Crisis Point: Extinction - Lewd Metroidvania (2019 Public Demo now available!)

[Anon_42]

 

Hey there, everyone! I'm Anon42, lead developer of Crisis Point: Extinction. I have a long history with programming and game design - what kid doesn't want to make games, after all? Through my lifelong love and study of gaming I've grown a pretty solid foundation on design; what makes a game fun, and how to achieve that holy matrimony between art, programming, and design that leads to a truly satisfying gaming experience. Now I've decided to combine that with another passion all of us can agree on: porn.

Click here to download the 2019 Crisis Point: Extinction Public Demo!

Crisis Point: Extinction is a Hentai Metroidvania ("Hentroidvania") platformer in which you play as headstrong military soldier Alicia (pictured above) as she explores a mysterious alien planet.

Set in the not-too-distant future, mankind has finally discovered the secrets to long-distance space travel and, in their haste to explore the stars, are infected with a virus that alters the Y chromosome in developing infants, causing all children to be born female.

As Alicia, you must outwit, outshoot, and outlast the various creatures lurking on and below the planet's surface as she locates survivors and explores deep caves, ancient ruins, alien jungles, and more, all while searching for a cure to save humanity.

Click here to view the Crisis Point: Extinction gameplay trailer on YouTube!

The gameplay of Crisis Point revolves around exploration and finding new abilities, ranging from an explosive blaster to an aerial jump. Powering yourself up will enable you to access new areas and even more powerups, but with new environments comes new threats, and throughout the adventure you'll get to see a huge variety of sexual content, from in-game sprite animated sex scenes, to high-resolution Visual Novel-esque CG sequences.
 

Fetishes in the game include, but are not limited to: futanari, breast expansion, light corruption, tentacles, egg laying, light cum inflation (some potentially objectionable fetishes can be toggled off)

 

Sexual content in Crisis Point is all consensual - those expecting Game Over Rape, as is the typical style of sexual content in action-platformers, will not find it here. During the game, the player has the ability to entice non-boss enemies for sex at any moment, which will result in one of the sprite sex scenes above, and heal the player for a small amount of health on climax. In addition to this, certain enemies and environment traps (not many right now - more to come in the future) will release spores which heighten Alicia's libido, causing her to lose control and become wildly horny. When this happens, she'll drop to her knees and begin masturbating on the spot, which will also invite any nearby enemies to come have sex with her, meaning not all H-scenes must be explicitly player-initiated. Aside from the sprite sex content, there are high-resolution Visual Novel-esque CG sequences with full voice acting and small bits of lore (like the Tentacle scene linked above) that can be accessed shortly after reaching the game's 2nd area. By capturing enemies and sending them back to base camp, Alicia is able to have sex with those enemies in an effort to learn more about them, their mating habits, and the way the planet's atmosphere is affecting the minds and behaviours of the warped military soldiers and scientists.

 

It's been a long time since we released a new public demo, but we're finally at a point where we're satisfied with the state of the game and ready to kick things into overdrive. With that in mind, if you have any interest in the game at all, please feel free to download the 2019 Crisis Point: Extinction public demo below and give it a go!

I remember the game when it came out years ago and the noticeble difference in the sprites it now has is nice. I recall in the lastest one i played you where able to reach the jungle which is the area number... 4? 5?

Anyway the music is really nice and the voice actors did a very good job

Thanks man! The jungle is called the Deep Soil, and it's only area 3, actually. We have 5 total areas planned, with 4 of them being implemented to some degree; the Caves, the Summit, the Deep Soil, and the Catacombs, in that order. I'm glad you liked the music and voice acting though! The people working on my team have been wonderful to work with, and I'm always glad to hear their efforts are paying off.

This looks very promising I'm going to pledge for this games compleation.

Hey everybody! Now that v0.34 has officially begun development, it's time to get back to our regular weekly update schedule. I've got a few things to show off this week, so let's get started!


Click here to watch the new, WIP cutscene added to the intro on YouTube

First off is a short cutscene at the beginning of the game, after the intro text crawl, which you can view by going to the youtube link above. This scene is still a bit WIP, as I want to add some foley sound effects to it, and possibly change one of Alicia's poses - I also have a CG sequence planned that'll go between the text crawl and this cutscene, to give further context to Alicia's ship crashing, but this scene alone should improve things a bit!




Next up is the Caves tileset rework, which I showed off a little bit a while back. Left is old, right is new. I was doing the original rework myself, but Puffernutter recently took over and has been hard at work redoing everything. It's not quite finished yet, and we want to make some changes to make it look a bit less busy, but it brings the Caves tileset closer inline with the rest of the game artistically, despite being a relatively subtle change.




Last up, we have a little teaser for our new enemy that will be coming in v0.34! This guy will show up first in the Catacombs, and he's the replacement for the Hellhound I've been talking about, at least gameplay-wise. He'll have completely new H-scenes, as you can probably tell by how different his design is. It's possible only the regular H-scene will be ready for v0.34, depends on how much Orexius manages to get done, but I'll keep you updated on that front.


Alright, that's enough outta me for this update! Thanks for reading everyone - and as always, thank you so much for supporting us and making this game possible ❤️ See you all in the next update!

Hey everybody, time for another Crisis Point: Extinction weekly development update! There's not too much visual to show off this week, a lot of the work done was on behind-the-scenes stuff or things that aren't too exciting, but lets get into the two things I do want to show off.

 

[MEDIA=youtube]WRSU0QeLWF8[/MEDIA]

First is probably the more exciting of the two, and that's a new ability for Alicia being added in v0.34! The Omnidash, showcased in the video up above, is an upgrade for Alicia's Dash ability that allows you to dash in all 8 directions, rather than just horizontally. In the video you can see me dashing repeatedly, but in the actual game you can only dash once per jump - the ability to dash straight up allows you to massively increase your vertical exploration distance, though, and once we add the double jump ability back in, double jumping will refresh your dash, allowing you to chain Jump > Dash > Double Jump > Dash for some crazy mobility! It's a hell of a lot of fun to play with, imo, so hopefully you'll enjoy it too.

 

Next is a small teaser for an upcoming NPC. They're a little too nude for public Patreon posts, so you'll have to get by with this silhouette teaser for now  You might remember me mentioning that I wanted to add some NPCs that will require a pretty big overhaul of an area, and I wasn't sure if they would make it in time for this update. I'm still not confident it'll be done in time, so it's possible you won't see this NPC for some time, but this silhouetted lady is part of that big overhaul I was talking about. Extremely long-time followers might just be able to get some idea of who she is..

