Sihai's Legacy : Relaunch - 6/10/24

HAH! Surprise, it's EARLY! The full relaunch has FINALLY been posted for everyone to play and (hopefully) enjoy! New sprites, new CGs, fixed dialogue, dialogue tweaks, half the game is more or less rewritten, a billion behind the scenes fixes and such (thanks Wattson!) and- well, best to go see it for yourself!

Since the relaunch is finally out properly, I've taken down the relaunch testing thing I had up for a while. Now, the Sprite Glossary and the CG Galler...

Goals for Final Relaunch - 5/21/24

Ok so, I have a deadline: June 12th. After that, I'll be spirited away until a couple days before FFXIV Dawntrail's launch and Y'all know I'm going to be totally out of commission until I finish with THAT. So, yeah. I have from now until then to get the following list done and ship the game properly!

I'll make no guarantee that I'll get all of these done, so bear with me. This is just the list of things you could reasonably expect me to do, even if not everything man...

Jorge Route Relaunch! - 5/21/24

NEARLY THERE! As of RIGHT NOW, Jorge's route's relaunch has been posted for Mac, PC, and Android. Hopefully it doesn't break!

Jorge's route was surprisingly tricky to get through, especially as I added in quite a few new text tags ...

Jorge Route Progression - 4/28/24

Hello! Thought I'd give a bit of a status update:

At the moment, I'm halfway through Jorge's July 15th update, which puts me at roughly halfway finished with his route. That said, there'll be a rather significant adjustment made to Jorge's route depending on if you're on the true route or not, so at least one day will wind up playing out fairly differently, and other days will require some significant tweaks. So I'd say I'm actually a little less than h...

Shen Route Progress - 4/7/24

Would you believe me if I said that I'm actually nearly done with updating Shen's route? I don't really know what happened, but I guess I hit my stride somewhere in there and got out day after day. Pretty neat! Hopefully it all comes together properly, there's really so much stuff in these days from making sure certain aspects are correct in the overall plot and such to fixing character dialogue, to slight expression tweaks. I'm sure things slip through the cracks, but hop...

Alan Route Relaunched! - 3/25/24

Alan's route is relaunched! Come try out the sprite gallery, take some cute boys' pants off, whatever you feel like. We've got some story tweaks, character tweaks, sprite tweaks, a new music track, and a freshly refurbished sprite glossary!

On top of that, I've decided to put the Android build in here after how much demand for it there's been. Here's hoping it works properl...

Sprite Gallery - 3/23/24

Ew, it's been a whole month since the last status update. Sorry, I must've forgot to make more status updates than this. I've been getting some serious progress done, though!

Since Alan's relaunched route is nearly ready for testing, here's what you can expect to see.

Wow he's large. Unfortunately, I have a headache and don't feel like resizing the image! Ah well.

Ba...

Paul Route Tweaks - 2/23/24

Hi! As some of you may have noticed (and some of you definitely did), there was whole "treat" of a CG missing from the last build. My bad, I messed up some variable naming. What's actually worse is that, when I re-uploaded with that fixed, apparently I forgot to change the name of the CG itself so THAT was wrong. While you could read the scene, it wouldn't show the CG. Sorry about that, but it's fixed now! I hope, anyway. It worked in my playtests, but sometimes things go ...

PAUL RELAUNCH UPDATE - 2/11/24

Hey y'all what's up it's ya boy Alvis here with a new episode of-

It WILL break if you go down Alan's, Shen's, or Jorge's routes right now. Jehu's and Paul's should...

Very Early Progress Post - 1/31/24

Help I've been consumed by yearning for old men

Jokes(?) aside, I didn't want to let January come and go without some kind of progress post to keep y'all in the loop. Honestly, I don't have all that much to say. Haven't done much art-wise since the Eric thing I made earlier (still gotta complete that, though I'm still more or less planning to complete it when I'm feeling like it). Writing, meanwhile, has been a more productive front. I'm getting into the w...

Year in Review - 1/1/24

It's been a long year! Lots of ups and downs, lots of unexpected surprises, lots of developments I never thought I'd have had to deal with.  I mean, the reshading experiment really started in March of 2023, and finally, finally, I was able to release something playable for y'all. There were plenty of bugs and typos, as per the norm (blagh) but I'm glad to see people's reactions to it have been pretty positive so far! I'm really happy about that, and I'm glad ...

JEHU UPDATE - 12/24/23

Sorry, I wanted to wait until Christmas but I'm guessing I'll be pretty busy away from working on stuff and things. Regardless, here it is: the long-awaited Jehu route update!

Both Intern and Employee tiers should be able to make use of the link below in order to play through this revamped route for our favorite boar.

SOMETHING COMING - 12/23/23

Long story short: nearly all the writing is done for Jehu's route! To get it prepared for playtesting, I just have a handful of things to do.

1. Shore up the day 4 stuff (I saved it for later because a lot of it is shared content)

2. Make sure the dad ending works properly (I nearly forgot :x)

3. Draw up a couple tiny modifiers for Jehu's sprite

4. Playtest it myself.

I decided I'll release the game in waves for y'all, until the relaunch is fi...

Work continues! Any questions? - 12/5/23

I might have accidentally mixed up month and day in the last two or so posts. Oops. Anyway, I thought I should give you all an update!

In fun news, after doing a bit of research and asking for advice, I've improved the butts these boys have to offer at the fuck-stations! Here they are (above) in all their uncensored glory. Who would y'all stop at? I can't lie, I'd probably go to Jehu first... but lord do the others tempt me as well...

In exciting news, I've bee...

Status Report - 13/11/23

Been a couple of weeks since my last post so I thought I'd keep y'all updated:

Few things! One, I'm currently at work updating Jehu's route to be up to date and such. I have a lot of sprite fixing to do and it's very slow, tedious work. I'm chunking it down little by little, but I can physically feel myself burning out (not fun).

