Tentative Concepts

Hi all! We're making a lot of progress on pumping harvesting animations out, as well as introducing the new Mandrake and Swing monster!

We're also still working on the final Seraph and Dickwolf designs, so what you see here will probably not be completely final. However, the bust size for seraphs is final for variety and lore's sake. Also because the Dickwolf needed to be updated like the rest of the models, we thought it would be the perfect chance to reenvision the Dickwolf to better separate regular monsters from their completely animalistic feral counterparts. However like I said, not everything is final for now.

Progress Update

Hey, been a while since I did a blog post so I just wanted to make a tiny progress update. Next release will be on May 1st. This will not be super large or content-laden as a lot of the things going into 6.1 are just things laying the groundwork for the next wave of systems and fleshing out the gameplay/story (as I know a lot of people have been looking forward to that). There will be some new traits, consumable effects have been fleshed out a bit more, and the groundwork for the building upgrade and alchemy systems will be in-place. Also, nearly all of the old events will finally be ported over. There will be one or two new animations as well.

Ludum Dare

Hey guys, hope you've all been well! Just got finished spending my weekend working on my game jam entry for Ludum Dare, where the goal is to make a game over just one weekend. I wanted to try something a little different so I convinced my roommate to help me make a horror game with absolutely zero visuals. I thought it would be a neat idea to attempt to make a game that was entirely communicated to you through audio. It's pretty rough around the edges, of course, but I'm actually pretty proud of it. Feel free to download it and check it out:  http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-32/?action=preview&uid=52179 (I apologize for the corny voice acting, but we couldn't use text so we had no choice :P)

I wasn't the only one competing in the jam, though! Vanilly and S worked with a couple of their friends (Zeta and Plumegeist) to make this seriously beautiful 2D platformer:

Hotfix 6.0.2 for Patrons

Hey, here's the hotfix fixing the biggest bugs from the last hotfix. There was one bug that I was unable to replicate, which was the issue with saving and loading that some people were having. If you were suffering from that bug, please export and e-mail your save file to me at HartistaPipebomb@gmail.com so I can take a look; thanks!

6.0.2 Hotfix

Bug Fixes
- Fixed the memory leak, still working on optimizing
- Using the breeder from the breeding menu should work correctly now
- All monsters except elves should now have a consumable effect (still being balanced)
- Added a back to the scrollbar for better scrolling
- Dickwolf x Dickwolf now have the correct number of hands, and other small animation error fixes

Known Issues
- You may have trouble loading saves from earlier versions
- Can't sort by monster type in the Item menu yet
- There's no tutorial yet
- Pretty much all of the in-game stat and price values are placeholder; do not expect things to be remotely balanced just yet
- "I hate words" can cause strange issues (maybe you should try liking words more)

New characters and concepts

Hi all! This month is a focus on finishing the rest of the catgirl animations and breeder animations!
Here are some new concepts for the last of catgirl and some breeder poses

And a mElf x Felf in the mix

A few new (and old but revamped) NPC's have made an appearance!

Octopussy

breedingseason.com!

Hey, just letting you all know that I'm aware of the bugs introduced in the last hotfix and I'll be tossing up a 6.0.2 hotfix ASAP (this one will be an actual hotfix and not like a mini release :P).

Also, I wanted to announce that from now on you can use the url breedingseason.com to get to the blog! That should make it slightly less annoying than typing the blogspot url :P.

Hotfix 6.0.1 for Patrons

Yo. Here's that hotfix I promised, though to be honest it ended up a little bit like a small release :P. Managed to knock out a lot of little bugs. Next build will be 6.1 and I'll be releasing that in roughly another week and a half. I'll do the 5.9 public release at the same time.

And, just for fun, here's a sneak preview of a special little mini-game you'll have the chance to take part in at the beach in order to get materials for crafting stronger consumables:

And yes, there will be a chance you might end up finding yourself reeling in a much bigger (and sexier) catch as well :).

Happy Easter!

Hey all! I hope you all fuck like rabbits today on Easter! (In addition to a Christian holiday, Easter used to be a pagan spring fertility festival, so that's right up our alley :P)

I'm just dropping in for a tiny update to let you all know that there will be a 6.0.1 hotfix with a lot of minor bugfixes/small improvements coming in next week.
