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.
