Still here, still jamming

I'm still around, and I'm still doing art and game dev stuff. Haven't had much time to blog lately.

Four months, three game jams

I haven't really been working on the vore VN much, because I've been spending my time on shorter game jam projects instead. I did one for June, one for July, and I'm working on another one right now that finishes at the end of September.

In June I made Meet Me in the Dungeon, Sir Knight! for NSFW MiniJam #6, a 9 day jam. The theme of the jam was "Lock and Key". In the game you play as a knight who sneaks into the castle dungeons for a late-night secret rendezvous with the princess. Unfortunately, the entire place is filled with block pushing puzzles, and the princess's maid tries to stop you at every turn.

• A puzzle from Meet Me in the Dungeon, Sir Knight! The knight is surrounded by crates, holes in the ground, and locked doors.
• A digital painting of the princess. She is lifting her skirt to reveal a chastity belt.

In July I made Tropical Trader for NSFW MiniJam #7. This time, the theme was "Island". You play as a trader who sails around between settlements, trading goods and trying to make a profit. However, the traders are pretty demanding in their evaluations, and so you often have to sweeten the deal by offering sex. As you improve your relationship with the traders, they'll come to value sex with you at a higher price. Eventually you can find ways to increase your libido, allowing you to have sex more times per day. There's a progressive bukkake sequence for each trader, covering them with more and more cum each time you bed them on the same day.

• Trading with Lizbeth in Mango Village. Lizbeth is topless and covered in cum from having had sex five times.

Currently, I'm working on a game for Lewdie Jam 2, which was originally scheduled to end at the end of August but is now running through September. My game is tentatively titled "Healing from the Heart", and has you playing as a healer in an adventuring party, exploring dungeons. Combat in dungeons is focused mainly on dodging AOEs, in the style of Final Fantasy XIV. The game's big twist is that in this universe, the effectiveness of healing magic is directly tied to the strength of the relationship between the healer and the patient, and so they're all working to strengthen their bonds and have promised not to get jealous of each other once the relationships turn sexual. I'm also planning some sort of transformation sequence for each party member, as they all discover that the healer is able to reshape them and not simply mend their wounds.

• Rose and Anna go on a date in the library in Healing from the Heart. The place isn't busy, so Anna isn't shy about undressing. Rose hasn't worked up the courage yet.
• An in-progress screenshot of the dungeon-crawling elements. Enemies can spawn AOE attacks, and party members are smart enough to dodge them.

The future

Once Lewdie Jam is complete, I plan to spend October working on the vore VN. I think I'll be able to get a lot done; it's pretty much just art left to do at this point. In November, I might take a break from it to try NaNoWriMo again, but we'll see how I'm feeling at that time.
