Summer is here! ♥ ^o^ Where I live anyway. ;P I'm looking forward to swimming, bbqs, baseball games, fireworks, and a vacay to the beach. Not to mention the Switch 2 which is releasing very soon ~ I already have some games in mind that I want to play and I'm counting down the days! And of course it wouldn't be summer without Art Fight and visual novels! I've still been keeping busy and did take a little break after Dragon Roommates, but I did get some progress done last month. Following through with my plan I've been shifting my gaze towards my newest and first commercial VN project, Monster Boyfriend, specifically getting the demo polished and ready for Oct, so today I'll mostly be talking about that. :3
I've made my first ever trailer! It's 18+ (doesn't show anything, but naughty things are implied!), so you'll have to be signed into YouTube in order to watch it ~
It's not perfect (and only took me 2 days^^; ), but I'm still proud nevertheless. It was fun! I doubt this will be the last trailer I make in the future, so hopefully I'll improve with time and experience. :3
I also worked on adding a couple new features that'll be available in Monster Boyfriend's demo release: An achievement system and a music room. The code for both was created by the amazing Feniks. The demo will feature 20 achievements for you to unlock (some are more easier than others and may require multiple playthroughs.) Meanwhile, in the Music Room, you'll find 19 tracks to unlock and enjoy music featuring the talents of Manila and This is Beat Kitchen (all are free to use assets). Their music is so amazing! Even when I'm play testing, I always leave the audio on, because I can never get enough. ♥
I'd also like to try and see if I can add some sort of image gallery like the one I did for HSR Otome, but I can't guarantee it as I haven't tried with Monster Boyfriend's unique layered image CGs that show a customized MC. Hopefully—worst case scenario—I'll be able to add the CGs with the MC's default appearance. I still think that would be better than having no image gallery at all, but we'll see what I can do.
Speaking of Monster Boyfriend, I also made sure to add the main cast to my list of Characters on Art Fight~ Hopefully I'll get some attacks of them or of my other vn characters I have posted on there, so I can share fanart I receive in August's dev log. ♥ I love Art Fight so much! I'm super excited for this year! I can't wait to see what the teams are going to be. If you're participating, make sure to follow me on Art Fight, so I can follow you back! I always revenge and prioritize revenges, too! ;)
Time for some shameless self promotion. ;P
Be sure to follow me on Patreon to stay updated on all my visual novels and other creative projects!
In addition to sharing Monster Boyfriend updates, I've also been posting content for a brand new visual novel in my "Unannounced Projects" series on Patreon. Hopefully next year I'll have enough content to feel confident in officially announcing this project publicly, but in the meantime, the only place you can find out more information about this upcoming visual novel is by becoming a member on Patreon. Like all projects mentioned in this series, it's very much still in the "early development" stages, as I'm not ready to commit to working on it just yet, but ideas are definitely in the works. New projects are always so exciting ~ I know there's a lot of work ahead before this becomes something substantial, but I do love this stage of development! ♥
That's all the news I have to share for this month! Thank you so much for continuing to play and enjoy my games ♥
Let's all work hard this month to keep working towards our goals! ^o^
