Itch has reindexed all the free adult games in search, although ones that were permanently removed, such as Goblin Hive, remain gone. There's still no response to my support email about that. It's really frustrating to have my game taken down for a completely unspecified rule violation when there are tons of obvious rule-breakers on the front page. Life isn't fair, I guess.

The VN

I didn't manage to get all the art done on the vore game last month, but I'm chugging along at around 2 or 3 drawings a day. It doesn't feel impossible anymore. I'm sticking with a simple flat-color 1080p style with no brush dynamics. It's basically one step up Maid Cafe Fashion Disaster art-wise.

• Gina the delivery girl stands in the doorway, holding a pizza delivery from "Big P's Za". Her massive breasts rest atop the pizza box.
• Gina and the protagonist lie naked together on the couch after a round of lovemaking. They are smiling at each other.

I'm getting near the end of the art needed for the "Broodmother" ending, although I might redraw a few pieces because I think I went a bit too crazy with the cumflation early on. Feels like there's no room left to escalate in the epilogue.

Honestly the VN engine I've developed in the course of this is really slick, and I might use it for future projects as well. It's not fully featured, but it does what I need it to. It would even be possible to have a single runtime for the VN interpreter and separate PCKs for each VN, or patch/DLC loading. I might wind up doing something like that to have a more vanilla version of the game hosted on itch, with a spicier patch hosted elsewhere. With how inconsistent itch's rule enforcement is, I have no idea if vore with digestion would suddenly count as breaking their terms of service.

The future

As always, I have more ideas than time. I still want to get back to captioned illustrations, particularly the elf pregnancy stuff. Those were really fun to write.

I have a few game ideas bouncing around my skull as well:

• Another game with Melody and Sharon, where you play as Sharon and try to take control of the city. You buy up property, run for office, cash in favors, get on the board of directors at various companies, and so on. Other powerful figures in the city will oppose you as you encroach on their territory. But you'll own them too eventually. Gameplay-wise I imagine it would be some kind of top-down turn-based strategy thing.
• A reimagining of Goblin Hive. Drop the Dwarf Fortress gameplay and make it more of that stuff happen in the background, like an idle game. Focus more on the breeding simulator parts with a more sophisticated model of genetics and evolution.
• A daily life and dating sim in the same style as Ultimate Pleasure Cruise, but with 3d environments. The characters would still be 2D standees probably. A town with a procedurally-generated population for you to get to know, and various daily activities to perform.
