Dev Update #9 - Our Progress So Far
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2944560 Hey everyone! Last week, we said we'd update you on the game's overall development progress. Season 1 will consist of five episodes. We currently plan to release all of these together at launch.
Firstly, there's still a long way to go until we can release; however, we're progressing steadily.
We've posed all of the still images for Season 1. This is currently slightly under 10,000 images. They are still a long way from their final forms, though. We need to enhance some of the environments by improving the textures, and we'll also need to repose some images after testing. Once we've approved all images in their final poses, we'll need to light, render and complete post-work on them. We are still a long way off finalising them, but the fact that we have these images posed is an exciting milestone for us!
We've started play-testing the game's first episode with our work-in-progress images. This exercise has been helpful so far. We're ensuring that the images match the dialogue, changing character poses where necessary, adjusting dialogue to flow better, and expanding it in some parts. The testing is still in the early stages, but like with the still images, it's exciting to be at this stage.
We've now animated all "safe-for-work" animations planned for Season 1. During testing, we're mapping out places where we could add more, so we may do so as development continues. There are currently 23 of these animations. They still need additional work, such as texturing, lighting, rendering, post-work, and sounds added. We're also making significant progress with the "not-safe-for-work" animations. Of the 62 planned, we only have nine left to animate. Again, these numbers may change, but this is where we're at in our current plan. Additional work is needed on these until they reach their final form.
While we've implemented the first version of the game's interface, we know there is still room for improvement. We've not worked on this recently, but as we approach the launch, we will make some big changes to ensure it works seamlessly.
We've done a lot of work on this, but there is very little in its final form. Once we begin lighting and rendering the images and animations, we'll have many more graphics to share on these posts. We're excited for that! We're still waiting to commit to a release date, but our internal aim for Season 1's release is Spring 2025. We hope this provided you with some insight into the game's development. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment! Have a great weekend :)

Where are we at?
Firstly, there's still a long way to go until we can release; however, we're progressing steadily.
Still Images
We've posed all of the still images for Season 1. This is currently slightly under 10,000 images. They are still a long way from their final forms, though. We need to enhance some of the environments by improving the textures, and we'll also need to repose some images after testing. Once we've approved all images in their final poses, we'll need to light, render and complete post-work on them. We are still a long way off finalising them, but the fact that we have these images posed is an exciting milestone for us!
Testing
We've started play-testing the game's first episode with our work-in-progress images. This exercise has been helpful so far. We're ensuring that the images match the dialogue, changing character poses where necessary, adjusting dialogue to flow better, and expanding it in some parts. The testing is still in the early stages, but like with the still images, it's exciting to be at this stage.
Animations
We've now animated all "safe-for-work" animations planned for Season 1. During testing, we're mapping out places where we could add more, so we may do so as development continues.

User Interface
While we've implemented the first version of the game's interface, we know there is still room for improvement. We've not worked on this recently, but as we approach the launch, we will make some big changes to ensure it works seamlessly.
Overall
We've done a lot of work on this, but there is very little in its final form. Once we begin lighting and rendering the images and animations, we'll have many more graphics to share on these posts.

A College of Thirst & Claws is an immersive, story-driven adult visual novel.
As a werewolf joining a supernatural college, you'll be thrown into the deep end of a sinister conspiracy in the town of Lanstone.
Develop relationships with beautiful women as you shape your own story.
You and your twin sister, Mika, spent your lives in a werewolf pack, where your father's the Alpha. Unfortunately, he harbours a deep hatred towards you and isolates you from the outside world.
When he abruptly forces you to leave and attend a unique college that helps supernatural beings mingle with humans, it seems the perfect opportunity to start a new life.
The plan was simple: mind your own business and never return to your pack. It would've been easy had you not aided a newly turned vampire. You've now found yourself in a sinister plot far beyond anything you anticipated.
Develop in-depth relationships with a cast of girls, including werewolves, vampires, mermaids and witches.
With the six main love interests, will your connections be romantic or purely sexual?
Will you be hot-blooded and dominant or calm and analytical? Can you find the right balance?
Can you stay under the radar, or will your choices draw unwanted attention?