 

Alright, that's all for me this week. Sorry for the smaller update post, I spent a lot of my time this week working on something secret coming this update, as well as behind-the-scenes stuff like I mentioned above, and not everything that was done is really interesting enough to be in the update post. Hopefully next week's update will be a little more interesting, but one way or another everything needs to get done! As always, thank you all so very much for the support, and I'll see you all next update!

Hey, sorry for the supremely late reply, but thanks for the kind words and the dropbox link suggestion! I wasn't even aware that was a feature, so I'll see about updating that anywhere I can.

Hey everybody, time for another weekly update! I looked over our to-do list for the rest of this update - and to be perfectly honest, it's looking like a lot of the rest of this update will be focused on non-visual things. I feel like I should let you all know that now, the next several updates probably won't have that much to show off visually (this one won't either), but there's still plenty being done, and there's a good chunk of new H-content coming this update too, including 2 brand new CGs and the Lurker H-scenes! With all that out of the way, let's move on to what we got done this week specifically.

 

Orexius has been hard at work animating the Lurker. He's fully functional in gameplay now, and so Orex was working on his normal (non-BE) H-scene, and he just finished up the loop today. Go ahead and have a gander!

 

 

 

For my part, I've been having trouble getting back in the swing of programming, not sure why, but I decided to spend this week doing other work for the game, like writing the two new CGs I mentioned were being added (the Lurker CG and another secret one), planning some stuff I need for this update, writing more environmental dialogues, etc. Most of my writing work will be focused around the NPC I posted two weeks ago and the things surrounding them, but I want to try and squeeze in at least a little bit of dialogue in other places too.

 

Alright, that's about it for this update. Remember to look for that Lurker H-scene if you're interested in seeing it - sorry again that this update is on the smaller side, but I am getting back into it, and I'm excited about the new content coming this update!
 

Before I end this post, I want to get it out into the world that I want to start doing streams again occasionally - I don't have a schedule yet, and ideally I'd like to stream with someone else like Orexius, since programming isn't all that exciting to watch, but I'll keep you all updated on that when I figure out something more concrete. Thank you all for your support, and for sticking with us even when things are a bit on the slow side. We'll see you next update!

Hey everybody! It's time for another weekly update! Before we get started on the usual things, I have a special announcement!

 

 

 

https://www.patreon.com/datgame

 

The link up above will take you to my good friend Shady's patreon page, where you can find and download the new public demo for his latest game, Shady Lewd Kart! Not only is it a great kart racing game with a lot of love and a lot of lewds, buuuut you can also find our very own Alicia in the game as a playable racer!

 

 

 

Right now she's not available in the story mode, just the other game modes, but she'll be getting her own story later on, with lewds included of course! There's a bunch of other lewd ladies from various H-games like Future Fragments, Divine Arms, Paizuri University, and more. I urge you all to check it out, especially since the demo is free, and consider throwing some support their way if you like what you see - they absolutely deserve it!

 

With that done then, on to the rest of this update!

 

Like I mentioned last week, there's probably not going to be a whole lot in the way of visual updates for the rest of this update cycle - a lot of what we're working on is either stuff I don't want to ruin by talking about it, or just plain uninteresting. I'll try to keep at least one visual treat for each week's post though, and for this week it'll be more work done on the Caves tileset! Last time I posted about the Caves tileset, it was more or less just a small improvement in the overall art of the caves - it still more or less looked the same, and you had to look pretty close to notice the differences. Now though.. well, see for yourself.

 

 

 

There's a comparison shot for ya! The top image is the old one, if that's not obvious, and the bottom is what Puffernutter has been working on. We decided to scrap the idea of leaving the Caves artstyle completely untouched, and instead focus on making it more visually interesting all around - which includes not only adding more of the detail tiles you might be familiar with, like the little glowing flowers, but also adding more, like these badass spiral stalagmites, all on top of an altered color palette and style! I have even more things planned to update the look of the caves further, and I can't wait to show those off when they're done. It's very possible that there will be some mismatched tiles in this coming update - the Caves tileset is going to be a much bigger rework than initially intended, and while I won't need to COMPLETELY re-tile every room like I did with the Summit art rework, I will need to do touchups basically everywhere, so forgive me if it does end up being unfinished at first.

 

Aside from that, this week, I finished polishing up the scripts for both of the new CGs being added this update, and sent them off to our actors for voiceover work. Kuso is just about finished up with one of the CGs, so that'll be implemented fully soon, and he'll get to work on the next one.

 

Orexius has been hard at work finishing up the Lurker's H-scene, specifically the climax animation, and once that's done he'll be working on a new "death" animation for Alicia that has her transition into her masturbation state, rather than just laying down, which will allow for some H-scene action if you do lose to enemies and choose to stick around. I'm not sure if I've talked about it in detail before here on Patreon, but essentially it's part of my plans to make health in Crisis Point not represent Alicia's "health", but rather her willpower to keep fighting, if that makes sense. So when she runs out of HP, it's not that she's being killed or knocked unconscious, but rather she's run out of willpower to resist her lewd urges, and fully gives in to them instead, resulting in H-scenes. This does not mean we will be adding unique game over content - the H-scenes that play will be the exact same ones you can get by masturbating near an enemy when Alicia still has health, but hopefully the different context of the scenes will add something enjoyable for those who want it!

 

This coming week will probably continue to be a lot of writing for me, as well as touching up all of the Caves areas with the new tileset, and I want to see if I can't get some new rooms designed for the Catacombs too. In terms of game content, this update has turned out to be a bit more rework-y than I had hoped at first, but there's quite a bit of new H-content at least! All of this needs to be done at some point anyway, so there's nothin' to do but march ever onward. I'm not 100% confident v0.34 will be done in time for the original schedule, but I'll do my best to make it happen as close to mid-April as I can, and it's still possible I could get it finished in time if depression stops being a lil bitch about it.

 

Alright, that's all for me this week. As always, thank you all so much for the support - we wouldn't be here without all of you. I'll see you all in the next update!

Hey everybody! Time for another CP:E weekly dev update. Sorry this one is later in the day than usual, my schedule is all sorts of screwy lately and I've been waking up really late because of it.

