Second progress report

After our weekend we dived back into work successfully.
Cres finished another graphic (the third one), while Boxman finished some pixel art and Zhuan drafted some dialogue texts.
You can see some of the art above.
So far everything progresses quite well.

But instead of just listing the progress and showing some graphics, I figured I'd go into some details about the game in upcoming posts, starting with this one.

As we stated in the past, this "Mini Game" will be an action game/brawler/platformer/sidescroller whatever you want to call it.
We try to experiment with a few new mechanics and stuff, while also using our strengths and providing a solid, quality game.

Basically, in this game, Francesca (the dark elf) will run a street up and down, looking for "customers" to milk for money, while at the same time holding "freeloaders" off.
When Francesca initiates hentai (or when some NPC initiates it) a screen wide CG, like the one shown above, will be blended in.
This is kinda similar to how Tifatan X did it (very old hentai game).
But instead of just blending in a static image, we plan to have the CG adjust to what's actually going on. Meaning the CG will change according to stuff happening to the heroine.
This is... difficult to explain in words alone, and we don't want to spoil the fun by posting all the graphics before the game release.
Summed up you can say that the CGs have variations and will change during gameplay.

As usual, our game contains narrative with game over hentai which explains what happens to the heroine if she fails. But we also included a lot of ingame hentai and some special hentai that happens when winning the game. So we hope that we cover as much hentai themes with this game as possible!
(this time there is no BDSM in there though, sorry about that)

If you have any questions, make sure to join our live streams the next couple days.
See ya!

First progress report

Here goes our first progress report!
The first two days on the project went very well, we've been making good progress.
Crescentia finished Francesca's dialogue graphic with all facial expressions.
As well as finished the first CG.
The second CG has already been sketched as well.
Since the graphics are made in "simple cel-shading" they are quite fast to make.
(also no "naked version" underneath, so less work than the Deathblight RPG "soft-shading" graphics)

We plan to include 3 CGs for "ingame" interaction.
As well as 3 CG scenes for different endings of the game.
So yup, this is some good progress.

In the meantime Boxman worked on pixeling the first sprites for Francesca.
Zhuan wrote the first drafts for the prologue.
Blade made some good progress on the text parser which is needed to load the text Zhuan writes into the game.
While Illustrious worked on some prototype track.

As we progress there will be more to show, so the next couple updates should have more details and information.
We hope you're looking forward to them!

Also we hired VoiceLikeCandy to do some voice acting for Francesca!
You can check her stuff out over here:

Cres and I (Wolf) will be taking tomorrow (Sunday) and Monday off, as those days are our "weekend" basically.
But starting Tuesday we'll be back in action and doing more live streams!

See ya and take care!

2 week game challenge start

As we announced on Patreon we're currently doing a "game jam" like: 2 week game challenge.
[https://www.patreon.com/posts/2-week-game-19161085]

During the next two weeks (possibly 3 if we need a bit more time) we will work on a Mini Game with the entire team.
(we recently expanded the team by several new teammembers, Boxman for Pixelart, Zhuan for Writing, and Regris for Marketing)
Once that one is done, we'll return to our usual game project.
This Mini Game is mainly intended to test our teamwork with our new teammembers, gather some data on work speed and stuff, and to kinda say "hey, were back in doing platformers/brawlers/sidescrollers".
So please share the news!

We plan to do daily Live Streams on Picarto:
[https://picarto.tv/CrescentiaFortuna]

(except for Sundays and Mondays when we take our weekend break)

The first Live Stream is running currently.
We'll be there for about 5-6 hours.
So feel free to join us!
You can ask us questions in the chat or simply watch our progress.

We also plan to post progress updates every 2 days at least.
(except on our "weekend" of course)
So stay tuned and check out what we're up to!



The Mini Game will be about our dark elf "Francesca".
In the game she goes on a bet with her rival to earn more money than her within 2 weeks.
Francesca decides to accomplish this by using sex as a means to "milk" her customers for money.
More information on upcoming posts and of course in our Live Stream chat and Deathblight Discord Server.
See ya around!

Team expansion and survey

I figured I'd let you all know that we expanded our team this month.
We mainly did this using our own funds (more detailed news over on Patreon).
Boxman supports us as pixel artist, while Zhuan is responsible for writing and Regris takes care of marketing and PR.

To start this off, here's a first message from Regris:

Hello! It's a pleasure to meet you all, this is Regris and I'm taking a position with PR/Marketing to  help with Projekt Wolfenstahl, and more importantly, Wolf and Cres' workloads.

So if you all have a bit of time, could you please spend a couple of minutes on the survey below? We do not intend to make any individual person's results public, but I do want to talk about the results in a general scope afterwards.

Once again, it's great to be working with all of you!

Deathblight RPG progress update


I figured a new progress update on the Blog would be due!

We've been a bit slower than usual in april, due to Cres having a foot surgery.
(no worries, everything went well)
But we're back to full work speed now!

We finished another CG, facial expression changes are still missing though.
The Minigame for Ferania's bouncer job is roughly 95% done.
Graphics are still missing for it, but we'll get there.

We also expanded our team this month.
But I'll spare the details for another blogpost.

For more (and more detailed) progress updates, check out our Patreon!

Shoutout for Desecration of Wings and Lewdware

Today I figured I'd give a shoutout to two games that just got released ^^
(yup, we're working on DB RPG as fast as possible, no worries!)

Desecration of Wings:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/793450/Desecration_of_Wings/

Desecration of Wings is an RPG Maker game made by Sierra Lee.
You may know her writing from Deathblight RPG.
So if you like to read Sierra's original stories, you may want to take a look at this game or at other games she made in the past!

Also, you can download a NSFW patch on Sierra's blog:
https://the-last-sovereign.blogspot.com/p/desecration-of-wings.html


Lewdware:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MkcHf8o_FI

Links are in the description of the video.

This game is made by the people from Shady Corner.
It's a collection of minigames (or microgames?).
I tried some of them and they are quite funny in various ways.

Have fun playing the game!

Here's the changelog for Alpha 4.1.

 Changelog Alpha4.1 - 28/02/2018:

- Added more lore to the dungeons. You can now find out more of what happened in certain areas.
  Loook for open books to tell you the story.

- Fixed recolored enemy sprites turning black again when defeated

- Increased dash speed by 50%

- Added more NPC dialogues when in a different state.

- Spaced out the enemies appearing in the Failure bossfight more, so they don't overlap as much-
