Concept Art Stream
Just finished up with a stream. Was working on a new character design. Still not quite happy with the overall design but I think I'm nailed down what I want for his face. Going to work on the design more.For those that missed it, subscribe to my picarto here to get notified when I'm on :)
Dev Blog #05
Another wonderful post, another wonderful week in development ^_^Let me jump right into it.Voodoo Monkey - Art AssetsI was able to crush a lot art this week. We're getting ever so closer! There's a lot of art assets going into this build and hopefully it'll be gloriously dirty. I actually took off Friday so I can have a 3 day dev session which helped a lot. I'm still working on the new backgrounds for the two new areas as those always take me awhile, but working in 3d and moving to sketching concepts over those grey boxes has be...
Status Update! Dev Blog #04
Another wonderful week has gone by and we're still plugging away! Things are going good. And to address the elephant in the room. Yes, I made proper developed medallion that goes on Lylas chest. It's the symbol of her school and is imbued with special properties that helps attract higher concentrations of magic to the wearer. Kind of like a +10 mana boost in game speak. Anyways, other than looking cool at the moment, it's really just a well developed piece of concept art. Enough of the lore, let's talk about development througho...
First Dev Livestream
Just tried out my first livestream. Here's a sped up version for those that missed it. It's not very exciting as I was just working on new sprites for Piezo but more to follow :)You can subscribe to my picarto here: https://picarto.tv/VoodooMonkey
Status update! Dev Blog #03
So a quick run down on what we've been working on this week. (Also thinking of change the "Status Update" title to just "Dev Blog #xx" since I'm planning to do these weekly now.)Voodoo Monkey - Art AssetsI've been bouncing around on different art assets and doing admin work for the project. Sadly, I did not get as much art assets created as I wanted to this week. Some personal stuff came up which threw my schedule off. I'm planning to makeup for my loss in production this weekend.Pale HorsePale horse has been kil...
Status Update
Hey Everyone, just wanted to give a quick rundown on what we've been doing throughout the week.Voodoo Monkey - Art ListI've begun working on the new art assets for the finished written scenes and will be focusing on them from here on out until those scenes are all finished and coded into the game.I've also spent a few days going through the Lyla's Curse project directory organizing the files. Some of the files started getting out of hand and now everything is nice and tidy, it's kind of mind blowing, the Lylas Curse project ...
Status Update V0.1.40
Hey Everyone!Just wanted to give a state of development update. I want to start doing these regularly, like weekly dev blogs to see how you guys like it. I'll have status updates on what we've worked on throughout the week and any other news that may arise to keep something nice and consistent. Let me know in the comments how any of you would feel about something like this, not all posts may be filled with massive advancements in development and I'll try to sprinkle in extra posts here and there as well with other teasers.So, what w...
Burning the midnight oil
Hey everyone, development is going good. I've been writing some really juicy scenes, I can't wait to start the art phase for these (I'll be sure to share snippets as I work).But time for bed now. Can only run on a few hours of sleep for so long before it starts to take a toll but it's easy to keep trucking along when you love what you do :)Thanks to everyone who's been following along and sticking with me! It keeps me going.
Writing Writing Writing
Been really focused on writing all of the new scripts. Theres a ton of scenes and this part always takes me awhile. But it's getting there. A lot of what goes into these scenes when writing is I also generate my exact list of needed art assets based on what the characters are doing as well as planning out the variables in code for various trigger points.When I get through all of the scripts, I get to start the art phase. You'll get to see a ton of wips then, showing writing wips are kind of boring haha.Got some new songs in the works as...
Status Update for V0.1.40
Hey Everyone! I wanted to give you a rundown and status update on what we've been working on since the release of V0.1.38. I took a small break after releasing V0.1.38 as I slightly burned out during the final crunch trying to push that update out but after I've recovered mentally, we've begun a deep dive into the next content and have been working steadily on it.So of the biggest feedback I've received on the state of the game is the addition of good H content/scenes. Well, I've decided to devote this update to greatly expa...

