Progress Update

Did more work on the Animation customization system, and started a bit on the dialog system as well as some other UI bits. I've been remaking some of the UI components from scratch (rather than incorporating default Flash UI components which required hacking things together in a manner that was introducing UI bugs). This means that it'll be easier for me to modify UI functionality more easily. One thing that I'm working on is making it so that the Trait display box is a lot less annoying to use; you'll be able to expand it so that you aren't forced to scroll in that tiny box. That portion of the UI will still require more work, though.

  1. Was wondering when an official Eta on the Patreon 1$ payed content release,since we're now up to Alpha 5.3,but from what i see it's going to be a clean up/ui update.

  2. was wondering if there are any thoughts of bringing back impregnation during sex scene?

    1. The sex scenes will have them eventually - the majority of them will have at least a couple sex animations to them, but the cumming scene is a secondary concern to getting all breeding animations implemented, and that's only after the game rehaul H-Bomb is doing right now. After that's completed, we'll be getting the fluff content at a regular pace.

  3. Second StumpFungus, is this update going to happen at the end of the month? Then what the hell did we pay for last month?

    1. your not really paying for the game, it's more your paying for him not to worry about getting a real job so he can pay for things like his living quarters and food... If he had to worry about that he wouldn't be working on the game, so if you are happy with what the game is like now, quit paying.

  4. Well,it looks like i answered my own question, on October 1st there was a progress dump with some downloadable kittengirl scenes and such,so rather it'd be 5.5

  5. Guys, no amount of money you give will make him work faster or harder. If you donated you did so by choice. It's obvious that H-Bomb is not the fastest porn game developer in the world. You can choose to keep giving or not, but I'm pretty sure this is his top speed and productivity.
    Hey, we're all just human. We all have to be patient and/or prudent.

    1. Patient yes but he was crazy to thing he would get all that code'ing done in 8 hours. you should all expect code'ing to take all day at the minimum but at least he should make this daily update thing a weekly thing so we know wtf is going on.

    2. No, he hired S-Purple, and an animator... at least.
      But I don't know why I'm defending H-Bomb.

      Apparently he's too challenged with his problems and life to do what he means to do. Make of that whatever you will.

  6. Just so you guys know, this guy is paid more than a lot of people with 8 year Medical Degrees. I know he pays a few other people, but I doubt he pays them as much as he takes himself. 2 full time developers who make games like Assassin's Creed and Skyrim are paid about 50-80k a year and they work between 8-10 hours a day on their projects. If they don't work enough and slack off, they get fired. Games like the one H-Bomb is producing are typically completed in 3-4 months time.

    You should all drop your subscriptions down to $1 a month or less. The slower he works, the longer he gets to rake in this insane amount of money. Go spend your money on something more promising. You can always raise your subs back up when H-Bomb actually starts producing material.

    1. Belay that dick-blowing.
      Poster's got a point.

    2. This is an amateur developer not a professional. We cant expect the same level of work to be done as someone with decades of experience. Be patent and stop with the negative nonconstructive posts.

      Delete
    3. nah but updates would be great and he was rewriting the game, but he thought implementing rewrite would go smooth he must be crazy or stupid.

      Delete
    4. go back to $1 until shows to worth more.
      if anyone got what is needed, start another project of monster breeding and will get all the patrons that feel robed by this guy. I'll bet that is some money there.

      Delete
    5. no kidding. H-Bomb is making over 20 grand a month. WTF is he doing where he cant sit down and at the very least devote 6-8 hours a day to do what he is being paid to do. Its not like he has to work a 9-5 job right now with that amount of income. He had 2 months to do this and only now is applying himself. If he wasn't building a corporation from scratch or came down with Ebola there is little excuse.

      Its like AvalonX all over again, but with apologies instead of bitching. there are dissenters, there are defenders, and (until now) the designer is often nowhere to be found.

  7. Oh goodie, UI updates. Not being sarcastic there; that's an important component. Thanks for the progress updates, H-Bomb. Good to know what you're working on and how it is coming along. I'm on the edge of my seat with all these developments.

  8. Well, to anyone who is hating over the lack of content for the month,
    The way I read the $1 pledge agreement is that you get access to updates a month before public release. This does not express that an update will come every month. I get that he stated a release coming out, but obviously shit is going down and the agreement has made no fault.

    ReplyDelete
  9. H-bomb made the agreement in good faith, but it never seemed likely to me (given my fairly long experience in software development) that he could possibly hit his targets unless he was some kind of super ace ninja robot. Well, turns out he's a human, but I'm okay with that.

