Progress Report

Howdy! Here’s what’s up:
All is good, not much has changed since my last report - we’re still working and preparing for a release at the end of this month.
This post is more or less all about our “Nadya” npc and my plans for her, but first I’d like to mention a few things.
Kira’s face:
When I started the rework, I had to redrew all events completely and I still didn’t finish layering all of them. But Kira’s face upgrade is nowhere as complex - I just have to draw it once and replace all pictures.
Which is why I didn’t abandon the idea of upgrading her face, but her facial overhaul will have to come later since I don’t want it to slow down the addition of new content and the development of the game in general.
On top of that, each new picture I create makes me a little bit better at drawing, so it would be smart of me to wait until I finish the NPC artworks.
I plan to return to this topic, create different versions and conduct some polls later this year. Meanwhile I’ll slowly work on Kira’s face in my “spare” time, again - I won’t let it slow down the development.
Content in general:
In my last progress report I’ve mentioned my plans for Liuda and I’d like to clarify that all of that will come later. Right now we want to finish what we started - we don’t want to add even more unfinished storylines.
Same thing will happen in this post, I will let you in on my plans for Nadya but we won’t implement any of that for a while.
NPC transformations:
First of all, thank you all for participating in my little survey, I did not expect this much feedback - it was a pleasant surprise.
So, based on your suggestions, we’ve decided to “keep our options open”. We will focus on Kira and her H-events, but we will code all important NPC’s in a way that would allow us to alter their appearances whenever we chose to do so.
And whenever we will start implementing any transformations for this kind of NPC’s, we will poll you on what “transformation path” should they take, with each NPC's having just one (like cow, slut, pet, etc.).
I believe this is the best solution and again, thank you all for voicing your opinions.
And now let’s talk “Nadya”:
As you can see I redraw her pose exactly as it was and tried to make her overall appearance resemble her old art as much as possible. However, while working on her outfit I ended up going in a slightly different direction.
Original Nadya’s artwork looks like that because she works as a “maid” and it’s also an homage to Nier Automata. However, when and if we will add the maid job to the game, I’m certain that we’ll have a poll for Kira’s maid uniform and Nadya should wear the same one, so drawing it right now would be a waste of time.
When we will get to the maid content, I’ll make sure to include an updated version of her original outfit in our polling options.
As for her overall pose, we already have plenty of girls standing like that, so I wanted to make her more unique and ditzy.
If you like the reworked version of her original pose (open legs) more than the new one I created (closed legs) - do tell me and I’ll create another poll, but I honestly think the new “ditzy” pose fits her character better.
Now, since she’s no longer permanently dressed like a “maid”, what should she wear in the dormitory? Here, we have some options and all three of the new outfits will work for her character.
But before that, here’s a bit about her character:
She’s meant to be vulnerable, naive and kind of dumb. The relationship she has with Liuda makes her completely subservient to her and Liuda decides what Nadya does, including what she wears - which is why any of the three outfits will work as her “default/dorm” clothes.
While Liuda and Nadya are a “package deal”, Nadya has her own planned content and she’s an AO (anal only) vaginal virgin.
The First outfit (leopard print skirt) from the teaser is the one Nadya wears when Liuda commands her to sell her ass.
The Second outfit (blue-ish skirt) is meant to slightly resemble the school uniform and Nadya wears it when she goes to the “evening school” (for adults) in an effort to become smarter (unbeknownst to Liuda btw).
Speaking of the school, Kira will be able to go there as well and plan to make it a repeatable place for intelligence manipulations - increasing/decreasing Kira’s Intelligence stat (at least that’s my plan), but more on that in another post.
And the Third outfit (pink-ish shorts) is meant to be her default/dorm one. I thought that it would be nice if Liuda and Nadya were wearing matching pairs of shorts, since they’re in a relationship together.
The general idea here is for you to customize Nadya a little bit in the game (if the conditions are right). You’d unlock her “job skirts” and be able to dress her up in them inside the dorm.
However, I’m not sure we will ever do that, which is why I’ve decided to poll you on this issue.
In conclusion, right now we want to primarily focus on existing content - finish up everything I’ve started, but we do have plenty of other new and exciting ideas.
I hope you like the updated version of Nadya and our plans for both her and the game overall, there’s only one issue left to discuss today - the polls:
And here’s the new polls, in case you missed the notifications:
Nadya breast size poll (click me)
Nadya “default” outfit poll (click me)
Note: I was too busy with Nadya, so I didn’t finish counting votes (tier 3 patrons votes count as 3) and updating Liuda’s art in time for this post, but I’ll update her and post another teaser soon.
That’s all I wanted to say today, thank you for your patience and support, the end is near!

Honestly, when I don’t have any new artwork to show - I feel reluctant to post. So I thought that having an update last month was enough and that I shouldn’t post any reports without a teaser. But your words make me doubt my judgment. As for Nadya`s puppy look - I’m glad to hear she makes you feel that way, I really wanted you as a player to worry about her, to try and help her or to make her situation even worse :)

Sounds like a reasonable plan, and I like we're having a release planned this month. The fact we had nothing last month without even a comment was worrying. As for Nadya - the Sprite looks good, but the sad expression makes her look like a lost puppy. I feel bad for her just looking at it.

Loving the new Nadya, and excited about the very far future school stuff.

Nadya looks great! She is easily the best looking rework so far, they only seem to be getting better. Looking forward to seeing the rest!
