Well, I finished the side-scroller: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/643250. I learned quite a bit about programming. Main lesson was pixel art is really heavy on RAM usage, and causes slowdown for some players. If I make the sequel, I will try to use more math animation instead of pixel art. I already had another fun idea for a quick sex game and started it this week. I imagine it will be done in August, but don't hold your breath. :)

Not finished enough to show anything useful but here's a cropped pic just as a teaser: 

Not much else to report. Every other game I'm working on right now is a sequel to all of my other games. So, who knows which will be finished next! 

So, I must have eaten over $100 worth of strawberries from my garden. Much sweeter tasting than store-bought and all free (except $10 for the original plants and the year long wait for them to start producing berries of course)  On a more healthy note I've been also harvesting Kale, Swiss Chard, Spinach and Kolrabi leaves twice a week. I add them to anything from scrambled eggs to stews or even just boiled with milk and nutmeg.

I started a new game. Top view maze game where the items you find open up more parts of the dungeon. I have a 5 level dungeon planned and 3 are finished. I still need to draw the battle art for enemy encounters and the story artwork. (Minimum 2 more months work) Originally I wanted to have actual real-time combat but it is not working out well so I settled for a setup similar to the Blue Bonnet game. Luckily, I've learned enough about Flixel since BB0 to design a better fighting system. I am generally intending to include Adult scenes as usual. Below are some screenshots:

I also drew 2 more enemies on my Side-Scroller game for a total of 5 enemies that randomly appear. I also got all the collisions working correctly and finished the story artwork. I only have the Boss to draw and code. That could take me a week or more depending on how ridiculous I want to get on his attacks. Screenshots:

That's all for this month. I currently have about 5 games I'm working on cocurrently and which one comes out next is really based on which I get into the mood for. The closest to completion is the Side-Scroller. Possibly realeased in July. Later!

Aaah, now that spring has arrived I've spent most of me free time in the garden. I planted easily 50 flowers, shrubs and vegetables. This is my favorite time of year, when the weather is still nice, the mosquitoes aren't out yet and I can get some real work done outside. I'm even building a limestone path from the front door to the back door. I was going to put up pictures of my garden and landscaping but this isn't a personal blog so...

I did get a full week of work in on art for BB1. About 20 character pictures, and some minor terrain work and city tile placements. Here's a quick sample of some random game characters at 75% scale:

I was also drawing some commission pieces. I finished one completely and had a 2nd and 3rd pencilled when my special Japanese Inking pen ran out of ink. So, what's the big deal, RIGHT? Just buy another one. Yeah, unfortunately I live in a hillbilly town with no art store. While I was pondering this dilemma I leaned back in my old art drawing chair and it snapped in half... Super! So, the next two weeks were shot but finally I got some time off and drove to the city and bought a new chair and pen. I was hoping to get the other two pieces done for this update but it will be a few more days. Check back in a week, considering my incompetance at time estimation. (edit: The 3rd pic is also done now and link included below)

So thats it for now.

Happy Gardening!

I got a good amount done on BB1. I finished two more villages: Shantyton, and the Thieves Hideout. I added in 6 more NPCs in Shantyton and a few quests. You can also gain a temporary 2nd teammate here as well. Here's an image:

I also am starting to add in the dungeons/caves. In the original game they were all connected together as an underworld map, and you progressed by unlocking higher skills and getting items (similar to Zelda:Link to the Past for SNES) but since I am trying to keep this FLASH game under 10MB, that might change. I might have to split up the game into more chapters. One thing I just noticed is the dungeon's Top-Down view doesn't match the ret of the game's 3/4 view. I'll have to try and find a way to fix that...Here's a dungeon pic as well:

On a side-note, I stoppped working on the Blondie BJ because those type of games really don't work well when using just pixel art. I turned it into a 45 second video instead and included a link here:

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/636685

As usual I had some half-baked idea for a game and then spent most of the month working on it. In this case it might not be too bad since it's about 90% finished. All the art is done. I'm just adding in the effects and maybe a story. So, It should be uploaded before the end of the week (except... it wasn't. I added in more options and a storyline. End of the month is more likely). The concept is nothing new, just a combination of a dress-up game and a sex game. Mostly I was trying to learn how to use layers, randomized image creation, and image rotation/movement in Flixel. Here's a preview:

Yah, this month was a total writeoff... So many things came up from work to family to other. I did a bit of work on all my projects but I am going to stop making "completion date" predictions considering how I am never correct. The cave side-scroller has 3 completed enemies now and is still next in the queue unless I happen to get bored of it and upload the next Outcast Ninja comic first. Sorry for the delay. Hopefully, March will be more productive.