 

 

To get the update started, we have the image up above, showcasing a mockup for the data disc menu. If you remember, data discs are a new feature we're adding in this update that'll be used for a number of things - rewatching one-time-only story CGs, reading lore/bestiary entries on enemies and plantlife, and more. I plan on having it be accessible from the pause menu rather than needing to go back to the camp to use it, though I'm not entirely sure yet where it should go in the menu. I'm thinking of having it be a button in the Status menu, but if you have any better ideas, feel free to let me know!

 

That's all the direct visual stuff I have to show off this update - like I mentioned recently, there's not a whole lot of visuals I can show off for the rest of this update cycle, as a lot of it is just retiling old rooms, making new ones, and adding in new features, like the data discs. Aside from that, though, this week I spent my time writing more stuff related to the mystery NPC I showed off a bit ago - I realized one of the things related to their story didn't really make sense in the grand scheme of things, so I had to take a step back and rewrite parts of it, but I think I'm happier with the direction it's going now. I also implemented the function of having Alicia auto-masturbate on "death" rather than just getting knocked out - I think I've mentioned it before here, but this change, along with others I have planned, will reinforce the idea that Alicia's "health" is more of a representation of her willpower to resist her desires, rather than her physical wellbeing, so when it runs out, she gives in to that lust. In addition to those things, I also started getting the new CGs implemented - one of them is nearly complete now, and the other still has a bit to go, but should be done in time for the release of this update.
 

I will say though that I'm growing increasingly uncertain if we'll make it in time for a mid-April release date; this update might end up getting delayed a bit, but I'll do my best to make sure it still gets released in April if we do have to delay it. I'm still in a bit of a funk to be honest, having a lot of trouble getting through it this time, BUT things have definitely been improving and I've been getting a lot more done over the past week or two. The rest of the team is working hard too, with Orexius still working on Lurker animations, Kuso and our actors plugging away at CGs, and Puffernutter working with me to finish up the Caves tileset rework. Speaking of the caves, thanks to the more dramatic changes we're making to that tileset, it's going to end up taking more of my time to rework the caves tiles than I had initially hoped - it'll result in the place looking MUCH nicer than before, but I'll probably have to hold off on really working on the Deep Soil and Catacombs areas much because of it. Right now the place looks like a mismatched mess and I really don't want to be releasing the update in that shape. Puffernutter has offered to try helping out with tiling rooms in-engine though, so we should be able to get it done quicker in the future if that works out.
 

Alrighty, that's enough outta me for this update. I still want to try and start streaming again soon, though at the moment the big thing stopping me there is my schedule being messed up, like I mentioned above. Once I get that fixed up I should hopefully be able to start regularly streaming development again, so I'll keep you updated on that. Thank you all so much for your support, and I'll see you in the next update!

[DeadSomething]

the version before this had wonky input problems, it didn't accept keypresses upward/w in the menues and absolutely misinterpreted my controller keys, while disallowing the same key having more than one function, thus effectively making it impossible to map my own keysettings.

i hope this is fixed. will try today.

Sorry to hear you ran into that, this is the first I've heard of any control issues, especially to that intensity. When you say "the version before this", do you mean v0.32? Or do you mean the really old v0.13 public demo? I know that old version had loads of control issues, but because of that I went through a lot of effort to try and make the game's controls as remappable as possible in more recent versions. If there are still issues with that remapping, then fixing them is definitely high priority for me, so please let me know!

[DeadSomething]

i meant the public demo. if you already solved that in later versions, that's great.

Hey everybody, time for another CP:E weekly development update! Things are starting to look up this week. I'm feeling pretty stressed out right now due to taxes and being a bit behind on development of the game, but I'm succeeding in using that stress to fuel better habits this time around, so no need to worry about me. The best thing for me in these situations is to get productive.

 

 

First off this week is the gif up above. I MIGHT have talked about this before, so forgive me if I have, the gif up above is actually somewhat old. The Warped Soldier is one of the first enemies introduced in the game; as such, his damage numbers are extremely low. Once Alicia has an HP upgrade or two, he's incapable of dealing enough damage to be relevant at all. I could have enemy damage scale based on how much HP you have, but that's the lamest possible way to do it. One of the funnest parts of a Metroidvania, imo, is to be able to go back to earlier areas in the lategame and absolutely dominate them with your new upgrades, so in order to keep that spirit alive, I've decided to introduce enemy recolors into Crisis Point - in later/deeper areas of the game, you'll run into recolored versions of enemies that will have bolstered stats (mostly damage, not so much health). I'm still undecided on if I want to give them entirely new moves in addition to higher stats, it'll depend on if I feel like they need 'em. But this will allow me a relatively low-effort way to continue using early-game enemies in my encounter design, without those enemies being trivial to deal with. The colors will be reflected in H-scene animations, naturally (though the poses and animations will NOT be different for recolors, just the colors), but the CGs will always be based on their first color variation.

Anyway, aside from that, this week I focused on bug testing and retiling the Caves areas, as I mentioned I'd be doing last week. The good news is that retiling the Caves is nearly done! While it was more effort than initially expected, UNLIKE the Summit retiling, I was still able to leave a lot of the old tiles I already placed unchanged, which sped up the process immensely. Right now, I'm just waiting on the finished Caves tileset before I can finish polishing up every room, but the majority of rooms are good to go. As for bugtesting, it's always a joy. Somehow, this week, my audio seems to have started bugging out, and the music files are now looping after ~30 seconds or so despite me not having touched any of the code related to audio in months. It's always something :' )

Alright, that's enough outta me for this week. I'm still going to try my best to have this update done by mid-April, though it's likely it'll get pushed to late-April, and some things won't make it in, like the Deep Soil rework and the NPC I teased recently. I'm going to go ahead and stop focusing on a few things like those, and instead focus on finishing everything else we had planned for this update and bringing them all up to snuff. Lots of writing in my future, that's for sure. I'll see you all in the next update!

Hey everybody, time for another CP:E weekly development update! This week is pretty light on the visual department, much like other recent updates - there's just not much more to show off visually for this update.

 

 
First off, here's a little teaser of that secret 2nd CG I mentioned a few updates ago! Some of you might recognize the second girl, in which case it won't be hard to put two and two together. And no, Alicia won't have a demon/succubus transformation, no matter what this image teaser might make you think. I also want to mention that this CG will be added to the public demo as well, alongside a bugfix update, sometime in early May, but $10 Patrons will get access to it first in the upcoming v0.34. A lot of my work this week has actually been related to this and the Lurker CG, too - picking out takes from our actors, editing the audio, and getting it all put together ingame. On the subject of audio, I also went back and had Rodriguez' actor record a slightly altered line in one of the early cutscenes - there was a line that stood out a bit and seemed untrue, and it was bugging me for a while, so I finally altered it this week. Not a particularly big development, but hey, trivia is fun.

