The Pill Conversion Update #4

Hey all, just another update to the work we're doing on The Pill conversion!

The core game 1-5 has been built (with the new voices) and the standard functions have been tested. Massive thanks to Lady Grove and our developer Valkern for making that come to life!

I've spent the last few weeks remaking the Luca vids, remaking the achievements and building all the expressions for Chapter 6. While I was doing that, Lady Grove finished coding the bones of Chapter 6, and is now busy re-testing all the final bits of chapter 1-5 with the new achievements (and doing a general polish). Meanwhile I'm on to the sound design for Chapter 6.

Still a long way to go, but I'm quietly optimistic for our release at the end of the month!

Also, if you missed it - just one last shout out for any Colossal Contributors who have never contacted us before to DM us with their chosen name if you want to be included in the games credits! (If you have contacted us at any point in the past don't worry, you'll still be included).

Is there any chance you can add the finished ending animations to the end of the appropriate chapters? It would be so nice to see the ending to the path you just played through. If not, no worries, but if you could, would you?

That is the end goal for sure and will likely happen in a future update. They are good animations so be fun to have them appear.

Will there be any belly expansion in this next chapter? The last couple chapters that had it were great!

Thank you for the kind words but I'm afraid there is no new belly expansion content in Chapter 6.

Y'all're killing it, good shit. I think you guys have earned a few weeks off after this, as far as I'm concerned

That's very kind of you. If we launch it and everyone can play it without a single bug then I'll take that as enough of a win. 😅

Wait, what happened? I thought Chapters 1-5 were almost finished, now it only looks like they're half-finished.

I am fairly sure that, since they're all finished, they're only counting that final two steps for them, just the achievement images and the final testing for the final build. Based on the optimism behind the release being in track (and the lack of their inclusion in the OG posts like this), they gotta be pretty confident these steps won't take too long

I am quietly optimistic that you take a break when finished. It is obvious from the start this was a colossal undertaking, and you have done stuff on top of it. Ya gotta look after your health man.

That's very kind and I hear ya. LG has developed a special look in her eye when I say "I had this new idea we can add in!" that equates to "Oh no you fucking didn't!" But seriously I appreciate the understanding.
