Part 2 Sponsorship

Crowd Funding has now closed at Offbeatr. Thankyou everyone who supported us. It was touch and go for a while, but we made our base target with minutes to spare. :O

Another Status Update

Things are coming along really well. We only have 4 sequences to go and bit of tidy up to do. Well, a lot of tidy up really. I just updated the blog with the new splash screen.

Our scene count is up to 108 images and it looking like we will hit well over 120 before we finish part 1. So much for my initial estimate of 50.

While Malo has been working on some of the most amazing images (that you are going to have to play the game to see), I have been debugging and tweaking the interface.

Here is a sneak peak at where things are at right now:

As you can see, the cards still need a little work, but we are getting there but it is looking really neat against Malo's awesome background.

Status Update

Ok, so its been over a year since work started on the game. The good news is that we are still going. Malo took over the graphics side of things a couple of months ago and the graphics side is finally moving along, but we have a fair way to go.

The game is being broken up into two parts, part one which should be ready early to middle this year and part 2 which I hope to have out probably out later in the early or early in the next. Being graphics intensive, it takes a long time to get it done. We have hit 57 scenes so far and probably have another 20 or so to go just for part 1. That excludes card faces and side images for the text panes.

Oncardam is  understudying Malo on the graphics side and doing some of the simpler scenes. Theromen is taking a look over the story line and trying to work out what the heck we are on about.

We asked the Futanari Palace  mods to close our game development threads because the whole exercise has become much more expensive that we expected. 3D assets are not cheap. We will probably go donateware and maybe also sell the game at some point, and that goes against the FP games dev conditions. Still, the game will be free to FP members until it is done and maybe after that.

When the game is ready for beta, We will post something here and in the Games section at FP, so people can take a look and see what they think. That will probably be a month or two yet.

At the moment, Malo has posted a few of the more recent images they have been working on below. I think you will agree they are excellent.
