Left Hand Magic (Build 2) - Public Release
🕑 Added 2022-05-07 23:41:21 +0000 UTCAlright! With the release of Build 3 for $5+ patrons yesterday, it's time for Build 2 to go public! This build added the first weekend Events to the game, along with providing content for the two Threesome Routes. Note that this build was the February build. As in, shortest month of the year. As a predicable consequence, it was a bit smaller than will be typical. The recently released (to patrons) build 3 contained 14 scenes for example, instead of the 9 included in Build 2. Though Build 2 did have one more animated scene than Build 3. So the difference isn't quite as drastic as it seems.
As to the build itself, I was pretty happy with it. There were/are a couple of animation stages with some jerky movement that weren't noticed until it was too late to fix them (which have now been added to a list I'm making of things to revisit and smooth out when we get farther along). I'm also just flat-out unhappy with some of the sound/music. It's proving much harder to find licensable adult sound (consistent voices doing a variety of sexy things) than I'd ever thought it would be. And I'm not 100% happy with the current library of music I have to pull from for background music. Going to have to do something about both issues in the future. But right now, it is what it is.
Aside from those minorish quibbles(none of which are horrible, they just aren't quite up the high standard I've set for this project) the Build turned out quite well. Seven new animated scenes, the majority of which contain multi-stage animations. Plus a fair bit of additional character and world-building. The vast majority of the stills and animations are up to spec, so to speak, and I ironed out a lot more framework bits during Build 2. Including doing so serious overhaul work on a few systems that were a bit more patchwork than I was happy with before. Anyway, enough rambling! Links and release notes!
