1 year of MPP! Here is some of the first developmental art and how the game project started!
🕑 Added 2022-12-28 23:52:09 +0000 UTCI released the first build of MPP just over a year ago now!
I thought it might be interesting to show you what the game looked like 1,5 years ago or so.
I had worked on another project with a coder behind-the-scenes for a while and made some pixel sprites:

https://gyazo.com/8c547b5e0e0dc4721047681bcdcd35ff
https://i.gyazo.com/bbca378c70e2dd1fdd47fc16db0a9758.png
But this project fell apart because the coder couldn't prioritize the game anymore and I felt fed up with working with others because I had ANOTHER game project fall apart before that behind the scenes...
I ended up doodling this princess-Emelie stuff without any direction because pixel-art game stuff felt fun, and I started feeling inspired by the setting. I was sort of getting bored of drawing furries in a modern setting and liked drawing fantasy, and with these pixel-art pics I combined both!
Then I heard about Ren'py and played some visual novels made in it, and I felt passionate enough about the princess-Emelie idea to reimagine it as a Visual Novel with illustrated art!
So I drew and posted the Emelie paizuri/massage art here on Patreon as an image-set, while working on the game-aspects in secret behind-the-scenes... so that if the game was too difficult to realize, I could scrap it without letting anyone down. But Ren'Py was fairly intuitive and the game came together without too much hassle! Then I posted it on Christmas and now it's been my entire focus for a year!
It's kinda fun to look back on these images. Emelie looked less bubbly and her tits were even more huge than they are now lol. I feel like she looked hot but I think the overall personality and feel of the current Emelie is right where I want it!
Rolf was barely developed and Billy looked extra harmless because making angles was tricky for me with pixels haha.
When I decided to make the game a VN I just overpainted these assets here. But I reimagined the UI completely since the new UI was based on Ren'Py's settings.
Anyways I thought it might be interesting for some of you to see this! :)
PS: These " screenshots " are just mockups. The game was never playable in this state. And the UI was just made for visual design, it was never functional.

MPP isn't going to have goblins or demons or angels etc, but will mostly focus on anthro characters with the MC being the only human!
Danny
Is there any chance we'll see the redhair angel mommy in MPP or are you trying to keep it furries only? Not that I mind either way.

I love this pixel art!! Tbh more mature, slut emelie was my fave, but i see where youre goihg with the "innocent-ish" current characterization!!!
Frank Kuschmann
I guess that was a good decision of yours.(*Thumbs up*)
Dsan
This game is coming out so amazing, so glad to see you thriving with it!
CyanCapsule
The ones I linked through gyazo were, yeah! But i also started MPP with pixel art and then moved over to illustrations! :)

I love pixel art! I've seen a few of your pixel art before, were those part of the other project you mentioned?
Very cool! The pixel art looks fantastic, but I think the illustrated style allows a lot more detail and nuance which adds a lot to the result.
CyanCapsule
Yeah it was briefly! And I thought " I can do pixel art faster!" but then I realized it wasnt much faster and I didnt know what I was doing haha. And since I wasnt going to do many minigames I figured I'd rather do illustrated art!
Frank Kuschmann
I didn't know that "My Pig Princess" was a pixel-art game at the beginning. But Emelie was already as lovely and sweet as she is now, irresistible! Thank you for the wonderful review of your masterpiece!
andrew
I wasn't here when you first developed it but holy hell you surely improved for the better😁
Jephos
Wow! You've come so far in only one year!
jonny
Whoa, the pixel-art is so cool! Glad it looks the way it does now but both look hella poggers
