Lights Camera Action - The Replay Function
Greetings, detailed post about the progress will follow the next days, but it's going well. For today I want to announce a feature that has been requested a few times in the past already. I'm talking about the replay function, that lets you revisit previously sees scenes again. And with me constantly changing variable structure and messing up old saves, this was probably long overdue. Luckily the amazing Novakard, has taken it upon himsel...
Report and discussion
Hey, small update on the process.Was a bit of a stretch, but pretty much everything regarding combat is done for the update.Next step is building the regular scenes and preparing the dating game. Two new dates are written, Phil and Aline to be precise. While the real dating game start in the update beyond this one, I want the base level set for all characters and give them their chance to earn the first points of affection.So what's coming wi...
Mini Dev-Update Early November
Hey, just letting you know what's happening currently.Last week I spent mostly on adding and improving the alleys (while my team worked at other ends of the game).So next update you can expect 2 new enemy types, a new spell, an upgraded martial arts move, the chance to train Akari's and Stella's skill, 5-6 new written events and a system that shows which nodes contain still unseen events or events needed for the main story to progress...
Dev-Update + Patreon Special
Greetings, ladies and gentlemen.My last Dev-Update here was quite a while ago, which is mostly cause I didn't want to come here with empty hands... AGAIN!! But today I bring at least the promised mini-arc with Susan and Albert, focusing on how their story develops after the events of the lab assault. Susan's Spark:This scene is my special thanks to all the people supporting the development of Gina's Gym, even in times when there is no...
September Status Update
Greeting everyone,here is my slightly delayed status update😅 I simply hope you'll trust me enough that I'm working on the project without writing about it regularly by now... aaanyway, time to bring you up to speed.Writing:We are making constant progress, sitting at 5k lines of pure writing now. Stella's recruitment arc is finished, as are most of the scenes with Aline and Stella in it. Too bad our cast is by now pretty large, so i...
Fate of Enzi
Greetings, time to get some opinions about our next lovely guy: Master EnziOur little redhead has a crush on her teacher, so far it's canon. Not unheard of, especially considering this guy was the one who got her out of her shell and placed his trust into her when few others did. Too bad they are 10 years apart and he still thinks of Jade as a kid...Comments are always welcome! Let me hear your thoughts on this one.
Fate of Mike
Hello, as announced I am trying to slightly reduce the required amount of content by gauging interest of the Patrons. In this update the decision which chars are dateable has to be made final and I want to give this decision to my highly esteemed patrons.I will over the next week I will post a few of those votes and the characters that get the least positive votes in the end won't get a romance path with Gina.
Mid-August Dev-Diary
Hi, been a while since my last post, so let me bring you all up to speed on the current status.Writing: We're roughly 3k lines of pure story in and sadly not even nearly done. With a new strength level many things open up in Burlingfort, but not only that. We have Aline's growth to handle, possible growth scenes for Rose or Jade, we have Xici's next steps, we have Susan and Tanya's next steps, the whole aftermath of the lab assaul...
Dev-Diary: The "new" roadmap
Greetings everyone,time to deliver the promised updated roadmap. You guys should have an idea to where we're headed after all. So here's the "new" roadmap, which is totally different from the old roadmap...Sooo... Let's tackle some of the bigger topics regarding act 3:Growing girls:My original script only had plans for Gina, Stella and Jade. I wanted all of them to have a different type of growth for their initial scenes (Trai...
Gina's Gym - The "Dark Souls" of Adult Games
The difficulty on GG has been an issue mentioned a few times. For our curiosity and to gauge if more work on this topic is needed, please indulge me by answering this quick poll.
Update 5: "Amazonian Assault"
Greetings my dear patrons,let me start as usual by thanking you for your continued contribution to this game's development. I highly appreciate your patience and support. And while I missed my estimated release date, as usual, I really hope the quality of the update will make up for it. The sheer amount of soul-crusher type images and the complex code for both Akari and the new boss simply took more time than expected (big thanks to everyone ...
Quick status update
Hello everyone,little progress update. As you can see, Gina is hard at work. Ok, she has no idea how to code... or make images... or write really... BUT she's giving moral support anyway!So, play-test version was compiled yesterday and my testers already found a few bugs, which Syricc and me crushed yesterday night. A few more things were mentioned too, mostly QoL issues or things that could use polish. So expect a release at the end of the w...
Status Update
Greetings everyone,as you might suspect, my lofty June ambitions didn't quite turn out like I thought they would. Not even "Mechanic Gina" was able to salvage my broken code and images in time 😥Now while almost all the pieces needed are present (text is done, images and code are almost done), putting it all together into a working game is a lot of effort. So I might need roughly another week to put this out and deliver a playtest-v...
Mid-June Status update
Greetings everyone,let me quickly bring you up to speed on the current progress. And before you ask, no, I can't share pics of the girls!! Those are all choke full of spoilers!! So you get the beautiful Vito Genovanno, checking up on the game's progress over his phone for today!Writing: 95% done. All scenes are here and the only work left is to iron out inconsistencies between authors and minor adjustments to the last sceneArt: Roughly 5 ...
Burlingfort Blues: Patreon Release
Greetings, my esteemed patrons.Let me thank you once more. You are making the development this game possible and I'm immensely grateful for your patience and support. So I'm really happy to finally deliver something again. And I can honestly say my team members have really outdone themselves on this one :DSo here's the bad news though: SAVEGAMES WILL NOT WORK!! As we constantly add new mechanics and concepts to the game, the variable ...
