Progress Report #1 (new style) - Future Fragments
Starting over at #1 for the progress reports because with the new image setup, it'll be a lot less confusing if people are trying to find image versions of the previous reports, but they don't exist, etc.https://linktr.ee/hentaiwriter
It's another cross collaboration post, this time with Quickie: A Love Hotel Story!
Hey, so it's been a while since we've done one of these; an update post is coming next week, and we'll start with the bi-weekly updates from then on, we've actually gotten quite a good amount of content done too!That said, the cross collaboration post this time is for Quickie: A Love Hotel Story by Oppai Games!(They're the ones who made that really neat gif banner at the top of the post!)Definitely check the game out; they're doing some great work with it! For those of you new to the Patreon, every few months or so I lik...

(Future Fragments) Just a reminder
We post updates pretty frequently to the Discord over at https://discord.gg/puXrfSm if you're wanting to keep up with progress on Future Fragments!The reason we don't post updates here that often is because every time we post here, all the backers get an email notification about it, so instead of posting every 2-3 days and such here and flooding your inboxes, we'd rather save Patreon posts only for the big bi-weekly updates (which will be starting this weekend on the 7th).Just got a few people concerned that the game had suddenly st...

Note about weekly progress updates
Over the last few weeks I realized that posting every week kind of comes off as repetitive/pointless when a lot of the current stuff we're working on is big, bulky stuff (True Final Boss, Databanks/Cutscenes, etc.)So as a result, starting April 2nd, I'm going to start posting the updates biweekly instead, so then we can do a nice, big post each time, instead of weekly posts that are nearly identical between updates because of the time it takes to finish off some of these things.Outside of that though, things are going fine as usual; as ...
(Future Fragments) Weekly Progress Update #4
Well, honestly, this may not come as much of a surprise, but we've been doing basically the same thing we've been doing the last two weeks; True Final Boss programming stuff Databank / writing stuff Art stuff for True Final Boss BugtestingHowever, next week I should finally have an actual template for these updates and databanks SHOULD be done if all goes well!For something fun in the meantime though, here's about 1/4th of the current 3-hours long soundtrack in the link down below, on Soundcloud!PARTIAL SOUNDTRACK LINK: https://soun...

(Future Fragments) Weekly Progress Report #3
---------------------------VISUALS Work is continuing on the True Final Boss fight, not much else to report there---------------------------WRITING Databanks are about 80% done at this point; there's about 40 left and the recording for the completed ones is about 90% finished as well---------------------------GAMEPLAY Even more bugs for powerups have been found, and are being fixed; having 50 powerups you can mix and match leads to a lot of bugs! A few remaining maps have been finished for Ice and Earth---------------------------SOUND Datab...
(Future Fragments) About the $10 reward tier
Since we've delayed the game until Spring/Summer 2021, we've decided to also delay the cutoff for the $10 background name reward.So you've now got until the end of April to pledge to that reward, at which point it will become just an extra support tier.
(Future Fragments) Weekly Progress Report #2
---------------------------VISUALS Work is continuing on the True Final Boss fight A new CG was completed between Vie and WREN; you can see it in the Discord group---------------------------WRITING Work is continuing on Databanks; you can see some that are finished in the attached image---------------------------GAMEPLAY A majority of bugs have been fixed with the powerups over the last week Some maps have been edited for gameplay balance A few remaining maps have been finished for Fire and The End---------------------------SOUND Databanks were...
Update Post Day Change + some music!
We're going to change the weekly update post to Fridays instead, so then we can have "Future Fragments Fridays"!Look forward to the post then!In the meantime, here's the mastered version of the song for the first phase of the True Final Boss fight, "Humanity's Future"!There's another 10 songs left for that battle to master, although most of them we won't post until launch for spoiler reasons, of course.Also, the whole soundtrack will be available at launch both to buy (almost all the profits go towards Wishfu...
(Future Fragments) Weekly Progress Report #1
So here's the first weekly report; we'll be keeping these up until the game's complete between Spring to Summer 2021.These will just be short reports detailing what's been done with each portion of the game's content.These will be somewhat sparse for the next week or two as each of us are fairly focused on a single thing for the rest of the month, so there's not really much to specifically get into detail with.---------------------------VISUALS Work is continuing on the True Final Boss fight---------------------------WRI...

