Snippets XXXXIII - Crew and Screw Co.
(We’re not going to talk about the cover screenshot yet :3)New crew manager that will be added in the next release <3It’ll allow you to set your active landing crew and can pool a much larger selection of crew than before. These are still all “minor crew” aka sailors ^^We went through several options for the maximum crew, and, uh, settled on 46 (38 on ship, 8 on landing crew) because it was kinda the absolutely minimum skeleton crew for a same size sailing ship. Actual ship of The Unnamed’s size would have had a full crew of 340 crew,...
Snippets XXXXII - By the Skiir’s Bleeps, I have been redyed!
Near Iskaai and Herlstead while on sailing map ^^There’s a reason we start with this image, and the reason is that it looks really nice. That’s it! I mean, it also shows a few things I want to write about :3First of all is probably the most apparent thing; The two big lines starting with “to” and an island name starting from the Herlstead port. What are these? What is this gui gimmicky and trickery? Why are there large lines on the pretty sailing map?!Good question!Those display the primary sailing routes around Skiir. Basically “Thes...
Snippets XXXXI - Saardan progress, sailing, and cameras!
Above is a screenshot of progress on Saardan’s “main” biome, kinda a mix between savannah and a desert ^^A spiky biome is visible behind the trees and other plants, and red deep desert further away.The “spiky tooth” biome that was visible in the screenshot before ^^Random view that looks nice ^^Different kind of cactiAnother big cacti, and more red desert in the background ^^Sailing map icon markers. Still using temp icons, but the location names will have a big banner to them and under it will display the factions present on the isla...
Snippets XXXX - Sailing with XXX is great, sailing with XXXX is the best
(edit: Looks like Patreon no longer supports linking images... xD)Above is a zoomed up (down?) view on the sailing map of the Skiia. There will be some additional guis for the Kirhaal name tag and some other things likely too, and the ship is visually static, but getting there ^^Zoomed out by Iskaai. The height of the island is visually slightly more intense than it probably would need to be, but I kinda like it. It’s an island cake <3Also literally moved there. Not “faked” for screenshots x)And yes you can dock too. The very core of the ...

Snippets XXXIX - Cold feet brrr!
Iskaai is a smallish island further north from Skiia. Slightly colder in climate, and quite a bit dryer island in comparison, but it is the home to the Heev, the primary hare species on Skiir :3The main town-... err, village-... I mean, hamlet, of sorts, on the island is called Herlstead. It is really not much more than a few homes, a tiny market and the inn. Herlstead is named after Herl, the Heev appropriater... um, entrepreneur, who basically runs the island x)And yes, that strong green is moss. It is a very mossy island too!The little islan...
Snippets XXXVIII - Iskaai Heev
All Heev work is now complete and the species is basically ready for release :3Next release will likely have Heev huntable on Skiia again, as is tradition (can we call doing it once before a tradition? Probably not!) with new species, but they’ll eventually get their own island(s) ^^Selection of skins and tails for ‘em ^^Some piercing locations for Heev (Sorry, no long line of piercings up and down the ears, it’d be funny, but a bit too silly xD)Progress on Iskaai (unlighted + lacking ground cover); a colder up north island where the Iska...
Snippets XXXVII - Land ahoy~!
(above) Overworld sailing map tests :3There’s still much to set up visually + some GUI to mark the ports, but the basic ideas are there; points of interests to explore (sunken ship top right), floating treasure (mid right, super realistic), shoals that slow you down (the lighter spots).Most of the stuff are still placeholders, and Skiia’s snowtops are tad bit too high riding, but the general visual look is there ^^Missing all the pretty things still, like ship animation, some more scaling tests, etc, but basically it allows traversing betwe...

Snippets XXXVI - Stop, Hareing Time!
Progress on the next species; the Heev (aka a hare) ^^Still missing a lot of things (namely fur, eyes, and the pattern is just a temp fox pattern with different colors). We’ll talk about the a bit claws later ;3There will be two main species of the Heev, the first one is the playable heev who can be found further north in the colder regions. This is the heev species you’ll be able to create characters with similarly to the faelain, davh/ful, and kizan. The northern heev will be a huntable species later on too, once we get to the ███â–...

