Debugging phase started o/

Major bugs are out but I still have to code minor things like music and scene transitions. Should take approx 1 week.

After that I'll send the build to my betatesters and then we're kind of done. :)

Just finished the last line of code of chap.2 ! o/
If I have time this week, I'll draw one last diary page (I have only draw one so far, as I was focusing on the main quest) and then we enter debugging phase.

Hello !
First, thank you, that's an honor !
Second, I just finished drawing the last card. I know I said that already, but I kept adding more. Ran into a big problem as I changed a lot of rules, to make them a bit more complicated, so it took a while to code and debug. But it's done now !

Now here's what I'm working on : I need 2 CGs to finish a quest, and 2 diary pages. After those 4 pics, I'll be done, it will enter debug phase. Trying my best to work on it as quickly as possible. o/

Hello everyone! Here are some updates:

• All the new cards have been drawn (resulting in a total of 26 cards, including their upgraded lewd versions). I am currently working on the diary pages.
• I need to draw 2 CGs for a sidequest, and I am actively working on that.
• Subsequently, I will send the game to my beta testers, and upon their feedback, we'll release this chapter. o/

I am in the process of revamping the card game, adjusting the values and locations of the cards. This may require you to replay chapter 1. However, I am also developing a shortcut that will allow you to jump directly to chapter 2. More information about that will be provided later.

Following the release, but before I begin working on Typhon's chapter, I will focus on the missing sidequests and the implementation of a gallery. Additionally, I'll create a shortcut to play the card game directly from the main menu.

Within these sidequests, a new collectible will be introduced: the crystal balls. These will enable you to explore the pasts of selected side characters, accompanied by additional lewd CGs. It's a way to get to know these characters better. I already have stories planned for some dudes, but I might post a poll on Twitter/BlueSky to let you choose which dudes you want to see next.

Once again, thank you for your patience! o/

Send me a DM on twitter, I'll give you a code. I may have some available. :)

Hey everyone ! Quick news : The main story is DONE !! 🎉🎉🎉
Next step : drawing the new cards (most are done already) and diary pages. Then maybe some sidequests.
There will be 3 big sidequests in chap 2 ("big" in the sense "short but with some big rewards/lots of new lewd CGs). They may take some time to draw/code so I'm thinking about either finishing them or releasing the main story soonish, then the sidequests as another update. That will depends on how fast I can draw I guess. Will keep you updated !

Also, started to share more news/pics on my bluesky, in case some of you are interested : https://bsky.app/profile/gigan.bsky.social

All the CGs for the ending of chap.2 are done ! o/
This week, I'll be focusing on
- Writing the script of the ending
- Coding it
- Drawing the last background image
- Drawing the sprite of a new character.

Things are moving ! o/

Thx for your comment, I'll think about it ! o/

I'll pass on one of the sidequests and it will be fully coded for the next next update, as it recquires a lot of new CGs. I'd like to have the new cards and diary pages implemented anyway. We'll see ! o/

The Trial of the Forest will be different for each character so no, it won't be the same choices for the 3 routes. Basically, it just gives you options on how to pass the trial. The end result will be the same.

Some update !
- I started posting WIPs on my bluesky page so go check it out if you want a sneakpeek

Will post more there asap

- What is taking so long is I had the wonderful idea (/s) of turning the ending scene into a branched route. Basically, you'll have the choice between 2 ways of completing the challenge of the forest. That's not a problem code-wise but that means I have now 14 CGs + 4 new character sprites to draw. Right now, the sprites are done and I'm halfway done with the CGs (shading done, still have some details and the backgrounds to do. Will try my best to finish it for next week.)

- When the CGs are done, I'll have to code them in the game, which will be kinda quick.

- Then we'll go to the mysterious part : the side quests. Can't say how much time it will take to draw/code them but of big part of them are already done. I'm considering sending a build without the side stuff but that means you won't have the more funny shit so... we'll see !

