This is a release candidate for tomorrow's 6.0.4 Backer Build. Assuming no glaring issues, this is what will go live tomorrow.
The Company - Backer Build 6.0.4

Greetings everyone!
I mentioned last week that the next few development blogs will be pretty bare-bones as I'm putting all my available time into getting Update 6.1 ready to release, and that's exactly what today's post will be! Here's where we're at so far...
Steady progress. The cur...

Hey everyone! Check another quick preview of Dakota! This is the hair color that we've settled on, as well as a rough look at her default outfit.
Hey everyone!
Today we have our first look at Dakota in color. The only thing left to dial in right now is her hair color, which we'll have closer match Ava's while still maintaining some of the original blonde cues from the original art and actress. In the meantime, check it out!
Greetings everyone!
Today's post is going to come off as a bit more matter-of-factly than others, as I'm currently working full speed on the new update. Let's just jump right in!
Steady progress since last week, and we're still aiming for the end of April for a proper release!
Today I...

Hello everyone!
With Ava's paper doll just two sets of ears away from completion, it's time to move on to Dakota! We're still in the very early stages of development, but this should give you an idea of what we're working towards.
We're still cleaning up some rough edges and hopefully I'll ...

Last weekend's AMA was a total blast! We ended up going for an hour and a half and the participation, questions and discussions were great. I think everyone had a lot of fun, and I'm definitely looking forward to doing this again in the future. To everyone who participated, thank you so much for making the event a success! To everyone who wasn't able to attend, here's ...

Hey everyone!
Just wanted to remind you all that tonight's the night for the first ever The Company Developer AMA! In just under 3 hours we'll be gathering in the Events lobby in the official Discord where you'll be able to ask your questions and have them answered live!
The AMA starts at 5:00pm PST and will run for one hour (at least). Ask your questions in the #ama-questions chann...
2019-03-16 21:20:59 +0000 UTC View PostNothing to say really, just a greyscale preview of the remaining character expressions for Ava.
For reference that's Default > Happy > Lusty > Dosed/Dazed

I'm happy to report that I've finally finished putting together the general feedback survey for The Company. This survey is to help us gather general metrics in terms of how people are playing the game, what people like about The Company, and where we can improve.
There are no text-submission questions in this survey, as what we're really trying to gather with th...

2019 is truly a year of change for The Company. We've moved to a proper project management system, upped our documentation game, embraced some pretty major design changes, and, most importantly, started numbering development blogs! But seriously, today's going to be a nice, meaty update that should particularly appeal to those visually minded individuals. Read, "Most P...

Greetings everyone, let's talk about some changes and updates!
Semi-Regular Community Posts
What better use of the first "official" community post than to talk about community posts! What tends to happen is that I'll end up wrapping community related news and announcements into development updates, and end up with either bloated posts or multiple posts in a day. Ins...
2019-03-12 19:04:57 +0000 UTC View PostNot much to say about this, just a preview of Ava's incomplete expression set. This time around we're playing with the system a little bit, adding additional head positions to help add some extra character.
Check it out!

Last week I was able to show you Ava's casual outfit, and this week I have a couple more to show off!
First is a near-finished version of her office outfit.
For those unaware, this outfit unlocks once you complete Ava's MCS-X route, resulting in her employment with The Company.
Next u...

Just a little incentive to check out the new Twitter account while also whetting your appetite for next week's preview. Check out a late draft of Ava's new artwork design...

Greeting everyone!
Do you guys like hearing about the behind the scenes stuff that I enjoy sharing? I realize the boring side of development is, well, boring, but personally I always enjoyed getting some insight into what's going on behind the curtain. Let me know in the comments, but for now I'm gonna stick to oversharing!

I wanted to share some fun new things coming down the pipe over the next couple weeks, so let's get right to it!
We're On Twitter Now
It's been a long time coming, mostly due to the tight security restrictions imposed on us by The Company, but @WestaneDigital has finally entered the realm of social media! 2019-03-05 07:00:01 +0000 UTC View Post
Another preview of Ava's redesign, this time with her casual home outfit on.
We decided to stick with the tank-top since it looks much better with the more realistic proportions, but it did get a little cleaned up. I think it strikes a good balance between casual conservative and "mom sexy" that ...
2019-03-04 07:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings everyone!
Today I'm happy to finally get to show off the new design for Ava, complete and in color! My artist and I have gone back to re-evaluate the existing artwork, and come up with something we could both be happy with.
We're still hashing out the details, variances, etc., but I'm very happy with the new direction we're taking.
Have a look!
