Progress update for 11/13/22

Hey everyone. It's been a while since my last progress update. Been very focused on coding and writing and forgot to post again. Got two main things to cover in this post.

The first is for Adventure High. Version 0.73 is finished now and is available to patrons. The public release will be in a week as usual. Here's what's new in this update

- 3 bedroom scenes for Ashley extended.
- 4 scenes added for Ashley's tankard plotline.
- Treasure chest for Healed Ashley added to 16th floor of dungeon.
- 1 spell added for Kate.
- Rescued buff added.
- 1 spell added for Molly
- Guilt Status ailment added. 

The next is that I've begun an indiegogo campaign to start work on Spiral Clicker 2. Its going to be more of the spiral clicking and harem collecting fun of the first game, but with compatibility for larger numbers, a PC friendly screen resolution, and the introduction of spellcasting to make conquest more fun and interesting. 

If you're interested, cameos are cheaper during the campaign than usual and every little bit will help the game get off the ground faster. So do check it out if Spiral Clicker was something you enjoyed.

Progress Update for 9/5/22

 Hey everyone!

Here's the status update for you all. I released the new version of Spiral Clicker last week. There are a couple bugs I need to work out, but I added four characters to the game, and I seem to have improved the black box issue, fewer people should be experiencing it now than before. 

I am beginning work on Adventure High for the month. I got a couple scenes done on my stream a few days ago and have been working on implementing them in the code. It should be up tonight. 

I got a new demo of Mind Conquest this week as well. Its up to the point of handling the attacks, but not quite to the point of having the puzzles. so that should be coming along fairly quickly soon. 

Succuquest is coming up pretty soon. I'll be sending the finalized demo to the publisher I am working with, Shades, later this month to be prepared for an october release. 

I think that's all I can think of at the moment. Sorry it's a lot of brief statements, i've been perpetually drowsy since getting another hit from that stress illness a bit over a week ago. Hoping that goes away soon.

Status Update for 8/24/22

 Hey everyone!

So, I released the new version of Adventure High a few days ago. So, here's what's new in this version of the game:

- Slime Girl Sex scene added to Monster Ranch.
- Rubber Naga Sex scene added to Monster Ranch.
- 1 new floor added to Dungeon.
- Lava Girl monster added to Dungeon.
- 2 scenes added to Monster Ranch for the Lava girl.
- 5 bedroom scenes updated for Cassandra. 

I have almost caught up on the CGs that have piled up during the times I got sick and the times that my computer were down in the last year or so.  So, soon I should be able to start working on scenes that don't involve CGs and get some more plot related story done.

I am working on Spiral Clicker at the moment. I've been working on tweaks and optimizations for a little while, and hopefully it will make the game continue to be more stable. I have one new character added to the live version so far with a couple more on the way. This update will likely be one of the larger updates. 

My foray into streaming has been going well so far. I am most of the way to affiliate with just .7 average viewers to go before I reach that goal. This weekend I did an impromptu dev stream on twitch, by just not showing the engine and talking about what I was doing so that I don't accidentally show anything that could get me banned. I am thinking that if I can keep doing those, I'll vastly improve my work speed. I do still work much faster on stream but flipping back and forth between twitch and picarto is rough. 

I am planning to do a long stream today in fact, doing some more spiral clicker development, then switching over to a game stream later in the day if I get too tired to keep programming. That will likely be in an hour or two.

Status update for 8/8/22

Hey everyone. It's been a while since my last blog post. It's been a crazy few months. 

I had to deal with my computer dying, and having to get it repaired, and then finally breaking up with my abusive ex and going through a rather lengthy eviction process only for her to leave on her own at the last possible moment before going to court, and working extra hard to catch up on things. 

So, I ended up not having time to actually write a post in a while. I will try to get back into the routine of weekly blog updates though now that things are starting to settle down.

So, as far as news goes, I have a semi-solid date for the new Succuquest update. Things have been getting delayed repeatedly with it due to steam giving my publisher a hard time, but as of this time, we are expecting the steam page to be ready to launch in October, and I will be releasing the new version at that time.

I missed one update for Adventure High when my computer broke down but I did get an update out last month. I am working on this month's update now. For this update, I've been working on Cassandra's updated bedroom scenes, and will be working on Julia's extended library scenes next. 

For Spiral Clicker, I learned that the way I handle Dialogue is super wrong and bad. So I've been working on changing the entire dialogue system. This is a change I will also need to make in Adventure High, but I'm going to be doing the change over one game at a time. 

Finally, I've been working on streaming more lately. I am hoping to get into the habit of alternating recreational streams and gamedev streams to both increase my productivity and give me recreational time. Of course, Twitch would ban me in five seconds if I did dev work on my streams there, so I'm on two platforms. Twitch for gaming, and Picarto for gamedev.

