Centaur reveal + Devlog #137 + Illustration poll #11 is on! (Patreon)

Centaur girl! ^^Very cute! Her mods were Racing queen, Quadruple booba, Slosh. All pretty obvious, not much to explain there!This one's design actually stunlocked me for a while...! First of all, I don't really know anything about horses. And then, the multiboob mod was also pretty tough because I didn't just want her to wear two bras, I wanted something a bit more interesting!Centaurs also feel pretty imposing usually to me, and I was stuck with generic ideas until I figured, "why not small?", which unlocked everything! And when I say small, I do mean small. In that she's about the size of a big horse, from Fairy's perspective ^^Then after a lot of research and trial and error, I eventually came up with a nice pose (which Chitei once again vastly improved!) and clothes I was satisfied with. And lil stars everywhere!I'm very happy with how she came out, Chitei once again nailed it including the horse parts which I was pretty worried about!I hope you'll like her ^^

Here are all the monstergirl ranks (BOOBS!!!):

Rank 1

Rank 2

Rank 3

Rank 4

Rank 5

I have done pretty much nothing other than work on this secret new feature! The good news is that the main gameplay loop is now done. Many parts gave me a lot of trouble, it's a pretty unique thing with a bunch of moving bits and bobs, but it works!!! I now need to clean it up, polish a few rough spots, add pretty particles and effects and SFX, and then commission some art and music for it...! I expect that minus the commission aspects, I'll be done in a couple weeks.The bad news is that I have very little little to actually share once again, sorry about that...

What I can do however is share a TODO list, I realized I didn't do that last time! Here is roughly what I have planned for the BE update (in no particular order):

- Secret feature: main gameplay loop

- Secret feature: polishing

- Improved Soul drop system

- Improved Shape fight drops

- Improved spell related system

- Improved eaten food check function

- Improved item description system

- Improved "?" menu button system

- Improved Almanach system (visually the same for you, easier to work with for me)

- New Almanach entries

- New sub quests

- Witch swap related improvements

- More SFX improvements and audio balancing

- Hold a button to keep moving in a direction

- Unique skills for all characters

- Better balancing

- Add some illustrations in game (including some of the ones that have been voted on!)

- Ability to rewatch and skip rank up animations

- More settings (including some accessibility settings)

- Funnee

- Ability to ignore fights if that enemy has been defeated enough times

- Another surprise (actually mostly done already)

- A little bit more story content

- Rework the deungeon ocean

- Small Biscotti tunnel modifications

- Various small exploration related improvements

- Texture prefetch/ flush improvements (optimization)

- Write new party events

- Add more party events

- Write some rank up events

- Add rank up events

- Draw the remaining demo chibis (Tiger, Hydra, Dragon, Axelle, Saen'Liz)

- Implement the new chibis

- Various smaller improvements

Quite a few things! Some easier than others. The idea for this next update is to finalize 99% of the game systems and make the demo as presentable as possible so I can then purely focus on adding more content. I'm very satisfied with my progress so far considering this secret feature is the biggest chunk on this list, but I'm not sure I'll be able to stick to a 2026 release as I hoped... We'll see how fast I can cross out all that stuff. Like in the past, there will be time when a bunch of tasks get crossed out at once, and others like in this devlog where only a few get taken care of. These tasks are very much not equal after all...!This is something I should have shared last time, my bad! But yeah, this is the plan ^^

As far as IRL stuff goes for me, things have been going well overall, and I can finally see the finish line for some annoying but necessary stuff that's been slowly happening for over a year now. It'll be great not to have to think about that stuff anymore!Also, I've taken some time to cook and made some nice pizzas.

And that's all for now! Just one more lil surprise at the end.

And now, the poll stuff!

The next illustration poll has begun! The theme this time is [Sleeping]! One character round, one Angle/POV round, and one Outfit round! ^^You can vote in the Discord server if you are a 2$+ patron! Here are the current theme and submissions: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Drz4UD09YftgaihcwWq6McqiFTa2l77XJ9oBJ0hfDco

No more Vuudles for now, but since there was interest in my design prototypes before, I'll start sharing these!Keep in mind that these are just concept pics, it's not rare for the pose and design to evolve further during the commission! I also draw these at a very low resolution and the quality isn't the highest, so don't expect anything crazy...!

I actually shared this one on Discord before so sorry if you've already seen it, though I've also included a lineart version anda rough clotheless version. I'll probably stick to this format in the future ^^

Thank you for reading!Bye :B
