Update time!
Short update this week as everything is currently on schedule. The writing process is continuing with the next city story being worked on. As well as some more general notes for Kat and Eves dates. My day job is threatening to become more time consuming in the near future, I’ll keep you updated if this becomes a serious issue.
On the art side I’ve gotten the backgro...

The writing process for v 0.3 has begun. The third date for Jess has started to take shape, as well as a new city traveling story. It’s still rather early in the process and changes are likely to happen, but I’m going to try to get the artists going a little earlier this time around to avoid the bottle neck they had last version. That’s always a bit of a gamble as it lo...

The v 0.2.1 release has gone relatively well. While reception is still slow (to be fair, as slow as my dev process), it’s been generally positive. You all reported a few minor typos since the release. I’m going over them right now, but I’ll generally be rolling fixing them into the next release. So let’s talk about that for a moment.
Body Language v 0.3 is curre...

I'm happy to present the public version of Body Language 0.2.1 for all platforms!
This version includes a few minor bug fixes and typo fixes over 0.2.0. If you've played that version with no issue, you can safely skip this one.
As always, please let me know if you encounter any issues, typo...
2021-03-27 12:46:41 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, so. I was a little late getting the latest version to QA, so I don’t have much in the way of bug reports yet, however, I did promise a release today, so here’s what we’re doing. Attached is the bug hunt, win64 only version of Body Language 0.2.0. I’m putting it up so those that are anxious to play can try it out. It’s been through enough testing that I’m confident in releas...

Phoenix pulled off the unexpected and managed to complete Kats date art today. I’m going to take one extra day to implement the date into the game, as well as do my own run of QA. Which means by late Monday (the 15h) I should be ready to make a limited QA release of version 0.2 to a few select individuals. I will then take i...

Let’s start by ripping off the band aid, Kat’s date art is not likely to make it in time, so her date will have to wait until the next version (0.3). I’m working together with phoenix to create a more transparent schedule (as much as is possible within the limitations of working on commission). So hopefully we won’t over extend like this again. The good news is that E...

Another one of them good news bad news weeks. On the good news side, Eve’s second date is practically done and implemented into the game. The bad news is that “practically” there means implemented with placeholder art cause the art delay is still a thing. With two weeks of dev left before this versions QA deadline, it looks like I may have to hold back one or more of th...

Short update this week as it’s another week with lots of "invisible" writing tasks. I’m a bit behind with Eve’s second date. It’s written, and it's a fun one. But It still needs some touch ups and edits and of course, implementation into the game. On the other hand, I’ve already gotten a good start writing Kat’s second date, so in terms of task completion, it all ...

A relatively easy-going week, I completed well over half the writing needed for Eves second date. And I’m expecting to finish writing and implementing that date by next weekend. I’ve also received Jess’s second date sexy reward image from Phoenix and put it into the game and reward gallery.
I’ve mentioned a delay in my last update, so let me give you a bit more ...

Another rather hectic week here in Mipsville. I got the first dose of the vaccine this week, made a joke about it on twitter, got banned for 24 hours over that, and also managed to work on Body Language a bit :P
Writing on Eve’s second date is still progressing, I have a good sense of where the scene is going, and hopefully I’ll be done with it by next weekend. I al...

A bit of a slow week as I’ve been a little under the weather. Jess’s second date is finally in the game. It’s still missing a few final art assets, which should be ready by next week. Since I don’t have much progress to report this week, here’s a sneak preview :)

It’s been a somewhat busy week for me, but progress on the game is still going strong. I’ve completed the writing on Jess’s next date. I’m still waiting on a few pieces of art for it so instead of going right into implementation, I’m instead focused on writing Eve’s next date instead.
Phoenix is still working on Jess’s date images. The sketches so far are ...

This week was thankfully uneventful. Writing on the various dates is progressing on schedule, with Jess’s second date already about half way done. I expect to get it fully written and into the game by next weekend. Phoenix should be done with the art for this date by next weekend as well.
I also took on some long standing tech tasks this week. I’ve figured out a q...
Update time!
So ah… this has been a bit of a crazy week hasn’t it? Like most people on the planet, my productivity wasn’t 100% this week for obvious reasons. I did manage to write up the skeleton for both the Jess and Eve dates. As well as handle some typos that were reported this week (thanks Gwaxer!)
On the art side Wyne has completed this lovely background image which will ...

Early update this weekend since it was a rather busy week. As you know I built and released v 0.1.1 for Mac and Linux. I’ve also added some quality of life improvements like windowed mode for all builds and gesture support for the Android version. With no more major bugs reported I’m considering version 0.1 done.
So I’m now moving on to working on version 0.2.0! I...

As you should be aware, I released version 0.1.0 of Body Language yesterday! The feedback so far has been good. I’m looking forward to some more player feedback in the coming days. If you’re inclined to leave a review on the game, those really do help a lot. I’ve also shared your general appreciation of the art with Phoenix and she was very happy with t...

I’m happy to report that I’ve hit my writing target for the third girls first date. It is now complete at a little over 2k words. I still have some minor editing left to do, and of course, transferring it from the page to the game. But I’m confident I can get that done during this week. Phoenix is also on track, having delivered the final sketches for this dates last as...

Where does the time go? I spent most of my time this week polishing the third girls first date. I’m still a little behind schedule with it, but hopefully by pushing a bit during next week, I’ll have everything ready in time. All background art for this date is now done. Phoenix has completed the sexy date reward CG already and is hard at work on one final piece of art req...

Another week of writing done. I’m not progressing as fast as I’d hoped. Turns out long term quarantine isn’t great for creativity, who knew? Seriously though, I had enough already written down to allow both the background art team and phoenix to work concurrently with my writing, so they should all make the deadline for this last scene. I’ve allocated more of my own t...

Despite struggling with my sleep issues this week, I did accomplish quite a bit. The second girls first date is now fully in the game. I really like how it turned out and hopefully so will you :)

The writing and editing of the second girls first date is done. I really like how it turned out! It plays with a kink I don't remember seeing used in a game before, so that should be fun. I’m currently in the process of putting the date into the game (managing branching dialogues, drawing backgrounds and sprites, and adding sound). Since all the art is already done, I figur...

Eventful week we’re having. I hear there was some kind of vote or something? Sounded important. Anyway, I spent this week working on the second of three dates I have planned for the release.

I’m happy to report another productive week. In addition to hitting my writing targets for the date I’m working on (including some fun subtle references), I also got some very helpful feedback from a fellow dev. Not only has Mr. Hands clued me in to some less than clear elements in the games intro, he also gave me some handy tips about UI design. As you can see, the games...

This week started with getting some more helpful feedback on the current state of the game. As usual, that meant a round of fixes and tweaks. There’s still one major bug that only happens some of the time (and never on my machine), those are always… fun… to get around. But like all bugs, it will be found and squashed eventually.
