All the things.



Votes after Patreon reflected same result, with Shilleka being 32 ahead of Korra. 

This will be the first time I'm not already familiar with the winning character, but I like her design. It's also a good fit for pixel art because of the constrained proportions.

Weekly animations, still playing catch up

Still playing catch up with the weekly animations. Like last week, the Fio animation will be a day or two late.

Just thought I'd make some points clear about the animations, and also why Flash was slowing me down.

1. I'm animating them with GM and Aseprite. I'm not animating them in Flash. I'm putting them into Flash to control animation speed, and how many times each part of the animation loops.

2. From Flash, I can export as a GIF and as a SWF (with controls and sound). Once I'm back on track, I'll be exporting each weekly animation as both. they won't just be SWFs,

3. I'm only using Flash because it allows me to export as a SWF, which can be shared and embedded as one file. Otherwise I'd just use GM to do HTML 5.

4. What I'm struggling to get to work in flash is randomized sound, with the following elements
- Random volume within a range
- Random pitch within a range
- Random sound, from a selection

This is so I can apply H-sounds quickly, and in a way that isn't too repetitive.

The programmer who's is helping me out was able to write a script that accomplishes all three, however there was strange distortion that some people experienced on browsers. So, I gave up on pitch, which caused the distortion, but I'm still trying to get it working with just volume. I've wasted a lot of the time I had to animate trying to get some of these things to work, without much luck. However I want to get it done, because once it's done I won't need to do it again.

Some things to note about Noaika

Since I've only talked about Noaika in the comments, I'll mention a few things here,

Noaika is a much larger project than when it began. It hasn't just been just another Eroico-sized game taking longer for no reason.

I'm focusing a lot on H-animation, and incorporating a lot of the H-content into gameplay. There are a few things that can change about the protagonist during H-animations and through other means that remain consistent during gameplay and on all other H-animations. To give an example, there are ways to change the protagonist's breast size (Though I'm thinking about making that an option from the beginning). There are also other physical traits that can change, which means variations of every H-animation.

About 35% of the way through making the game (A while after the demo, and before I had done many H-animations), there was also a graphical shift. The sprites are higher resolution than the sprites in the demo; just under twice the height. When I decided that I needed to spend more time on H-animations and make them more than just loop>loop faster > climax, I also decided that I needed better sprites to work with. (Remember the comic with Eroico and big heads? -__-).

Lastly, I don't show stuff off because for the amount of time that it's taking, I would eventually have to show a lot of content. I prefer to keep things in the dark so that when players play the game, they experience it all for the first time, without any pre-conceptions. However, I will be showing off some screenshots soon since it's been so long. There are two things I want to finish before I do, though, so I can be sure I'm not showing off something that eventually gets cut.

And yes I had health issues for quite a few months after the demo, and yes some of them are still slowing me down, though less than before. But EVERYONE has health issues, so this isn't worth any pity.

Next character vote, other stuff

You can vote for the next character now. Rules are

-One character per suggestion
-No character's from last week's poll
-Write "Vote:" before your comment so I know the difference between a vote and comments about the scene, should you do both in different comments

I have the following to do in the coming weeks.
-Animation tutorial
-Extra animation
-Image draw

I'll be getting to those when I can, which will be once I've caught up with my animation a bit more.
I also want to make a better page for animations, since the current one sucks.


Anyhow, that's all for now.

  10. OH MY GOD SHILLEKA ACTUALLY WON?! YES! Good work everyone~ I didn't think she would be popular enough to get picked.

    About her character: She is the owner of a store where players can get their equipment from. She has a very amiable personality. "In the original Japanese, Shilleka has a verbal tic which is supposed to be similar to American 'valley girls'. In the english version it's a vaguely Caribbean accent."

    Replies
    1. There is, because, because I animated the base sprites flat-chested so that any breast size could be layered on top of it.

      Aseprite should make the process a bit easier from here on out since it has layers. The way I was doing it before was a bit slow.

    3. Vote. Come on, actually make use of the facts that the animation loops.

      Delete
    4. Then you should've posted it earlier, rumpelking. And if Ky is using a program that allows it, he could chance in the real Misaka and even Last Order. Like 80% chance Sister, 10% chance real Misaka and 10% chance Last Order.

      Delete
    5. I was sleeping when the vote started, else I would.

