Hey everyone, hope you're doing okay. Core aspects of the Laura game have been already underway though they're still using placeholder assets so it would look too rough to show you at this stage. I'll share to you the main premise of the game and some WIP artworks.

In this game, you are a new manager hired by Laura to run her dojo. you're in for a huge surprise as you find out in your first day that Laura borrowed from a loan shark to fund this dojo's construction and deadline is looming fast. Scouting and training the best fighters to win huge prizes off big tournaments is one way, but one look at the voluptuous owner you realize there are other, sleazier ways to pay the debt.

Currently, the simplest explanation of the game loop is you try to scout/attract students to the dojo, there are 2 archetypes of students that will join; talented fighters that can get better really quick and has higher chance to win high-paying tournaments, or thirsty students who are just enamored with Laura but are willing to pay higher monthly fee. You will try to balance these two types or go all-in on either to pay the dojo's debts.

This is how Laura looks in the end-of-week management screen, hoping to implement some kind of customizations, but I won't go too crazy with it.

One of the activities(that will cost energy) you can do in the EOW screen is private sparring to improve the one of the students' stats, more effective if you're training a talented student. The other activity would be more effective to the hornier students and will convince them to pay more monthly fee.

You can close the week with scouting to look for those talented fighters to enroll to the dojo, but if you want to attract more financially irresponsible, more perverted students,

you can politely ask Laura to broadcast a XXX stream to do so.

So that's it for today's update, I hope I can hit you up with more, some other time soon. Stay safe.

thank you for your participation, polling for voice acting has ended and the result is as of following:

also, within a week, the new demo got over 6000 views, I don't know if that breaks my previous record but it has definitely become my highest rated upload yet, so thank you! this is a pretty big morale boost to me. Stay safe and wish me a speedy completion. laters.

Still can't be bothered to find out how to make videos work in this post, so, sorry and please check out this post.

Still shooting for that 2020 release date.

yeah sorry it's been ages since the last update because world situation ruining every schedule. But I'm still working on it, I'm really hoping I can finish it before end of year. In the mean time, here are some character arts:

I searched up and down on how to embed a video in here and I gave up, so I'll just leave a link to this twitter post for the animation teaser

Voting has concluded with the victory of Laura Matsuda with 22 out of 46 total votes! ZAP ZAP!!

The lead stays respectable to the very end but by no means it was a landslide. Like I said earlier this week, FF7's reputation is so strong a lot of people don't mind voting without any proof of concept. Which leads me to a few points of thought:

-in the grand scheme of things this looks to be the perfect start for me, as having one main character means I can keep the scope of the project small enough.

-furthermore, I can use this first project as my proving ground to sharpen up my skill for, who knows? maybe a second game featuring FF7 waifus?;) because the demand is unsurprisingly, significant.

-although I give all my heart and pride for every project, the DOA one will have to take a backseat for now, I think that's the true value of this poll; to give me perspective, and I'm happy to get that. Doesn't mean it's the end, but I can't promise you anything for now.

TL;DR Laura won, I'll make a game featuring her. FF7 is very popular obviously, ride with me and we'll see how it goes. Thanks for voting!

it's about one day away till closing, and Laura is still in the lead with the total number of voters at the sweet round number of 40. The lead is pretty respectable but anything can happen in the last moments. as usual vote here if you haven't. See you at the next post which will be the result!

vote here

just gonna keep it short, as of the time of this post, Laura is in the lead! at one point FF7 was always side by side with her but the last few votes had been steadily going in Laura's favor. Just noticed that coincidentally Laura's vote color is green, like her color scheme. Is it a prophecy? See you again in a few days.

Hello! it's a few hours after a day since I started the poll, and there are already 17 votes, I'm happy with the engagement rate so far :) early on for the longest time there were actually no votes for Laura! and now she's neck in neck with FF7 waifus.

Speaking of FF7, it's amazing how much people put faith on the waifus without me showing any proof of concepts. Not that surprised, though, it's FF-freakin-7. Tifa and Aerith are pretty much guaranteed IF FF7 won the poll. I'll look up further inspirations from the actual game come release date. I'm specifically eyeing for the honey-bee arc.

Christie and Lisa's story will be both embarking on their separate covert missions which accidentally is on the same facility; a secret lab that doubles as an elite underground brothel. Will they escape or will they become a part of it? Hmmm.

Contrary to the animation demo, Laura's story is the more light hearted one, It's just Laura being Laura, whose hot-headedness and recklessness while chasing a thief that stole her brother's bag led her to the seedier part of town.

OK, that's it for the mini-update, vote if you haven't already, thanks for all who already has, I'll update again mid-week and once more closer to the deadline. Take care and stay safe.

Testing testing 123,

hey, so, lately I've been getting rather positive response for the christie animation, which is great! As a relatively new user here, I want to test the visibility of a news post to communicate with my followers (I assume the post will show up to your feed). The gist is I have a few ideas for a VN-type game other than this christie animation, one of the prototype I will upload hopefully within a week. Hint: it's based on Street Fighter. What do you think?
