Teaser and Highres Artwork
🕑 Added 2017-02-15 18:06:53 +0000 UTC It's been literally a month since I posted. I was asked if I could offer a teaser of some sort. Plus, I was thinking about how it saddens me that I always have to scale everything down to 640x480...So, I might as well release higher resolution stuff here when I do teasers. Here is the second CG you'll come across. You've already seen the old version. It was not completed because if you remember, I had part of the CG covered to mimick Bogwort's hands over his eyes but peeking though (and I was not as confident in my faces at that time). Here is the new version. I also hope that you see it as an improvement as I do. Yes, the revamping of old artwork slowed things down, but everything I draw now is using the new style. I'm still very happy with it 8 months later.
Enjoy the artwork, leave comments if you'd like. It won't be another month before I post again (or maybe it will...).

Molder and Scully have appeared in a strange world after some unexplainable event. They know one thing the they must find Bogwort.
Nine Horse Hitch
Its been awhile from the last time Bogwort has said anything to us. Or maybe the MiB abducted Bogwort to keep YT from being distracted. Or YT has chained Bogwort to a desk and making him work day and night. This could be the opening of the X-files for the "Search for the Green Perv." (For ours and YTs amusement while we wait for Chapter 1 I recommend that we write a episode of the X-files for Molder and Sculley search for Bogwort) Rules 1)Only two sentences max 2)No hate 3)Be X-filed theme 4)lets have it last for a week 5)have fun and remember what would Bogwort do ;)

I completely agree with thswherizat. The situation with akabur was completely different. Obviously, if ch.1 is right now in the same state of the initial release of WT, the problem is different.
Nine Horse Hitch
I think i starting to understand why YT spending so much time on Chapter 1. It to make sure that after the release of Chapter 1 to continue on to solely work on Chapter 2 with there only being minor fixes that need to be done in Chapter 1 that can be released with the update for Chapter 2. That and Chapter 1 is the biggest in terms of work load to begin also. All the game structure is made with the first set up. like the battle hud, sounds, music, and development of stream lineing the codes.

YT, I don't think Akabur's monthly patreon release debacle is comparable to the 2+ year wait for a first chapter that is reportedly in the polishing stages at this point.

