Progress update for 7/30/21

 Hello everyone. Here's my status update for this week.

I've begun installing the UI for mind conquest. I'm taking it slow to avoid causing a lot of horrible bugs to pop up. I have the puzzle updated so far as well as the dialogue window, and will be working on the rest of the scenes steadily. 

For Adventure High's new UI, I still have no new word on that though I was told a month ago that it would finally be finished in one week. If it's not done by the time Chien is finished with the art assets needed for the new special area in Spiral Clicker, I'm going to commission him to do the UI instead. 

Spiral Clicker's next update cycle will be starting in a few days. I will probably implement the countyside's town hall function in this update to finish off that set, and then will work on adding the characters I've built up but haven't yet added. 

Succuquest needs a couple more tilesets and several more sprites before I can start on the next update for it. So while I wait on my pixel artist to get the new art ready that's going to be on the backburner. The next area will be a haunted mansion in a haunted forest, which I hope will be fun. 


I think that's about all I have for now. Thanks for your support.

Progress update for 7/19/21

 Hello everyone. Having a bit of difficulty getting used to the schedule for the weekly updates; the day of the week keeps slipping my mind. So, posting this now when I'm thinking about it.

So, spiral clicker is just about to update tonight. My girlfriend was recently diagnosed with Pancreatitis caused by Diabetes that she is also now newly diagnosed with, so the last couple weeks have been a lot of chaos. There were a lot of delays caused by this, and I worked through the early release week to have enough content to make the public release worthwhile in size. Here's the patch notes for this version:

6 Convos added for Delia.
Barn Function added to game.
Barn CGs and scenes added for:
Tammy
Joyce
Kathrine
Amber
Helen
Sally

Unsurprisingly, the UI artist still has not finished the AH interface though I am being told with strong insistence that it's almost done. I am thinking, if the UI is not finished by the time Chien is finished designing the new special world in spiral clicker, I'll have him do the UI for AH next. 

I also need to work on implementing the new UI Chien finished for Mind Conquest. Hopefully it is well received; it looks pretty good and appears to be much easier to work with from a development standpoint. Though it may take some time to adjust the locations of all the text to match the new Ui structures. 

For succuquest, I have two new sprites almost finished from the pixel artist I am working with. I will be working on assembling the next area once I have those and one more tileset. The next area will be a haunted forest, so that will hopefully be fairly neat. 

I think that's everything for now. Thanks for all of your support and patience. I am starting to get back into being able to focus on working again.

Progress update for 7/2/21

 Hey everyone.

I missed last week's update apparently; last week was rather busy so I ended up losing track of what day it is. I may need to set an alarm to remind myself when it's Friday. 

Anyways, the last couple weeks were fairly eventful. I got Succuquest's next update finished and released this week, so here are links to that; downloadable on itch.io and html5 on newgrounds.

Last Sunday I did an Adventure High dev stream for the first time in a while; it went about three hours and I managed to get 6 scenes added to the live version. There were a few bugs that have been reported so I'm working on getting those fixed. I will most likely be doing another AH dev stream next sunday as well.

Finally, Spiral Clicker's live updates are coming up soon. I will be having the first new updates for this cycle starting up in the next few days.


So, I think that's about all that I've been up to the last couple of weeks. I will keep up the working this week as well.
