Hey all! Just wanted to show a couple things we've been working on for the next build. This post will be split in two, one for the SFW portions and one for the NSFW portions. Spellcards: The girls will have another tool in their combat arsenal: Spells and Toolspells. Spells can be executed any time

Happy March! It's time for a big status update. Lots of things have been happening, so we'll break it up into various sections. Art: Many pieces of concept art have been created for GARDA HQ. Here are some highlights: Animation: (video above) Susan now has grapple animations. We've had to revamp mos

Many of you have been asking for a production roadmap, and here it is! Note that tasks that come up in the middle of production aren't included, and this is only a high level overview. It also doesn't take into consideration things like rescopes. If the scope drastically changes, we'll update the ro

I've been working on content that's not ready to show yet, but here's some UI updates, and some tech art work I've been doing at the end of the day (footprints in the snow). Second video will be uploaded in a separate post, due to limitations with patreon's posting system. (Why can't we embed videos

Our tiny crew has been really busy working on a bunch of things, so it was time for another one of these. There's a lot to talk about, so I'll try to address everything in the order of the title. MIS_ST_03: Story Mission 03 work is in progress since most of the open world mechanics are functional. R

We've been hard at work designing and implementing the mechanics that Manhattan depends on to become an open world hub for missions and activities. I. Why One Hub

WIP on the Manhattan open world area! This map will be expanded later. Manhattan serves as the sandbox area for open world missions. Levels are streamed in chunks so there's no loading screens between sections. Below is an annotated map, it's about 2.2 KM wide and takes about 4:30 to run from one si

Builds 0.0.256 (censored) and 0.0.257 (uncensored) are now available via the launcher! The standalone version of the censored build will also be up in a couple hours.

Preview for the upcoming Transformation System! Works similar to DmC (reboot)'s combat style system. Also shown in this video is a major animation polish pass over all the existing attacks. There are some bugs to iron out, so Transformation won't make it in February's Public build, but the animation

Working on modeling out Amelia's casual skin, so that she can transform mid-combat! I sketched this concept earlier to figure out the look of her transformation necklace. Also, a small status update: To follow the milestones set a couple days ago, greyboxing of the Manhattan map will be pushed to st

Now that the first version of the demo is out and development is moving, I thought this would be a good time to explain what our plans are for the next couple months. I thought the best way to do this is to list out our upcoming milestones. For the non-software developers reading, milestones are sho

Thanks for all the feedback! There will be a new Bleeding build on Saturday to address some feedback. Here's what will be in the build: H-Game changes: Note: I tried removing the QTEs in the middle altogether, but it got too boring, so the QTEs became much easier instead. Let me know how this feels
