Hi everyone!
For the best viewing experience, open the "companion post" containing all the fun stuff the party poopers don't want you to look at. ^w~ ( https://www.patreon.com/posts/137032447 )
I don’t want to add to the doom and gloom, so I will not lose many words on the matter in this post. But suffice it to say, that it was very difficult to push away the fear and not let it get us down. Some days it was really difficult to get up and drag my big heavy tail over to the drawing tablet to push pixels, wondering if it will be all for naught anyway with platforms delisting games and social media blocking adult art. What news will drop tomorrow? Should I ignore it or should I look? What is more responsible? Looking at the news and keeping an eye on the changing landscape but going through a phase of being scared, being disoriented, trying to figure out what it means, sync’ing with other devs and artists, making contingency plans, calming down, shaking it off, trying to focus on art and code.
It is very difficult to be creative under these circumstances. Art requires a certain kind of focus and energy that is very weak against panic and pressure.
It becomes even more difficult if it’s a constant onslaught. Even if nothing happens for a day, you’re so on high alert that even expecting it, or getting ready for the next blow, is basically the same to the brain as it actually happening.
Developing coping mechanisms and ways to insulate yourself from it, managing the in-flow of news, is a difficult balancing act.
As any kind of creative person, protecting your mood and motivation is often the hardest part of the job.
So, seeing everyone fight against these bullies has been a huuuge source of motivation! Let’s keep fighting, keep calling, keep spamming, keep nagging and yelling and let’s keep making even hornier and kinkier art to give ‘em the middle finger!
I also want to thank everyone who has been supporting us and showing our game to their friends! More than ever, word of mouth is super important for us! Talk about your favorite artists and show off their work to others! ^w^
I am happy to report that despite the difficulties I managed to pomf my butt down in front of my tablet and keep drawing panty-dropping pixels for you all! ^w~
The Kaha animation is pretty straight forward for me, and I’m looking forward to adding more spice to the character and making your encounters with her more memorable!
The tiger animation on the other hand needed more planning and more trial and error to give it the feel that I had in mind. Their interaction depends a lot on Kincaids momentum when she drops forward and I want to make sure that I get it just right! ^w^
And another goodie
Build Progress Update
We’re wrapping up work on the next build! Animations are coming together and levels are being cranked out.
We also updated the input system again. We kept getting reports from people that had issues with certain controllers and the game not responding to inputs. I hope with this the issues will disappear!
We’re also optimistic that updating the system will also allow us to make the rebinding of keys more stable in a future update - another function that some players reported having issues with.
Until then you can play our most recent build here: Kincaid 2025.05
Thank you!
Until next time! Cookie & Bunny
