Current Projects Progress

Thought I would take some time to give a progress update on all of the projects I'm currently working on.

Primary project - The "MMC" series

I'm currently working on a project of multiple VN style games in a shared universe. Similar to a familiar cinematic universe, I'm doing smaller standalone VN style games for characters to give them an introduction, before doing a larger crossover game that will expand into a more open world SLG type of game with all of the heroines introduced in the other games (as well as some unique to the crossover). The first in this series is "Holiday", which is completed and set to release once Patreon gets updated with all of the scenes for the VaM Fan tier. All of these games are being made in Tyranobuilder with VaM being used for the scenes. 

The biggest reason I'm doing shorter games before building to the larger one, is to show this idea in smaller, more easily created, chunks as a proof of concept to see if people enjoy them or not. If people aren't into the idea, then the project will be scaled back a bit. I'm also doing smaller games first to practice and get better before getting to the game that's going to require a lot more work. If the smaller games are able to do well, I'll also be able to potentially bring more people on, which will make developing larger scale games much easier.

MMC Progress - 

The MMC project overall is progressing smoothly. With the release of Holiday, the overall series will be about 20% complete. The second game in the series has been planned out, and the characters have been fully designed and created. I'd say it's roughly 10% complete so far. The other games in the series have basic premises, but I'm focusing on completing each individual game before doing anything else for the later ones. This is to keep the project focused and to be able to deliver each game in a timely manner.

Secondary Project - A Perfect Ten

I'll usually have a secondary project going. The majority of my time will go to my primary project, but working on the secondary will happen from time to time as I get inspired.

A Perfect Ten is a project I've talked a lot about and have worked on for a very long time. I've met a lot of roadblocks on my way to it's creation though. Through going from a 2D hand-drawn style to 3D, to change engines, to my computer having problems, and then most recently Tyranobuilder not being able to export games over 1GB (and not figuring this out until literally hundreds of hours were put into making the game), it's been rough. These problems finally seem to be fixed though. I've gotten decent enough at Daz to be able to emulate what I wanted with 2D, Tyranobuilder finally updated to be able to export games, and my computer is running smoothly. 

Despite this being a bit of a passion project, for now this is the secondary project. It's a lot more involved, and making scenes is much more difficult and expensive than the MMC games. With VaM, there's a lot of free assets that are available to use, but that's not the case with Daz. APT is a game built around buying new outfits, and I'm broke, so buying these assets is very slow moving. The game itself is also significantly more complicated, as it's an open world game. If this Patreon ends up being successful, this will likely be moved to being the primary project once all of the games in the MMC project are finished.

A Perfect Ten Progress - 

APT is roughly 15% done at this point. It could technically have an initial release at this point, but it's still missing way too many features and areas. I want the initial release to have at least an intro to every aspect of the game, so people have a better idea of what it's going to be like as more gets added. This should be possible when it hits around 25% complete. Being a secondary project, this will likely take a while. However, I'm hoping to release an initial build by the end of the year.

Tertiary Project - 

I'm technically working on a third project, but it's honestly mostly for me. It's one that will not be released here, and instead be released completely for free with no links back here or anything. It's about 70% finished, but I wont be releasing it until it's completely finished. This project is something I rarely work on, but it's something I primarily do for fun, rather than as a real project. I'm really just making it as a compilation of other things I've made, and because nothing else like it really exists. I just wanted to mention it, because I want to be upfront with my patrons.

All done - 

That's all for now. I hope that gave a pretty clear idea of what I'm working on. I hope you'll look forward to the completion of the MMC project and A Perfect Ten!
