WIP - March Teaser (The Gentle Update)
🕑 Added 2020-03-03 06:37:20 +0000 UTCEDIT: Click to see first coloured images of Tsumi/Danielle/Ajia by the second artist!
EDIT2: I now have a lifetime commercial license agreement with the artist who did the above image of Tsumi and the others. She'll be the main artist for images & assets in the game going forward (That I can't create). I may not be able to make an event this month with those 3 specific images due to time constraints but we'll see. She's affordable and good on listening to feedback, so depending how things go I may be able to order a few images per month from her. She's doing 10 image assets for me also this week which the majority will update previous lip/face images, and allow me to do a foot event. Over time, I'd like to get previous assets in the game to the same art style etc. But I have to pay my bills first and eat!
Hi everyon- *Ducks the shrinking potions/high heels/and empty sushi trays thrown at him*
Ok! OK! I get it! You don't want a wall of text! Just watch the video then, but it's best to read below first XD
Anyways, a big thank you to all of you for continuing to support me, and a really massive thank you to those who did something I never expected. It's seriously been a big help as switching to try become a full time Dev/Artist on here is pretty intimidating. You're all awesome and a life saver.
So to business, this months update to Tsumi Umi will be focused on the gentle side of things. Everything's a WIP in the video so you're seeing unfinished stuff/barriers/NPC's I use to test things. You'll be able to visit a new mansion area where rich women like to retreat to, there you'll be treated and pampered like a goddess (or for us guys/tiny girls, be the ones running around doing the pampering XD). The events there are focused on being gentle first, but will have the option to be evil. I'll hopefully be able to fit in every single event I want for this area with the vore/dinner ones first, then the vagina/foot ones after as I'm in talks with various artists for assets and testing if they're any good, I really need those assets to make these events great. I won't say too much on events as I'm essentially making a good, bad, tiny, and giantess POV of these events. Aka, it's a lot and I don't want to disappoint if I can't fit in a certain event this month and have to put it in April's instead. I don't like over promising stuff, and prefer to let my work do the talking. That stomach scene with the pasta took me 2 days to make (Tsumi's lying on her stomach hence why looks bigger than normal) and there's going to be a minigame with you running around inside and rubbing certain points. A big request aside from gentle stuff is that people like punishing tinies if they deserve it. So this event I'm trying to make it with tinies who are professionals or criminals who will make the event teaseful where she might not let them out if they don't do a good job etc. The player will have the choice in the end to let the out or not so those of you who love RPing as Giantesses will probably appreciate it the most!
Speaking of artists, the first 3 images at the end are being done by a studio. They're quite a bit expensive so the image of Tsumi in her bikini won't be done but it's a nice sketch. The first 2 are being full coloured commissions (with no background). I may even be able to use the sexual one as an asset depending on quality rather than just the event it's for. She's also going to be naked in it and the tiny removed as it's too big.
The images after those 3 may look familiar to you. One event I've always liked and actually is what I based most of my assets in the past since GSim, is the restaurant event in the Little Snatcher game. This is from another artist that will be doing them coloured etc and are of Tsumi, Danielle, and Ajia. I wanted to add in more game overs or an event that had all 3 of them like the Little Snatcher one, though I'm not comfortable doing something that might seem like I'm stealing the idea when it's because I really loved the scene and wanted to do it as a nod to it. I'll have a think about it however. Depending I might not be able to put an event in using those last images this month as this new area they are all dressed up and look different. Plus one can get sick of sushi every time XD I'm also talking to that same artist in updating Tsumi's mouth (all 6 of them) when she goes to eat/talking etc. So it's better quality than the stuff I came up with and should hopefully show her jaw moving while talking if they price it right for me.
Another thing that I'm on the fence for right now unfortunately is if I can get many voice lines... if any done this month. I have a lot written down to add to the existing voiced event but I also need more for the inside tummy rub event/gentle events (I pay for commercial license use every order I do hence why I don't do lots of little orders). I also spent quite a bit more than I'd like on artists (there's more than those 2 I've shown doing various things for me) but we'll see. I really want to make it a really nice update, especially with gentle lines.
*Takes high heel to the head* Ok! Ok! I'm sorry! Wall of text again! So hope this is a nice teaser preview of what's to come this March. It's a heck of a lot of things to do so I'm heading back to it.
I'll make another post once I get the images back completed as another teaser for you guys. Also, for those of you on the $10/15 tier. If you haven't already yet, please let me know any lines/custom NPC that you wanted so I can put them in March's update :) If you're unsure what I'm talking about then let me know! I've also been thinking depending on how well March's update goes, I may be releasing monthly updates to Ascendance preview as well to complete it.

