🕑 Added 2024-01-16 21:36:55 +0000 UTCHey all! Time for an update again now that we've all settled into 2024.
As I've told you before, I started working on the new slave route epilogue for FET. It'll be much more like a normal book route than the love route epilogue. The latter was meant to add some more group scenes, add more silly scenes like "Toph's tower of flesh" and tie up some story stuff.
I still wanted to give some characters the slave route treatment and because of the time frame in which the book 4 slave route took place I couldn't do that back then. The slave routes in general have always been the shorter ones so instead of what I did with the love route, it'll be a bit more of a story driven route. At least more than dumping everyone on ember Island and have 'em go at it :)
When starting a new route it always feels like I'm blindly feeling my way through how I want to do things exactly... and this time was no exception!
It took me quite some time before things started to click in my head. Part of that is also me doing other stuff, like the gallery addition which is seductive to work on. That part goes slow(very slow actually), but still... that whole feeling of "adding another scene" makes whatever malnutritioned completionist feelings I have within me hungry for more. That wasn't doing anything for the new slave route epilogue though so I had to stop working on that again. At least until the new build is finished. I'm not the kind of person who easily switches between things on a day to day basis.
I've also been doing some more "cleaning" of scripts. Putting stuff together where it makes more logical or practical sense. That's not something the player will ever notice, just me. What you *might* notice in the upcoming build is me adding some higher res versions of "talking heads", by which I mean the images next to the dialogue.
Most of FET is still using pretty low resolution images. It's not an easy matter of simply replacing everything with higher res stuff and I only started using higher res images during book 4, but most of those "talking heads" were still using the same low res images. I didn't finish all of them, but a bunch should look better now if you're going to play FET on a bigger/full screen.
Btw. I think I'll add the epilogue routes as another world screen option like books 1 to 4. If only while I'm working on them so it'll be easier for players to jump right in without a save file to test out the epilogues. I certainly started to dislike having to go through those myself during testing!
Anyway, I'm expecting to have the first build and start of the slave route epilogue ready this month, though I kinda have to make up for me not getting enough traction at the start of the month. Been doing a lot and my mouse hand started acting up again because of it! luckily switching to a different, more ergonomically shaped mouse(I have acquired a bunch of mice in my search for the holy grail among those) gave my hand the relief it needed. I like my other mouse still better so this is just to give certain muscles a break.
And that's it for semi on-topic stuff. If that wasn't enough babbling for you(are you sane?) here's some entirely off-topic babbling stuff below!
-----
I like to read and 99,9% of what I read is fantasy and science fiction books. Audio books can be nice too while working on FET or Titans IF it's work such as inking lines, or at least something which doesn't require much conscious attention. I don't do too well dividing my attention between listening to what's being said or actually working on something.
I'm not certain I mentioned this before, but sometimes you discover books you've read actually have a computer game equivalent. That happened to me years ago with "Betrayal at Krondor" which is an oooold rpg game. I only discovered it because I had read some of the fantasy books whose world the game takes place in. Sci-fi books are more prone to become outdated than fantasy books for obvious reason. But when I discovered a game existed of the books I had read I didn't immediately realize how old the games were! Like... "you're going to be needing some highly specialized software to get them going"-old. The "less then xx Mb"- kind of old(non cd version). You can find it on gog.com nowadays which makes things a lot easier.
I tried playing it and I came very close to saying fuck-this and forget all about it within five minutes because of the low resolution. I'm not used to playing things which are that old. Anyway, that particular time I was feeling headstrong all of a sudden and forced myself to give it a real chance by playing it for at least a couple of hours. The game was well beloved from what I could see and I liked the books so I thought: "there must be something there for me to discover/like". Long story shot, In the end I finished it(I can't remember if I used cheats) and really liked it.
The reason I mention this is because the game had it's 30th(!) anniversay last year. Which I only discovered this week because of a recommended youtube video in which the developers were talking about it. It was very nice to see since I only had played the game relatively recently and could appreciate it for anything but the graphics, which must've been stellar at the time.
Since I was updating some resolution stuff myself and was recommended the video I thought it was funny to mention it here. If I wasn't busy I'd try and see if I could get it to work on Linux to play it again... buuuut I AM busy.
So I'll be leaving you again. Who knows, maybe I've made you curious about "Betrayal at krondor" if you happen to know about the books.
And that's it for me again today. Hope to see you before the end of this month again with an new FET build!

MITY
Children of Ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky was a pretty nice and easy listen. Or something pretty old is...invaders from the infinite by John w campbell, that last one feels more like a guilty pleasure :)
Jarhead
What kind of books are you listening to? Any recommendations?
ivanhunter- johnson
I meant for the Azula’s slave route
MITY
For the slave epilogue? It'll take place after the time skip (crippled korra) which means Ty Lee has gained quite some years so that might not be so nice looking...
MITY
Theoretically yes. I'd hook it up to a pc and manually move the files found here yourphone..\Phone\Android\data\fet.start\files\saves to the new one. It's been ages since I had to do that myself, but at the time it worked for me.
TheWaffleMan
so i acc went n tried it i enjoyed it a fair bit, i dunno how to describe it i feel like with the limited hardware and capabilities it makes the game more liquid? NOT fluid, but liquid like it kinda forms itself around your head cuz you’re filling in the gaps, that’s how it is for me anyway lol
ivanhunter- johnson
For the slave route, what about having Ty Lee get pregnant instead of Azula?
AQ
Is there a way to transfer my game data from my old phone to the new one?
