Progress Update - April 14th, 2023
🕑 Added 2023-04-13 18:12:00 +0000 UTCHey there, Halftilt here with a decently lengthy progress update! I’ll be going over the next release date for Lustiest Lair's CC Overhaul and some information about what’s going on with Light-Space Love.
Lustiest Lair
In some good news -- I’m working with Lawfulsock again to get some animated curios!
I’ll be sharing progress on those animations in a future post -- starting with the "Drainflowers" curio. Hopefully, I can get animated curios for all of the main curios within CC (and possibly some new ones).
I’ll be releasing the CC overhaul in stages as well since some of the content is a bit slower to get out than others (namely the animated curios) – with the first release planned for the 30th of this month!
Here’s a rough draft of some of the planned phases for the CC release:
- Phase 1 - Release the flavor text, story and dialogue overhaul for Crimson Curse. This will include some of the animated curios that are ready (such as the two exile curios) while over the course of the following phases release additional curios as part of each other phase.
- Phase 2 - Create journal entries and trinkets that are Lustiest Lair specific that relate to the revamped Crimson Curse.
- Phase 3 - Update the Crimson Curse “curse” sprite itself to better reflect the flavor change.
- Phase 4 - Here I would like to update or add an additional enemy to the Crimson Curse Overhaul – though I may move onto overhauling CoM’s dialogue, text and story if the animated curios for CC are not finished at this point.
Light-Space Love
I’ve also resumed work on Light-Space Love – though most of the work is what I’d call “administrative”.
Getting commissions done for certain scenes, organizing what content I plan on adding and what will be added later and replaying the current version in order to see how the first real “Episode” should be approached so the story logically flows together.
And this administrative work has made me realize a few things about how I’ll be releasing the coming episodes!
For instance, I plan on breaking up each episode into “Phases”.
As an example, I’m picturing this first episode being broken up over the course of five to six phases. I’ll give a rough outline of what each phase for the first episode might look like:
- Phase 1 - Overhaul of the game's intro.
I’ll be breathing some life into the intro so the “prison” actually feels lived in.
To do that, I’ll be adding a cult to the prison with other prisoners that Linessa can interact with – and the prisoners and guards will have a sort of “camaraderie” that I won’t spoil here!
There’ll also be some new lewd options for Linessa to try and figure her way out or she can take a skill-based approach to escape.
And to give a bit of background on what adding this cult means:
Once the player has broken out and decided what she wants to do with the Slaver Queen, Linessa will be able to revisit the prison and interact with this cult further – with plans for a multi-stage mission for Linessa to either lead or become a member of this cult. - Phase 2 - Meet some new crewmembers and revisit some old ones.
I’ll be revisiting some of the introductions with her crewmembers and introducing some new ones once Linessa returns to Deep 69.
Mainly revisiting the intro to Mizzy and meeting Linessa’s second-in-command, Usura, with a pretty significant flashback between the two of them. - Phase 3 - Linessa will be able to visit the Gro’n Ska’Li homeworld with Amora to investigate why this was Linessa’s last jump location and better piece together what happened to her.
Here she’ll meet the Gro’n Ska’Li, a race of lizardmen that place high importance on martial skills within their primary culture. She’ll also meet a few characters from her past (including an ex boyfriend of hers with some romantic options between the two).
She’ll learn that to earn the lizardmen’s trust, she will have to demonstrate her martial skills by participating in their tournament first.
She’ll also be able to gather information as to what happened to her and even about her opponents in the tournament – with some lewd options to "gather information". - Phase 4 - Linessa will be able to “train” her martial skills to prepare for this tournament.
This release will focus on the martial arts mini-game primarily -- which is going to be even more in-depth than the Piloting mini-game on the lewd side of content. - Phase 5 - Linessa will enter the tournament and uncover a mystery that surrounds the planet and the tournament which ends with a large story reveal – this “large reveal” may be separated into a sixth phase depending on how things go.
And that's about it! Thanks for all the support it really means a lot! None of this would happen without it! And I'm super hyped to see more of you joining! I'm hoping you guys stick around because I think I've got a lot of neat stuff coming up! ;D
