May Update: Snake. SNAAAAAAAAKE!!!!

Is it bad that the dude screaming "SNAAAAKE" at the game over screen is the only thing I can recall about the Metal Gear franchise?  Well, that, and running around under a cardboard box.  


My Game: 
Next release date: Too far out to even guess yet.

That said, I have (almost) finished the background for the first of the two zones in Act 3.  That's a big milestones to me.  The game becomes more than just a pile of parts, & I can actually walk around & explore.  It also means it now takes longer for me to run around & debug, but that's a problem I'm glad to have.  haha.

I should probably water down the above statement a bit.  Yeah, the backgrounds for the beach level are done, but only the backgrounds.  There's nothing to interact with yet, so it's really quite boring at the moment.  Hell, there's even a few places in the background where I have placeholders because I'm too lazy to draw the details.  hahaha.  But even so, I've passed that marker when the game world starts to feel like a game world.  That's cool.

I've seen a lot of requests for more NPC sex, and there's even places where it would fit on the beach level, so I'm going to try & include some.  We'll see if we like the results.  I'm honestly a bit torn, as it takes just as much effort to add NPC sex as it does to add monsters. The monsters add more gameplay though, so they're a better use of my time.  Then again, hey, sex game.  Any sex I add is a good use of my time.  hahahah.





Speaking of, here's the first actual monster from the new level.  As always, drawing is not my strong point.  Please feel free to help me deconstruct or to offer any pointers on how to touch him up.  (Is it wierd that I kinda like posting my own art, because I suddenly see all manner of terrible flaws once I press that publish button?  hah)

I purposely made the fingers extra long because I thought it would give a neat, almost sinister look.  It kinda works at a quick glance, but if you look twice you see the proportions are out of whack.  I think the palms need to be wider, which might allow me to extend the fingers too?  Anyway, I may take another swing at it, but fuck, I hate drawing hands so much it may just have to float as is.  hahah

Also not quite happy with the head.  It's serpentine alright, but as a whole it just doesn't click.  I think I may have the whole head too tall, possible the eye is too far back as well.  Or perhaps the back of the eye needs to be rounder?  Anyway, more things to tinker with.


This also brings us to one of the more entertaining parts of my blog.  I haven't planned out any sex poses for this guy yet.  If you are feeling creative, here's a good place to offer suggestions.  It'd be cool to involve the tail in some manner, but not necessary.  

Don't forget the rules from last time - he gets four poses in total.  At one end the hero should be dominating the grapple, while at the other he should be dominating, and there's two more positions in between.  The four poses should all be related, and only the very last pose should involve penetration below the waistline.



Around the interwebs:
No new games really caught my eye this month.  The only big news I saw was on Offbeatr, where Fenoxo proposed a new game idea and generated more than $100,000 in pledges.  That's some serious dough!  I suspect all the amateur game makers are going to come out of the woodwork shortly.  With luck, there could be a flood of new porn games posted by late this year.  Looking forward to that.

Til next time

Update: Right after I posted this I found out that Kyrieru posed his new game Eroico.  I haven't played it yet, but I loved the last one.  By the time next month rolls around though this will be really old news, so thought I'd drop a quick bump here.  If you're a fan of pixel porn, go check it out.  Demo is free, and the whole game is only $5.
