Everstone Daycare v.0.12.1 - Demo update

Howdy everyone!

I've recently heard that some people were having issues getting to the new Weavile content. This is just a tiny update to the previous demo to make the new scene accessible immediately after finishing the main story or skipping to the end using Chapter Select, no clock time-skipping shenanigans required. No new content other than that small change.

I apologize to any inconvenience this has caused! Please enjoy the content, if you have...

Everstone Daycare - Progress Report (Nov. 9, 2023)

Howdy everyone!

It’s been a rough few months for my release schedule, and Baldur’s Gate 3 hasn’t been much help with that.

First on the agenda, the new side story released this demo.

This is the first half of the Nurse Weavile-related side story that’s been in the works. Some of you may remember that I released a set of CGs of Nurse Weavile getting his just desserts, and that was originally planned to be the whole beginning and end of it. However,...

Everstone Daycare v0.12 - Demo Release

Howdy everyone!

This demo includes quite a hefty new scene, with possibly the longest script I’ve written outside of the intro, and a sizable number of CGs to go with it. It’s only the first half of the side story surrounding Nurse Weavile for now, involving his history and relationship with Salandit (with a little bit of Grovyle mixed in.) I also experimented with adding a VN staple of flashing an image in between dialogue without having to make them full-blown ...

Everstone Daycare - Weavile and Salandit CGs

Howdy everyone!

Here are some of the CGs planned for the next demo. These are still currently drafts as there are inconsistencies between some of the images as well as some needing polishing to make them consistent with the others. There are still also 1 or 2 more to come that would fit in between some of these scenes to help bridge the gap between these sections.

Spooky has been pretty thorough with this set of CGs though, so I’m sure it’s easy to imagine ...

Everstone Daycare - Progress Report (Oct. 3, 2023)

Howdy everyone!

I apologize for the extended delay. We have expanded past our initial estimation of the size of this next demo. This, in addition to some road bumps in both my and Spooky’s life prevented us from releasing the demo at our planned release date some time in the middle of last month.

At the moment, the current draft is at over 12,000 words and still in need of revisions, there are 11 CGs with more to come, with more miscellaneous art in the works...

Everstone Daycare - New Inventory BGs

As mentioned in the earlier Progress Report, there are new assets for the Inventory, including both sides of the sea of toys that are pushed aside when you open it. We snuck a few easter eggs in there, hopefully they're not too intrusive!

Please enjoy!

Everstone Daycare - Progress Report (Aug. 31, 2023)

Howdy everyone!

I apologize for the last-minute post, but I have some last-minute news. The next demo is going to be delayed for a few days as I have to suddenly take a flight to attend a family member’s funeral. As before, I’ll be away from my PC and won’t be able to work on much outside of some writing when I have free time. I apologize for the inconvenience!

As for what we’ve worked on so far,...

Patreon Credit Card Issues

I’m a bit late to the party, but I wanted to wait and see if the issue would resolve itself in time. For those unaware, there has been an issue with Patreon rejecting or blocking credit card payments, causing creators (including myself) to lose a chunk of their supporters and users to no longer be subscribed to creators they follow.

If you find that you’re no longer supporting this project but should be, I would check in with the rest of your list of supported cr...

Everstone Daycare - Public Demo v0.1

Howdy everyone!

I got a bit sidetracked with a personal artistic endeavor but it’s here! The first public demo release!

It will be posted on https://12games.itch.io/everstone-daycare-public-demo and includes all the content available during Day 1 (including the latest changes from the current demo).

Please feel free to show your friends!

Everstone Daycare – Credits Opt-in

Howdy everyone!

In the previous demo, I added a credits page to the title screen of the game with my, Spooky, Tennet, and our guest-writer LegsWithSnake’s names on it. I’ve been wanting to credit the Patrons somewhere in the game itself, and now I’ve finally set something up!

It took me a while, but I’ve finally set up a Google Forms for opting-in or out of being credited in-game....

Everstone Daycare - Progress Report (July, 31, 2023)

Howdy everyone!

