GAME PROGRESS REPORT - JANUARY (Squeal little piggy special)
🕑 Added 2024-02-01 19:45:57 +0000 UTCHey folks,
It's time for a new game progress report.
Disclaimer: I'm posting these to be transparent on game development and show progress done. However, it goes without saying that some of the stuff you see here may be considered to be spoilers. Although I do my best to keep the big narrative points out (and believe me, there is a lot I would like to show, but that I'm leaving out for you to find and experience in game),
After deploying the latest 3072 AD patch this month, I took a small break away from it. And used the opportunity to focus and make significant progress on my Financial dom/Femdom (Female to Femboy) game: Squeal little piggy!
So this progress report will focus on it this time. But rest assured, my work on 3072AD will resume in February.
With that said, here is the report:
- Phone app: Gallery mode. Phone is now fully functional and ready to use -
Last time I reported finishing the "Map app" which will be used to "fast travel" to location. With the only two missing "phone apps" being the Photo and video gallery modes.
If you are familiar with 3072 AD this is similar to the "VR world". It's what you'll use to re-watch hot scenes that you'll unlock or just browse the images from said scenes.
Both the Video and photo Gallery modes have been coded in and are fully functional. With a first "scene" done for it. Which I won't spoil, but the next image will give you a tiny "sneak peak" of it.
Note: The view will switch to "full screen" once you actually open the gallery.

With this, the phone is now FULLY functional. Which is the most significant milestone.
Because the game is more visual novel/dating sim (with a Findom and/or bondage domination spin to it), there is no combat or RPG mechanics. However...
There are some mechanics and systems that are tied to the phone system.
This took a lot of time to put together and make sure that it works correctly. But it is now done!
Meaning that from this point forward, it's all drawing assets, writing and just putting the game together. Speak of which...
- New image assets, sprites, and in-game tutorial -
With the phone system now completed. It's time for me to actually "Make the game". That is to say, adding more assets, writing the story, creating events, planning the different choices and story beats.
This month I began making "chibi" image versions of Saito.
These are meant to be used in tutorial sections of the game or when a little "introspection" is required.
Some of the different "Chibi saito" variants.

But that's not all!
Because, I want this game to be as immersive as possible. With a lot lore about the town, understanding why things are happening and helping you understand the different characters (what they like and want.)
As this more of a visual-novel type of game (even if you will have the freedom to explore the world with sprite characters and maps), a lot of attention has to go on NPC characters, and more side characters and sprite/tiles. As interacting with this mysterious town and its characters is what this game is all about. So it needs to be fleshed out.
Some of the newly introduced characters are:
- The town's only police officer.
- The convenience store employee.
The police officer gal is not part of the "main three" ladies you can seduce, however... She does have a significant role in the story and there are a lot of surprises in store for her. But I won't spoil it for you. You'll just have to discover this when the first patches come out.
New dialog image assets for the police officer and the store employee.
New sprite assets for the police officer and the store employee.
There will be more character assets like these to be added later.
- New tile sets (maps) and starting to write the events (story)
A new tile set (Map) was required to create a convenience store location.
With this addition, I currently have 4 Locations done (House interior, neighborhood street, and the school principal office). With more to come.

Finally, I had to review my notes about the lore, story and character interactions I wanted for the game. The key points anyways.
For instance, while you will see your femboy character in some key moments and scenes, I want this to feel a bit more like a "Protagonist POV/first person" type visual novel . Again, "immersion" is the name of the game here.
And now the fun begins. As I begin coding the story and events.
Example of a "dialog sequence in typical "visual novel" fashion.
- Conclusion -
With the completion of the phone system, I'm no longer blocked to planning, and debugging it. Meaning, it's now time to actually put the game together. Write the story, the interactions and the scenes.
So it should be smooth sailing from here.
That said, I really want to make a good impression here. Even if it's more of a visual novel, I want this to feel very immersive with very deep lore with a slow burn to start to let you discover the world and its characters.
My main goals are:
- Dating sim visual novel (With a femdom/Financial dom inclination
- Life sim elements (Explore the town, check stores, interact with NPCs)
- and a pinch if mystery/horror elements as the towns secret slowly unravel.
The first playable patch I have in mind for this should have enough to introduce the key characters, with three of the main locations (School, Street, Convenient store) along with setting the tone of what's to come.
Although this won't have combat / RPG mechanics like 3072 and I'm limiting the "dating" options to 3 main characters (I won't add more than that unlike 3072 AD), I really want to give this the time, love and care it deserves so that hopefully you won't just like it for the kinky content but also embrace fleshed out characters, lore and stories.
The good news is that it won't be too long to get that first "introduction" patch out.
Once I'm confident of a potential release I will let you know.
This month I will resume my work on 3072 AD (Doing the reward scene).
That's it. Have a good one!
