Howdy! Here’s what’s up:
Moana has finally finished Moaning all “image sets” (basically individual scenes for pole events) and is currently busy placing them in the text, which should be the last remaining thing for her to Moan.
While I myself continue to work on more content, on future updates for Defenestration which I will tease after Moana finishes Moaning the upcoming one.
I’m also continuing my work on the side-game with two other princesses, and in this post I’ll tease some stuff about it and continue our conversation about Kira’s new hair.
First of all, here’s the poll winner of the last “Hair Shape” poll:
Huge thank you to EngelsPringles for suggesting this marvelous hairstyle!
We will still have “the color poll” for it, but I feel like it should be made after the last remaining hairstyle shape (Hair 5) will be known. Oh, and “styling option” for it is a version that will only be shown in dialogue art.
Above is the updated version of the final hair poll for Kira “Hair 5”, it has all of the options that lost the last poll, plus two new ones.
“Option 4” was suggested by Darth Najida and “Option 8” was suggested by Dr. Madness MNA. Big thank you to both!
On the topic of Option 8, it was technically suggested as a hair that goes below Kira’s hair (so, a replacement option for “Hair 0” - the reverse Lening uncut one I made). Meaning that I will have another poll with just two options for Hair 0 after this one. But, I still included it in this particular poll to have an even number.
But, apart from that, the poll that is currently up and running is the final “Hair shape” poll, because we can only have 5 hair options that are shown in events (otherwise I’m going to drown both myself and Moana in work).
Now, that’s all the new information I have about the hair options, but there’s another hairy situation that recently happened:
There’s a saying “When it rains, it pours”, recently I learned a whole new meaning of it - a ceiling in the office space we rented has decided to fall due to some pipe leakage or something. There was around 20 centimetres of water and everyone got wet (not in a good way, smh).
Fortunately, we haven’t lost any progress. The only real casualty was the picture of Gabe Newell as Jesus that we had on our desk, our lord and saviour simply got too wet to remain in our plane of existence and peaced out back to the mountains of Olympus where he was carefully sculptured by none other than Zeus himself.
I know that in the spirit of the upcoming Easter, we could make a replacement, and resurrect our own little Gaben just like Jesus printing him out again, but that’s not possible - since he never learned how to count to three.
So, I’d like to take a moment of silence and press “F” to mourn our fallen icon.
F and rest in RIP, Lord Gaben. You will be missed, you lived like a legend and went just like you lived - watching people get wet with a smile on your gorgeous face. May you make the pearly gates of heaven as steamy as you made our lives for all those years.
But enough sulking, that’s not what our lord and saviour would've wanted, he’d want more games.
Above is the first version of a new character I made for the second project, it already underwent a couple of iterations and changed a lot. But I still wanted to show him to show you that I am not just sitting around and working on new content for both projects.
ALF is a character that can be changed, as in - he will have a female option as well. I do not wish to prematurely talk too much about this second game, as it’s still in its early days (and Defenestration will always be a priority for me), but I did want to show you what else I’ve been working on and that there’s progress in both games.
As an added bonus, in case you ever wondered “What if”, above are the “male” versions of our Kira.
We did not go in that direction with the second game, so those images are “scrapped” (won’t be used anywhere), but there’s a chance that at some point the Defenestration might have a new character named “Kir” as a result of this (as an NPC, just to be clear).
All in all, there’s some solid progress on both projects, and I promise I will both tell you and show you more once Moana will finally finish Moaning, as I do still feel kind of silly talking about what comes next when we still haven’t finished that cursed pole event.
I still think that after the pole update things will go much smoother, and remain optimistic when it comes to our currently broken release schedule.
Note: In case you missed the notification, there’s a new and final “hair shape” poll directly below this post.
Thank you all for your patience and support, the end is near!
