Sir Stretchalot - The Wenches in the Well changes
Hi everyone!
Just wanted to give an update on where things are at. I've been posting more on Patreon and on my Discord. The progress reports are not paid. You can read them for free on there. There's links to my Patreon and Discord server at the bottom of this post.
Quick update on me: I've been out of action with a health issue. I was born with one kidney and it plays up from time to time. It's on the mend now though, which means I've been getting stuck into things really hard.
The sequel to Sir Stretchalot is shaping up to be way bigger and better than the first game. I'm trying to address all the complaints I got (didn't get too many negative reviews though which was awesome).
Here's just some of the new stuff it will include:
At least double the amount of hardcore images in the first game. Maybe even triple which would make it 15 images.
Longer play time (should be double the length at the very least, if not more). To give you a rough idea: the first episode had about 6000 words of dialogue. The sequel already has almost 4000 and I'm not even out of the first act yet., and I want the middle act to be bigger.
Less linear (I'm planning for it to really open up a bit in Act 2. You'll be able to explore and do some things in your own order).
Branching dialogue (Probably won't be a ton of this, but I want to experiment with it for this game).
More varied gameplay. It's not going to be just a visual novel with basic combat this time. There will still be heaps of story as that's what I'm most interested in, but this time I'm also doing some stuff with stealth, and the combat is going to be more fleshed out. Also, probably going to do some other stuff like basic puzzles and clue finding if I can work it in.
Steam achievements. Pretty sure I know how to make these work, but will take some messing around with.
Anyway, onto some art previews! I'm going to copy and paste a lot from the Patreon posts for this:
I'm planning there to be 2-3 feature girls in the second Sir Stretchalot game. Here's the first one, an elf named Miranel (Mira for short). Check her out:
FACE DESIGN:
INITIAL SKETCH:
POSE IDEAS FOR BUST ART:
REFINED BUST SKETCHES: FACE REFINEMENT FOR MIRA'S BUST GRAPHIC:
AND FINALLY WE COME TO THE FINISHED MIRA DESIGN SKETCH: Finally, she's looking like the sexy, spunky elf with attitude that she's supposed to be! There's going to be a few more details added later which will sell her character even more.
QUICK COLOR SKETCH: These colors aren't final and can change later.
AND FINALLY, THE FIRST STEP OF RENDERING: With the design finalized, the rendering towards the final image begins! What comes next is probably the longest part, but I think it'll turn out awesome.
I should be able to show you the finished art for Mira in game within 1-2 days. After that work will begin on the first 18+ illustration for her, which I can't wait for! (keep in mind, finished 18+illustrations will only be available to members on higher tiers on Patreon. I can't show that 18+ stuff here)
Before the bust art gets finished though, I'll have some really cool