      Also, Last Order would complicate things a bit too much for animation, since she looks too different (also, she's too young ffs). With real Misaka he could just change the eyes and make her look pissed. So more realistic version would be that each fifth one or so to be Mikoto....

      Delete
    6. Vote. Strictly speaking, all the sisters are biologically very young ^^ But I agree with rumpelking's tastes.

      Delete
    7. Yeah, Last Order looks too different. But Misaka is 14, Last Order looks like Misaka at 10 (would technically be only a few years old like the Sisters) and all Pokémon trainers are supposed to be 10. So Last Order is not too young. Well...it depends on who your asking...

  22. i would totally agree with your decision to keep the stealthcloak on!
    First of all its wiser on its own. i also dont like early access because in my opinion its "soup without beeing salted"
    You get the first experience and save it in your mind but its about 30-70% worse than it would be at its release time
    yes there are good things about early access, gamer makers can check how well the game will be received by the community and thats actually a really valually information (also its tons of playtesting and so on) but i think its better to dont do that. its more like slight desperation which good game producer dont need
    It takes very long? im still fine with that, a diamand needs time to create and if its supposed to become a diamand you cant force the process to go faster :D

    ReplyDelete
  23. Yay, Shilleka!

  26. Twice the original size? That's insane, Ky. Wouldn't that also involve scrapping ALL your stage work? Since the sprites are now larger? Or is the game just more crampt. (Which would actually be kindof neat.) Or did you just scale the world up twice as much?

    I'm half excited with these new developments, but at the same time just about as disappointed. Since there's no way scrapping all the art you'd worked on up until (I assume recently?) won't delay the project by another ridiculous amount of time.

    Before people get up in arms about "Leave ky alone!" I think his work is golden, I'm more excited about his sprite-based H-game than most Triple-A releases, and that says a LOT for the quality and potential the man has. You should be damned proud of that.

    At the same time, we are approaching our anniversary for the Pre-Order. And that's just the pre-order, not even the beginning of development.

    Is there any way you could provide at least a ballpark? I know you hate giving dates, because people start to EXPECT things; but you could at least give us a QUARTER to start looking forward to, no? Q4 2015? Q1 2016? Q4 2016?

    On an another topic: I wish your Patreon was more focused on your games and not these weekly animations. Or at least PARTLY attached to the games. I want to support your game development, not random sprite porn. (As quality as it is.)

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Well, the change in resolution was quite a while ago. Like I said, it was before I did many H-animations at all, though there was quite a bit that was scrapped.

      Tilesets didn't really need to be changed at the time since nothing was dependent on the size of the player. As for the layout, the physics of the player didn't change a huge amount, so I only had to make minor adjustments. However, as I began to include other elements, I eventually ended up changing a lot about the beginning area, so there isn't much left of it anymore. (By the end I may just replace it, since it feels a little out of place now.)

      The Patreon can't be attached to the games because I wouldn't want it's content to be affected by anything. Even if I did a Patreon for it, I wouldn't have anything to offer beyond getting the game when it comes out, since I don't like exclusive demos, or locking content behind paywalls. There wouldn't be a reason to deal with Patreon.

      Delete
    2. "quite a bit that was scrapped" no kidding, but does this mean that all the sprites we saw in the demo are replaced? the monsters too? cause that (I imagine) is indeed a lot of work.

      Delete
  27. So are any of the physical changes that can happen permanent? I hope they aren't. It'd kind of feel like I was missing out on content, I'm the kind of player that likes to be able to see everything in one run of the game. Is that possible?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. No, everything can be reversed in one way or another.

      It should be possible. I'm that sort of player too. Even in cases were it normally wouldn't be possible, I would probably include new game+, or some-kind of timeline option that lets you revert to decision points.

      Delete
    2. I, on the other hand would be all for permanent changes that you could reverse by you own decision.

      Example: To undo breast expansion, you have to hook yourself up to a milking machine.

      That would present in an interesting dilemma for the character: What is more embarrassing, to stay like this, or to undergo the procedure that removes it :)

      Delete
    3. There's a lot of stuff in the game that involves doing something strange to obtain it, but once you've done it once you can acquire the means to basically equip it/unequip it. (In some cases from a menu, in other cases from devices.)