A little more time -__-
Sorry everyone, I still need a little more time and I'm dying here.I'm right at the end but need to still go over a couple of things with the code. Thank you for continually being patient. I'll need to work on it again tomorrow night when I get off of work.I want to give myself maybe until Wednesday night at the latest but going to push for tomorrow night.I'm just going through all of the dialogue interactions and making sure the characters are properly animated and expressing properly with each of the dialogue lines as you know...
Quick update for the Release
Hey everyone! Just wanted to give a quick update on the release for V0.1.38. I'm still pushing to send it out tonight. Most likely late in the night.

New Team Member and Battle Music!
Hey Everyone, I wanted to give a quick update on what's going on. One, listen to the sweet battle music that was just finished :)This is custom written and recorded and will act as Battle Music for future content in Lyla's Curse. This'll also act as announcement music for my next topic. When I made my last status update about being open to recruiting team members, I didn't realize as many of you would contact me with just a patreon post. I am very thankful to all of you. So within a few days of that post, I essentially found a p...
Process Video: Creating New Sprites
Sup Peeps, here's a process video showing how I create sprites for Lyla's Curse.These are some new characters showing up.
Status Update!
I hope everyone has been doing great. I wanted to update everyone on where things are sitting and didn't mean to go so long without posting a status update.So first things first, where does the game stand. Right now, I hate to say this but the update isn't ready yet to send out. I'm still working on a lot of things for it. I know it's been awhile but I've been working very steadily on it and if you follow the discord, you'll see how active I've been. There was a few set backs that I didn't account for that slowed...
Album Art for Spotify
I created an album cover art for BRKN HVN who's been writing and recording custom music and sound FX for Lyla's Curse. They want to post the music up onto Spotify and I thought that was a great idea. We've been working closely on all of the music over the course of the past like 7 months and have been very happy with the tone for the game. I have a ton of voiced sound effects that I still need to put into the game but they're ready.Here's some of the steps taken in case you're interested. I forgot to screen cap my proces...
Status Update! Super Long Post!
Hey everyone! I just wanted to say thank you for you continued support and belief in me! It means a lot, you have no idea. I'm still hard at work on the new update. If you look at my trello, it'll look like not a whole lot has been progressing but I can assure you a lot has been moving forward. I've been working on things all over the place and haven't gotten the tasks where I can straight up check them as being finished. I'm not sure where to start so I'll just jump right into it.So I've working on all sorts of stuf...
Promo: AI Angel
Not sure if you've heard of this, but I stumbled onto a video called "AI Sees Humans for the First Time" and was really entertained by the character. They just opened up that project and it seems to be getting a lot of steam. Anyways I decided to draw up a fanart thinking how funny it would be if Lyla stumbled onto AI Angel's via Chatroulette.If you haven't seen the video, you can check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyFwjHQhlgoIf you're curious to check out their page, you can check it out here: https://ww...

PROMO: Female Agent by Crushstation
Hey Everyone! I wanted to promote another game I stumbled upon about a month ago called "Female Agent" by Crushstation.Female Agent is a text-based RPG that stars a Western intelligence officer who's sent undercover into Bangkok's red light district. She'll have to navigate her way through a sex-fuelled urban underbelly to take down a dangerous international terrorist.Will she succeed or become trapped in Bangkok's criminal underworld?The writing in this is fantastic and the developer really knows how to pace the writing...
Status Update
Hey Everyone! I'm currently working on the new content for the next update. As you can see from the attached image, I've added a changelog to the main menu now which will contain the current versions features and release notes along with previous version notes.I'm battling adding more content on this update or sticking with a smaller area of the story so that I can get it done quicker but the gameplay will be shorter. Right now the work is going well.I have to thank Crushstation for giving me a shout out! Welcome to the new peop...
Lylas Curse V0.1.36 Public Release
Finally I've got a release ready. This release doesn't have any new H-Content. The focus on this build was to develop the mechanics and framework for Lyla to work in the Pawnshop specifically. The new content can be accessed by talking to Piezo after Lyla lives at the Pawnshop and has done Piezo a few favors. Talk to Piezo asking to "Work:...".Just a note, there is no cutscene that normally pops up telling you you've reached the end of the current builds content. Since working in the Pawnshop is designed to be done over and ...
