Welcome back! Sorry it's late but I am trying to get this game ready for Closed Beta! I am writer but here I am a full stack dev at this point lmao. My Coder Knight has to tolerate me. XD Lots to show so let's start things off with a bang. Benosphere: Husbando Tavern keep. Rach tracks down Benosphere, living in the 7 planes of existence, a world where all realities collide in a haphazard harmony. Chaos becomes order. A retired adventurer deciding to run a bar seems the pattern here. Beno runs his bar with a chaos and dedication that is seldom witnessed, with an even greater fervor and love for life. As he gets older, he seems to get even more passionate about the things about him. Some of his long-term customers would die for him, some say. And Rach can see why. There are rumors of Beno saving people by offering his advice or pulling them away from deadly decisions. Rach hopes she can get some answers and finds herself in over her head.

UI: Glow and Implementation is complete! We are tying all the scripts and functionality. That includes the H Scene UI. We are still dialing in themes so the player has full control. Ensuring it's a clean implementation. Animations for the UI, plus a blur is still to be added for the final polish. More snapshots of the UI. [previewyoutube=ijLTGNuLD14;full][/previewyoutube]






We are really happy with it so far. And we even added the ability to adjust the amount of glow in it. H Scenes:
Male Scene is complete and ready to put in. Female Route is at 85 percent, and we should be doing final polish in the next week or two. After that, we can implement with the finished UI, and start tying in all the audio, and interaction modules. Don't consider this much of a spoiler. There is interaction, audio, story script, and many other animations planned per scene and are already recorded and ready to be put in. XD Live 2D: Adding some dynamic lighting masks to blend the live 2d characters into the scenes a bit better using URP. Other than that, we are basically done. Touching up the layering systems to make things more efficient. Audio: Complete. Just need to do a final adjustment of levels, and tweak during closed beta. Niggles to work on: 1. Finalize Steam API 2. Translation for Buttons 3. Finalize Eula during Closed Beta Closed Beta: Coming very soon! I won't hex us by giving a date but we have only a handful of things to finish before we can start testing for the demo. If the closed beta polish process goes well, we expect demo to drop after around a month of beta testing. Fan Art for the demo will be inserted during closed beta and the artists will be notified. We have already received prior approval, so I hope you guys enjoy them! There will be an exclusive post just for Closed Beta so no worries on missing out! I will give you guys plenty of heads up. Promise.
Live 2D Character Art: Finished ready to rig: 1. Main Character (Male) 2. Main Character (Female) 3. Natsumi Moe 4. Hentai Professor Mel 5. AI Candii (90 Percent) Up Next : 1. Comrade Del 2. Fefe Rigging: Live 2D Rigging of the main cast will commence in November and December with more than one rigger. Story and Backgrounds: There is currently 34k words per route ready to input into Unity after the demo is complete. We have lots of backgrounds to make! 1. Main Character's Homes 2. Twitch Dating Locations 3. Waifu/ Husbando Domains 4. Bad Endings Example, right now we are focused on Asterella Star's Route, and we only have about 5 backgrounds. There are plans to have more than 20 per route. The backgrounds are a huge part of the story, and Taku and I have been discussing how we can best portray a sense of wonder with them. Every detail will matter. Each section will have to be finished before moving forward to keep work spread out. Say the first section after the demo is codenamed Denizen to introduce you to the twatch servers. Before we move forward we will conduct... 1. Editor Work with Shalen (Even a good writer needs another set of eyes amIright?) 2. Record VA for the scenes and finalize cleaning. 3. Send finalized script for Translations 4. Order any H Scenes in that section. (Won't wait for those to be ready before we move on lol. ) 5. Any cameo scenes set up as well during that section will be done in place. This way the majority of the work will be spread out in a healthy manner while completing the game. It's a huge undertaking and endurance is what will count. So I am really freaking excited to get down and dirty working on the story. Music: Legal permissions are WIP for some high profile music to be put in B1NARY. We plan to get a few per route for the Cast. Now because of the nature of Twitch and their DMCA Licensing issues, we will be only allowing these tracks to play on the Hentai Switch Game. Many of the permissions are already in progress and will be finalized by Game release. For now , that is all I have. I have a slew of things that demand my attention. I want to get this closed beta started ASAP. I appreciate all of you so much! I have some ideas for some future content just for patreons. I will keep you in the loop. Project Lead TherinWhitten
PS: Next Month's Update should be the Closed Beta Invite, so I plan to have that instead of the monthly update! It may be early or late, depending on issues we need to fix. However, be ready for it!