      Pregnancy will be visible on the player. Like a few other things, I'm going to include an option to disable it's visibility, though, since I know there are people who would be put off by it. And the visibility option won't have any impact on how some of the mechanics work.

    Could that possibly include some controlling devices? I've been really immersed into this game "The Girl in the Red Slave Collar" lately. It is - who would imagine :D - about this girl with a magic slave collar fighting in a coliseum. I think I have a new fave fetish, so just askin. :D

    1. Well, I don't think there will be anything like that in Noaika, but there's always other games.

    2. Sweet, even a consideration of something like that in future games is more than I'd ask for :)

    3. Yup, enslavement in games is always fun, as is anything that is more then the just standard fucking right on the spot, as compared with something more permanent like being captured and having to escape with increasing punishment if caught >_< Be it a bondage dungeon or a monster lair ^__^

      Don't know if it wouldn't require more dialogue than your standard Kyrieru fare though.

    4. Well, I wasn’t talking about the protagonist being captured (might like it too though, seems to go hand in hands). Just about having something on her that could inflict "punishment" at any time and/or robbing her of her will...

    5. Any supernatural hijinks aside, even stuck in bondage gear with arms shackled behind her back would be awfully hot :3

      I'm more curious about whether there can be many modification of the sexy kind besides breast size and pregnancy...

    6. Clothing damage? Piercings? (wishful thinking)

      Delete
    7. You can lose your armor, but I don't think there will be clothing damage, in any other sense.

      As for body modification, there are a few other things that can happen to you you, but not all of them can be taken anywhere in the game. There are only a few basic modifications that happen that effect all H-animations.

    8. Hmmm, a game with metroidvania-like gameplay but with scenes like rpgmaker hentai games. Does anyone know about any such game please? Would certainly play the shit out of that ^__^

      btw: slave mind control all the way, that shit can make even the command "Sit" sexy

    9. Not really, though if I remember correctly, Noaika will have some story events and also capture by enemies.

      Vosmug's games(one finished, one in making) also have some story H, although all of those are linear story stuff, at least in the one he already made.

    11. What a nice speculative thread you people started here :D Nice to see some enthusiasm for Noaika and actual games, especially compared to the negativism in the most current update's comment section :)

      Ky probably has his own plans for future games already, but I personally like most of the above. Maybe some of it we could see partially adopted :P

    12. I prefer the sci-fi setting of Noaika 100% over those overused generic fantasy settings. But who knows, maybe after a exhasuting myself with the ride that Noaika is undoubtedly going to be, perhaps a change of setting would be nice. I liked Eroico, but frankly I'm not too much into the whole monster girl thing, so having a GOR game with a female protagonist like Noaika but in D&D kind of setting might be interesting. You know, magic, bandits and slavers, mythical creatures, you name it. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Noaika comes first + I'm curious about Kyrieru's own plans most and foremost. Mostly about the game he plans to stream himself making (Something he mentioned and I'm veeeery interested in).

    13. To thread creator: That game you mention has an in progress english translation on ULMF under the title Akakubi Arena, if you didn't know.

      I think that the premise of a slave arena lends itself nicely for a smaller game project, since there is little to do with designing the world, you could just concentrate on arena enemies and bosses and on some sweet H during and after the fight >_> Just add some shop to buy upgrades and you got all that it needs. Rancor as the final boss optional >_>

      Oh, something crazy just came to me. Maybe you could make it an ongoing project with bosses by fetishes they cover being voted in a Patreon you now do with weekly animations. Ok, that is totes cray-cray probably, so I'm leaving now -__-

      Delete
    14. Honestly, I've thought of doing some kind of on-going game, but I don't know if it would be a Patreon thing, or just something for the fun of it. But the concept would have to be something that works well for adding content regularly.

      Delete
    15. Well, a game based on just adding new Megaman type of bosses in an arena with some minimalist overarching story could possibly work like that in my mind. Regular updates could be like quests in VH (which is not a good example, because it's in development hell but YKWIM). Maybe it could have some small town/arena area to explore if you wanted to add additional context to the fights or some out of arena content. As a player, you either beat a new opponent by knowing their weakness or get screwed for trying without figuring them out first. You could be made to face various things in the arena - normal gladiators, horny beasts, humiliating traps for the enjoyment of the crowd, cheating nobles who entered the arena already assured they get what they want either way... But you're the man, you know whether you like or not, I'm just speculating what I might find hot >_>

    16. Well, the problem with my ideas is that I don't really want to do something arena esque. I'd want to do say, something like Rune Factory, some kind of Rogue-Lite. However, both require a certain amount of content to be playable in the beginning.