 

Aside from that, this week I spent time taking the Database mockup from last week and turning it into an actual in-game menu. I think for now I'm just going to put it in the Options menu, to keep things simple, but I really want to figure out a good place to put it, I'm just not sure where it'd fit best yet. In any case, I'm not sure if I've detailed the Database menu yet, so let's get into that a bit shall we? The Database menu will be used for all sorts of things - as I've detailed before, you'll find Data Discs while exploring the game, and each one will open up new entries in the Database, from things like enemy lore entries, re-viewing cutscenes (that feature won't be implemented for a while), re-viewing one-time-only CGs, etc. I'm not sure if I want to make enemy lore entries unlocked via Data Discs, by defeating them, by watching their CGs, or even some other way I haven't come up with yet - maybe I'll hold a poll on that one?

 

Aside from that, right now, we're mostly focused on trying to finish up all of the things that have been mostly implemented but not quite finished in this update, to bring everything to a publicly playable state. To get this update out in April, I'll definitely end up needing to scrap some of the things I wanted to do, and I'm sorry for that, but luckily it'll mostly be smaller things like recolored enemies or new rooms in the Catacombs. There will still be a new H-scene and 2 new CGs with this update, so hopefully it won't be too disappointing that there won't be more to explore yet! Next update I'll make sure to focus more on content creation.

 

Anyway, that's enough outta me for this update. Thanks so much for reading everybody, and for supporting us as we make this game a reality - it means the world to us. I'll see you all in the next update!

Hey! Before I begin with the copy/pasted update post, apologies for missing a few updates here - the reason I didn't post any is because there wasn't all that much to say, my last two weeks of update posts were basically "don't have much to show, we're working on finishing up v0.34". Finishing it up took a bit longer than expected, and I posted pretty much all of our visuals earlier in the update cycle. That being said, v0.34 is complete now, so on with the post!

 

(Oh right, and here's a little preview of one of the new CGs Patrons get access to~ I wasn't able to post it on Patreon because of lewdness)

 

(The following is a copy-paste from our major update release post on Patreon! If you like what you see, consider supporting us!)

Hey everyone! v0.34 is officially complete and out in the wild. There are things that I wasn't able to get to that were originally planned, like making new levels in the Catacombs and implementing the new NPCs I teased recently, but this update still came out nicely, and I managed to get the majority of what I wanted done. (Plus, even though there's no new Catacombs rooms, there IS the new Lurker enemy down there who's sure to show you a great time!)

As always, the download link will be sent via Patreon PMs for those who are no longer pledged, and also linked in the post just after this one for $10 patrons for anyone who is. Without any further ado, let's get into the changelog!

 

    v0.34 UPDATE MAJOR CHANGES

-Implement new Lurker enemy in the Catacombs (BE H-scene not complete currently)
-Implement new Data Disc feature
-Implemented Bestiary feature, with descriptions for 3 enemies (Bestiary entries are currently available immediately rather than being unlocked; this will be changed later)
-Implement new movement upgrade, the Omnidash
-Add new short cutscene at the beginning of the game
-Two new CGs (Lurker CG and Spooky Starlets collaboration CG)
-Completely reworked the Caves tileset
-Change Alicia's behavior on death to allow for H-scenes playing naturally

 

Alright, that's the major list of changes. Most of it is self explanatory, and I've already gone over the things that need more description in the past, so allow me to take a moment to talk about one thing in particular - the Spooky Starlets collaboration!

 

Crisis Point: Extinction is honored to collaborate with TinyHat Studios, developers of Spooky Starlets (and also a company lead by our very own FlynnFlann, the UI artist for Crisis Point), to add some extra content to both of our games! In Crisis Point, this takes the form of a Data Disc you can find that allows you to view a CG H-scene starring both Alicia herself and Susie Stitches, the "mascot" of Spooky Starlets. We've decided Spooky Starlets will be a game within CP:E's universe (that Rodriguez happens to be a big fan of), with Alicia being hired in the past to star in a rather lewd promo shoot for it. This keeps the logic consistent with our universe, despite Spooky Starlets being full of all kinds of monstergirls, like slime girls, goat girls, wolf girls, and more, that wouldn't necessarily fit within our lore.

In Spooky Starlets, the collaboration will have Alicia as a "playable character" of sorts! In their game, you direct your own pornographic movies starring a variety of lovely ladies in all sorts of positions - and now, Alicia will be one of those ladies you can pick from! Their page does a much better job at describing it than I ever could, so if the idea of making your own pornos interests you at all, please check out their page below and give their work a look!

Now then, on to the goals for Crisis Point: Extinction v0.35!

 

     CRISIS POINT: EXTINCTION v0.35 GOALS
-Begin (and hopefully complete) the Deep Soil rework, including a complete overhaul of level design
-Add more areas to explore in the Catacombs (if Deep Soil rework goes well)
-Add the BE H-scene for Lurkers
-Start rework of BE mechanics to remove the movement debuffs
-Implement recolored enemies in later areas of the game
-Finish writing Bestiary entries for enemies, and add in proper unlocks for bestiary entries
-Continue reworking older CGs in Kuso's style
-Implement new NPC and cutscenes in the Summit area

 

This next update will be focused especially on the Deep Soil. It's become a lot of people's least favorite area, due in large part to the level design, so in the interest of fixing it, I'm most likely going to be razing the Deep Soil to the ground, figuratively. What I mean by that is just removing a lot of the current level design completely and reworking it from the ground up, this time with a better plan in mind - much like the other early areas in Crisis Point, a lot of the level design mostly boiled down to enemy hallways, and that's something I want to change and fix up. Unfortunately, such a big overhaul requires a lot of time and effort, and while I've already spent time laying the groundwork for a level design overhaul, it's definitely going to take a majority of my time for this update cycle. That being said, it's not like that's the only thing I have planned for this update, and Puffernutter is going to be helping with tilesetting the new level designs, so I'm very confident I can pull it off within one update cycle!

In addition to the new level design, I also plan on finally starting the BE rework I've talked about for ages (BE will still be in the game and there will still be unique BE H-scenes, it's just gameplay changes), implementing the recolored enemies I talked about recently, and a bunch more things I already listed up above, so the update should be a good one either way.

