🔨 What We're Working On Before the Demo Drops

Hey everyone—here’s a behind-the-scenes look at what’s still in progress as we push toward the Harvesting Corruption playable demo. This list includes everything we need to finish before release, from gameplay systems to cinematic trailers. It’s a lot—but we’re close.

🎮 Gameplay Systems (Built by Hunter)

These systems are what make the demo actually playable. We’re going for more than just a walking sim—this will have real interaction and choice.

• ✅ Store System
  Buy items by walking up to the clerk, adding to cart, and paying at checkout.

• ✅ Farming System (Core Loop)
  Plant crops, water them, harvest, earn money, create special concoctions.

• ✅ Sex Scene System
  Includes animated loops, position switching, cum meter, and exit control.

• 🛏️ Bunkbed Interaction
  Click a bed to Rest (advance time), Sleep (advance day), Masturbate (play scene), or Do Nothing.

• 🗨 Dialogue System
  Lets you have full branching conversations with NPCs like Carter and Annika.

• 👟 Footstep SFX
  Dynamic sound effects that change based on the surface you walk on.

• 🦶 Smart Foot Pose System
  Feet adjust depending on footwear: barefoot, shoes, or heels.

• ⏰ Day/Night Cycle
  Time progresses naturally with lighting and ambience changes.

• 🎯 Darts Mini-Game
  Fully mouse-driven mini-game to show off interactivity.

• 🔁 Smooth Turning Movement
  Adds polish and realism to player movement.

🎬 Characters, Visuals, and Trailer Content (Built by Nuverotic)

While the gameplay systems are being built, I’m handling everything visual and cinematic—from character animation to trailer editing.

• 👤 Rebuilding All Characters
  Includes hair, outfits, and physics on clothing, breasts, and butts.

• 🎞 Intro Cinematic
  A fully animated opening sequence recreating the visual novel’s intro in Unreal Engine.

• 🎬 Three Trailers Being Cut

  • Story Trailer (emotional/atmospheric)

  • Gameplay Trailer (features in action)

  • Systems Trailer (showing off what’s under the hood)
    These all feed into...

  • The Main Marketing Trailer (a blend of the three)

• 🧍‍♀️ Custom Control Rig for Annika
  Needed to animate everything by hand.

• ✨ Niagara FX
  Real-time pee and cum effects—because of course.

• 🚿 Shower + Toilet Interactions
  Showers check if you're dirty. Toilets check if you need to pee.

• 🎥 Animations (Handmade for Demo)

  • Peeing

  • Showering (wash, idle, and masturbation)

  • Thinking/look-at reactions

  • Full 5-phase bed masturbation sequence

    Yoga System tied to Sneak Points

• 🎧 Audio & Voice

  • Ambience SFX for cabins and environment

  • Object sounds (doors, interactions)

  • Main menu music

  • Voiceovers for dialogue scenes

• 🏞 Level Design
  I’m building and decorating 5 areas:

  • School exterior

  • Mom’s kitchen

  • Dorm room

  • Forest highway

  • Brooks Ranch (main location)