Sounds like it's a very good thing you've got artistic skills of your own then. I wouldn't known where to begin editing. And it sounds like she's willing to work with you which is a good thing. Don't push yourself too hard. From what I've seen some of other game makers a monthly update schedule is highly ambitious.
Daichi
Luckily she gives me the source PSD files so I an edit everything to what I need. The new mouths she gave for Tsumi sadly don't suit but I think I can copy and give her some new lips. It'll take a bit of work for the feet/ass images before I can make them assets too so I'm a little worried about what I can get out this update. I might have to skip certain event scenes to get the events in instead this month. The stomach scene is pretty much done which is a relief and the biggest one past making the area. The Vagina event is heavily dependent on what that studio brings back to me, the other artist couldn't make it an artstyle to fit the game. But I'll see if I can make the inside vagina event still as I need to create the inside from scratch. Every GTS/Vore artist I ask is always busy and can never take commissions. Why you like this life. Why.
Jonathon
I imagine she'll improve with time especially if things work out for you and you can budget in a few images a month after bills and living expenses. As for the studio. I can see that being a bit worrisome especially when you have plans for the images. Hopefully when they do show up though they'll meet your requirements and exceed your expectations. I'm fairly used to artist delivering late when I commission a work but I'm only relaxed about it because the artists I know always delivers. Even if it's two months late.
Daichi
Not the budgeting part XD But the planning it helps quite a bit for general time frame. Turns out she's better at drawing full people rather than just body parts so there's quite a bit of revision/editing I need to do on my side before I can put them in in assets etc. Surprisingly haven't heard back from the studio yet past those sketches and they're due in another 5 days.
Jonathon
It's good to know you found an artist to work with. I imagine it'll help a great deal with planning and budgeting. The images you showed were quite nice I look forward to seeing them in game.

Wow! Its really hard for me to answer this question cuz they ALL look wonderful! But I guess food doesn't have right to choose, huh? All right, let them make their own choices so that each tummy of three will have a 1/3 chance of processing us XD
Daichi
Well I'm still in talks with the artist, maybe a heck of a lot of people if I get them done XD But which face looks cuter to be eaten by? https://imgur.com/a/0XOFzz7
Keyboardcrusher
To be eaten by Tsumi? or Danielle? or Ajia: that is the question :P
Daichi
Not anytime soon :P Yui hasn't even shown her real power yet. If she didn't like Tsumi then there would be no game XD But you'll just have to wait and see why with Kiyomi. But Tsumi's spoilt, evil, and rich... Yui's the opposite. Kiyomi's been the in between of both with the choice up to the player.
sus
Hahaha i wonder at some point yui and tusmi meet and show there distaste for each other i also noticed kiyomi doesnt seem fond of tusmi either i wonder why? XD
Daichi
Thanks! It means a lot to hear it! Yes she is. Originally when I created each game the characters were always going to be separate in their own spaces, but it's all the same one world it happens on. Just different timelines. ASC is in the past obviously, but goes to the future in the latter half, but I won't say how far. Tsumi Umi is 6 months to a year before GSim. I was thinking how I've had quite a lot of lore but never managed to put it in so this update I'll be giving more here and there so people can get an idea. Fun Fact: One event in GSim that you haven't seen was Kiyomi showing how she got a shrink/growth ray in the first place. She works as a lower level scientist at one of the Shrinkex facilities in another country. The reason she was the only one who created it was because of her witch ancestry, which you can see as an easter egg reference in Ascendance if you talk to a certain NPC that you don't kill/remove in the event XD Another thing is, Tsumi is related to Yui. I haven't had time to make it but I have the full audio is that I was going to create a really funny welcome video for Patreon. Yui/Tsumi's voice actress is narrating while I show bits and pieces of everything. One of the lines she says is this: "The last project, which became a lot bigger than intended is called Tsumi Umi Sushi. This is the only sexual intent game featured and is made for guys rather than girls. Normally I wouldn’t mention this because it’s about Tsumi… who’s actually one of my black sheep descendant cousins thrice removed. " It's a joke in itself since the voice actress is the same XD As for Tsumi ever knowing or having any powers of her own, (let alone the one question everyone cringes at: "Palpatine got busy?")... We shall have to see one day.
sus
Well You certainly deserve it for always making great content i cant wait to see this update im really excited to see the past characters meet up and i wonder if this version of kiyomi is canon lol
Daichi
Yeesss? Here I thought you liked her evil side more lmao hahaha
Paco Gonzalez
