Hey, thank you so much for your kind words, they mean a lot to me. The game is still in a very early stage, as are my skills, so a lot of things are poorly done, and there’s still a lot missing.

But as you’ve noticed yourself, things are slowly getting better, like with the erotic scenes between Vanya and Eli. I’m also glad that people are already liking the character ideas, especially since I know which ones will be added to the game in the future and what I’m working on, which makes me even more excited to see the fans’ reactions. Surprise will definitely be one of them.

And of course, I agree 100% that you can never have enough monster girls, that’s exactly why this project was created. Even though it has its flaws, this genre deserves every bit of effort put into it.

I hope you'll continue to follow the progress of this game

You're welcome! I saw your other post about your future plans/upcoming additions for the game and it sounds really ambitious!

After playing the game and looking at the banner again I was wondering if I somehow missed the red demon lady? Or maybe she isn’t in the game yet?

It was included in the test update, so it's not in the game yet, but it will be added fairly soon along with a new environment and a storyline set outside the village.

I see. It's a cool design. How do you create your characters by the way? New environment you say? That's níce!

If you're asking about the technical side of things, I mainly use Blender, I do some texturing there too, and Clip Studio Paint for the rest of the textures. Those are my main programs and not the only one.

I don't know how to draw, so I almost never have concept art. I just model from my head, which doesn't always work out, so most of the time it's what I call “3D sketching'"until something works out.
I usually have a concept for the character’s personality, storyline, etc., and I build the character based on that. A lot of my characters don’t turn out well and don’t make it into the game, but there are also a few that are pretty close to making it into the game.

If you're asking about the concept and idea behind the character itself,I’ve never actually been short on ideas, I don't really have any specific inspirations. Sometimes throughout the day, I'll come up with a few new characters in my head, complete with a full backstory, personality, and so on, and I try to bring to life the ones that really captivate me.

As I mentioned in a recent reply here, I have a few hundred of these fully developed characters (talking about the plot, appearance, personality, etc.), and I'm sure they'd each attract their own fans, so there's plenty to choose from.

The elf wasn’t planned for the game this early on, but since I really liked her story, its various endings, and other elements which, admittedly, aren’t in the game yet but will be, Eli just kind of snuck her way into the mix of other characters. So with me, you can’t be sure what will make it into the game or in what order, the only thing you can be sure of is that I’m working on the game.

The question was universal, thank you for the thoughtful and detailed answer. :) I heard a lot of good things from Blender and a lot of my favourite creators use it. Might have to learn it for my own game in the future as well.

I think that's pretty normal and part of the process of designing a character, not every idea works and they need refinement.

That's a lot of characters you have in mind, will this be your life's work? Haha

Which is interesting since the elf is the most conventional fantasy race in the game so far, you can only escalate things from there I guess. :D