 

Alright, that's about enough from me for this update! Sorry we just barely missed the April release window, I was waiting on some last-minute assets, but now that the update is out I hope you guys enjoy it! As always, thank you all so much for your support. I'm really proud of how Crisis Point is shaping up, and it's entirely because of all of you. I'll see you in the next update!

-Changed an instance of repetitive writing in the Summit Entry dialogue
-Fixed issue where environmental dialogue of Alicia finding the first security door was bugged, and would play an unintended line from Birch after Alicia finished talking
-Fixed bug where some interactables were still interactive during first Warped Soldier fight, which led to various other bugs and crashes

Hey everyone! Today I've got some exciting news to share - first off, the Crisis Point: Extinction public demo has been updated! In addition to a host of bugfixes and some small additions, like a new cutscene at the start of the game, there's a whole new CG added to the game that you can find on a Data Disc in the Summit. Which leads me into..

 

 

As patrons will already know, Crisis Point: Extinction has teamed up with Spooky Starlets - a game made by our very own FlynnFlann, designer of Crisis Point's UI - to add a little collaboration between our games! In Crisis Point, the collab takes the form of a brand new CG starring Alicia and Susie (pictured above), the lead characters of each game, in an in-universe promo video showing Spooky Starlets as a real game within the Crisis Point universe. Here's a preview of the CG, which is now available for viewing in the public demo:



Much like every other CG in Crisis Point, it features multiple images and full voice acting, and can be viewed as many times as you like once unlocked. If you have any interest in seeing more of Susie Stitches, along with a bunch more sexy monster girls, you can check out Spooky Starlets - a game in which you pick from a variety of poses to create your own pornographic movies starring the aforementioned ladies!



As part of the promotion, Alicia has been added as a selectable Starlet within Spooky Starlets, so you can make videos starring her as well! If you want to learn more about the game, you can view this infographic here showcasing just how the game works, or check out their Patreon page! Throw 'em some support if you like what you see, they're doing great work!

Aside from the Spooky Starlets content, here's a list of what else has been added/changed in the public demo today:

-Added confirmation prompt when opening links at the end of the demo, and fixed issue where gamepads would always double-click on links, opening the link twice
-Raised volume of Skill Unlock sound effect, as it was far quieter than the rest of the UI
-Fixed issue where the player could accidentally skip the Wire Shot by jumping over the pit you fall into to get it, which could result in being softlocked
-Fixed bug where the player could push the first Warped Soldier enemy encountered in the camp by using the Melee attack, which could cause the following cutscene to act strangely
-Fixed bug where gamepad couldn't skip the disclaimer and gamepad text when the game is started
-Updated keyboard UI prompts with better art
-Added a short cutscene at the start of the game
-Changed an instance of repetitive writing in the Summit Entry dialogue, and an instance of incorrect writing in Rodriguez's intro cutscene
-Fixed issue where environmental dialogue of Alicia finding the first security door was bugged, and would play an unintended line from Birch after Alicia finished talking
-Fixed a bug where some interactables were still interactive during the Warped Soldier fight at camp, which lead to many other bugs and crashes
-Nerfed damage of Split Shot slightly (main bullet down from 2.0 to 1.8, sub-bullets down from 0.4 to 0.25)
-Nerfed Rapid Trigger damage slightly (was 75% of normal damage before, now 66%)
-Nerfed damage of Auto Shot weapon to 0.75 (down from 1.25; default bullets do 2.0)
-First boss fight no longer bugs out and continues screen shake if you die and respawn

If you haven't played the public demo yet, or if any of the changes sound like something you want to see, please check out the newly updated demo on itch.io, and throw us a rating while you're there! Every rating helps us get more traffic, so I would really appreciate it!

(The following is (mostly) a copy-paste from our weekly public update post on Patreon! If you like what you see, consider supporting us!)

 

Hey everybody! Before I get into it, I want to apologize for skipping so many weekly updates - I passed a few up because we were working on the public demo update along with a marketing push, so I was focused on that, and to be honest marketing really drains me, so I ended up taking a vacation from work after that. That being said, I should've at least posted last weekend to let you all know what was up - in the future, even if I don't have any progress to report, I'll make sure to always release an update every week, as long as I am able to, even if it's just to let you know that nothing has been done and to explain why.

With that out of the way though, it's time for this week's Crisis Point: Extinction development update!

 

First off, we have recolored enemies! We did a lot of work on implementing enemy recolors this week. The Warped Soldier enemy's recolor work is fully completed, and the Warped Sentry isn't far off - here's a shot of one of the Warped Soldier recolors in action.

For those of you who haven't seen my previous posts on the matter, recolored enemies are currently ONLY an increase in enemy damage dealt - I do want to give them unique attacks eventually, but they will NOT be getting unique H-scenes, and their HP values won't go up either so they won't be any more difficult to take down. At the moment it's purely their damage values, so that those enemies can remain a relevant threat as Alicia gains more maximum health.

 

Next up is the Warped Sentry, who has received an overhaul in her riot shield's design to make it a bit more interesting (don't worry, this is just a censored version of her design, she still has her torn clothing ingame)

And here's the old design for comparison.

The shield redesign was done not only to make it look sleeker, but also to allow us to recolor it more easily - the highlight gives it a much more metallic look, which allows us to convey what it is more easily no matter what we recolor it to - and since the Sentry's most prominent design feature is her shield, I wanted to be able to recolor it so the player can easily tell what "level" of Sentry they're going up against.

 

Next, we have a "new" enemy! To get the bad news out of the way first, this is an idea I kinda came up with last minute - and because of the design implications it has for the Deep Soil, I'm thinking it's very likely that I'll either have to delay v0.35 a bit, or the Deep Soil rework won't be completely done in this one update like I was aiming for. I'll have further updates for you on that as development of v0.35 progresses, but for now, the good news! This is one I think a lot of fans will be happy to see, and unlike most "recolors", this enemy will essentially function as a miniboss version of the enemy it's based on - and because of that special status, it will receive new H-scenes as well.

 

 

Don't worry, she'll still have her.. signature assets.. in the actual game. It's just censored for the purpose of making a public post on Patreon ; )

Now, for why there are 4 different color schemes here, I haven't been able to decide between themto save my life. If you have a favorite, hop on by our Patreon page and leave your input in the public poll at the bottom of this page!

 

This next bit isn't on the public Patreon post, since there's no getting around how NSFW it is, but I would've made it public there if I could. In addition to everything up above, I also went and updated the Warped Soldier's H-scenes a bit to give him and Alicia better facial animation, along with some other small touchups! Here's the new animations:

And here's the old loop for comparison:

 

Alright, that's about it for this week! Orexius got some time off work and he'll be coming over to my place for a while, so expect some dev streams to happen over the next two weeks! Thanks to all of you for your patience, love, and support! I'll see you all in the next weekly update!

