Another four months of development have passed! We'll have a broad strokes end of dev year six post sometime in the next few days, but here we'll cover where we focused on things recently. As for batches of backdrop illustrations from Basem we kept to themes each month, with past scene time variations in December, Megan's car in January, Bathroom/Restrooms in February, and Convention Upper Level additions in March.

YeMcBear has sped up her work frequency! We used to expect 4 orders from her each month, but lately that average has jumped to 6.5! We've used that extra slack to have her race through populating the remaining empty backdrops with crowds, and have her tailoring the main cast and side characters into specific story scenes.

With Goorie we've continued last dev block's trend of ensuring at least one animation each month is focusing on content for the Friday night truth or dare game. We have Brian pulling Kelly's top down (will be part of the extended massage dare sequence), Kelly smooching and licking Steph's neck, Steph removing her panties, Kelly removing a sock, and Kelly teasing Brian's lap! We also got in super cute animations of Steph chewing, did a quick butt jiggle one for her, and then invested more work into stuff for the Megan route.

Our new artist moonlighting as our second animator is Bao! His style isn't an exact 1:1 match for Goorie, but he does excellent work and we'll squeeze in occasional orders from him whenever we don't have him working on cover illustrations for the books. Bao is an expert at both gorgeous leggy pin up art and NSFW game animations, you can find his work by searching up the game Tentacles Thrive.

Things haven't gone as stellar with TennesseeFlores this dev block; she submitted four tracks and I had to outright reject two of them, while a third is having its lyrics reworked. She never does bad work, but her creative process requires a lot more freedom and flexibility, and sometimes that starts to stray away from what we can use for the game.

The track we kept is Moonlit (hit play at the top of this post) and is a pretty outstanding vibe piece. The track getting new lyrics is Bluey the Jazz Man, we're flipping it to Bluey the Jazz Gal, because it can be an obvious better thematic fit for Emily sequences. Hollow Echoes was intended to be a gripping introspective piece, but her take on it skewed off directly towards ambient horror, and then her first take on a sexy Kelly track Falling Stars didn't have a sound that aligned well with Kelly. Sometimes things just don't work out! But we will try again until they do.

Below is a total progress recap of all of the visual work done for this four month dev block, way, way busier than usual here!