Progress Update for 5/19/22

 Hey everyone,

The new update for Adventure High came out last week.  I'll be starting up the next dev cycle at the start of next month. In the meantime, between the updates I've begun working a bit on Spiral Clicker. I've added Eliza to the game and am now tinkering with optimizing the main screen to be less memory intensive.

The update for Succuquest is finished, but I am waiting on the steam page to be ready. Its taking a fair bit longer than I expected. I am hopeful it won't be too much longer. Apparently Steam has a potential problem with one of the enemies in the game which slowed things down if I understand correctly. 

That's about all I have right now that I'm working on. I will be continuing to try to make steady progress in the meantime.

Progress update for 5/9/22

 Hey everyone,

It's been a little bit since my last update. I keep forgetting to do it weekly but also there isn't always a lot interesting to say every week. I am working on Adventure High at the moment. It's on live updates right now until the end of the 12th. 

I did figure out the issue with saves; the fourth row was accidentally referencing the second row instead, which caused some weirdness. The live version should now have this fixed. 

This update so far has added quite a few scenes to the monster ranch. I'm going to start on getting some of the extended bedroom scenes done before the update finishes. My goal is still to get through as many CGs as I can until I have my CGs folder cut down to a reasonable size. Currently there are 85 files in that folder, so counting variations it's probably around 40-50 CGs to implement. 

I will continue to work on this update, hopefully I can get a fair bit more done in the next few days before the end of the cycle. Thanks for all of your support. I am trying to do my best.

Adventure High 0.67 Released

Hey everyone

The new version of  Adventure High is now up on Itch.io and on Newgrounds. This one I managed to get quite a few new scenes into. I'll probably be caught up on all the CGs that have piled up in 2-3 more updates, accounting for new CGs also being made being added to the folder. Here's what's new in this version of the game. 

- 4 Extended Bedroom Play scenes added for Dr. Tiff.

- 4 Extended Library scenes added for Ashley.

- 2 scenes added for Kate Booked plot.

- 3 scenes added for June.

- 2 scenes added to Victoria transformation plot.

- 1 scene added to Molly willing slave plot.

- 3 Extended Bedroom play scenes added for Ms. Rack.

- 1 scene added to Molly Romance plot.

- 1 scene added to Jane's extra credit.

- Alure Fish handjob scene added to Monster Ranch.

- Frost Troll handjob scene added to Monster Ranch.

 

Additionally, I've got the new version of Spiral Clicker ready. It's up now on Subscribestar and Patreon, and will be released publicly next week. Here's what's new with this version:

 

- Poledance scenes added for Delia, Susan, Olivia, Boomer, and Queen.

- 10 convos added for Queen.

- 8 convos added for Dominya.

- 10 convos added for Liandra.

- Darlene added to game.

- 5 CGs added for Darlene.

Progress Update for 4/8/22

 Hey everyone,

The new update for Adventure High has been coming along fairly well. I have 17 new CG scenes implemented so far, and I have been working on some tweaks as well to make things a bit more consistent. For example, changing some of Molly's dialogue in the bedroom scenes for if she was enslaved via the Book rather than the player's personal magic (the book changes a character's default opinions in a way that makes Molly's shyness in that situation seem out of character)

I still have a lot of CGs to implement but so far I've been making fairly quick progress. I still have several days left in the dev cycle so I should be able to implement a fair number of scenes still before this update wraps up. So, it's probably going to be a very large update this time around. 

I think that's all the new news I have for now. I will continue to work on the update, and the patron release should be in a few more days, at the end of the 12th.

Progress update for 3/30/22

Hey everyone,

Things have been moving quickly for Succuquest over the last week or so. I've doubled the size of the haunted mansion compared to what it was at previously, and added the new boss fight against Necron. I've also added around ten CGs to the game. 

At this point, the new update is just about ready. I have a few sound effects to make or find, and probably a little quality testing to do to make sure I didn't miss anything. Just in time too, as the next round of updates for Adventure High is due to start in a few days. 

If you're interested in Succuquest, there is a ton of new content to play in the live updates version right now. It's available for 5 dollar patrons here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/succuquest-0-03-56581067

That's about all I have for now. I'll be trying to finalize this update as soon as I can, then I will get to work adding more content to Adventure High. 

