Escape from Blackwood Manor Dev Log 9th August 2026 (Patreon)

Hey all, here's the Developers log for what I've been up to this week and its been pretty hectic, lots has been worked on and things are progressing really well

I'll start off with the main one, Character Animations, our heroine now has 392 separate animation frames for different actions/emotions/mannerisms and also how tied up she is, and [CENSORED] has 87 total frames, I could say who it is but I don't want to reveal too much about the story or character yet since the fun will be finding out about them and their personalities in game

So to go with these animation frames is all the Dialogue I've been working on and holy crap there's a lot, since there multiple choices for things to say this really piles up, but it's been incredibly fun to work on and I've really enjoyed trying to come up with somewhat realistic/believable dialogue for character interactions between two people who quite honestly are pretty different from each other. I wont spoil anything but its gonna get a little spicy, seriously i wrote [CENSORED] to be a real piece of work

In addition to this there's a lot of odd sound effects and such you might not think about, such as getting a sound for opening a water bottle, dropping ropes, continuous loud vibrations that have to sound like they're coming through a wall, you get the point its a lot of things that need to be done to make it all feel alive in a sense, and I'll need a lot more too so much more coming

On top of that i also showed off the Escape Minigames for Lock and also for Rope (Sponsors/patrons only for that one), I'll include a link below if you missed them

These are still a work in progress since the background aren't animated, there's no ambiance/music and there's a lot of sprite work that needs working on but for the most part they work mechanically, Also since there are different minigames (unless you have DiD mode turned on, but ill get to that at another point in the future) they all need custom sprites and UI assets to match the theme, for example for the lock escape minigame there's a padlock which has a rotating dial as you do the minigame and the lock opens when the 2nd part of the minigame starts, see the video for a good idea of what I'm talking about, but since i spend most of my time making Kinky images making a padlock is a little out of left field for me, (also all the ground and wall tile sprites)

Also there's a note at the bottom, the Demo will actually be pretty long i believe but most of the area's and content is made for it, so for the next few weeks I think i will get everything polished and add in all the missing assets and such as well as music/ambiance and with good luck get it finally ready for release so you can see what I've been working on all this time and play it for yourself

That's all for now, will be another mid week update maybe on some of the dialogue or on a different escape minigame section, leave a comment below if you have a preference i guess, will also do a pinup series for my sponsors and patrons so if you have a preference for that too let me know, I was also considering doing a Q&A at some point for Patrons and Sponsors, there's a lot of questions I get so might be good to air everything I know about the games development, take care and see you next week
