Two minutes to midnight -
The hands that threaten doom!
Two minutes to midnight -
To kill the unborn in the womb!
Man, I guess I never actually paid attention to the lyrics of that song before. The body bags and little rags of children torn in two, And the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you. This is the most heavy-metally heavy-metal song I've heard in ages. But anyway.
Well, you all probably no longer trust me to keep to the deadlines I set myself - and quite rightly! - but we should have the new build up by midnight tonight (or possibly two minutes before). If it's not... I guess you can all spank me or something. Wait, that wouldn't encourage me to get it done at all...
I just have some already-written stuff to drop in, and finalize the coding for. It's bossy redhead house guest stuff, so there's that to look forward too. A lot of it will be place-holdery, but it all should be there. And there's a slew of other new stuff besides.
I guess I've been so anxious about releasing and putting off the new version cause it feels like there isn't much new stuff added, but looking at the word count (that's on screen text that the player actually gets to read in the game), it's gone up from around 72,000 words in the last release to around 92,000 so... yeah, I've actually added quite a lot. It's grown by about a fifth? And work-count should be close to 100k by the time I have the bits I'm pasting in today done. I guess it just does not seem to grow as much as it used to now that it's pretty sizeable to start with, and I am not outright adding whole new areas and all. (Speaking of which, there might be one new area in the town added at some point, and all the shops and things shuffled around a bit for balance, then the town design should be done! Yay for landmarks.)
Any way, yeah, sorry once more for the terrible delays. I am excited to get the build out tonight though, and see what you all think. A weekend of mutant minxes ahead of us! From now on, I think my plan should be to upload a new version each time the games grown by 10,000 words, no matter how small I feel the improvements are. That'll keep me from getting into a tizz about it again, like the big girls blouse that I am.
If you want something monster-girl related to keep you busy till tonight, you could check out http://livenudeghouls.com/ , a fun and pretty looking web coming about a bordello staffed by monster girls. Lots of fun, campy, saucy fun, and the author comes up with a lot of really nice creative ideas that I may well have to steal at some point.
Okay, update TONIGHT, and I'll keep this window open if you want to natter with me or throw me questions/encouragement/abuse in the comments. It will hopefully help keep me focus crocused .

Glad to hear you're alright man - was starting to get concerned!

I have the paddle ready. Midnight can't come soon enough...
Bond - Sorry! I honestly didn't realise how long it had been since I'd commented or updated. I need to set up some sort of alarm or something, I have been losing track of time pretty bad.
Anon 2 - Stop encouraging me to fail! :(
Working on stuff, thinking I'm going to have to give the bossy redhead a name. I thought just referring to her as that would work as a joke, but it's starting to feel dumb to me. Though maybe it's just cause I've been looking at and typing it so much, like when you repeat a word until your brain can't handle it for a while. Yell out names and the first one I like will get used, unless I come up with one before hand.
oop, forgot to type a bit - " I thought just referring to her a "the bossy redhead" would work as a joke, as she never bothers to tell the player her name."
Phoenix?
And we can serve as a poking mechanism - if there is no update from you within 2 weeks, I'll send you an email from now on :p

Dierdre? Iunno, I'm bad at actual real-life names. But ask me to name a fantasy character and I'm all on that crap.
Glad you're actually updating again, Pie. My offer of grammar checking passages is still open, I'd just have to find some way to toss you my skype or somesuch if you're interested.

Vasin, it's spelt Deirdre. NO TYPOS ALLOWED.
I go for "Anna" as a name suggestion.
Gingerly yours

*Ahem* -begin attempt at witty abuse per request
Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby
When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart
Really Good to hear from you again Pie, I think small regular monthly updates would be Fantastic no matter how small they are; any update no matter how small will keep us informed, they will dismiss all concerns we might have on your well-being and progress. A capital idea If you want to keep your following happy and interested and it will help you stay active and satisfied with your personal projects progress
*checks the clock*
Someone's up for some tough love...
Piebuns, time to bend over and assume the spanking submission position.
Hmm, riding crop or studded paddle ?