Well, the first order of news is the unimportant (and banal fact to anyone living in the North-East of America) that we received record-breaking amounts of snowfall in the past 2 weeks. I literally cannot see out of the ground floor windows anymore. I have been shovelling snow every day for 2 weeks and the snow piles along my driveway are taller than I am. (I'm not a midget by the way) It has been nice however, to meet all the neighbors as we dig out snow-covered cars and cut through the mountainous snowplow-made drifts to get to work.

So, on to Flash games. First a recent screenshot from BB#2:

I've finished the first 10% of Blue Bonnet including a fully functional dialogue and inventory system about 15 unique NPCs and one completed sex animation, which is good, except that the file size is already 8MB, which is bad. 80MB as an estimated finished file size is about 70MB too large So, I'm currently trying to rework the game to take up less space. The first thing to be cut is the interactive 800x600px animated sex scenes I had planned. At about 1~2 MB each, they just don't add enough to the game to be justified. I am replacing them with smaller versions instead. I also am adding more sex events into the dialogues, since each picture there averages 3KB. Another aspect I'm debating is the battle system. Originally, I was intending to have full fight+death animations for each character and all the enemies, but again at about 500KB per character... it's taking up too much space. I might opt for just a static image of each instead or a much simpler animation sequence. 

What this means is that I have a fair bit of art that I am not using in Blue Bonnet anymore, which I might put into one of my other upcoming games. One such piece is a scene where April-May gives the Dock-Master a handjob to get a better price for ferry tickets. Here's a link to the image since it's Adult content:

http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/slingbang/blondie-handjob-game-preview

Another game I'm working on is a common type of adult side-scroller. The heroine must fight through a cave full of very horny monsters. I've finished the basic game mechanics and am currently adding in the monster animations and sex events. Below you can see the death and fight frames and the first monster.

I will also be converting the next chapter of "Outcast Ninja" into an interactive comic in my spare moments. This might be more difficult than the first one because Newgrounds seems to be increasing the restictions on content allowed here but are really vague about what the rules are. As far as I can determine "hardcore sex, torture, and teen sex" in ARTWORK are all subject to deletion now but weren't before. All of which would all be in the comics. So, I guess I'll just have to submit it and see what happens... or severly edit the comic down which would be unfortunate. Here's a pic from the cover for fun:

So, the three upcoming games in likely order of submission would be: Sexy Side Scroller in Feb, Blondie Handjob Animation in March, then ON#2 in April. Blue Bonnet is still going to be summer at the earliest.

Thanks for reading. :)

Well, December is over and I didn't get as far as I had hoped on BB2. Of course I lost almost 2 weeks from travelling to 3 different cities to visit family. Building snowforts and slide-hills does take up some time too... 

So, this month I continued drawing NPCs and Enemies, as well as finding background art online and modifying it to fit my overall theme. (see the boat and House in the picture below) I'm also slowly improving the background tiles. In the pic below, I've updated the grass, coast, desert and hills. The story is coming along and is about 10% completed and playable now. I've also started animating some sex scenes. (An example is in the pic below) The game has 4 stages where the actors perform. The main map, the Dialogs, the Battle and Cut-Scenes. All of which have sex scenes as well. That's a lot of art! Oh yeah, I added in buttons as well, so you can actually choose what you want to do. (Instead of being forced to like in BB1) Here's a quick picture from near the start of the game, to give you a basic idea:

I also got a functional Battle system working. It was quite involved since I have 3 combatants on each side now. I came to the realization why most RPGs used the SAME battle system. I tried a bunch of New! and Exciting! and Innovative! ways to design the battles... and they all have fatal errors or were so complicated, using 4 button combos that the average player would not enjoy it. So, I now have a basic RPG battle style. I included a picture below of what I wanted to create: All 6 combatants attacking,defending and dying at the same time. (Obviously the art is not finished yet) . It works in the picture but not in practice. So as a result, the Battle System is now turn-based like most other RPGs. 

