Dev Diary #19: Progress Update November, December & January
🕑 Added 2018-02-05 20:21:00 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
look who's back after a somewhat bigger pause: The monthly progress summary! Only that it's three months this time ;)
We haven't done one of these in the last two months because we had our first public release mid-December and I spent lots of time bug fixing, optimizing and answering questions all around the internet. We've seen a huge increase in support which still leaves us speechless and brings us so much closer to our goal of being able to work on Sexy Exile full-time!
Now that it has become a little bit quieter again, we've started to advance the development of Date Mode, but more on that below. I will try to keep it shorter than normal because it's so much stuff ;)
Art Updates:
Baby:
- Lineart, finished Artwork and Cumshot Artwork for 2 XXX Scenes
- Lineart for two stickers as well as one finished sticker
- Portrait stages along with some more character info
Alvah:
(First girl to be created by a user (our first $100 patron). Read more about changes to Create-A-Girl after Alvah under "Patreon Updates")
- Introduction and sketches
- WIP portrait stages
Mayu:
- Dialogue background art for the street she lives in and the apartment building. Both are included in our public demo.
Other:
- Christmas Special with Nikki and Anaela (girls voted by patrons)
Development Updates
- First public release in mid-December
- Several bigger and smaller updates including major performance tweaks, multiple control optimizations, balancing, a retry option, refresh rate fixes for monitors over 60Hz and much more
- Prototyping and writing for Date Mode in progress, WIP insights and footage posted to Patreon stream.
Patreon Updates
We were contacted by Patreon and asked to remove everything NSFW from our page description. While that is annoying but not that big of a deal, we also had to remove the Create-A-Girl Raffles. Because the first Participant got in as a guaranteed reward, we will finish what we started of course. It will take a while, so we wouldn't have had a raffle anytime soon anyways.
Still, to make up for that, we added a new "Create-The-Girls" reward to the tiers of $30 and more, that will give all those patrons the opportunity to give us their input and ideas for upcoming girls in special surveys and polls. The first choice is coming up soon :)
Next Goals
- The Majority of art for Baby is done and we will send out the high res downloads to qualifying patrons as soon as the rest is finished, too.
- The next somewhat bigger goal is to create a prototype for our Date Mode and test it with our beta-access patrons. This prototype will be 100% function-over-form, so it won't look like much, but it will contain all basic mechanics to get a better feeling of how it might play in the end. As mentioned above, Cucu has begun to write some dialogue and texts for the date events and I will soon be able to begin implementing them.
That's it for today.
Thank you for your time and support <3
Cucu and Zanzo

Found about this from shades. Very promising game and happy to see your hard work paying off from all the community support. Excited to see more from your team and of Anaela, great design choice to have her as your forefront character, shes one fine looking angel.