Hunt and Snare - Additional Acts Poll
Hello everyone!You probably don't know me, but I'm Kadisurmik, the writer for most of Hunt and Snare's content. In addition to writing new characters, I'm also always trying to give existing NPCs some attention via Additional Acts or AAs. AAs are repurposed sex animations from other characters, with new unique dialogue and narration.The ultimate goal for the game is to have as many NPCs as possible with sex Acts. But, as they need to be written one at a time alongside other new content, I am always looking for inspiration and en...
Snippets XXXV - Rumors please!
Hello! I would like to hear some rumors, please (not literally, just for the sake of snippet conversation!) :3First function of the logbook showcased here is logging of rumors and other notes that player may find useful.You could think of it as a “quest log” which it kinda is, but it will also record things you’ve heard that are “of interest” but aren’t necessarily steps for a quest, or even part of one. E.g. you could hear about a treasure, and you would get a note in the logbook and when you found the treasure, it would be crossed...
Snippets XXXIV - Shipping Companionship is Loveshipping!
All aboard the loveship!The next build will have a first pass of ship decorations. The first pass basically just means that the ship is *decorated*, but we want to make some nicer assets for some places and add more things later on (like we do with islands too) ^^Tour ahoy, from bow to aft, and, well, mostly top to bottom!Oh. First stop; Brig. Not the nicest place, but doesn’t really need to be either. Pirates (the wrong kind) belong here.Second stop; The officer quarters. A bit nicer than the brig. All the cool people will go here <3Inside o...

For those of us represented by the colors of the Pride; We wish you a great Pride month, Pride year, Pride decade, Pride century, Pride forever. You deserve it, you deserve all the best and the greatest. The team of Hunt and Snare represents a wide variety of LGBTQ+ folks in the team, myself included, and you're always welcome and safe with us <3For others; Be nice, be supportive, be an ally, not just with words but actions too. Things have been bad for us LGBTQ+ folks these past few years, and things are likely going to get worse before th...

Snippets XXXIII - Build updatesssss
Not much more to go! Less Snippets, as there’s less “new” to show the closer to build we’re ^^Some of the kizan misc treasure you can find from chests :3Kizan clothes set 1Kizan clothes set 2Kizan clothes set 3Kizan clothes set 4Do note that while they seem super open, the clothes aren’t layerable so you can’t wear anything under them. It would be a cool feature, but a bit beyond our budget to do (there’s a reason you rarely see that feature in games!) ^^On new modding features;Custom traders with custom items; Also you can re-use...
Snippets XXXII - Desert Island Concept
Above is a concept for the next island we’re working on (still far in future), and it’ll be a desert island named as Saardan, some ways to the south-west from Kizan ^^Saardan, like with Kizan, will introduce a new species; The hares. Though in case of Saardan the new prey will be a Saardan subspecies of hares that are smaller than the playable species itself (as player has to be standard size always, but prey and NPCs can be bigger or smaller). The Saardan heevs are basically desert bunnies who will be featured greatly in the Saardan island...
Snippets XXXI - Clothes Are Supposed To Cover You (NO!)
Kizan clothes set will be a bit less covering than the pesky regular clothing of regular Skiir(..ians?). After all, the primary users are the kizans of the Dewseed Tribe ^^Not that the clothes are limited to them, of course. You’ll be able to get some for yourself too <3The clothes will come in two “parts” basically; The upper body (there’s no separate bracers, sorry!), and the lower body.Not sure if we’ll expand the clothes system to allow wearing underwear later on, but the kizan set is basically *open* and exposed all around :3The ...
Snippets XXX - Sailing WIPs
NOTE: Everything in this Snippet are *VERY MUCH* work in progress visually and gameplay wise here. Raw raw raw gifs in essence, so pay that in mind while reading and watching gifs <3The gif above showcases a simple AI that is following a ship and is trying to shoot at the ship it is chasing ^^Basic tests with handling the ship. The gui on right is game engine’s gui, and it’s just there for testing purposes, as everything will eventually be handled “in the world” ^^Some early variable tests for ship cannons, including various stats that ...
Snippets XXIX - Upcoming modding features
Ability to place custom spawners is showcased above; Basically modders can replicate our basic spawners to add more spawners in-game to add more prey in specific places, or for example add specific spawners that add their custom prey in-game as something that spawns only in a specific spot ^^Ability to add custom items, although this is just for custom item “icon”, not mesh items, but it will allow adding unique quest items and random items in-game ^^As custom items define the actual color of the clothes, modders will also be able to add ne...
Snippets XXVIII - Sailing Concept
A mockup sailing screen above ^^Mockup basically meaning a concept image to convey a concept/feel of a mechanic and show what it might look like in the future ^^My horrible mouse writing explaining basic heading changes while sailing. It’ll behave the same way in Combat (a more micro scale sailing with combat) and Travel/Sailing mode (a more macro scale sailing on world map) ^^The basic idea is that you set your heading (direction ship rotates to sail towards) and your sails (effectively the target speed of travel), and then can just leave it...
Snippets XXVII - Skiia Deco Pass
One of the upcoming build’s features is a decoration pass for both Skiia (pictured here) and for Kizan. This Snippet is more about the Skiia pass however and Kizan will be for a one later on ^^The basic problem with Skiia is that there isn’t enough to see and find in it, so the first deco pass (actually probably third by now?) focuses on adding more signs of life all around, be it past or current, and also it adds more treasure (chests, not new items for now) to find, so there are plentier rewards for exploration while you’re hunting ^^Pr...