Hey everybody, time for another weekly update! Not a lot of visual stuff happened this week, so this update will be a bit lighter than last week's, but we still got a lot done. Without further ado, let's get into it!

 

Old

 

New

 

First off, we have the Deep Soil layout rework. As you can see from the comparison, only a handful of rooms are being left alone - the vast majority of the Deep Soil (including the dreaded tall room with the scientists) has been completely removed, in favor of a new, less compact layout focused around 2 tall rooms. Keep in mind this is only draft 1 of the Deep Soil rework - I don't expect to change the new room layouts too much, as I have a nice plan for the way the player will go through these rooms, but there will likely be more rooms added to fill in gaps, or slight changes in room sizes/connection points and such. I tried to design the new layout in such a way that it won't be as easy to "miss the objective", as it were - in the old Deep Soil, there was one point in particular where you had to pull down 3 totems in a room to allow progression in another room, but if you didn't realize you had to pull them down and went past them, you would be unable to go back to them unless you went all the way back around again. In the new layout, the totems have been removed from our plans completely, as they didn't really fit thematically, and the puzzles weren't particularly interesting - instead, we have some new mechanics, one of which involves the Poison Alraune from last post. Speaking of her..

 

 

We're holding a second poll for her color scheme on Patreon! If you have an account, you should be able to vote on it here, even if you aren't pledged to us: https://www.patreon.com/posts/27506842
 

Sorry to hold ANOTHER poll about her color scheme, but after realizing we didn't have a teal hair/pink leggings option, we decided to make some alterations to the colors AND her design (in the form of kinkier lingerie), and hold a second poll! Last time, we narrowed down that most people weren't really into the green leggings, so I decided to scrap those this time around and focus on the pink and teal lingerie. In addition, we've recolored the "teal" hair a bit to be more of a white/very light blue, which I think plays nicer with the rest of the colors. Orexius also whipped up a new idle pose for her, which will be her final pose ingame. Sorry again to hold another poll about the same thing, but if you wouldn't mind leaving your vote (and maybe a comment about it if you feel like it), I'd really appreciate it!

 

Alright, that's all I've got for you guys this week. My personal focus is 100% on the Deep Soil rework right now - since the layout has changed completely, I'll need to finish all of it before this update can come out, so I want to make sure that happens as soon as possible. I'll be honest with you guys, I don't think the update will come out this month - the rework is a bit more ambitious than I originally thought it would be, since there's some new mechanics and ideas that need to be developed for it. I'll keep you all updated on how it's coming though, and I fully expect to be able to release it in July at the latest. I'll still be aiming for a June release if possible, of course.

 

As always, thank you all so much for your support, and for continuing to follow Crisis Point: Extinction's development! I'll see all you beautiful people in the next update ❤️

Hey everybody, time for another Crisis Point: Extinction development update! This was a bit of a slow week, as far as things to show off goes - most of my effort this week was spent implementing new mechanics for the Deep Soil and working on the level redesign, so there's not too much to see. I would like to go over a few things, though, so let's get started!

 

 

First off, one of the new mechanics I'm implementing - Coiled Vines. As you can see they're still using temporary art right now, but the function is very much there! By shooting a Coiled Vine in the environment, the vine will uncurl and create a sloped ramp for Alicia to run up. This required a small update to our collision engine, to make sloped "ghost platforms" (platforms you can jump up through) work properly, but overall I'm very happy with the outcome! Because of the collision updates, I should also be able to use ghost ramps in other areas of the game now too, which will allow me even more freedom when designing levels.

 

Anyway, the other thing to note with these Coiled Vines is that they won't be usable when you first enter the Deep Soil. The presence of Poison Alraunes will have caused certain plants to wilt, including these vines, and so Alicia will have to hunt down the Poison Alraunes infecting an area before she'll be able to use those platforms. While we're on the subject of Poison Alraunes, I want to mention that we won't have enough time this update cycle to implement new animations/attacks for them, so they'll function identically to regular Alraunes for now, just with some beefed up stats. In the future, I plan on giving them more attacks, unique H-scenes and a unique CG, as well as altered combat animations to help differentiate them further from regular Alraunes.

 

 

Next thing I wanted to show today was our progress on the Deep Soil rework. The chart above shows our progress on each room - the bright green rooms are completed (though some of them are missing tiles, which Puffernutter has been helping me with, so I expect them all to be fully retiled by the time the update comes out), while the dark green rooms haven't been designed yet. The grey areas are ones that Alicia won't even be able to access yet, so while I do have plans for them, they haven't been implemented yet and won't be for a while.

 

As you can see we've made some excellent progress, and I expect to be done with the Deep Soil rework by next weekend! Once that's done I can move on to our next large project, which is implementing more NPCs and cutscenes. I wouldn't be surprised if that gets pushed back to a later update yet again - finishing the whole thing I have in mind will be a biiiig undertaking, so if it does make it into this update, there will definitely be cut corners, and it'll likely end up being similar to the human encampment where I gradually add to it and flesh it out throughout development, rather than all at once.

 

 

Last quick thing I wanted to mention in this update is that I plan on adding some more features to the $30 tier, in the form of a downloadable lossless .FLAC version of Crisis Point's OST! This'll be the only place the soundtrack is available in lossless format, so if you're a fan of the soundtrack and you like your audio high-quality, you won't want to miss it. I plan on implementing that part of the tier as soon as it's ready, so keep an eye out.

 

 

Anyway, that's about all I have for ya this week! I'm sorry I didn't actually get around to doing any streams like I wanted to - anxiety got the better of me I'm afraid - but I still fully intend to start streaming again! Now that things have settled back to normal around my place, I want to get back into a regular streaming schedule sooner rather than later. Streams will likely start at around 1 pm EST, though I don't have dates planned yet - I'll get back to you guys on that as soon as I have 'em, but for now if you're interested in viewing them, you can follow me at https://picarto.tv/Anon42 to get notifications when I stream. Thank you all for reading, and for continuing to support the development of Crisis Point: Extinction!

Hey everybody! This is a pretty light update post (again, sorry), we'll mostly be going over the state of the Deep Soil rework and my plans for finishing up v0.35. I'll also be posting a teaser of the Warped Scientist CG rework, which Kuso just recently finished, so you'll have an idea of what to look forward to when the update rolls around!