Quick update
Greetings, small update on our progress:Playtest versions have been shipped out earlier today and the bugs found are mostly fixed by now. Meaning, you can expect the Gina arc to drop early to mid next week.However, as mentioned before, the great Act2 finale with the lab assault won't be a part of the next update. We will need a few weeks more to wrap up and polish out climatic showdown. Should however get released in June then, as a lot of th...
Quick update
Greetings,just my regular stalling before the update. Lil' Queen Jade will have to wait for a little while longer before her potential rescue.The scenes for the Gina arc are all accounted for and the images are almost done. I expect being able to start placing the finished scenes into the code the next days and write the necessary triggers. All in all I hope to be able to finish a test version till the end of next week.
End of April - Status Update
Greetings, ladies and gentlemenHere's a very quick update, just to show we're still working 😅Writing:Not much to say. We're at 4,5k lines now, so when this will be finished it will be as long or longer than the previous two updates combined. Of course some scenes are optional due to decisions in game, but otherwise those decision wouldn't matter.Art:"Show instead of tell" is as always taking its time. Belg and me are ha...
Mid-April Status
Greetings, ladies and gentlemenI'm here with another status report. Let's dive right in.Writing: Progresses smoothly. We are currently at 2.6k lines of pure text and we covered most of the events in town by now. Starting this week we'll get to writing the main-storylines about finding Richter's hideout and the Genovanno lab. All in all, the writing is gonna be as long as the previous two updates together. While the story isn't...
End of March - Dev-Diary
Greetings ladies and gentlemen,with the public release happening today, I thought I'd give you all a little heads up on how the development is progressing. First important thing: The public release will differ from the Patreon-Release in one aspect, as it has Akabane's otherworldly dream in it (+a few bug-fixes). And since we have four player-written dreams by now, I added a button on the main menu to reach those directly without having t...
Roadmap V2
Greetings everyone,not sure how many of you remember the old roadmap I posted way back in August. Needless to say a lot has happened since back then. And since me and the authors have been talking a bit about the story the last days, I dug out my old roadmap and decided to adjust it a bit.So I was able to place a lot of "Done" icons over stuff that was previously cooking 😁The big difference is though, that Act 2 got split into two part...
Patreon Release of "Velvet Touch"
Hello everyone :DAfter another 6 weeks, me and my amazing team got something to show for: The newest chapter of Gina's Gym: Velvet Touch. This is the second part of the split story arcs, focusing on Stella, Akari, and Aline. As last time, the new content is both reachable from "New Game" and from the end of "Update 3.0". It is again a linear story arc with roughly 3.5k lines and 40-150 images (dependant if you count different ...
Status of the update
Test version is compiled and shipped out. Since one of my regulars is busy, I only have one play-tester currently. If anyone wants to help out by testing it, you can contact me here or on Discord. (Not important though, as this is again a linear story arc without much code. One tester might even be enough here 😅)Patreon-Release is then on Saturday or Sunday, dependant on my schedule and if any bugs are found.
Add music to the game? Some opinions please!
So, as always when a poll is called, you should be wise to remember:Voting yes will mean other aspects of development will be slowed down (at least if I have to deal with this myself. If anyone would take the mantle of "head musician of the game", I wouldn't object😁) . Not slowed down significantly, since there are free music samples and instrumental pieces can be created by AI now with decent quality, but it will still take time t...
Intro - First Draft
Hi, I wasted an ungodly amount of time on this silly side project here 😅Haven't shared this outside of Patreon yet, so I might still be able to edit details on it. Feel free to give your feedback! I won't be offended as I have literally only started on DaVinci Resolve and Suno last week and I know I'm still a bloody beginner.Also progress on the game is pretty good. Should be able to probably get my play-test version out tomorrow.
Status Update
Greetings, time for my usual whining before any release..So the short version:Writing and code are all done. 2 scenes still need work with adjusting images and placing those into the game. This should all be doable in less than a week, so hopefully we can get a test-version out by the beginning of next week and then release at the end of the same week.While I had hoped to have this all finished a week ago, there were a few distractions here and t...
Stella Arc - Story Preview
Entire story arc in one picture... (Don't curse me for giving spoilers! I'm only kidding!!)
February Status Update
Greetings, been too long since my last update. Busy weeks and all...So, let me give you all a quick rundown on the progress of Stella's arc:- Writing is mostly done. On this arc it's really time for my co-authors to shine, as we will be getting a lot of scenes with Aline and Akari (no pressure here 😉). While Morlas did an amazing job at proofreading on the Xici-Arc already, this time a lot more scenes will be directly written by Silva ...
Quick Status
Gina: "L-Lick it off? W-What..."A.G.: "He obviously meant the spoon! Damnit Gina, get your mind out of the gutter!"D.G.: "Don't be so sure... here, spread some more on your boobs! See if he goes for it!"Yeah... need to find some way to keep Gina busy while we focus on Stella's arc. 😅Text on the next arc is about 75% done, some special images are being made by the great Belg. All in all we're progressing fine...
Release - Xici's Lab
With only one week behind me original plans, I can now proudly present the first of the three story arcs from the upcoming Update 4. In the first one we will follow Xici as the protagonist and watch her brilliant plan of turning Jade to the dark side unfold.The new content can be started from "New Game" in the main menu. On chapter select a "Xici's Lab" option should be available. And here's the download link:https://ginas...