As is important when working on any large energy-sapping project, I am taking a short hiatus from BB2 to work on a short energy-creating project. I have drawn many comics over the years and am making an older one into a simple B&W click-through game. (All my comics are full of sex and violence of course) It should be here on Newgrounds mid-month.  And why not, here's a sneak peak of that as well... (I changed it to a link since it's explicit ADULT content)

http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/slingbang/preview-of-outcast-ninja-comic

Hello Everybody.

I am expecting Blue Bonnet part 2 to take months of work to complete so I will be posting a Progress Update at the end of each month. The time estimate is partly due to my work schedule increasing, but mostly because I am redoing much of the artwork. Some of it is just a matter of finding -cough(stealing) the background art online, but the characters, battles and sex will be hand-drawn.

I have included a screen-shot below showing some of the new background art as well as 3 characters which are hand-drawn. The hero is animated for walking in all 4 directions and the NPCs will have 3 frame standing poses. I am including layers in this game which will help create a better 3D look but also allow me to hide items or enemies behind bushes, objects and such.

I am intending the Hero to have teammates in this game. Currently, I am thinking of having 1 or 2 mates and perhaps other story-related NPCs that help in battles. It really depends on how hard the programming is for me.

I have drawn the basic attack animation for 3 possible female teammates at this point. I quickly scanned and made a compilation sketch of some of the unclothed teammates for you to oogle. If you are observant you might notice something familiar about the 3 characters... http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/slingbang/bb2-progress-sketch-2013-nov

If you have any suggestions or complaints, leave a message or PM me. Thanks! Note that I am quite busy right now so I might not reply quickly... Sorry in advance!

I will post another update at the end of December.

I contemplated doing a walkthrough for awhile and wasn't sure I wanted to, since there is no set order to complete any of the quests. So, I decided what I will put here is one way to play through the game. This way will allow you to get all the medals, including the sneaky way to get both Gerald and Jenny's medal in one game. If you notice any errors or have suggestions, please comment below.

1:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You start in your home village. When you talk to Lucy you find out she is your childhood sweetheart and she asks you to pick up her dress in Port City. She gives you a RECEIPT for the dress. Exit the village and head East to talk to Gerald by the dock. He wants you to kill 4 bandits to protect the area. When fighting bandits if you are low on HP you can return to Lucy and she'll refill your HP every time.

2:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you kill off 4 bandits, talk to Gerald again and he'll give you his BOAT which allows access to the water. Enter the lake and talk to the surfer near the whirlpool. He'll ask you for some seasickness powder made from Tiger Claws. You'll get this later. Sail the boat South past Port City and then West around the bottom of the Island, then North and East until you reach a shipwreck. Search it for a GOLD nugget. Then backtrack up to Port City and talk to the yellow merchant to trade the gold nugget for $25. Now, talk to the red merchant and trade the receipt for the DRESS. Talk to him again and buy the BANANAS. If you talk to him a third time he'll talk of flowers so rare they shouldn't be wasted just on a woman. If you talk to Mwelaki he will ask you to kill his rival, Tabitha, who he claims is a witch. The woman near the hotel is April-May and will ask you for flowers. It is useful to buy a CHICKEN from the hotel as it can be used to heal in battles.

3:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exit the town on foot and kill the bandit by the bridge. Cross the bridge and get a GOLD nugget out of the cave. Progress North back to your home village and give Lucy her Dress. She will reward you with her father's SIEVE. Travel back down over the first bridge, then West along the river until you see a sparkle in the water. Use the sieve to collect a GOLD nugget.

4:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enter the tribal village directly below and talk to Tabitha. She will give you a "friendship bracelet" which is actually the CURSED PENDANT. You will also buy some generic flowers. Note that you can fill up your HP at any time by drinking water form the village well. This is useful if you want to try and kill the elite bandit nearby. Cross the bridge and throw the bananas at the monkey and proceed South to the second tribal village. When you enter you must pay a $5 fine to the chief for trampling the grass and he will give you some "defective" flowers. In fact they are the "Rare" flowers. Go to the bottom right and search the hut with flowers in front of it to get the KNIFE. You can exit the village and and use the knife to kill the tiger and collect the CLAWS. Return to the first village and try to kill Tabitha with the knife. She will use the cursed pendant to mind-control you, have sex with you, then kill you and suck up your life force in a unique way! This death is OK since you will restart outside the village and lose nothing. NOTE: If you get the knife before talking to Tabitha, she won't give you the pendant, you will kill her, you won't get the sex scene, and you won't get the flowers.

5:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now you should return to Port City and cash in your gold nuggets and talk to the red merchant again. He will buy the rare flowers for $15. Talk to April-May and give her the generic flowers and she'll want some chicken. After that she'll tell you to pay $8 to the hotel manager and then when you talk to her again she'll have sex with you. NOTE: April-May will accept either flowers. This just allows you to give her the rare flowers if you didn't get Tabitha's flowers. Buy another chicken and take the boat North to the top of the map. Here is the Castle. You'll need to kill an elite bandit to enter. The best chance is to use 2 Medium attacks, and a weak attack. Then Block and heal yourself. (Note, you only heal if your HP is below 30%, however while blocking you still take 0~2 damage so keep blocking until you are low enough to use the chicken)

6:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enter the castle and notice a tree is out of line. This path leads behind the castle where the Chinese Doctor sits. He will give you a BOWL and remove the cursed pendant if you have it. (Now you can kill Tabitha) He will also grind up the claws into the seasickness POWDER. You can enter the castle and talk to Jenny. She will sell you the Mountain Gear for $30 which allows you to cross horizontal mountain ranges. There are 5 of these in the game. (see the previous post for an image of the locations) The first is right outside the castle. Head South across the mountains and talk to the fisherman. He wants special velvet worms which are somewhere near the tribal villages. Next, go North of the castle and cross the mountains to search the cave. You'll find a GOLD nugget.

7:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leave the castle area and sail back to the surfer. Give him the powder and he'll teach you how to enter the WHIRLPOOLS. First, sail South and enter the whirlpool near the Ogre. You'll come out near a shipwreck with a GOLD nugget. Return to the surfer whirlpool and enter it. Then go South to the bottom and find another shipwreck with a GOLD nugget. Return to Port City and cash these 3 in. Buy the Lv2 Sword and the Lv2 Armor. Kill a few bandits if you are low on cash. Buy a chicken if you don't have one. Now you can enter the whirlpool near the surfer again and then go North. You'll come to an elite bandit guarding the cave of the old hermit.

8:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you enter and talk to the hermit he'll offer you 2 items but you can only take one. The Feather or the Pearls... Here is the sneaky way you can get BOTH -sort of. First take the FEATHER. The pearls will disappear. DO NOT EXIT the cave. Instead go to the far North-East and slide down the tunnel. You arrive in you home village. Walk around in front of Gerald and give him the feather. You will get his sex scene and the Medal. DO NOT EXIT the village. Instead close the game, restart it and choose Continue. It will load from you last save point which is... the entrance to the Old Man's Cave! This time choose the PEARLS. You can cross the mountains and talk to the old man again and he'll confiscate your mountain gear. This used to have a quest but now just causes you to lose the gear. Either way if you return to Jenny and she'll accept the Pearls, have sex with you, and give you the Mountain gear for free.

HOWEVER, for this walkthrough, we won't talk to the old man but instead go back down the tunnel to your home village, exit the village and immediately go North across the mountains, kill the elite bandit and grab the SEASHELL that is sparkling on the beach. Return to Lucy and give her the seashell for her sex scene.

9:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, you can return to Tabitha and kill her, getting the Medal, and then go directly North across the mountains and get the VELVET WORMS from the pool above the waterfall. Get a chicken in Port City if needed and finally, return to Jenny in the castle for her sex scene. Give the worms to the fisherman and he'll catch the MAGIC FISH for you. If you want to, gather 100 coins and buy the Magic Shield from the merchant in the castle. Be sure you have a chicken and over 20HP and sail down to the whirlpool in front of the Ogre. This is a small riddle. You must enter the whirlpool from the North or South, then return from the West. Now to beat the Ogre!

10:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The main threat from the Ogre is his Power-Attack. It will deal TRIPLE damage (-15HP or more) It is easy to avoid though. Just attack until he lifts the club up above his head. Then Block the next round and he'll miss you. Use you chicken when needed and you should kill him easily.

YOU WIN! You should have gotten all the Medals and found every secret! The next chapter will have even more sex, hand-drawn battle animations, a larger map, more quests, weapons, enemies... better everything basically!

FINALLY IT IS DONE!

After 3 months of learning Flixel, programming, and testing, I submitted my first game. It is a prologue of an RPG I made in another language. I may convert it over, depending... So, here I will have an updated information post about this game.

One first note is the game is not Adult content. The 5 sex scenes are, but you'd have to play for a while to come across them. Sadly, there was no way to separate the two in the rating system so hopefully I don't get hated for 'tricking' people with the Adult rating. I actually wanted a Teen rating originally...

TIPS and GAMEPLAY:

Battles: There are 3 attack levels. (Weak: -3HP, Med: -5HP, Strong: -7HP. +- Attack/Defense, *random(0~5))

Each can be used strategically to maximize enemy deaths and minimize you having to heal. The key factor is the final attack only does damage to the player who dies. So, if the Lvl 1 bandit has 10HP and you choose Strong then Weak attack, you should kill him while losing on average 7HP. However, if you choose Weak then Strong, you should kill him while only losing on average 3HP. As the enemies get stronger and you get better weapons/armor this ratio will change, but that is the basics.

HEALING: There are 3 ways you can regain HP in the game and 4 times to increase HP Max.

The first way is to just wait. Every minute not in battle you regain 1HP. This is useful if you just need one more HP to take out an enemy, for example.

The second way is to return to Lucille. Since she is your 'True Love' she'll heal you fully each time you talk to her. Useful if you are close enough to your home village.

The third way is to buy a Chicken at the hotel in Port City. You can only use this in battle. To use it you press 'B' to block instead of attacking and if your HP is <= 30%, you will regain full HP. Note that while blocking, you may lose a point or two from the enemy attack as well. (HP threshold needed to use Chicken: 3/10, 4/15, 6/20, 7/25)

To Increase you Max HP you need to have sex with one of the 5 NPCs in the game. (Excludes Tabitha since she kills you) To do this you need to find the correct Items to get them to have sex. Lucille and April May are guaranteed scores once you find the correct items, Gerald and Jenny are mutually exclusive, meaning you can only get one of them. Tabitha can be made impossible to score with if you choose a certain path. However, if you beat the Ogre and finish the game, all sex animations will become available. (but you won't get medals for them) You can delete your game if you want to try and get a different sex scene and the accompanying medal.

SECRETS:

I also uploaded a picture of the entire map with Items and secrets on my Art page. I'll also add the Sex scene art on this page after enough people play the game, maybe a week or two.

Also, I have included a 4 picture panel showing the locations you can reach with the Mountain Gear (MGear) 1: South of the Castle. Leads to the Fisherman. 2:North of the Castle. Leads to a Gold Nugget. 3: North of your Hometown. Leads to the Seashell. 4: West of the Waterfall. Leads to the Velvet Worms. 5: In the Old Man's Cave. (Not Shown) This one is not really needed anymore. The old man confiscates your MGear and you originally had to go back to Jenny to buy it again, which triggered her Sex sequence. Now you can just give her the Pearls. :)

Please feel free to type any information below that will be useful to me, either for fixing/improving this game or ideas for the next one. Enjoy!