Progress Update for 3/20/22

 Hey everyone,

Things have been a bit thrown off recently. Got sick just before the start of the last cycle and now allergies have started up. So, that's been a bit rough. I have been getting work done though. The public release of Adventure High has arrived, and here's what's new in this version:

- Bad Bud Handjob scene added to Monster Ranch.
- Mandragora Handjob scene added to Monster Ranch.
- Normal Ashley Bedroom scene extended.
- Mature Slime Handjob scene added to Monster Ranch.
- Alure Fish Flashing scene added to Monster Ranch.
- Bad Bud Flashing scene added to Monster Ranch.
- Ice Troll Flashing scene added to Monster Ranch.
- Tough Sarah Bedroom Scene extended.
- Needy Sarah Bedroom Scene extended.
- Mandragora Flashing scene added to Monster Ranch.
- Mature Slime Flashing scene added to Monster Ranch.
- Aquatic Girl handjob scene added to Monster Ranch.
- Plant Girl handjob scene added to Monster Ranch.
- Slime Girl handjob scene added to Monster Ranch.
- Rubber Naga handjob scene added to Monster Ranch. 

As well, I've been getting a fair bit of work done on Succuquest. I have the next boss fight programmed and am currently working on building out the mansion to lead to that fight. I am not yet sure how long it will be until the next release but I am soon approaching it. 

I think that's about all I have right now to share, but I will be continuing to work on things in the meantime. Hopefully next month's dev cycle goes more smoothly, I'm looking forward to seeing how much I can finish in a full not messed up cycle.

Progress Update for 3/10/22

 Hey everyone,

Sorry about the rather brief post last time. Being sick didn't last very long but it was very intense. I've been working on getting as much work as I can done on the new update for Adventure High to make up for lost time while I was sick. 

The live updates for adventure high are currently going, so if you want to check the new content out right away, it's up here on my patreon at the 5 dollar tier. https://www.patreon.com/posts/adventure-high-0-63437385

So far, I've been adding a lot of content for the monster ranch.  I've added 9 scenes so far, and I am continuing to make progress as quickly as I can manage. The patron/subscriber release will be in a couple more days, so I have time to get a few more scenes in at least. 

Thanks for your support, and your patience. I am trying to make this update significant since it's the first regular schedule update for Adventure High in a while, but getting sick threw me off a bit.

Progress update for 3/4/22

 Hey everyone. 

Kind of a short update post. I am feeling very sick today, Live updates will begin for adventure high as soon as I'm feeling functional again. Not really much else I can think of right now. Will make another update post later.

Progress update for 2/18/22

Hey everyone,

I managed to finish the finale for the new area in Spiral Clicker with this update, which will be publicly released in two more days. This update will be the feature-complete update, which means that no new features will need to be coded and I can focus exclusively on adding new characters, and bug fixes on existing features. 

With Spiral Clicker now feature-complete, I will be moving Adventure High back to the monthly update slot. This will be good for both games, as it will allow me to do deeper bug fixes on Spiral Clicker that I have not had time to do on a tight development schedule, and I will be able to dedicate more time on Adventure High to catch up on all the CGs I've collected while it was on a slower schedule. 

Succuquest will probably be having another update soonish. I am waiting on the assets for one new boss fight and that will be all I need to finish assembling the next section of the game. 

That is about all I have for now. Next month will begin the new schedule, so I'll be getting ready for that.

Progress Update for 2/8/22

 Hey everyone. Sorry for now having a post for the last few weeks. I've been buried pretty deep in coding work and forgot to do much else. 

The new update for Spiral Clicker is coming along well. The final minigame of the new area is now finished on the live updates, and all that's left is the finale. I'm not sure if I'll have the finale finished in time or not, but once it is, I'll be calling Spiral Clicker feature complete. So, either this month or next I will be switching Adventure High to monthly updates. 

Since I've been buried in programming for Spiral Clicker for a while now, I don't have much news for my other projects. The new minigame is large enough to be a small game of it's own. I guess I got a bit carried away designing it. 

That's about all I have for now, the supporter release for Spiral Clicker will be out in about four days, at the end of the 12th. The public release will be on the 20th as usual.

Progress update for 1/8/22

 Hey everyone

The new version of Adventure High is out now. The downloadable version is probably the best way to play, as the HTML5 version is slow to load. Also, gamejolt has decided to ban all adult games so Itch.io is probably the best place to go to play the game right now. 

https://hypnochanger.itch.io/adventure-high-hentai-game

I've begun the dev cycle for Spiral Clicker. This time around I'm working on catching up on the implementation of some CGs I've built up. The generic country girls now have their scenes, and I am working on some of the barn scenes for existing girls. 

I am getting pretty close to being able to start on the final minigame for the special area. I have about 3 animations left to get done after the current set that Caveman Doodles is working on.

I've also been working on programming the next boss for Succuquest, since I have both the boss sprites and the sprites for the new form defeating her will unlock.  

I think that's about all for now, I'll be continuing to work on the new Spiral Clicker update in the meantime.
