LIFEFORM: ECSTASY [2026.09.02] (Patreon)

【August Development Update and September Release Plan】

I originally hoped to finish the dating feature preview by the end of August. However, the dialogue, choices, and event sequences are not fully organized yet, and there are still some essential foundations I need to improve before it reaches the basic form I have in mind.

Instead of rushing out something incomplete, I’ve decided to split this update into two stages.

For now, I’m sharing a partial feature preview featuring some of the interaction features completed during August.

【八月開發進度與九月更新安排】

原本希望能在八月底完成約會展示，不過目前約會需要的對話、選項和演出流程還沒有全部整理完成，距離我預期的雛形，還有ㄧ些必要的基礎要做好一點。

與其趕著放出不完整的內容，我決定把這部分的更新分成兩個階段：

現在先放出一部分的功能展示，是八月完成的一些互動功能。

In addition to having the lifeform’s eyes follow the mouse, as shown in the previous preview, her eyes can now blink naturally. I also plan to add subtle expression changes, such as a gentle, natural smile.

上次的展示除了眼神會跟隨滑鼠以外，生命體的眼睛也會自然地眨眼，還有預計表情會自然微笑之類的淺淺變化。

I’m also planning to add a dialogue system for conversations with the lifeforms. I’ve implemented a typewriter-style text effect and controls for the lifeform’s expressions.

At the moment, this part is mainly focused on changing the shape of her mouth. There is no voice audio yet, but having her mouth move helps make it feel more like she is actually talking to the player.

還有到時候預計添加對話系統和生命體對話，做了文字逐字的顯示還有生命體的表情控制，目前這裡主要是做生命體的嘴形變化，雖然現在還沒有聲音，但是嘴巴會動比較像是跟玩家對話。

The lifeform can also follow the player’s instructions and move together with them.

生命體也會跟隨玩家的指示移動，讓她隨著玩家一起移動。

One of my supporters previously suggested the idea of controlling interactions with both hands at the same time. I thought it sounded interesting, so I decided to try making it.

上次有個贊助者說，提到雙手一起控制的想法，我認為挺有趣的，所以試著弄出來了。

I also added a feature that allows the player to grab and pull her feet.

以及做了可以拉腳的功能。

I spent more time in August building the foundations for the interaction and expression features. I ended up wanting to add more things than expected, which meant that the dating feature was not completed within the original schedule. I think it will need to be delayed a little longer.

I plan to organize the updates shown above into a demo build before September 10. If I have enough time, I may also add a few smaller features and finishing touches. Some of the controls are still a little experimental, but I hope to keep improving them over time.

During the second half of September, I plan to release some of the completed dating-feature sequences so everyone can see how the dialogue, choices, and character performances work together.

This will not be the full release of the dating feature. I’ll be sharing the completed parts in stages while continuing to develop and refine the remaining content.

I’m sorry that this update will arrive later than originally planned, and thank you for your patience. Once everything is organized, I’ll share more details and screenshots.

八月花了比較多時間在互動功能和表情功能打基礎，結果想加的東西有點多，導致原本計畫的約會功能沒有在預期內完成，我認為這可能要再延一下。

上述的更新，我預計10號前整理出一個展示板，如果有時間可能還會加一點小功能來潤飾，雖然有些部分的操作有點實驗性質，但我希望可以持續進步。

到了九月下半，我預計再放出約會功能中已經完成的一些流程，讓大家實際看看對話、選項和角色演出會如何運作。

這次並不是完整的約會功能正式推出，而是先分階段展示目前已經做好的部分。剩下的內容也會繼續製作和調整。

很抱歉這次比原先預計的時間將會晚了一些，也謝謝大家願意繼續等待。我會在整理好後，再補上更詳細的說明與畫面。
