Just finished getting a very basic quest system done. Because it's Renpy and you will almost definitely skip through important information.
Going to release it with A LOT of placeholder images. As in blobs of characters just so it can be looked at by you guys. A lot of character drawings have been done, just not coloured and highlighted will get a fair few of those in though.
Game Mechanics completed:
Transformation, you can turn from a male to a female with a Futa inbetween, all scenes for that are done and working.
All your attributes change as well and that's all sorted.
How to trigger explore events are done.
Maps are all done so you can travel to different areas.
Time of day system is done. You automatically go back to your room for sleep, it doesn't impact events.
The players Description is done, as well as varying and random text based on your appearance. A twelve inch dong might be Massive, Enormous Gargantuan. This text also changes in sex scenes.
Game Help system- In the help section of the main menu it tells you about the mechanics of the game. rather than telling you how Renpy works.
Characters will appear in different locations depending on the time of day.
Game mechanics that need a tweak or polishing, but basically done:
Clothing. We are redrawing the base model and clothing so it looks a bit better. The mechanics to buy clothes, they unlock in your wardrobe. They are then displayed on your character in your wardrobe in real time. This also changes some of your stats and your description.
Combat. the basics of Combat, leveling up etc is all done, enemies are all programmed and the random encounters also places you back where you fought them. This will just need balancing, and going through it a few times until we're happy.
Still to do
Weapons and Armour - This is a quick one just need to use almost identical coding to the clothing system, it is already integrated with combat.
Usable Items - This is not a heavy item use game so will make a fairly quick system
Prostitute jobs system - Might be complicated, might be easy.
Um, that's pretty much it for the mechanics, It's just a case of getting in the content and making sure it all works. I really want to give an estimate for initial release......Until all the mechanic's stuff is done I can't as you never know what colan could literally kill progress for a day :)
Going to try getting the Brothel in and working tonight. This will include a very quick sketch of the room and a dark room with a bed.
Oh if you have any questions let me know

What are we up to this week
Me (Jazzer) is currently doing some quick placeholder backgrounds. While also finishing off all of the Aunt Marketa poses. (That's very clothing options etc, with different expressions).
After that I 'm going to finish off the clothing store and add in a fair few options for character clothing.
Zevviathan is drawing some scenes. She is drawing the various Isabella scenes, only one more to line art and then she will go onto some random bits of art that needs doing.
On a weird side note the "new game" is called Niburi Rebirth. Will start a new blog up at some point.
Until then i'll add random bits of info and the first couple of releases will be on here.
For the initial release, not sure how much we are going to put in. As I said before most of the core mechanics are now working, you have no idea how tough it was to learn programming from scratch.
For people who played the original in RAGS it is not like a VN and it isn't as clunky as the RAGS interface.
Combat is as interesting as I think it can and needs to be. As you level up you can increase your stats by visiting the gym, Dojo and learning new skills to use in combat. Losing results in an optional sex scene as does winning. New Weapons and Armour can be purchased in the Market to increase your stats.
We are aiming for combat to be fairly quick and not a long grind.
On a side note thankyou for the positive messages we really appreciated it.

What do you title this as?
Been putting a lot of work into this over the last few months and will add a few pics.
Quick breakdown
Got bogged down with the coding in flash. (Fen will understand this problem).
After months of trouble with it, we abandoned it for a while until we could think of something else.
Then tried RPG maker, A few hours of gameplay was coded, but upon testing it...it just played like an RPG maker Game (so not well). Plus halfway through development RPG maker MV was released.
Then looked at RENPY, after a lot of learning got the base coding implemented/ it plays well and we've been building up the art for quite a while.
We are now getting close enough and have quite a lot of assets and coding is done for the base game.
Think of it as a hybrid between a visual novel and a RPG. The city and world has complete freedom and you move around by clicking on the environment, then opening a city or world map.
This is the unpolished player room.
There is a dressup element with a character viewer. You can change hairstyles etc and it all shows up.
Combat is working and uses a weird system where your maximum stats increase. So on level 2 your maximum Strength will go from 5 to 10. You have to go to the gym to actually increase it though.
Loads of new stuff has been written. Probably up to the 300,000 word count now.
The artwork is ok for now, this is the sister.
A lot of characters have been done and in the process of adding expressions to them. As well as naked, wearing just underwear etc.
Heres the world map. Well the area around the city map.
Was tempted to look at doing some animated sex scenes. But that may take a lot longer to get something out so might look at that later down the line.
I know it's really frustrating that we didn't post in a stupidly long time, but after a while you get annoyed at yourself and quite frankly a bit embarrassed that we weren't able to do it.
We are over that now and I have some time off over the next few weeks. I will probably but out a Demo version, just so whoever still goes on here knows that work is actually happening. Due to testing and bugs and stuff won't overfill with content. Probably just the intro, a few areas and a bit of combat and a few sex scenes.
From now on I will post updates in here at least once a week.
So I am expecting rants annoyed people, disappointed people. If I get any yay its not dead, then i'm happy. If anyone is still occasionally actually reading this. Hello!