(Future Fragments) Delay on the Demo AND the Full Game, important post
So for a quick note, we'll be delaying this month's demo until February 3rd at midnight because we really, really want to get all the Powerups in for this demo, and Frouge needs the extra day or two to finish them off. (Remember, there's 50 of them!)If you pledged $5 in January, you'll still get the demo even if you don't continue your pledge through to February (it'll be in your Patreon inbox).-------------------------------------------------Now, onto depressing news, but stuff we have to do nontheless.For the tl;dr; - ...
Another cross-promo with another dev! (This time for Fashion Business!)
The following is their writeup, posted here verbatim per their request!Also, yeah, the demo's coming along good for Future Fragments; we're still pulling 12+ hour workdays on it!-----------------------------------------This Game is about Monica...And Monica is a " Rich B***h".What’s more - Monica is a Boss.Most of all Monica adores authority and to control people, and she manages everything in a not so sensitive or delicate way.If Monica was your Boss, you would likely be fired :)Everybody has met their own Monica before, that...
Regarding pricing in different regions for the final release of Future Fragments
One more thing for today; many of you here are from places besides America, with some of those places having lower average rates of income when converted into USD, which would likely make purchasing (or pledging) $20 USD to get the full game something that'd be very unfairly priced for your region.So I wanted to make it clear that the Steam release for Future Fragments will be priced appropriately per region; this means that the game should roughly be the price of 3-4 fast food meals in your local currency.For example, here's what the S...
Notification of $10 Backer Reward availability shutting down
Due to the work it'll take to get the $10 backer names in the game at this point, similar to when we shut down the Databank tier, we're going to have to cut off the "get your name in the background" reward for the $10 tier in a staggered schedule.All pledges happening AFTER the end of February will not be eligible for the $10 "name in background" reward.(If you pledged $10 PRIOR to that, you're still eligible for it!)Additionally, you'll have until March 15th to get back to us about how your name should be in the...

(Future Fragments) Poll about the most recent build and bugs in it
We've gotten a few people saying they can't run v0.48v2 on their computers, and I'm starting to think it's a Windows 10 bug due to some recent update.If you downloaded v0.48v2, can you answer the poll below? Would help us to know if this is a massive, operating system-wide issue, or if something else is causing it.
About the German Adult Games Ban on Steam
For those who haven't heard, Steam recently decided to enact a full ban on all adult games on Steam for users in Germany, thereby following the AgeID laws in Germany.Now, for those of you who wanted to get the game on Steam that are from Germany, unfortunately, that means at at launch, you'll likely have to get it on one of the many other platforms we'll be putting the game on (and if you've pledged $20 on Patreon before launch, you'll be able to get a key on a platform of your choice!)However, some time after launch, we do ...
Possible Patreon Messaging System Errors
Patreon has recently done some changes to its messenger system for creators, and uh, it's broken things pretty badly.Luckily, I'd already started a database of backer rewards/requests years and years ago, so it doesn't affect us for the most part, but if any of you are backing other people, have some sympathy for them if their systems weren't backed up like ours and try to be understanding if they take longer to message you this month (or the next).-------------------The point of this post is something else related to messages t...

Shouting out another fellow dev!
So a while back, without getting into specifics, I got shortchanged a bit due to clerical error involving some group business stuff. Now, the fault wasn't anyone's; as a group, collectively, we'd missed this error, and so no one was to really specifically blame, wasn't anything malicious or anything like that.However, the creator of The Villain Simulator, a guy named Znel, took it upon himself to make up the difference on the clerical error, despite me telling him repeatedly he didn't have to do it, he still insisted so that...
Need your feedback on a potential major bug in the demo
In the demo we just released, v0.48v1 (not any other version!), we'd like to ask if you're having any of the following issues. When you're listening to the main music track in the level (just standing there idle in the hub room), does the music "crackle" or "pop" at times randomly? Does the music "skip" or "stutter" or "freeze", like you're hearing it play, then all of a sudden it just stops playing for a brief tenth or half of a second, then it continues going again? Is the demo overall l...

(Future Fragments) Clarification on the full game reward + tiers
I'm seeing a number of you switching from the $10 tier to the $20 tier to get the game at launch; just to be clear, you do not have to do this.The game is a reward at launch for people who've pledged $20 cumulatively, meaning, in total, over time.----------------------------So if you're already at the $10 level this month, and it's your first pledge, you can just stay at $10 and pledge $10 next month and you'll have it; you don't have to go up to $20!Additionally, if you've already gotten $20 cumulatively by pledging...