As mentioned in the Demo post, I'll be moving my usual updates and thoughts to Progress Reports to help clear up space in the Demo posts.

Thank you to everyone that has stayed so far during this long pause in content. I'm only finally getting through the last few bits of this creative block I'm in and trying to get into a pace that won't cause me to burn myself out or exhaust myself because of having to cram. I'm a little annoyed at myself for b...

Everstone Daycare v0.11 - Demo Release

Howdy everyone!

A shorter post this time as I'd like to move my thoughts, personal updates, and future plans for the project to the Progress Report I will be posting soon. That might be the format I'll be going with from here on, so that the Demo posts aren't too cluttered. It's only a small update this time, as I'm trying to shake off the last bits of my creative block.

Anyway, please enjoy!

Everstone Daycare – New Sprites and Room BGs

Howdy everyone!

Sorry for the delay. Here are a few new art assets we’ve made that we plan to implement in the upcoming demo!

We have a pair of sprites each for Lucario and Arcanine (drawn by me and Spooky respectively) that hopefully shows off a bit of the character we intend for them. They won’t play a major role in the story for now, but hopefully these sprites convey the type of relationship these two friends have.

There is also a new Trubbish spr...

Everstone Daycare - Scrapped Zangoose Theme

Howdy everyone!

At Tennet’s request, and because I think it sounded nice enough to post, here’s the previous version of Zangoose’s theme that we ended up not using. It sounds very similar to the current version, but we decided it was a little too...intense, JRPG battle theme for something you’re supposed to be listening to in the background as you’re reading text. The newer version has a similar issue, but this one we determined was too much.

We might...

Everstone Daycare – Zangoose’s Theme

Howdy everyone!

After many, many, many drafts, we’ve finally settled on and finished a theme for Nurse Zangoose that we’re happy with.

We wanted to give Zangoose a different vibe from the other nurses, with his theme being a little more intense than the other nurse’s. I wanted at least one of the nurses to have a song with electric guitar in it to contrast with how saccharine most of the other nurse’s themes are (with our main candidates being Ursaring ...

Everstone Daycare - ‘Sneaking Around’ Theme

Howdy everyone!

I forgot that I hadn’t posted this theme earlier. This is the sneaking, scheming theme that played in the last demo during the scene when you and Salandit were thinking up a plan to get into the Toy Room. With the nature of the game, expect to hear this theme more often than not, as you’ll be thinking of schemes and plans throughout to try to hopefully finally get out of the daycare.

This was actually originally a scrapped Zangoose theme tha...

Status Update - May 31, 2023

Howdy everyone!

I apologize for the radio silence and lack of posts this month, and the last minute posting of this status update. I’ve gotten addicted to a video game recently, as well as been fighting the slow, agonizing death of my work computer.

The former is self explanatory, but to explain the latter: My PC has been plagued with memory issues these past few months that have really come to a head this month. I’m assuming this is caused by my old, faili...

Everstone Daycare v0.10 - Demo Release

Howdy everyone!

I apologize again for the long delay and radio silence these last 2 months. I've been a bit consumed with trying to finish this demo and make it as polished as I could after realizing I wouldn't be able to get it out by last month. I didn't feel like I'd be able to face you all otherwise haha.

The main reason for the big delay after the previous announcement is that the amount of things I needed to do to properly implement the latest pieces of c...

Everstone Daycare - Progress Report (March 26, 2023)

Howdy everyone!

Just a quick update. I'm still in quite a bit of a funk, the same once since last month, but I've been chipping away at the work needed to be done for the next scene. As with last time, if I'm not able to release the demo by this month, I will probably freeze payments for next month as compensation. Hopefully though, it won't come to that.

I apologize for the silence. I'm not the best at keeping people updated, especially when I'm not in the bes...

Everstone Daycare - More 'Caught!' CGs

Howdy everyone!

Here are the remainder of the CGs for the upcoming scene to be released. This will definitely be the most explicit scene added to the game so far, with art to reflect it. 

We're still trying to find a balance between how innocent versus how adult we want the aesthetic to be, and how much we should show in our more risque scenes. We'll play it more conservatively for now, and keep everything beneath the diaper inside.

