I Am Back From Buying Milk

 This week I finished the new scene in TOTDC 2 I mentioned last time (it's a follow-up to a possible "search" scene you can go see when you land at the first spaceport in the game). The officers get a bit more frisky, and there are some minor variations if you have larger breasts and/or nipple piercings (coincidentally, the first search scene is also the only one that doesn't feature any variations for Celeste, since it happens before you have access to "free-roaming" so you can't customize her at that point). It's one of the early events, so there is a bit of a curve to its escalation, but the series of scenes is getting there. XD

I also did some more writing (polishing up some previously written stuff, and some new lines) and I took care of a few bugs, testing and miscellaneous polishing.

Coming up soon on Patreon should be the usual round of: short story update, TOTDC 2 news, Caliross Post-mortem and whatnot. There should also be some updates to the walkthrough for Caliross, but if it happens it will be later on in the month.

As always, thanks for the support, and see you soon! ^_^

July(?) Update

I got a bit delayed, but here we are! Get the public version here or at itch.io. Read the changelog here. I guess I can't do the 1.0forever joke anymore, since we are on 1.0g now...​ Still, this ought to be it for a while (please don't find any new bugs, please don't find any new bugs...)

Quick dev blog update

 Last week I did some writing for TOTDC 2 (a new scene, currently incomplete, plus some flavor text and conversations with the crew). I also did some writing for the short story, and a few other miscellaneous things.

I got sick on Sunday, though, so this week is likely going to be on the slow side. I'll try to wrap up the short story update while I recover, at least, and try to get back on the grind once I am doing better.

Planning

I have been working on TOTDC 2, as you might expect. More work on the maps, converting the buttons to the new idea, tweaking the presentation, fixing bugs (I figured out a somewhat silly crash which could happen when opening the replay gallery in a specific area, of all things) and so on.

For this month, I probably won't work on Caliross's walkthrough, since the various bugfixes ate a lot of time last time. Speaking of Caliross, the patrons-only art preview should drop soon, and I expect to update the game with the new art and a bugfix later this week. I also plan to release another update for the short story this month, to make up for the delayed release.

Other than that, I am just planning to play through TOTDC 2 and remove all the placeholders and/or polish what's there as I find things that aren't up to my standards. I might write some more content, though, just to avoid working only on the boring parts all at once.

I'll probably have more specifics to bring up next week, so stay tuned for more updates on how the development is going! ^_^

A Bit Messy...

 

This last week has been a bit funky. Between the heat, some personal things keeping me busy, and finding more and more issues with the latest update to Caliross (so much so that one more bugfix will be necessary next month, together with the new CGs) I didn't get to do much.

On top of that,I didn't get the inspiration to do writing for the short story either. I'll probably try to publish an update early next month and then a second one, so that we don't lose more ground on that front (it shouldn't be difficult, to be honest, especially if this heat lets up just a little). I did do some work on TOTDC 2, at least, but it was the kind of busywork that isn't very exciting to talk about (like the very interesting task of adding more images to the image gallery -_-).

Anyway, I guess the next thing in line will either be the update to the short story, or the next post about TOTDC 2, whichever is ready first. Anyway, that's all for now, so see you soon with something more tangible! ^_^

Caliross June Bugfixing

The most exciting thing (for me), bugfixes!​ Get the public version here or at itch.io. Read the changelog here. As you can see, the years-long tradition of never finishing Caliross* is still alive and well!

*Shockingly, we are even getting a new CG next month, since a scene was missing it.

Getting Galleries

I was working on TOTDC 2 last week, I have done some tweaks to the UI (experimenting with one of the suggestions from you guys for the maps), updated the Ren'py engine to a more recent version (thankfully nothing broke) and I worked on the galleries (image and replay galleries).

Once again, it's been mostly UI work (adding some categories for the images, changing things so that the UI fits better with the rest of the game, added more images while i was at it, fixed some bugs with the scrolling and a bunch of other minor stuff). I guess I might show it off next time I talk about TOTDC 2, so I can get some opinions (it will also be easier to see what I mean with having it fit the rest).

This week I should work on some Caliross-related stuff, instead (mostly, updating the walkthrough) and getting things ready for the bugfix update. The heat is REALLY starting to get to me, and summer hasn't really arrived yet, but the hot season will come and go this year as well (probably).

Anyway, nothing big on the horizon, but we should be getting more posts this week and the next (both for the post-mortem and updates about TOTDC 2), so there should be something to look forward to.

Until next time! ^_^