Will try my best to update y'all every 2 weeks. That will force me to work lol
Meanwhile, happy holidays and thx for your patience ! <3

Sorry, haven't recieved a notification for your reply. D:
👇👇👇 More info below 👇👇👇

Ah yes, you're blocked with the Lube Fairy as a MC, sorry !
If that helps, you can choose among 3 dudes to be your companion for the rest of the game (even if the game ends as soon as you have made your choice for the first chapter. You will explore the forest with the companion you have chosen)

You need an invite code.
I have one. If you're on twitter, DM-me there. I'll send you a bluesky invite. :) (https://twitter.com/UramakiGigan)

Hello ! Sure !

I took a two-week break from working on it because my daytime job required all my attention, and I was also preparing for an upcoming convention. I'll resume work on the game at the beginning of next week.

I mentioned that Chapter 2 can be separated into three large sections. Two of them are already done and tested. The last section, "The Trial of the Forest," has its background and sprites completed. All that's left are the CGs and the code. I believe I can finish this part in two weeks.

After that, it gets a bit more complicated and depends on how many sidequests I want to include in Chapter 2. Here are some updates:

• The new cards are almost finished and won't require much more work.
• The new diary pages haven't been drawn yet, but creating the CGs won't take much time.
• I have a rather significant sidequest planned, which will grant access to a new type of cards. I'll try to start working on it as soon as possible.
• A new shop will be available, selling new cards and CGs. It shouldn't require too much work.

I prefer not to provide a specific deadline, as I've had trouble respecting them in the past. However, starting next week, I'll have fewer commitments at my daytime job and will be able to take some days off. I'll do my best to submit a new build as soon as possible. I apologize for the wait.

S'up everybody ! Figured I'd give some details about the status of the game. :)
Chapter 2 is made of 3 big parts + a lot of short sidequests. Right now, 1 part is completely done, and I'm trying my best to finish the second one (the biggest of the 3) tomorrow. Right after that, I attack the 3rd part, then the sidequests.

That means I have about 10 CGs to draw. Gotta make that chapter extra smutty to make it worth the wait ! o/
For the sidequests, most won't give CGs but cards or journals pages. Most cards are already drawn. Still have to work on the journal pages but it won't take long.

I've received all the new tracks from Vel and have coded some mini-games without any bugs reported by my beta testers. Crossing my fingers.

All of that to say there is still a lot of work to do, so that late september deadline may be a little short. That said, I'm supposed to present that chapter 2 for a convention in Paris by the beginning of november, so it's my hard deadline. You'll get the chapter 2 before it, but just so you know I'm working on it and won't make you wait another year lol

As stated before, the next updates after this one will be Typhon and Lee's routes. It will reuse a lot of material from the chapter I'm working on so you won't have to wait that long.

Some sreenshots ! Will post more in about 2 weeks. Thx for your patience. ;)

I made a Bluesky account. @gigan.bsky.social
Already posted some previews of chapter 2 in it, if you're curious. :)

Heyy thank you so much 8__8 I'm not the brightest but I can tell a joke, kinda. Sometimes. Glad you like the Lube Fairy ! I'll extend her role a lil bit in the next chapters but she'll make herself invisible while the dudes do their thing !

A gallery is planned for the cards and general CGs. It's already coded actually. Problem is, I'm not the best at planning the number of CGs I'd like to draw (a blowjob scene in chapter 2 was supposed to be 1 CG and I'm drawing its 8th one...) so I'll make the gallery available when I'll have a clearer vision of what's in it. I fear it will make the whole game a bit buggy, if I keep adding stuff in it.

Hey there ! It will be end of the month. I'm taking some vacay from work in september and I'll use it to do bug fixing. :)
Just so you know where I am, I just have 2 big scenes to code and its CGs to draw. After that I'll put the sidequests in and then we're good ! A big chunk of the game has already been tested by 2 friends.

