Dev Diary #3: Animations (+ Important informations)
🕑 Added 2020-08-25 14:13:40 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
I'd like to warn you about something not related to TH2 first: I do NOT recieve a mail when someone posts a comment on Fanbox (unlike Patreon). So don't be afraid if I take some time to answer, it's because I have to check manually for those comments.
Now that this is done, let's proceed.
This post will contain informations about the future of TH2 more than actual informations. But since I'm bringing bad news, I wanted to come with something so I brought some pixel animations with me ^^'
Because yes, I have some bad news. There won't be any TH2 update planned for the coming months. I spent hours trying to search a way out of this problem and at a moment, I had to make a choice: Either I put SoVO on the side to be able to provide an update of TH2 before I start working on SoV3 OR I focused on SoVO to finish it (meaning I'd never have the necessary time for the next TH2 update.) And I REALLY didn't want to have both TH2 and SoV3 launched with a pending side project that could end up being never finished (especially considering SoVO is meant to be the entrance door to the SoV universe.)
I'm perfectly aware it comes at a price: you guys have to wait even longer for TH2's next update. I'm really sorry about that m(＿ ＿)m Sometimes there's no good or bad choices. So feel free to unpledge if you want to (and thanks to those who'll stay.) The only compensation I've found is that I'll offer SoV3's first version to all the +500 Yens pledgers and not just those with the combo plan (so feel free to lower your pledge level too.)
SoV3's first version is meant to be released for Christmas. So I'll work on TH2 again starting January. Of course I'll post content whenever I can (like today).
Talking about content. I've commissionned nito, the pixel designer to create a bunch of animations for the next update. So let's talk a bit about what to expect:
I know that Kaya looks like a psychopath like that, but it's not what you think ^^' Starting the next update, Kaya will have to start scavenging her own material (you know, for the material list in the status screen.) Kaya will basically own a tool to scavenge 2 of those materials. The axe being the exception: it's meant for wood only (after all, there are 15 elements ^^'). When Kaya finds something from which she can scavenge elements, she'll use the appropriate tool on it to destroy it and get the material back. Considering the setting, don't expect to gather wood through trees, it's forbidden :x You'll have to chase a bit broken fourniture and stuff like that to get wood.
There will also be a small improvement system in the game: all tools will be updatable up to two times. Updating them will grant you more material when you scavenge using them. This won't be Minecraft, though, don't be afraid. There won't be stuff like "waiting X seconds before the thing is broken". It'll be a just a few hits and it'll break, no matter what it is.
Now about the other animation:
In order for the progression screen of the night at the brothel to be less dull, I decided that some animations will be randomly showing over the progression bar of each girl. Each girl will have 3 possible animations (2 "normal" ones, and a more hardcore one that will unlock after the girl reaches a certain rank.) The guy has no face because it's meant to be playing totally randomly, no matter with whom the girls are. This is purely graphical unlike the axe animation that serve a real purpose. But I thought it would be nice. I hope you'll like that small idea :)
That's all for now. The next time I'll come up with videos if everything goes well. They'll show quick sequences of how the brothel should work.
I'll see you at that time o/

Well, that's very nice of you ^^ I'm not used to be this complemented about the first game (too many flaws x)). That being said, I'm aware of what was interesting in the first game and that's why I'm trying to make this sequel keep all the interesting elements and get rid of all the flaws of the first one. As for the fetishes, well, I can only put stuff I personally like. But I didn't come to Fanbox for nothing. Now I'm REALLY free :p I hope you'll enjoy what I've planned for the game. Sorry you'll have to wait a bit before seing it ^^'
I love the fact you made a Hunter 2. The first was without a doubt my favorite adult game. The freedom to enjoy whatever kink you want and have that kind of ability in a single game was a godsend. Honestly id push to involve basically any kink your dark little mind can think of, and let the fetish selector sort out if people want to play it or not. Im happy to see your still working on TH2 even if sadly it had to slow down a bit. Please keep it up, this game series has some real potential as something people can actually play and feel like they are playing a real game, and not just a sex simulator. That was always my biggest annoyance with adult games, either they lean to far into rpg without sex, or to far into sex with no real game elements. the hunter series seems to have hit that sweet spot of perfectly in between for me and im sure many others. I take my hat off to you and an excellently designed game and hope to see more in the future.

That's awesome. Thanks for the quick reply. Good luck! :D

Don't worry, there are no dumb questions, only dumb answers 8D. All the things that have been mentionned in the post are elements that will be implement in TH2. They're not available for now. They will be in the next update (that's why I'm making posts to show progress ^^'). And yeah there will be bestiality. I'll talk about it in a future post too ;)
Bob The Bot
I'm sorry if these questions are dumb, they probably are and I'm not too active on here. Is this a game or is it a part of TH2? Is it available to try out? Will there be bestiality content, dogs/wolves, to be more exact?
Ark_Thompson
That's the constant anxiety of having to deliver because you guys are giving me money ^^' Thanks for the kind words :)

Due to the fact I couldn't really let empty fields, I wrote everything down so yeah, at some point the game will feature pregnancy. It's probably one of the farthest element though ^^' (There are many other things I've planned to implement before that one.) But yeah, at some point Kaya will have the ability to get pregnant (and probably be able to give birth, probably to monsters too). I haven't decided the in and out of it (because it's for much later, you understand why I keep saying "probably" ^^'), but it'll happen :)
Like allways: stop working too much! lets finish SoVO first and than have all the time for the next projects. Plz chill down, we can wait :)
sooo.... see ya until next year? :D lol thanks for the update and your honest words! I still have a question, i played the early version of th2 already and there was a strat (or sexual experience) called "pregnancy". Does that mean that kaya is able to get pregnant or even give birth? not only to humans but also to monsters ? see ya! :P
