Progress Log 1/28/19 - Punish Mode, New Toys and New CG! (Patreon)

January has pretty much come and gone and we’ve had a hectic month. Let’s talk about what’s going on at Tentakero HQ.

Room 3:

Those of you that tried out the Unstable Build got a glimpse of the punish mode mechanic in its earliest stage. We’ve been taking some time to polish this mechanic and here’s how it’s going to work. The idea for punish mode has been reworked somewhat in an effort to keep Room 3 fresh and different from the other two rooms.

If the player manages to keep arousal at x5 for over 10 seconds, these lovely hentacles will appear along with the punish mode button.

The scene will change when punish mode is activated and give an alternate angle of the characters.

Doku is working on special hand drawn animations for the insertion, thrusting and climax!

The bar along the bottom of the screen will slide towards the left and players will have to time the punish button clicks in order to activate the next step of a special animation. There are a total of 3 steps, one for each hentacle and we’re hoping to have these fully done and in game before the 1st. The more we think about it, Punish Mode may end up being renamed to something different since there isn't too much punishment going on there and it's more about the awesome tentacle animations.

New Toys:

While waiting for some artwork from Doku, I went ahead and implemented the Nipple Piercings and the Flogger Toy

Piercings are similar in function to the clothing pins with a more punk/goth look. The flogger on the other hand is a little more in depth.

Using the flogger on various body parts will cause them to turn reddish the more you use it. You’ll have to be sure that you use it sparingly because overdoing it will leave a mark for the remainder of the session and lock the arousal rate at a low level. (This varies by girl since characters like Cerise tend to be a little masochistic.) In the example above, the left thigh has been flogged and will slowly return to it's normal color, whereas the right has gone beyond the limit.

The exact shape and color of the marks is still being tweaked since we don't want them to be too prominent.

Body parts that respond to flogging are the Thighs, Legs, Feet, Belly, Breasts and Crotch. Colette is an exception and her legs do not react from the knee down because ya know, they're wooden. Oh! And don't use it on the face! There's no character that enjoys that and it'll instantly reduce arousal. Major boner kill.

Story CGs:

In our last progress log, we talked about the two CG’s that Doku had in the works, however, there’s been a third one added to the mix for Mira’s route. This third CG will show up when she invites you to shower with her!

With that said, here’s what the next art package will contain.

Sophie Captured CG

Colette Captured CG

Mira Shower CG

Sexy Witch Cerise Gallery Art (With Topless Variant)

Hentacle Animation for Mira (Pending and not confirmed yet!)

Voice Acting Progress:

Last but not least, we’re still looking for voice actresses! We haven’t received many auditions so we’ll be doing a second push of the casting call and may have to extend the time frame a bit. If you know of anyone that’s into voice acting, please let them know about our casting call!

That's all we've got for now! The work doesn't stop on our end and we're hyped to bring you guys the new punish mode mechanic!

P.S.: Forgot to mention some small trivia. The flogging sound effect was made by slapping myself several times in the face and adding some effects. -Vanis