Cow God
I hope you choose to make this slave route have some depraved choices, I'm not sure if there's some juicy stuff planned but some jinora/ikki content continuing would be pretty neat. Or maybe even some more beast stuff like with "Korro"
Marshall Iblis
I'm extremely glad to hear that you're considering putting an entrance to the epilogue, if only temporary, so I don't have to play the entire game again for the slave route. It's been years lol and I've gone through a couple computers since then. Actually, wait, when _was_ the last slave route update? I know you guys put off finishing everything until both were at the conclusion point, but before that it had been a while right?
Marshall Iblis
I noticed it with Raven a lot in 18titans. She's pretty petite, imo should be built like starfire. Unfortunately not a lot of thicker women in comics.
BUFFSAVAGE
Ight you go Cook King... Or Queen
Dubsington
Girls who gain weight once they are in a stable relationship -- that's what we have real life for, don't need it in porn lol
Bill Kurtis
I was thinking for a few days, Betrayal at Krondor sounds familiar, but it wasn't until today it snapped in my head, Riftwar Saga! 😅 I loved those books, though I only read the first 3. I never played that game, but it looks along the same like as Daggerfall, so next time in in the mood, mayhaps I will partake
Deonast
Seems to be the natural order of things over time we put on more weight (hmm I need to go exercise :)
Deonast
I'd probably be half ok if I had water damage, half of my books are in the shed in big plastic countainers due to lack of space in the house. I shudder to think the amount of time I'd have to spend to do some real reading. Since I started my current job I don't think I've read a single book. Just need to win a lottery and convert work time to personal time :)
MITY
Well... as much of a story as you can expect from a porngame, but I'll do my best to have it be entertaining.
MITY
There's just so much I haven't read/played yet I'm almost certain I'll never get to all of it. And that's just the stuff I know about. At one moment I lost a lot of my books because of water damage(all cheap paperbacks, but it still felt like quite the loss) I think I still have a couple of Feist's books... just took a look and I got "Magician" which is in surprisingly good shape and a couple of others. Nowadays I often read them on my tablet.
Half Naked Hero
Lol my little pony equestria girls. Lots of prime waifu material there.
MITY
Hahaha! Thanks Akylas. All I hope is for the gallery(which I'll slowly roll out a bit more with each new build) that it won't have weird bugs. That's currently my only real concern. Have a good year too : )
MITY
It was a very laid back(which I prefer), but I'm kind of happy things are returning to normal again. hope you had a good one too!
MITY
Eska was absolutely one of those characters I wanted to return :)
MITY
Guilty as charged. I don't even consider that(chubby girls) as something I prefer, but unless I consciously stop myself the girls always increase in weight. ps I used some higher res pics for the Nami bj scene during book 1 in the upcoming build. It's still the 99% the same(changed some eye movements) but will be higher res.
MITY
You may suggest anything you like : ) , but I'm keeping my cards close to my chest when it comes to future stuff. Don't know what an EQG storyline is, but it'll probably be very obvious once you say it and then I'll feel dumb for not immediately understanding it right now.
MITY
thanks rickxy007, it's certainly too much praise for me to accept, but it's always nice to see others knowing about BAK. When considering the amount of games which get a remake/reboot etc, it would certainly be nice if an AI image upscaled version of BAK could ever be released. I really had to force myself to play it for a while before I started to appreciate it. Just some better/higher res graphics would've made the journey a lot easier for me(and probably others who are 30 years "late to the party" :)
MITY
I'm not certain anyone will find a lot of joy in playing "betrayal at krondor" unless old games are there particular kink and/or have read Raymond E. Feists books, but just looking at what they could do with the very limited hardware back then is pretty interesting all by itself imo.
Deonast
Betrayal at Krondor been a long time since I played that and it was old then, have a feeling I never finished it (I'm like that with games and time). Yeah purchased it again 10 years back on gog figured it would save mucking around still haven't gotten back to it. I learnt the books existed after I'd had a go at the game (they also are still on my shelf waiting to be read)
Mikkel frost møller
Look forward to playing the epilouge og the slave route and is kinda hoping that it will have a story and a proper ending since a good game deserve a good ending
ChaseJor27
cant wait for the next update, just a reminder i love your work
ivanhunter- johnson
Keep up the great work!
Akylas
I'm glad things are trucking along :) I'm looking forward to seeing how the gallery functions and what new stories await on the Slave Route, having only played the Love Route. Take the time you need, and don't overwork your hand or mind. The care you've put into making the best AtLA game I've ever played is evident, and I'm very happy to be here for it. Have an awesome day, week, month and year MITY!
Drax
I cannot wait for more FET. Hopefully you had a great new years and holidays Mity!
JMBCHIEF
Definitely hoping to see more of Eska. Also now we need a nude version of this Katara and Toph pic lol
Dubsington
I would love to see higher-resolution reworked sex scenes from the earlier books, particularly book 1. (Be careful though, I have noticed that you sometimes have a tendency to make the girls just a little bit chubby when you iterate on scenes and Katara ought to be very fit indeed!) Glad to hear the slave routes are getting a buff. I enjoy them quite a bit, although the content is noticeably richer in the love routes.
Half Naked Hero
Sounds like FET is coming to a close. After that, what’s in the works for ya then? Dare I suggest an EQG story line?
rickxy007
First time I post on Patreon, even though I have supported you for a while MITY. I love your work, and the fact that you know BAK is unbelievable. I will go ahead and say this: your work and theirs is different in genre, in graphics, in gameplay, but certainly not in talent and raw passion for what you do. Keep at it!!
TheWaffleMan
love you n the work mity, defo curious about what’s coming next, and gonna check out betrayl at krondor