Still, I hope thi...

Everstone Daycare - Caught! CGs

Howdy everyone!

A teaser for what’s to come in the next demo! These aren’t all the CGs that we plan to include just yet, but as you can see, there’s going to be some ‘getting caught’ and ‘getting embarrassed in front of everyone’ involved.

Everstone Daycare - T for Trying to be Sneaky

Howdy everyone!

A sneaky stealth theme! Fitting that we should have one with all the sneaking around that’s part of this game and story. This was actually originally a draft for Zangoose’s theme, but it sounds much better as a musical theme for when you’re secretly up to no good, doesn’t it?

Please feel free to tell us what you think! Too repetitive? Too loud? Not fitting? We’d love to hear your comments!

Everstone Daycare v0.9b - January Demo pt.2!

Howdy everyone!

As promised, here’s the second part of the version 0.9 demo (aka 0.9b), now including the full story content that was intended to be part of last month’s demo. It includes all the updates to the Retraining Program Pokemon’s sprites and the continuation of the story after your morning change with Ursaring!

Unfortunately, I’ve had to delay moving all the optional content to Day 2 and onwards as promised. It turned out to be a much more com...

Everstone Daycare - More Expression Sprites

Howdy everyone!

Here are a couple more sprites, more expressions for currently existing characters. Not much more to say! 

Enjoy!

Everstone Daycare v0.9a - January 2023 Demo pt.1

Howdy Everyone! And welcome to 2023!

As mentioned in the progress report earlier, this is the first half of the Day 2 morning content, plus the Nurse Mew hypnosis scene.

I’ll keep it short for now, and save all the musings for when I’ve fully finished implementing the content, so here’s a quick rundown!

What’s present in this demo:

• Nurse Mew’s Hypnosis Punishment scene - The scene intended to play wh...

Everstone Daycare - More New and Updated Sprites

Howdy everyone!

Here are the remaining new sprites Spooky has made for the Retraining Pokemon! With that, everyone relevant should have their own sprite now, with more expressions planned to come in the future.

There’s also a small update to Scyther (a fix to his face and eyes), and a new alt with him wearing some “mittens” to help cover his unfortunately dangerous natural appendages.

Thank you and enjoy!

Everstone Daycare - Ursaring's Alternate Theme

Howdy everyone!

Here’s a new theme for Ursaring (and to an extent, Pangoro) that’s a little more boisterous and in your face. We intend to use this for scenes where Ursaring is acting a little more rough, such as when he has to manhandle Pangoro (or even you!) and get them back under control. We felt like his previous theme was a little too ‘nice’ for those situations, though we will still be keeping it as an alternate option!

Please enjoy his new theme...

Everstone Daycare - Progress Report (Jan. 21, 2023)

Howdy everyone!

Sorry for the late update. We’re trying to fit as much as we can into the next demo, and I’ve sort of lost myself in trying to get everything finished.

In fact, there might be too much to fit in in the time we have left! Between all the work we’ve done: Brand new sprites for all the Retraining Pokemon and Nurses Mew and Charmeleon, A new secondary theme and a few additional sprite expressions for Nurse Ursaring, and 13,500 words of new sto...

Everstone Daycare - Progress Report (Jan. 12, 2023)

Howdy everyone! Happy 2023!

Spooky and I are back from our holiday responsibilities, and we’ve been hard at work! Here’s an update on what we’ve been working on so far!

We’ve finished up writing and revising the Nurse Mew hypnosis scene that we’ve had to put off the last few months. This punishment scene won’t be tied to a specific event in the story, and is more of just “the first time you get in trouble with Nurse Mew”. Therefore, it’s plann...

Everstone Daycare - Sprite Updates

Howdy everyone!

Here is the current set of finished updated sprites that Spooky has been working on. I’m particularly happy with how our resident diapered snake, Ekans, came out! We tried going for a style similar to the early seasons of the anime, especially in terms of how they lined and shaded (or rather, didn’t shade) their characters, and hopefull we pulled it off!

More updated sprites to come this month!