    1. You mean your fairly long imaginary experience in software development? That's cool kiddo.

    2. No he could give us more updates and realistic dates instead of thinking i can code a rewrite into a game in 8 hours.

  10. All I see in the comments of these posts are people crying that they haven't gotten their porn fix yet. Then you have the people that are throwing out ad hominem attacks because they haven't gotten their porn fix. It's just sad to see that people that were so willing to pledge money to a project are so quick to turn around and be complete fucking shitholes because they haven't received the update yet.

    Any person that reads this and knows how software development works, nothing goes perfectly and rarely is implementing anything major, like a code rework, smooth. Everyone needs to calm the fuck down, if you need your porn fix at this very moment just go to pornhub or redtube or something. I'm pretty sure that H-Bomb occasionally reads these and it's probably stressing him out with how pissed everyone is, so I don't think it would be good to add to that stress as it will only slow his work down more.

    1. Judging from your post, you seem to be a patron. How does it feel donating your greens for H-Bomb's new Ferrari? I guess you really had to (ironically) go full ad hominem to everybody else, except the loyal patrons in order to justify somehow your "well" spent money.

      Oh, and the whole stress thing? Yeah I'm pretty sure he is probably crying from laughter from all these half-assed comments. While he is grabbing your ass...I mean money.

    2. ^Bro... if you aren't donating why do you even care enough to come on here and post negative shit? are you just one of those people who hates it when good things are happening for other people? We who donate have the right to be upset; when we are... we will tell him through patreon, here, or even by revoking our patronage. We do not need people like you to be upset for us, Nor do we need you tell us how to spend our money. P.S. if he can spend his money on whatever he likes. No one tells you how to spend your paycheck.

    3. Because we have just as much a right to an opinion, and to make that opinion heard, as you do, "bro". I don't need to pay to make my voice heard, and the Patreon support was an optional thing from the very beginning -- You can support them with money, but it is in no way required. So just... please keep your opinions to yourself before you make yourself look even dumber, I feel sorry for people like you.

    4. "so I don't think it would be good to add to that stress as it will only slow his work down more"

      Are you trolling? We're not making ad-hominem attacks, we're making viable complaints like, "Hey, you make $300,000 a year now, where are the other team members" and "Hey, you made $50,000 in radio silence in 2 months, apologized, and seem to have just started actually working on what you said you would."

      Why should we just "calm the fuck down" and not let our frustrations be heard as paying customers? How can you just accept anything that he says without fucking question and lash out at people who have legitimate things to say?

    5. So the thing is i doubt that some of these anons are actually patrons why would you come on to the blog just to post money related questions and issues if some of you are paying customers just go to the patron comments and say something there that is where the money is coming from not the blog H-bomb would most likely visit there first and see how he's patrons feel as its their money it just hard to believe some random anons that's all it makes no sense.

    9. To the guy at 3:08. You are correct. You do have the right to voice your opinion, but your original statement was not an opinion. I like turtles is an opinion. If your saying H-bomb bought a Ferrari. you are either stating a fact, or telling a lie. In this case, you are speculating as to what H-Bomb is doing with the money you aren't giving him. For you to be upset about how he spends it, is kind of silly.. Also, you should probably review the post of the guy at 10:41. He never said you didn't have the right to voice your opinion. He said that those people who pay can speak for themselves. (though it wasn't worded the best, so it sounded condescending)

      Delete
    10. By the way, you are referring to 10:41, whom is I and actually not the 3:08. As you can see, I'm not alone in this sentiment. I certainly wasn't upset. If anything, it should be the opposite. I'm seeing people throwing at him tons of money and see little to none progress. Since you don't get it and you keep on paying him, might as well have fun with your naiveness. You should even go ahead and buy his McLaren now.

  11. That's cool working on the Trait display box so we don't have to scroll in that box anymore.

  12. Q: Are we on track for next week to be the launch of the 5 new animations, as mentioned in an earlier post? Or is that dependent on the UI / recoding progress?

    ReplyDelete
  13. Q: This is for the Halloween update or you gonna save it for the Christmas update?

    ReplyDelete
  14. These updates are nice and all, but can we get an estimate of when you'll be done (ESTIMATE, no "it'll definitely done by x!" I'm talking "November 15~20 if all goes according to plan" or something similar) or at the very least, what you have left to do? I don't care about when it's done, but having some indication of whether or not it'll be "soon" or "later" would be nice.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I definitely think while the new rehaul is being done, we should get some stuff added to the old version... animations and shit so people wont gripe as much. they will feel like you're actually doing something rather than nothing. big updates are nice and all, but the majority of the players have the maturity level of a hostess ding dong. they need entertainment to keep them satisfied.
