Adventure High 0.84 is up

 Version 0.84 is up for Adventure High. This one may have more bugs than usual; after updating Stencyl's engine to a newer version, a lot of things broke. I tried to fix as much as I could find but if you find anything, feel free to report it. Here's what's new in this version:

 

- Transformed spell lists for full party added.
- 2 spell slots added for Reese.
- 2 scenes added for Molly Quits plot.
- 1 scene for Victoria added.
- 1 scene for Kate's romance added.
- 1 Convo for Sarah added.
- 1 Convo for Erin added.

Progress update for 3/4/23

Hey everyone. I've got a few updates for you all. 

First up is that the new live updates cycle for Adventure High has begun; we're starting out with all four of Ms. Rack's extended library scenes, and one new scene for Ashley's tankard. 

Mind Conquest is getting close to finishing it's port. Most of the mechanics of the game have been implemented, and we're now getting to the point of transcribing the scenes from the game into the new engine. Hopefully we'll have an update on that in the next month or two. 

Succuquest is also approaching a new update. I've been working steadily on it in the background and most of what I have left is designing the sunken ship dungeon. Hopefully you will all enjoy this new update when it arrives. 

Spiral Clicker has been going a long time without an update; largely because I've been doing the very slow, and very tedious process of updating the dialogue system to a more efficient system. Its slow, but when its finished I am hopeful that the memory use during compile will go down enough to finally allow a mobile release on android. 

 

 

That's about all the news I have at the moment. Thanks for all of your support. Also apparently I can't comment on my own posts on blogger now? Which is rather weird and inconvenient. Hopefully they fix whatever is causing that problem. Whenever I click to reply, I get an incomplete text box with no submit button. ^__^; Found that out when trying to answer someone's question a little while ago...

Adventure High 0.75 is out + progress

 Adventure High 0.75 is now out on newgrounds and itch.io. Here's what's new in this version of the game:

- AI updated for Sarah.
- 2 scenes for Derrick's transformation plot added.
- 1 scene for Lava Girl added to Monster Ranch.
- 1 scene for Aquatic Girl added to Monster Ranch.
- 1 scene for Alure Fish added to Monster Ranch.
- 3 scenes for Magma Golem added to Monster Ranch. 

 

Not much news for Spiral Clicker so far; I am working on the lengthy process of optimizing the code. Its a long and tedious process but when it's finally finished, hopefully the memory usage in compile will be low enough to finally do the android .apk export.

Spiral Clicker 2 is in the resource collection stage. I'm working on getting all the resources needed to begin assembling the first version of the game. I have several characters designed and some UI designed, but the rest of the early UI and some generic girls are needed to progress. 

Mind Conquest has been steadily progressing with it's port. The programmer I am working with on it sent me a new version a couple weeks ago. So far most of the core mechanics are functional. Main things left to implement are new art assets, the code for managing everything that happens when you sleep, and then building out the content. 

Finally, Succuquest is getting close to starting live updates again. I've finished the programming portion of all the new enemies for the next area up to the start of the next dungeon, and am working on building out the area to explore on your way to it. The new area will feature a lakeside, followed by the depths of the lake. The dungeon of this area will feature a sunken pirate ship found mysteriously at the bottom of the lake, far away from the ocean which will be well on the other side of the map...

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.