 

 

In last week's post, which I didn't post anywhere but Patreon (sorry, but it was a very small update just talking about the sudden sickness I got and explaining that not a lot was done because of it), I mentioned we weren't quite done with the Deep Soil rework yet, as my sudden sickness had prevented me from finishing it up. Well, I'm feeling much better now, so this week (while resting to make sure I was well and truly better), I focused entirely on finishing up the level design for the Deep Soil rework, which is now complete! The area is fully navigable now, though there are a lot of polish additions I want to do, like adding effects to show you're in a Poison Alraune-affected area, creating proper animation and art for the coiled vines, writing and recording some dialogue for the area, and more. In light of that, if it's alright with everyone, I'm going to aim for a release date around mid-July and focus mostly on polishing up the Deep Soil so it's in a more complete state! There are still some Deep Soil things I won't be able to do for this update, since they'll require more work than we have time for, but I want to improve it as much as I can for the time being. I know this means the update will be late by about two weeks, and I apologize for that, but I'd rather delay it and improve the update as much as possible rather than leaving it in a state of half completion.

 

 

Anyway, I don't have much else to share at the moment. The overall layout didn't really change from the last time I posted an image of it, so you can refer to that for an overview of how navigating the Deep Soil might look - and just to confirm for anyone who was wondering, yes, the tall room with the Scientists and the Cumshooters is officially gone ; ) For now though, I'll leave you with this teaser of Kuso's new Scientist CG. See you guys in next week's update!

Hey everybody, time for another weekly update! I'm a lil tired today so I'm gonna keep this short and sweet - v0.35 is trucking along nicely, and I think we should be able to release mid-July as mentioned before.

 

I don't think I've outright stated this, so just fyi, I decided to shelve adding more rooms to the Catacombs for one more update, because of the sheer amount of work we had to put into the Deep Soil rework - we also didn't get around to working on the new cutscenes/NPCs in the Summit yet for the same reason. My apologies to anyone who was looking forward to those things, but the Deep Soil rework has taken up pretty much all of my attention. The good news is that it'll be basically fully finished after this update, aside from a few things we'll be adding in the future, so we won't be stretching it out into multiple updates for once!

 

I do want to mention one specific thing, the Deep Soil boss fight - I plan on moving her fight further into the game, so you won't actually fight her the first time you go to the Deep Soil. For now, I plan on putting her in a TEMPORARY room within the Deep Soil, so you can still access the fight, but there won't be any rewards for it aside from getting her H-scene, since it's going to be a very temporary setup, I just don't want to remove her from the game completely until it's time to put her in for real.

 

Anyway, on to the actual update!

 

 

First off, here's a shot of the special effect that covers the screen when you enter a Poison Alraune affected area. It's very simple, but I'm really happy with how this effect came out, although I can't help but feel like it makes the regular Deep Soil look a bit plain now! Might have to see about sprucing up the backgrounds with some light animated layers in the future..

 

 

And here's the loop for the Lurker enemy's Breast Expansion H-scene, which will be in this update as well. I know some of you have been asking for some ATWT action, so hopefully this will satisfy ya!

 

Aside from working on those effects, I also spent time this week getting over some writers block so I could write new dialogue for the Deep Soil, which is currently being recorded by our lovely VAs - there's a total of 4 new conversations in the Deep Soil right now, and I plan on finishing up the current Bestiary entries too, so there will hopefully be some fun stuff to read there if that's what you're into. I also finished up implementing some of the technical stuff for the Deep Soil to work properly, like allowing the Poison Alraune's presence to stop Coiled Vines from working, saving/loading new world state variables, etc. All the behind the scenes stuff that's not too interesting but keeps the game going as intended. I've also been working with our musician to get those .FLAC files ready for the $30 tier (sorry it's taking a while), and Kuso is still working hard at replacing more CGs. The next one he's working on is a fan favorite, so I hope you're looking forward to it!

 

Anyway, that's about all I have for this week. It's mostly small and uninteresting things from now until completion, so I miiiight skip next week's weekly update if the update is almost complete by that point, in favor of just continuing to push for release - we'll see what happens though. Thanks for reading everybody, and for your continued support! Crisis Point wouldn't be what it is today without all of you. See you next week, hopefully with the v0.35 release in hand!

(The following is a copy-paste from our major update release post on Patreon! If you like what you see, consider supporting us!)

Hey everybody! v0.35 is now available for $10+ patrons!

Before we get into the meat of the post, I want to apologize for one thing - the Lurker BE H-scene climax animation isn't finished. It was the only thing holding me back from releasing the update today, and I honestly just don't have it in me to spend 12+ hours trying to finish up the scene right now. I've mentioned it before, but animation is something I really do not enjoy doing, which is why I hired Orex to do it, and with his dayjob he was unfortunately not able to finish it in time.

With all that being said, we DO have a surprise added to this update last minute to make up for it - Kuso managed to finish his rework of the Alraune CG! I won't post anything about it here, but you can find it and enjoy it ingame at your leisure ; ) Without further ado, here's what v0.35 includes:

v0.35 MAJOR UPDATES AND CHANGES
-Completely reworked the ENTIRE Deep Soil from the ground up, with new puzzles, less annoying level design, and new tileset artwork
-Added 4 new conversations into the Deep Soil
-Finished the Bestiary section of the menus, with descriptions for every enemy that unlock when you capture them (note: doesn't include Poison Alraune or the bosses yet)
-Implemented Warped Soldier enemy recolors (other recolored enemies coming in the future)
-Added Poison Alraune enemy into the Deep Soil (note: currently has no H-scenes or CG, will get unique scenes added in the future)
-Implemented Warped Scientist and Alraune CG reworks by Kuso
-Added Lurker BE H-scene (climax animation not complete, but loop is)
-Fixed numerous bugs and issues (will be listed at the bottom of the post)

So that's the list of the major things we got done this update. The vast majority of my time was taken up by the first one, completely reworking the Deep Soil - I've gone over it plenty in updates before, so I won't waste your time explaining it all again, but it was a complete redesign from the ground up, with about 80% of the previous rooms scrapped entirely. I'm significantly happier with it now, and I hope you will be too! Unfortunately, the sheer scope of the rework meant that there were some other plans I had that had to be pushed back into the next update. I was a little too ambitious and didn't end up making it all happen, my sincerest apologies for that.