      The other option would be to make it a simple setting (small village, school, etc) and make it more about individual events, with no main story.

      Another option would be...literally base the story around the idea that not much exists yet, and things are slowly coming into existence. Such as a village that only has two people to begin with, and make it so each day in-game, a new house is added. (For as many that exist.)

      Delete
    17. I like arena subplots in h-games but I also would not make a whole game out of it.

      What you're writing depends on what you mean, after a new update I see no sense in limiting entrance to a newly added house/dungeon unless there is story or progression reason.

      Etrian Odyssey (the game from which you're doing the animation of Shilleka) has this nice system of stratums, where you delve deeper and deeper into a dungeon, and as you go the dungeon radically changes because magic. There are also shortcuts once you reach a certain floor. Spelunky has something similar. Never played Rune Factory unfortunately :( I gather that you'd recommend it since you take it as inspiration :) At the end of the floor you could just put a broken bridge (cave-in, adventurer saying it is not safe to venture further yet, whatever).

      Delete
    18. Ho ho ho :3 Spelunky would indeed be great thing to build off of. Levels divided into floors. Enemy h-scenes. H for defeat on each floor. Rescuing captured girls to regain hearts (some yuri at exit of floor starting from kisses like in original game).

      First level - bandit hideout, bondage
      Second level - catacombs - trolls, undead, ghosts...
      Third level - jungle, animals, cavemen, insects, plants...

      and so on till last level with some classic eldritch abomination as final boss.

    19. O_o kyrieru if you ever do a roguelike, please don't overdo it with the difficulty, for example spelunky since people talk about it makes you collect all those stupid egyptian artifacts in one run to get to the city of gold, so I never got past the ice caves

      Delete
    20. Do only what you like Kyrieru, but I'm just letting you know that if you worked on some incremental game, I'd consider voting on enemies (and traps for me especially) as possibly quite fun.

    21. @rumpelking And if after 2m30s the heroine gets caught by the ghost, she is possessed and masturbates herself into oblivion, right ^__^

      Delete
    22. What I don't like about roguelikes is the complete loss of progress :/ But if you could use collected treasures to improve the camp above the ground I'd like it probably more than the real Spelunky. The game is addictive, just frustrating.

      Delete
    23. Oh, a rogue-lite is a nice idea Kyrieru ◕ ◡ ◕

      Other idaes for levels: lair of a dark magic cult, womb level (as in walls made of flesh), tentacle lair, hell, realm of shadows, sand pits (sand worms, giant enemy crabs, antlions, octopi...), ancient alien ship, clockworks....

    24. No, stop this. Seriously. I'm too hyped for Noaika and I've waited too long to be getting hyped for hypothetical future game as well.

      Delete
    25. Stop reading this then (• ε •)

      Wild guessing and dreaming is probably the only fan activity we can do while waiting.

  38. Have you ever considered having a heroine with a ponytail and wearing a tubetop and a loincloth?

    There is something inherently sexy about the ponytail hairstyle, for example on Nanako from Violated Heroine or Shantae. Mixes convenience of short hairstyle with elegance of long hair.

    Tubetop and loincloth would also be easy to animate on a separate layer to have clothes removable by enemies.

    No ulterior motives here. It's not like those are my biggest turn ons. Nope. No ulterior motives whatsoever :oP

    3. Noaika's suit is also attractive in a different way. Plus it fully disintegrates when defeated :D (unless anything changed since the demo)

    4. Don't think the topic creator is dissing Noa's design, which is top grade awesomesauce. Looks like they're only naming their preferences of female H game protagonists IYKWIM >_>

      As for mine if anybody asked... Well unless you want the heroine to be some sort of slave girl or jungle princess, the loincloth would make little sense. But swap it for some short shorts and you got yourself an adventurer/archeologist/mercenary, which is something I'd certainly fap to >_>

      Do you know the designs of Shantae, Fio and maybe Revy from Black Lagoon? Something between those three is what I always had in my mind. If you know a game with such protagonist, let me know.
