Here I will talk about the development and answer possible questions and will refer to this text until the development status changes.
So what happen?
I was laid off at work
i am not complain(shit happens) but what this mean for game development?
Here is a graph for clarity
Yes, unfortunately, development will slow down by half, which is why I’m writing this post, then I’ll answer possible questions and share some good news.
Will you continue to develop games?
-!!!!Yes, development will continue no matter what!!!
What will happen to the weekly art?
-The weekly art will be published as usual, because on Saturday, work ends an hour early so the weekly art will remain, but may be moved to another day.
Why are you writing this?
-I know most of those who have subscribed are simply waiting for a patch for the game and will hardly pay attention to this post or look at the weekly art, I understand all this, this is normal, I am writing for those couple of people who come in once a month with the words in their heads “is the patch out? " “no, why is it taking so long? Then I’ll see what the author has, maybe he abandoned the project” and he’ll find this post and go on with his business and check the game again a month later.
Why did portal development shift to rifts?
-Bonnie made the drawings for the portals. Now, unfortunately, she doesn’t have time to work on the drawings. Yes, right now I’m working on the entire game alone, pixel art, main art, text, code, posts and weekly art are all on me.
Initially, rifts were supposed to be just small events for the holidays, but now they will be the main source of content and will not be tied only to the holiday.
Why don't you draw pictures for the portals?
-My drawings are lower in quality and detail than Bonnie's.
For a porn game there are only two important aspects: the simplicity of the game and the sex scenes. And it would be wrong to spoil what was planned for portals with low-quality drawings.
Why not find another artist or increase the number of developers?
-It takes time or money to search, we don’t have either to hire people or look for free ones, and even if we miraculously find free developers, we are unlikely to be able to communicate normally, because I’m online now only 1 day a week instead of two as it was before, I don’t have internet on my phone (and I don’t have money for it) so I could somehow contact a new employee to answer a question or, for example, find out how things are going.
Why not stop development?
-If you choose to do something slowly or not do it at all, I would prefer to do it slowly.
Before development, I played a lot of games, but for a year now, every weekend and free time I made a game, wrote, understood the code, drew art, redid it and I didn’t get tired, I’m still tired every weekend, but not from development , I love this shit, despite all the difficulties. And Bonnie shares my love for development, she loves to draw, for games and not only.
What's the good news?
-Here I will share a little good news, further goals, answer minor questions and open a new offer.
I have no savings, so I can’t sit and look for another job, but this new job has 1 small one + I can use 2 weeks as unpaid leave. I can use this at any time if someone replaces me during this time.
Therefore, I decided to open orders for the portal. Yes, if someone orders a portal, I will use two weeks of time and make a full-fledged portal with themes, quests, characters, a mini story, etc.
The cost of the portal is $150
-from 7 ~ 11 characters (depending on the complexity of the idea, less or more possible)
-any theme (except guro and loli)
-the portal may not be erotic if there is such a desire
-You can add any edits to the text/tasks (if you want, you can order your waifu or crush in 7 different variations with different characters and insert any words into her mouth)
-You can order a portal at your own risk, for example (a portal full of girls and the main character is a femboy) and then get what I come up with for this variation.
-Personal version of the game, until the end of its release, in simple words, you will receive updates for your personal version of the game until the release (your portal will not change, but your personal version will receive the rest of the content until the game’s release)
-A statue in the hall of fame for everyone who supported the game or ordered a portal (optional)
If you have any questions, please contact me in PM or on Discord.
And some information
-we will try to release on Steam
-To clarify, all the portals for the main game are plot-ready, everything is written out, there will be 7 portals with different themes, there will be a plot with several endings, it’s all ready, but there are no drawings, pixel art and dialogues, the code for several mechanics of future portals has been lying around for almost half a year without action.
-I understand that almost no one will read to this point and the chances that someone will support with money or order a portal are close to zero, but not zero.
-All the money will go to Bonnie because this way she can draw for the game again and I can switch to writing dialogues and coding. Writing dialogues and code for the game does not require much time, because few people read them, and the code on the RPG maker is easy (it’s even not code but just tools), so all the money will go to improving the drawing and speeding up production.
-What will happen to the jgirl trainer and other promised things.
Everything will be done, J Girl trainer, development will also slow down but it’s not standing still, just news on the game for now that there is no
-The Halloween Rift rework will be released soon, stay tuned
- if you want to support the development here are the links:
If you want to support the development in a different way or have any questions, write in a pm, discord:
DISCORD
or gmail
Your likes and reposts of the game are always welcome.
-Feel free to order, portal, because... the situation will not change soon, the proposal will be valid until a more convenient way to combine development and life arrives or until the game is released.
Thank you for your attention