v0.36 UPDATE GOALS
-Design and implement NPCs in the Summit area, which will include at least one cutscene
-Add more to explore in the Catacombs
-Finish animating the Lurker BE H-scene, and start reworking Alicia's BE status effect
-Implement more enemy recolors (at least tentacles and warped sentries)
-Continue reworking CGs, possibly add Poison Alraune CG
-Add more environmental dialogue throughout the game
-Rework the Flare Shot's first upgrade to be less intrusive to H-scenes and general gameplay
-Continue fixing bugs and issues

 

I'm keeping our goals a little smaller in this next update, to try and hopefully make sure nothing has to be scrapped this time. The major thing in this next update will be the NPCs and cutscene in the Summit - this will be a brand new NPC that I've teased before, and will be fairly significant to the game. It might also require me to slightly rework some things too, so between that and needing animation, voice acting, writing, etc, I'm just going to work under the assumption it'll take up a decent chunk of my time. Aside from that, we'll finally be ACTUALLY adding new areas to the Catacombs (probably not a ton, but there will be more this time I swear), and the usual reworked stuff like new conversations and Kuso's reworked CGs. I'll also be touching up the Flare Shot's first upgrade and completely changing the way it functions, so it no longer causes issues with getting into H-scenes.

 

Anyway, that's about enough outta me for this update. Before I go, HUGE shoutouts to our $30 patrons this update cycle! Thank you so much to ALL of our amazing patrons, but especially Keeg, SpeedyShamrock, HOELS, and Wangarang for your incredible generosity. Crisis Point wouldn't be the game it is today without all of you!

Hey everybody! Gonna be a lightweight update this week, since v0.36 development only just started, and I've gone straight into the biggest part of the update, which is the new NPC and cutscenes in the Summit.

I probably won't be talking too much about my work regarding those cutscenes, I'd rather keep it a secret for once you have v0.36 in your hands in about two months. I'm feeling very confident we can pull it all off this update, though - it's likely going to end up similar to the human camp, where I gradually add more detail to it throughout the next several updates, but I'm certain the most important parts of it will be finished in time for this update! I've got the outline of how everything should work, and I've started writing dialogue too, so it's coming along very well.

 

Aside from what I've been working on though, Orexius has redoubled his efforts and has been pushing out a lot of animations lately, specifically for the BE rework. The BE rework itself is actually functionally complete already, which is another thing I worked on this week - the movement debuff and time limit have been removed, and instead, Alicia's libido gradually fills while in BE, and touching enemies will instantly initiate an un-cancelable H-scene with them, while finishing an H-scene or masturbation will end BE - but a lot of the animations are missing the larger breasts, and are currently just using the regular non-BE animations, which is what Orexius has been working on. So far, he's already finished the idle animation, running animation (including stand-to-run and run-to-stand transitions), and stationary jumping animations - and he's been doing it all on stream, too!

If you want to watch him work his magic, or you just want to see some real big pixel titties, he's been streaming for a few hours almost daily on his picarto - https://picarto.tv/TheOrexius - I'd recommend giving him a follow so you can see whenever he goes live, though it's usually around 5pm EST. Alternatively, you can also join our public Discord server, and we send out notifications whenever he goes live! https://discordapp.com/invite/MveBYb2

For my part, I plan to get back into streaming too, as soon as I'm working on things that aren't writing. I'll keep you guys updated on that front - I've really been wanting to stream again lately, and I feel terrible about how many times I've said I was going to start streaming again but didn't follow through, so I want to make sure it actually happens this time, anxiety be damned.

 

Anyway, that's it for me this week! Sorry for the lack of anything visually exciting to show off. Maybe I'll do a post once we get a few more animations done, showing off a collection of 'em. Until then, feel free to take a look at the stream VODs if you want to see some of them though, or just hang around for a stream sometime! See you guys next week, hopefully with a more exciting update!

Hey everybody, time for another weekly update! Sorry for not posting an update last week - if you checked our Patreon, the update we posted last week was basically "we're still doing the same things as last week and finishing those up", so there wasn't really anything to write about. This week though, as you can see, we actually do have a bit of visual stuff to show off - primarily, the 3 new Tentacle colors, and the new Flare Shot upgrade I listed in the update plans!

 

 

The tentacle colors are pretty self-explanatory - much like the Warped Soldier recolors from last update, these recolored tentacles will show up in later areas of the game with increased damage. They won't have increased health, since they're not meant to take longer to kill, only to continue presenting a threat as Alicia's max health gets upgraded further and further. As always, these will NOT have new H-scenes associated with them; the color will be reflected in any H-scenes you get in with them, but they will be the same H-scenes as the normal purple tentacles.

 

The more exciting thing is the new Flare Shot ability, that replaces the Orbital Flares! So many people said the Orbital Flares caused issues for them, especially with entering H-scenes and having the flares kill enemies, so I decided to make it a more directly offensive ability fully in control of the player. After acquiring the first upgrade, tapping the Flare Shot button quickly will spawn a flare orb that rotates, shooting out two jets of flame automatically. It takes a chunk of your Flare Shot ammo to spawn one (not shown above due to debug commands being used), and only 2 can be active at any given time - but if you have a lot of dodging to do, or an enemy who's particularly stationary, they can be extremely effective at dealing some passive damage while you focus on other things. In addition to that, the first upgrade also doubles Alicia's natural light radius, so darker areas will be easier to see in.

 

 

 

Aside from those two things, we also pretty much completed the BE rework today! There's a few very small tweaks we still need to make, but honestly they're so small you might not even notice them, so at this point I can more or less just call it complete. Once more for those who may not know, the BE rework's goal was simple: remove the movement debuff from Alicia, so BE no longer prevents you from playing the game, and replace it with some other stuff. That "other stuff" is that enemies deal more damage when Alicia's in BE, touching an enemy will instantly start a BE H-scene with them, and while in BE, Alicia's libido will gradually raise over time. BE also no longer has a hard time limit - it ends after an H-scene, including Alicia masturbating, so once the libido meter fills and a forced masturbation scene plays she'll be back to normal. Aside from that though, she can move, fight, and platform around just as much as normal. Hopefully this will make BE a funner mechanic, not to mention making it easier to get your desired BE H-scene, if you're looking for a particular one!

 

 

Alrighty, that's all I have for this week - luckily a much better one than the past two, thanks again for being so patient with us during the slower parts of the update! I'm really happy with the pace of this update so far, we're getting things done a lot quicker than I expected. Anyways, thanks so much for reading and supporting, everyone! See ya in next week's update!
