Development Update: October 2nd, 2023

Coding and Stuff

We had our monthly team meeting today, and things are going shockingly well. I need 2 or 3 more sprite sheets and I will have all the art I need for chapter 1’s update. As such we discussed plans for the chapter 5 update. I was thinking we’d finish 55’s Sundress costume and possibly give SX-399 a costume since she needs some love, on top of getting the new TF for Christine of course.

I have fixed most of the remaining chapter 1 bugs and also added some new stuff (it’s now possible to “complete” the rubber questline by getting a sample for Polaris) and am going to now update the modkit. I’m adding some useful backend stuff like tracking which mods are active in savefiles to prevent loading conflicts, and if I’m really feeling gutsy, I might even do mod load priorities.

More Chapter 3 Concepting!

As a continuation of the chapter 3 concepts I asked BlueLily to make, here we have the current head of House Red, Canella de Cuorelli. Driven, ruthless, and a massive bully, Canella got where she is by always being willing to stoop lower and be more brutal than everyone else. Her House supports her because she kills people who are a problem, and humiliates anyone who might be a problem.

But what’s with the rubber fox suit? Okay there’s a lot of possibilities for how chapter 3 unfolds but BlueLily really likes the quest ideas where the party turns people into various monsters in order to get rid of them and who doesn’t love rubber fox outfits?

And here’s the not-rubbered Angeline de Insiati, current head of House Yellow. The youngest official head in the House’s centuries-long history, Angeline is part of a new wave of inventor politicians. In fact, she bit off more than she can chew, and hates having to sit in parliament because it keeps her out of the workshop!

Do not underestimate her. She may be young, but she sees the world clearly and will protect her House and its members from the machinations of the other Houses. If that means lobbing metaphorical bombs instead of literal ones, so be it.

Yes, she is allows to keep the arcanomechanical limbs in parliament. No the cannon is not allowed to be loaded.

Next week, we get to see the invaders who recently conquered the city. Look forward to it!

Fan Art

This week, db-palette made some fan transformations for Witch Hunter Izana! You can find the originals on his Deviantart.

First up we have the Shadow form. I love a good goopy TF.

And here we have a silver TF! Caelyn happily grips the blade of the sword since her hands are metal, right? If you liked these, go check out db-palette’s other work. I know I have, who would have thought an artist I’ve followed for years would play my silly old game.

Curious Cat

There were so many questions this week that I didn’t even answer some and am going to do them in next week’s post. Hope you like pop culture stuff.