2 pics of the next chapter ! Prepare for a lot of shirtless hunks :P

Hey there ! Aiming for a release in september. I just finished a major part of this chapter, but I still have a good chunk to code and about 10 CGs to draw. Progress has been quick these past weeks, so I cross my fingers ! :)

Hard to say, but I'm aiming for the end of june. July at worst.
Chapter 2 will be 6 different zones/quests and right now I have 2 done. Most of the sprites/script is finished, the only big things left are the CGs and the coding. Talking only about Ruben's route of course.

Once Ruben's route is done, Lee's and Typhon's will be quicker, as the art/code for the different locations will be finished.

Keeping you all updated as fast as I can ! o/

2 screens from chapter 2 ! Didnt mean to take 2 separate screens where Ruben doesnt emote lol (also bg from 2nd screen was reworked, don't worry !)

Thx for your kind words ! o/ Trying my best to made chapter 2 extra smutty <3

Thank you so much ! <3 Buffalo will have a bigger role and some CGs in chap 2. Working on it ! o/

I'd like to finish the game for PC first so it will take a while before I can make anything for Android. :/
Great avatar btw <3

Alright peeps, a small good news : we're back at coding chapter 2 ! o/ Hope I'll be able to share news soon. Thx for your patience. <3

Hey everybody ! Figured I'd give a short update.
Had a rough 2022 and started to take anti-depressants in november, and it's killing my creative drive. For those asking if I gave up on the game, not at all ! A lot of assets are done for chapter 2 and the story is mostly done. Just have to code all of this as soon as I feel better. Thx for your patience ! :)

Hey there ! Game is not available for Android yet. I'll work on a build as soon as the game is fully released. 
Very sorry about it, but from what I saw it would recquire quite a lot of extra codding and adjustments. It was requested a lot so keeping it in mind. o/

Hey thx ! Right now, priority is to get the chapter 2 finished. There's a lot of content and it will take a while !
I'm a big newbie with codding and renp'y so small changes like the ones you suggest will take a while for me to learn. That said, I'll look into it ! Just gotta watch a lot of tutos first lol
Thx a lot for your suggestion ! o/

Thank you so much ! 8__8 Chap2 will recquire as much work ! I hope you'll like the new guys ! o/

Thx dude ! Chapter 2 recquires a fuckton of work but I'm on it ! Hopefully I can release a build quickly. Hope you'll like the new dudes o/

Admiral is the elder of the mermen brothers. Once an authority figure, he now locks himself in his room, surrounded by books and various treasures scavenged from poor, unlucky adventurers traversing the forest.

Meet Bison, a new addition to Lubrificanus' cast ! You'll encounter Bison in the Forest of the One Peril in Chapter 2 (Ruben's route). Boyo will need Ruben's help and it will be up to you to decide the fate of this poor fellow.
He looks so innocent with his lil shark teeth. <3

Hey there ! 
Had no idea what Joiplay was until 30 seconds ago but I still can answer some questions !
Yep, this is a Ren'py game. An Android build is not (yet ?) available tho, as it will recquire lot of extra work.
I got a lot of requests for an android build, so I promise to look into it as soon as I can. Finishing chapter 2 still is my priority anyway. :)

People, Lubrificanus has been downloaded 2000+ times ! Can't tell you how happy I am ! Thank you so, so much for your support ! o/
Still working on the visuals of chapter 2 and I hope the new guys you'll encounter in the forest won't disappoint ! Hopefully I can show some preview in 1 week or 2 !

You're awesome ! <3
(Also,  uncropped version of the pic above right here !)

Aaaah thank you so much ! I'll share more about chapter 2 very soon, I hope you'll like it ! o/
Everybody loves Béatrice, which is unexpected af ! 8D Now I have to find a way to bring her back xD

Thank you so much ! 8__8 I'll focus a bit more on the story/lore in the next chapter. It will stay funny/horny though, don't worry ! 8D
I use a translator too most of the time, don't worry lol

Thx !! <3

Thank you ! <3 Trying my best to finish all the visuals (character sprites and backgrounds) for next week or the week after so I can show a preview of the dudes you'll encounter in the forest very soon ! o/
