Just finishing up on the writing and polish of this scene and then I'll be able to ship off the update. But I'm having a guest from out of town over to see me and my partner before partner goes back to his home country, so will probably have the update out around mid of next week.
I need to point out how crazy (and crazy GOOD) @nyaruh.bsky.social is. She tells me she knows he won't be naked in the CG either way, but look at the level of detail I find in his musculature and general anatomy when checking the PSD for the next Jun CG?! I got excited just looking at these.
Couple WIPs for a future scene. There's a fair few more, but these are the ones I'm comfortable showing for now (don't wanna spoil the whole thing). Suffice to say, @nyaruh.bsky.social does amazing work as usual.
Nyaruh is trying to figure out which way to have the cum in this variation work. Realistically it probably wouldn't come out at all, but we can eschew a bit of realism for the sake of art, right? That said, which do you prefer? Any suggestions on it? Leave a comment with 1, 2 or 3 and why.
Yuu might have gotten a more than he bargained for. Certainly bigger... then again, when you're only told to "get down and suck it", it's not like you have very many options. A wonderful taste (heh) of what's to come, courtesy of the amazing @nyaruh.bsky.social!
Debated with myself whether to post this publicly as well. Decided to go with a (even) lower resolution version of the teaser that patrons got. Reason for heavy watermarking and low res is the consistent usage of TA art for AI. You people know who you are.
Even on very very old art before the body types were as refined (Nyaruh wasn't as experienced with drawing muscle or flats and stuff and the designs were still being felt out), Yuu had an 8-pack while Sho had a 6-pack.
We haven't said much on it so far, but Keisuke's sprite is being worked on, and it's finally at a point where we can show it. @nyaruh.bsky.social got started on his arm variations recently, so there are still some elements missing from his body, but... Man, he's already coming along great!
Showing off some of the progress with Jun's sprite, as the outfits and body are complete and it's now heading into the last stage of development—the facial expressions! A big thank you to @nyaruh.bsky.social for her tireless effort on it!
Also, based on popular request, I'm making an addition to the UI showing also the current calendar day below the current in-game day counter.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention but the last Haruki update also shipped with a small change to Shoichi's sprite. His tail wagging animation was slowed down based on player feedback to make it a bit more natural. Here's a comparison of the before and after (after is down in the thread).
Realized that in the teasers posted early, we forgot to show that Jun will in fact also have a head variation like Shoichi does. This is the only other expression he has drawn right now, but you guys can see how it'll help boost his emoting abilities.
A quick update cause Jun's wrist was a tad too noticeable, and I mentioned it would be for the best if it were drawn different. Sorry, Nyaruh. I know I'm being a pain here 😅
Showing off some of the new sprite variations Jun will have. The expressions that will go with the arms aren't done yet, but he'll be better able to transmit his energy! Also, cute undies! We have excited, surprised and vulnerable arms now! Courtesy of @nyaruh.bsky.social!
Jun really is coming along swimmingly... Bar a little mishap where @nyaruh.bsky.social lost the PSD with a day's work and had to redo stuff just yesterday. She's a hero for redrawing so quick after that. Give her all the praise! Now we have this handsome young man to gawk at c:
Time for a sprite update part 3. This time our dear boy Jun. Once again, courtesy of our amazing @nyaruh.bsky.social! His body type should now fit better with how it's displayed in the more recent CGs.
Asked @nyaruh.bsky.social at the last second to do a new arm variation for Shoichi since I thought it would perfectly fit the scene I'm writing. Nonsense meme-y script though to not give away what the scene is actually about. Still, let's commend her for how awesome this looks.
Haruki's looking very peaceful here, huh? Wonder what's the occasion... Once again, a wonderful job by @nyaruh.bsky.social, showing the best of our angry wolf!
Update 0.72 is now available for patrons. If you're one, go check it out: www.patreon.com/posts/115125...
TA update will in all likelihood come out tonight (31st) for patrons. Having to adjust my plans a bit to get it finished in time, but I rather do that than delay stuff. In the meantime, I realized I needed casual dress Coach Mikado for the update, so @nyaruh.bsky.social got it to me quick.
While checking the earlier parts of this TA update (Shoichi's bad path), I saw this scene and thought it could be enhanced by one small addition. A few minutes bugging @nyaruh.bsky.social and writing code later and ta-da. Yes, it's just a sweat drop, but I love it.
Somehow, this man gets more and more handsome with each passing day. @nyaruh.bsky.social's certainly outdone herself this time! #furry #art
Haruki sure looks cute when no one's looking, sitting there, hugging his knees and staring off into space. I wonder what he's thinking about. Any ideas @nyaruh.bsky.social? #art #furry #VN
And then we have the NSFW version. These were definitely changed since then, I can say that much. @nyaruh.bsky.social #art #furryart #NSFW
Here's a VERY oldy pic from back during Tennis Ace's first year. @nyaruh.bsky.social drew this one back in 2017. Talk about nostalgia trip! #art #furryart
