Progress report February 6th, 2024
🕑 Added 2024-02-06 09:24:22 +0000 UTCHello everyone, Sourjelly here.
First of all, I must apologize. I've been absent for 5 months straight.
Due to disagreements, the team was temporarily broken up and we had to take our own time.
The main reason was lack of profit making and programmer's health issue.
Programmer and I had controversy of current ongoing project, and we had to take the time our own to fix the wound and stand up again.
I'm truly sorry for taking so long to return.
But programmer and I, managed to patch up the wound and trying to finish up the what's left undone.
and here's the pixel art and screen shots the team been working on.
1. Dungeon South area:
Dungeon south area will be fully accessible.
This place leads the player to desert area:
while venturing this area, player may encounter the boss - Mother stigma
and new boss monster - Sand queen
desert area is vast, and sandstorm will intercept the player's vision.
also player's thirst meter will decrease much faster while player is in this area.
Desert will make player lost.
if player don't know the exact coordinate, player will circle the area endlessly.
It is not recommended to visit this place at early game.
Also player may encounter this new monster : Sandman
2. New monster - Sandman
Sandman is a new monster commonly found in the desert area.
They have high resistance against water attribute attack. Using of throwing items action may helpful. Especially lethal throwable weapon is very effective.
While sandman's presence, sandstorm will block the player's vision. in other words, if player defeat the sandman in local, sandstorm will ease.
Good thing is sandman is not very aggressive creature.
as long as the player don't attack them, they will not attack player first.
Sandman attacks the player by summoning tornados.
3. New boss monster - Sandqueen
Sandqueen is the special boss monster can be found in the middle of the desert.
Player may encounter the Sandqueen while venturing the desert area. but there's no teleport or save in this boss room. Player can choose fight or avoid this battle.
If Player attack the giant mummified girl,
boss fight will begin.
as the player hit the mummy, swarm of sandman will show up and tries to protect their queen.
but unlike other boss fight, Sandqueen's boss HP starts from zero.
as the player attack her, sand queen's HP will recover and she will return to life once again.
From mummy to human
Once the player managed to recover queen's HP more than 60%, she'll start breath and react to player's attack.
Damaged motion.
HP over 80%. Queen's breasts get bigger and she starts to sweat.
Sand queen is optional boss.
Once the player defeat sand queen, desert will not spawn sandman and sandstorm until next red orb day(if player defeat the boss at day 1, player may safe from sandstorm for 1 in game week)
Also, Player may able to fight against queen every ingame week.
4. East area of the dungeon :
Now east area of the dungeon is partially accessible.
Player will encounter little bit different stuff here.
"Bee-hemoth" is the riding that player can unlock by investigating West area of the dungeon.
Since east area is vast and hollow, Slime must awake this creature to venture east area of the dungeon.
Beehemoth can carry his girlfriend inside this head(literally)
Player may enjoy the H animation while sailing.... or maybe not.
She's the key to unlock the east area. find her!
As the player progress venturing east area, girlfriend inside the beehemoth's head also have progression.
5. Minimap :
Now game support 3 different kind minimaps.
One is at the Statue of the goddess.
Player able to use this mini map once the player interacts the statue of the goddess on all over the world.
To activate this mini map, Player MUST touch the statue of the goddess on each side of the dungeon at least once.
then Minimap will allow to show the image of the area of the dungeon,
how they connected,
where the hidden paths are.
Some maps have minimum information due to the concept.
Player may use "fast travel" once unlocking the area.
The second type of minimap is available by default.
player use the "X" key to see the vague image of the area nearby.
Also player can see the third minimap by opening inventory, then Press "X" key.
...Or just click icon on the left side.
6. New boss : Iron maiden
Iron maiden is the boss plays hide and seek.
Player must find this boss through the forest of knight statues.
Once player find the boss, hitting her will strip her down.
First, her sword
then helmet
B.plate
Bottom
Once player managed to strip her armors, she will start run away.
If player fail to catch her, she will return to armor and resume the hide and seek.
but worry not. as player damage the boss, her armor will become more fragile.
defeating Iron maiden will make her....faint?
after boss fight.
Revisiting boss room after defeat iron maiden.
They will become NPC and will give casual conversation.
Player will find her at westside of the dungeon.
7. New monster : lesser vampire
Lesser vampire is common undead found in eastside of the dungeon.
Each individual may weak, but they will attack the player in number.
attack with wide area attack will be very helpful to fight against them.
8. Currently Working on : NPC, Bride of dragon god
Player will find this NPC while traveling Eastside of the dungeon.
Player's goal is find bride's groom and free him to make them happy. (Optional mission)
9. Complete animation set for Royal guard :
It took very long to finish it, but now the animation is done. It'll be applied to in game soon.
10. Current status of the project :
I believe it's about 55~60% done. Main contents are still rough, but system is built in shape.
I wish I can upload it now, but I found several bugs that causing crash really bad, so debugging is in progress.
WIP build will be uploaded on this weekend.
...and that's all for now.

Yes, gems are sign of witches. Every witches have their gem somewhere on their bodies. Most of monsters recognize who is adventurer and who is the witch by their behave and gems on girls body.

Sorry to hear there were some problems, but glad its sorted out now. These are some amazing pixel animations, so much variety with all the girls and what happens to them. I noticed some gem looking things on some of the bigger ladies, like with the dragon brides wrists and the desert boss groin. Is there anything significant about this detail?