Each of the routes has something in particular that adds a layer of tedium to the updating.

-Jehu's tone and manner of speaking...

They're Done! - 28/10/23

Finally, some while later and we did it! All 46 or so (plus alts) CGs are DONE and ready to be put in the game- a massive step forward, as this was a major goal for the relaunch! These 5 are but a snippet- though I've shown all of them (I think) on discord, I might just leave them a secret to those who are planning on seeing them through the game itself. Lots of important stuff will be changed, including outright adding, removing, or vastly changing scenes- and not just at...

I'm back! Time for more CGs! - 10/14/23

Howdydoodle, I'm finally back from a week on vacation with my family. It was fun but also very exhausting, and I'm glad to be back and getting more work done- hell, the week off seems to have done me some real good since I've gotten at least 5 more CGs finished up since I got back a few days ago!

At this point, there's only 5 more days (as in combined days, july 13th across all routes etc) that have CGs uncompleted- and within those, some of the CGs are already done!...

Woah CG time let's gooooo - 9/29/23

I think I'll not show off all the CGs at the moment (gives you something extra to look forward to!) but I wanted to show y'all that I've got a whole bunch of CGs cooked up and ready to go! I've still got so many CGs left to go, but I'm really liking how much I've gotten complete c:

(For reference there's still like almost 30 CGs left for me to make, but yea. I got most of these done over the last week, so I've got a good rate of progress done!)

How are y'all fe...

Big Status Update, getting closer! - 9/17/23

Ok! I know it's been a hot minute- apparently my last "weekly" update was like, closer to 3 weeks ago. Sorry about that :x I was making progress, but I forgot to keep you all posted here on Patreon. I've got a few visual updates, teasers, and a big goal coming in hot, so take a seat!

First, let's look at these sprites. 

I think I previously said that I'd make Ohm less-endowed than the general Sihai cast, but I realized something very funny while getting a ...

Weekly Results - 8/28/23

Ok so remember how I said I'd get Alan's route replanning stuff complete? Well. I got a few more days done then realized that it'd be a lot easier if I were to just play through his route again and make notes as I go. Because of this, I actually spent the majority of the time and like 3 all-nighters in a row (hehe) getting all the sprites exported, complete, and put into the game. I also organized my sprites renpy file, made a new main menu screen, and remade the UI. I'm p...

Hiiiiii (Status Update) - 8/22/23

I wanted to get some CG work done, and I guess I actually did a bit since I got Jorge changed in Jorge's intro CG, plus I edited MC in it too to fit more (I literally only remembered that while typing this), but I didn't get as much done as I intended- for that, I apologize.

Behind the scenes, I actually did get quite a bit done! I completed sketches for... 13 characters, one of which you've potentially seen a CG of in-game! I guess you've seen more than that already...

(I hurt my neck again why me) - 8/12/23

I finally got Paul's route's plan completely written up earlier, looking forward to showing y'all when we get back on track c:

As for what I can currently show you, I updated Jehu's bulge and Paul's pants in general (including his bulge). This shouldddd be the last sprite update I need to do! Aside from some small things with some expression pieces, we should be good with the sprite work!

I've also got some good work done on Jorge's introductory CG- I mostly ju...

Weekly Jorge... I mean, weekly Results! - 7/30/23

Awright! Jorge's done! All his expressions, his outfits, his base, and even his meat are complete and ready to go! The salt-n-peppery look goes hard, I think.

Pay special attention to his eyes: depending on if he wears his glasses or not, they'll vary in terms of seriousness. I think it'll be a neat effect and will help show the different sides of Jorge's character C:

The second image here shows the evolution of Jorge over time, like the one I made for Alan. It...

Alans! - 7/24/23

Here he is in all his very-hairy glory!

If that swimsuit looks like it's unlikely to contain him throughout the whole of the waterpark update, then... I hope you're looking forward to seeing him on that day :3c

Weekly Result! - 7/23/23

Hehe 23/23, I like that. Numbers are funny.

My weekly result (singular) this go around is Alan again. Honestly, I didn't want to make the weekly results post yet since I wanted to finish up his expressions and post the big ol collage of outfits and expressions that I did before. However, since it's already Sunday night and I want to show that I'm still, you know, doing things... here you are!

Alan's gotten a few updates since last time- the flower pin that he a...

Weekly Result Singular / B is the winner! - 7/17/23

Haha I got sick oops

I thought I should let you know though, B was the winner! From here on out, Alan's hair (and tail) will be this nice shade of brown c:

I'll be trying to finish up Alan this upcoming week and hopefully get going on Jorge as well!

Alan's getting a haircut - 7/13/23

By the power of patreon voting powers, I summon thee! Employees, tell me what y'all feel is the bestversion of Alan here!

Weekly* Results - 7/8/23

I think it's been over a week since I last made one of these posts- two, even. Turns out we literally spent less than 24 hours in Chicago for the funeral, and head back almost immediately. We still wound up eating up 4-5 days, and I got in a pretty yucky state around then as well. Blahblahblah excuses excuses, but I figured I'd let y'all know why I didn't get anything of substance done last week. (At least, not for Sihai. I did some Billyverse/Memory Eternal stuff while I ...

Wow FFXVI is really good! / Status (Shen) Update - 6/24/23

I finally got my copy of FFXVI yesterday and then immediately played it for like 12 hours straight. The game? It is. So good. As for the meantime, I got that Shen finished up!

I included 3 images for this, so I'll go over them real fast.

1- Base Shen!

Unseen is that the man now wears suspenders beneath his vest- in fact, all paragons (or dragons, or people with thick enough tails) will be wearing suspenders when they can. My reasoning is essentially becau...
