Jessika's Diary #13 - December Development Update
🕑 Added 2019-12-09 15:18:09 +0000 UTCHello all,
Work continues here at Venus Noire as we march on towards the release of demo #2. We are making good progress, but we still have quite a bit to do, which I am going to talk about today.
The End of the Polls

As you can see from the image above, we did a whole lot of polls, but the end is finally in sight, with just two more to go before I am finally free (for a short while). Our backers have chosen one animation from each poll, totalling over thirty new animations to be added.
Animation has Begun
Sommy has been working on the base images for a while now, but he has now begun animating the ones that he finished earlier. We just shared the first one, Amalia x Goblin (sex), with our backers last week, and there will be a lot more coming in the near future.
Tooltips
In less sexy news, we have now implemented tooltips, to help you out while playing the game. You can see them in action in the two vids below.
Location Tooltips
Stats Tooltips
What's Next
While Sommy is working on the new animations, I'll be planning some additional quests for the next version, to give you all a little more to play around with, using our already added map node system. Implementation is done, and the core systems are there, so once that is done, I'll start balancing to try and make it a bit more challenging.
We are currently aiming to have a closed alpha of demo #2 to backers in Q1 of 2020 for extensive testing, before releasing a public version at a later point.

I reviewed the game and gave a lot of feedback on your itch.io page. Hope it proves useful in development. Good luck on your game.
