept for Fiona. :)

Had to add a second holster, since she's a gun toten gunslinger type, needed more guns! xD

So we now have a battle concept for all 4 girls. ^_^ Now to just get these animated and put in the game. xD Which isn't gonna be easy, or cheap, but will be worth it once she's all said and done. We'll be focusing on getting a Sally battle sheet finished first, then most likely Bunnie. 

Recently broke down some math for these suckers, so to give ya some m...

Crabmeat WIP

Made some progress on Crabmeat tonight. Just have some coloring to finish and he's good to go. ^_^

He'll be a lot smaller than the Swatbot there, I just had him there for reference, so to keep certain style choices consistent.

It was a good amount of work and brainstorming, but I think the game is far more balanced and fun now! And better for beginners to RPGs too :)

I tried to address as many complaints/concerns as I could! I think you guys will be happy with the results, I hope so! Let me know what you think of everything. Feedback is very important! <3

Chronicles of Acorn Chapter 1 Alpha Difficulty Patch

Hiya guys! So, we did mention previously we intended the game to be pretty hard. Admittedly, at least with Hard Mode, we went a bit overboard.

I've had reports that the very first boss of the game is too difficult. Well, if you fight it too soon, as in level 1-5 without Sally's full gear found, ya! You're gonna get smoked ^^; 

It's an extremely difficult balancing act believe me. If we make the first boss do less damage, then it wont do ANY to Sally at level 7 with all the gear foun...

Going Forward + July plans

So it seems like the Chapter 1 alpha was a success! and while a lot of folks seem to be having trouble making it far in Hard Mode, it is very possible to make it through to the end. Kinda like Dark Souls. Try try again, eventually you'll find a way to get past it! and since I'm talking about Hard Mode, doya guys like that Hard Mode is a thing? I mean, it originally wasn't! but I decided what the heck, it'd be super fun to make that and it'd extend the content by a full double! Plus new surprises...

Nicole Idle Animation

SH: Woo! Just droppin all kinds of good stuff on ya today! xD

The idle animation for Nicole is now finished, and wow....she's lookin gorgeous I must say! x) 

A really great job done by our longest running sprite artist Shelby. Check him out at dis link and show him some luv sometime! http://retrauxjunk.deviantart.com/

Swatbot Mark 1

SH: So those playing the game now have seen this already if they've made it to the dungeon, but wanted to share the finished image with ya'll anyway, since some might not have seen it yet....and I'm pretty stoked with how it turned out. x)

This is the first of many battlers for the game and this will be the look and style of things we're going with for most of the enemies of the game. Not sure if ya can tell, but I'm a huge fan of Mega Man X, so there's a lot influence from that in these desig...

Chronicles of Acorn Chapter 1 Alpha v0.0.0.1

Release and info!

Hiya guys! So it's finally here, and i'm sorry it took so long to post today but the amount of last minute bugs was staggering. :/ I worked a good....

16 hours prepping for launch and polishing.  I think it'll be worth it, I hope ya'll like it, I really do.

There's a surprise in store for those who complete it, something I worked extra hard on to include to give the content a lot of extra play time.

SO, please enjoy the game, let me know what you think!...

Polishing and finishing touches before Launch!

Hey guys! Just letting ya'll know, I'm still at it(been all night and yesterday), busting my butt to get this out for you today with no issues.

There's a lot I decided to add at the last minute to say an extra thanks to each of you for supporting us and being so patient. 

I do have to sleep before I can post, but I will post as soon as I wake. I'm setting my alarm to wake after a few hours so I can give the alpha to ya in decently early in the day. I'd feel bad if I sent it out late...

Who is your favorite Sonic girl?

We're makin this game for the fans after all! Which Sonic girls are your favorite?  It will definitely help us pick the 5th girl we're gonna add as playable once we finish the full demo we got planned for the public.

Well actually, there's a few ideas we have about adding more girls.

The first is, we want to finish the first major plot which is based around The Rise of the Freedom Fighters against Dr. Robotnik. Meaning we're gonna focus the four main gals of the game for the entirit...

So... about the Early Access build...

I guess it turns out no one has been able to play it yet. and I'm just.... disappointed in myself for not making sure everything was working properly before sending it out. First forgetting to give ya'll the password, and now for some reason the game gives out errors when you try to extract it.

I'm simply.. extremely sorry. :( I wanted to give ya'll the game a bit early, but I messed it up! I feel so awful about it. to say the least, the release tomorrow is gonna be workin pe...

Chronicles of Acorn Alpha Demo Password

When you download the rar, and try to extract, enter coapatreon! :)

I'll keep it the same when I update the game for Friday's release!

I'm sorry to Sonic and up tiers for forgetting to include the password in the release post! Also I apologize for how rough the game is. I hope it doesn't give anyone a bad first impression. >.< That's the thing about alpha versions, they're buggy and sometimes broken! but I hope you guys still have fun. The release on June 30th is gonna be a ton mor...

CoA Swatbot Concept WIP

Taking a break from coloring tonight to get back to what I'm good at, sketching. ^_^ Workin on some bad guy concept designs for battlers in our Chronicles of Acorn game. Hopin to have a few ready for when we do our Alpha test release end of this week, figured I'd share a WIP with ya of what I got so far. :)

We're planning on doin a mash up of all sorts of bad guyz from both the Sonic comic and games, so expect to run into a lot of familiar bots to battle when exploring the game. ^_^