But they won't be happy. They think they will be happy with a semi-complete experience. They think they will be happy if I just release something, but I was there for Akabur's Witch Trainer release. People will be happier if I just take the time to make the game I want. A unfinished or subpar release is never satisfying.
Yummy can I just suggest that you stop trying to make chapter one perfect , it doesn't have to be. Release it and make people happy as well as being able to learn on what to make better or improve for chapter 2 from our prospective.
MasterQi
I'm not having any trouble at all :/
Nine Horse Hitch
Hey I'm having problems with the page. the list of post have inverted themselves to oldest to youngest and can't load replies without any of YT (only YTs not other creators). Did YT block me or is there a glitch going on for me viewing YT page?
Saigon
Split Chapter 1 in 2 parts? Thats terrible idea imo. If he cant release at least full Chapter 1 after 2 years+(with few months of full time) then theres no hope for this project.
MasterQi
Yummy, I don't know how to explain this without repeating myself over and over again. It's been more than two years and with this "experiment" of the 6 months of full time you're starting to see that it will be quite a challange even to release ch.1 Can we please get something to play? Can you finally split ch.1 in two parts and release something? I can't stress enough the last two words. Release. Something.
YummyTiger Gaming
Kind of, but 6 months was never a hard date. I didn't actually go full time until mid January, then it took a bit longer to get back into the swing of things after neglecting the game for over a month. It also was not as easy as I thought to set a true home work schedule with the wife on maternity leave and the kids at home for stretches. So, basically, I'm still wanting to see where I end up in 6 months time, but if I fail to make significant progress, I don't know that I'd give up on full time. Even so, I truly believe that at a minimum, chapter 1 would be done. I'm working on it daily, the schedule issues are resolved, I've settled into a nice home work routine. Procrastination was my biggest issue the last two years, and that was because of how easy it was to make excuses to play games instead of work on a hobby. It's my job now, I'm no longer pushing things off to tomorrow.
YummyTiger Gaming
That would be nice, wouldn't it... damn lazy devs :-)
Dumai12
Yummy are you still holding to the first 6 months being your testing ground to see if full time works out? It's starting to look a bit worrisome. What are your plans when this doesn't work out?
Miene
Second primer coming soon™? Wouldn't mind something playable for your next post..
Amptitude
Mostly because A) we don't pay monthly and B) we know that even though it's taken so damn long, it'll be really really good when we get a release. :)
Dehkia
Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel elf boobs...
YummyTiger Gaming
Thanks, I am doing quite well. Settling into a nice full time routine. I'd love to release more highres artwork, but I also don't want to spoil things. I'm pretty damn proud of my most recent stuff.
YummyTiger Gaming
Well, the fact that I'm still here and working on it after 2 years should at least support that I'm trying to not let it die a vaporware death like so many other indie h-games. I'd like to believe it will be finished some day. My current mantra is "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good." I tell myself that every day when I look at the game and think, "shit, that could be better..."
Nick A.
Still waiting, still hopefull. This game looks to be sooo interesting... Hope the dev is doing well!
Aylia, the eternal unfinished story....
neogodslayer
You is naming off my broken dreams.
Saigon
Its March 2017 already, maybe its time to release something playable like full Chapter 1 for example.
YummyTiger Gaming
Yes, there are dwarves to fill out the fantasy tropes!
ArdenW
Hm...I'm wondering now. If there are elves and goblins and humans, will Aylia run across dwarves?
Nine Horse Hitch
i want a post before then.
Amptitude
So can we expect another 1-month post around the 15th?
YummyTiger Gaming
Not much in Chapter 1, but you'll see some in chapter 2, a lot in chapter 3, and shit just goes fucking batshit crazy in chapters 4 and 5.
YummyTiger Gaming
Poor PhatsM, that hole may be in your heart awhile. There is no anal sex in chapter 1.
YummyTiger Gaming
I agree, it makes the original look so... flat.
YummyTiger Gaming
Far better than it was before I went full time.
YummyTiger Gaming
You are correct, this day is not that day. But one day will be that day. Perhaps that day will be after the next day which is not that day, but hopefully, it is not after too many days that were not that day!
Admiral Cheesecake
One day. One glorious day. But that day is not this day...
Amptitude
I wonder how full time is going
White Rabbit
that butt is sexy as hell. :D
PhatsM
There's an elf butt shaped hole in my heart that can only be filled by an elf butt being filled.
Saigon
Im glad the turtle's gone, it was more misleading if anything.
Boyzilla
Mhm, wonder how Chapter 1 will affect the town. It looked pretty run down, maybe she will be the hero and save people! Or use magic to transform it into a mighty civilization! Or she will go evil and start a sex slave empire mwahahah. Nah!
StalkerRoguen
Why not continue the turtle posts? I don't care(okay, I do care a little) if you don't release on the dates, but I think it helps me and the community if you tell us what you've been implementing and what it is still missing. Even if you discover some extra work that must be done and consequently will mess up your estimatives, just say it...
Azure
....yes because people are wanting a demo and not talking about chapter 1....
For those who keep asking yummy to release something, please remember that there is a demo available for all. So technically, he did release something! :)
Don´t worry be happy <3
Do not worry my son, atleast there will be a hentai game for our children to play.
Azure
oh man...release something already >_>
YummyTiger Gaming
Yes.
YummyTiger Gaming
A variety of popular music, final fantasy or other video game music, motivation youtube videos.
PhatsM
In the ULMF thread before it was nuked, I recall YT saying that he could play from start until in game day 7 or so without stopping. I also recall him saying that slicing the game into that playable bit would take some time, maybe? Maybe he said he didn't take the time because of the installation job. But I think since he's gotten this far he might just be waiting until the whole thing can ship. Truth be told, if I could play up to day 7 right now, you bet Aylia's naked ass I would.
Just a small question, if you were forced to release something right now, would it be at least partially playable, and if yes, what does keep you from releasing these "small chunks" you had in mind earlier?
Obviously, Eliandre hover a fraction of an inch above any solid surface able to bear their weight which is below their feet. A race of godslayers stooping to dirty themselves by contact with the unclean ground? Please! :P
Maniac
A thought just occurred to me. Aside from not wanting to go to other towns in a potato sack, she also doesn't have any shoes. Does she get shoes with the blue dress, or is Aylia perpetually barefoot?
PhatsM
Any chance of that primer soon?
Nine Horse Hitch
Yummy an other artist whom are listen what do you listen to while drawing?
YummyTiger Gaming
I'd have to disagree, but that's why art is subjective. I will say, you probably won't notice in 640x480. Most of those shadows become too small to really stand out. But, as for matching, it's the same eye structure, nose structure, shading style, etc. From a side angle, going really big with the eyes just looks weird.
Buster4MC
The art style with shading is a great improvement. About the face though, it seems a lot less anime style, kind of doesn't match the rest of the art in the game. It might be me, but I think I prefer the bigger eyes and less pudgy cheeks look. But that's just preference.
Looking good! Btw, I actually loved the old style, had some homebrew feeling to it.
Looking forward to more!
