Kinky Fridays Club

Howdy howdy friends! Like I mentioned in a previous post, my time and schedule have well and truly been thrown off and outta wack. Babies do that to you, so, yeah future warning for anyone going to do that whole “raising a human” thing. Time goes bye-bye. I want to keep you all informed about our de

Hello hello, it has been a while since our last development post here at Kinky Fridays so I need to apologize for that. In case you were wondering why I had a baby! My time has been quite limited the past few months but things are getting back into order now so we can start being more transparent wi

Hello everyone, quick update. I wanted to apologize for the lack of content at the start of 2022, currently I am having my first kid, so my work has been put on hold while the baby comes into the world. Sometime next week we can start getting back on schedule. Thank you for understanding! Kinky.

The 2022’s are upon us. This new year means a new format for the Friday Posts. Previously we did a weekly post with a short breakdown of the status of our in-development games, it gave me a lot of freedom to just quickly give everyone an insight into our works and how it’s all coming together. Buuuu

Alright the final week of 21, we made it! Woo! I hope you all have a safe end-of-the-year celebration, and our 22 will be very very good. I can feel it in my bones. Expect this week’s report to be a little on the light side due to Christmas and all that. Date Night Final preparations are going into

The year is winding to a close, but we are still trying to get things done. Date Night The system is slowly coming together, our main programmer for this joint had a few days of rest due to some sickness, he should be back at it this week though. As for other work, we are building our bible still of

New team members, new directions, same old scope. December is about halfway done, and we still got a bit left to do this year. Date Night With the basics of the new Lipsync system kinda done, the focus was entirely on making sure the animation/modeling bible we are building as a result of this neat

So last week was downright frustrating, our company storage and repository had some issues that took several days to overcome, but I can say with confidence that the machine is up and running without issue! Hurrah! Date Night Like I mentioned last week, we are taking a month or two to build up some

Congratulations humans, you did it, you passed the tutorial that is 2021 and now we can play the game. In all honesty 2021 was a crazy year for us, but we have one more month left and hopefully some very good news to come out of it! Sapphire Safari The last week was spent mostly releasing the v0.0.3

Nothing beats a good week of work, you feel good at the end, you move into the weekend with good vibes. Happy! Sapphire Safari This week we have once again been hard at work focusing on the building of monster interactions. The system we have right now is the basic starting point for all interaction

We are getting closer to the end of the year, and what a year it has been. But before we get all misty-eyed we have more work to tell you about! Sapphire Safari We are getting really close to having another patch ready for everyone here. This week was spent with a focus on tying together the control

Another week has passed over and our work continues. We have had to double down on the work needed for Elewder but the processing for the other games has not slowed either! Sapphire Safari Our focus for this week was mostly around bringing up the quality of the models available in the current beta,

A disappointing start to the life of Elewder does not change our focus and perspective. We learned a lot but we keep on trucking. Sapphire Safari Last week the focus of Sapphire was around the menu interactions for the cuddle mechanics in the game. Specifically, the system we released in A002 was ve

Finally after poking and prodding me, the marketing staff have their way, the Friday Post is going to be released on Monday, but I wont be changing the name of the Friday Post since it is about the previous week… Weird... Sapphire Safari So we will have Alpha v002 ready for everyone today at some po

At this point, we might as well not call it the friday post, and just call it the weekly thing. Sapphire Safari This week we have been working on the sex interactions, mostly on how the user interacts with the UI. The key feature here is to allow the user access to their tools and interaction option

The speeds at which we will be able to progress from this point will be so much faster. We are currently finishin

I really need to stop putting writing these things to the last minute. Maybe I will start writing them in the morning?

If you cannot tell by this point I am starting to run out of ideas for the title of these things, but at this point, I am too deep into this process to stop. It’s like… I don’t regret it?
