Inc House - Lola in the Mirror WIP

 Whimfu1 here.

Quick thing about the image for Screenshot Saturday. This is a placeholder sketch of what will be used as the mirror “store” for purchasing magic powers. I hope to make minor scenes with a shadow version of Lola available in the future as well. Right now, items are only flags as the inventory is not ready.

I’m working on making things fit together right now. Due to how I partitioned the game, it would not play properly from the original start to end of new content without a debug code I was using. As I continue on the 0.02a update, I have reached somewhat of an impasse. I could just fix the bugs and release it as is, however I don’t plan to. I worry I have not put enough H content in yet to warrant the v0.02a moniker. For myself, I think there needs to be one more big H-scene before I release v0.02a, so I will not post the next update in early October as I wanted to do. Once I finish the big must haves to make the update feel complete, I’ll go ahead and post the next demo. My goals are currently self imposed so it’s not a big deal however, when I open a Patreon, I will set a strict schedule for myself. Thank you for all the watches, comments, and messages I have received throughout this process. It means a lot.

Inc House - Rita Couch Stage 2 WIP

Whimfu1 here.

“Screenshot Saturday” with a work in progress image. This image may not even come into play until the 0.3a update. This is slated to be the next stage after the massage scene on the couch with Rita. The premise being you can click the hands to set your state and then massage her that way. This is a common type of minigame that is found elsewhere. I’ll go into specifics on the blog. Either way, not sure how to do this fully so it won’t be included yet. The issue with the next part is it will likely need a puppet and I’m not confident that will work well in Krita.

If you are a connoisseur of these types of game you will likely recognize the set up. Choose a petting hand, a pinching hand, remove clothes, and the logo blocks the insertion option. I’m still fiddling with how the screens in Ren’py are and I will admit this will be a lot of work. Specifically, in the current way I found to do the first massage, I’m looking at up to 20 different screens for this stage of the minigame. The fact Ren’py cannot detect holding down mouse1 is really biting me in the butt. However, I will continue as this is something I want in the game. More interactivity, ect. Still messing with each option: grope, tongue, toy? Still not sure how to do it yet.

Inc House - Changing Room Kabedon Preview

 

Whimfu1 here.

Another “Screenshot Saturday” for everyone. This is a small preview of what follows meeting Lily. While this portion has been done for quite some time, I feel it’s important to keep these updates visually different. Most of my work has been on minigames this week. I fixed some stuff with Luna’s Shower Minigame and it feels 10x better than it did. Not much else to say but that. Planning the Patron and such.

Inc House - Lily Intro Preview

 

Whimfu1 here.

Continuing work on the game. I’m trying to aim for version 0.02a to be released in early October. The image above includes a preview of “the new girl”, Lily. She is working at the same store Leni is and will be a minor side character. I do want to state, I don’t know how far the other character’s stories will go. I plan to launch a Patreon and will likely include a funding goal to expand the game to the other heroines. While I do believe this is a “Chekhov’s Gun” situation, doing side characters would take too much of my time, I will likely keep it to a one scene maximum for side heroines. In this way, I hope the game will be easier to finish.

One thing I should mention is that Lily does look different as she was ported from my previous game attempt “Loud Dorm”. I did set her colors to be more inline with the “Inc House” aesthetic however the line work is not. This isn’t a big issue at the moment however her style may change when I go further along. I think an overall goth look for all characters would be better.

Inc House - Luna Shower Minigame Preview

 

Whimfu1 here.

Was working on this but forgot to post it for “Screenshot Saturday”. Here we have the first shower scene, featuring Luna, which will require a power to access. The art works well however the functionality is not there yet. I’m pretty far behind with the mechanics for the next update and had to scale it back. Turns out Ren’py can not handle click and hold commands. It can only detect mouse down and mouse up commands so right now it’s currently controlled by those text buttons on top. I don’t expect to get the minigame functional by v0.02a however this is a good first preview.

This minigame is inspired by the old flash games by Meet & Fuck. The idea is that you will feed a progress bar by peeking while Luna is distracted. At random intervals Luna will begin to notice the player’s peeking and you must stop peeking before her anger bar fills too much. You win by filling up your progress bar all the way or lose if her anger maxes out. Right now, I’ve yet to figure out the functionality of the button press and doing random cycles for Luna’s behavior. Each heroine should have her own version, Luna’s will tie into the story first and unlock the others on subsequent uploads.
