I figured it would be good to make a post on where I am at on various projects. I will just mentioned them as they come to mind.
UMCH
Need to finish the Jeni quest and few other things to have completed what I consider to the core game. From there I will add music and sound effects and move it into a beta state. Additional things on the list of stuff to add to this game include more custom character stuff, the gymnastics club, the beach area where Maiko and girl team withing with Roise’s mom serves ice cream, and the Arcade area. possibly the lingerie shop from umcc also.
ARIA
yes ARIA not ARIO heh. I sent pinoytoons a nice list of things to do to support making a definitive final version or ARIA. It will have The ship designes from ARIO, idle standing and sleeping animations for main characters, way better tutorials, and the levels wont start off as hard in beginning. sounds effects for sex scenes. I may have individual planet missions like in ARIO. I all also add all the voice lines I have not added yet. lots polish, and gameplay stuff like that.
ARIO
Recently made edits to Phia based on concerns some people had. Also there is art I made for this that I haven’t used yet. I wanted to add you reach a planet there is a survival mode on the surface of the planet where the girl needs to last a number of days on the plane surface and explore the planet.
Agent Trainer
There is basically no story for this at the moment so it pretty open ended. Thinking about adding several customization features in there too or for a new game. I think it would be nice to battle or have sex with custom characters. would be animated tween scenes.
Umichan boxer
been working on this game a lot to get to playable state. It is playable now just not multiplayer yet. there is currently no way to gain HP or fitness stats. you gain melee from boxing, fitness or HP will be from sex (not added yet). but need something for the third thing. I also want to make it where you can fight male opponents and even play as one eventually. but for now I want it where you can fight them a least.
The Rookie
Finished day 2 while ago. Have not started writing day 3. But it will have combat system in day 3. This is being tested in ARIA:Jailbreak. I like making the VNs games because I make build them for any platform including mobile. So being to get animation working was nice. Now I need just a bit of gameplay beyond clicking dialogue choices. Will start writing stuff for the Rookie day probably sometime in December. I want a lot of different endings and have some paths the can only be started in day 3.
Other stuff
haven’t been motivated to do much MMD stuff. but will likely at least do my usual Christmas stuff.
had a idea to make my old DoE game into a pvp type game. At auto battle system and, different build for reach character is already in the game. Plus ttrop has a lot of the character profile art redrawn. Also haven’t forgot to make a VN that tells the story that happens in DoE.
I try to learn some construct 2 in my “other stuff” time where I take breaks from the main stuff. construct 2 allows porting to multiple platforms and have several game templates. There is a card game and stealth game template I wanted to check out to see if i can make hentai games from them heh.
still have a few things I want to get to in Unity 3D. updating the old crystal hunter game, making for of Umichan 3d, and making enough of umichan online to have public release and more online events. Also where you can save your stats. Wanted to make a 3D Aria game also.
wanted to working a bit more of various custom editor project I have made for fun. There is one for ARIA, and one for UMCC kinda. I wanted to work on that one a bit more.
if there is anything I missed let me know and i can update you on it.
Ah, I’m glad to finally know what’s going on. Even not counting when I play Agent Trainer, I generally check the site several times a day, checking to see if you’ve updated.
Many thanks, yeah sometimes it takes me while to post because it actually can take a long time to compose the post heh.
Another month is a new year, but also a lot of goals.
Thanks yep I always have several goals I’m trying to reach.
Can’t wait to try out boxer, other games seem to have some promising updates incoming as well
Guess I’m back to checking the site daily 😀
many thanks, at the start end end of the month I usually am working heavy on UMCH though so there are not many small updates during that time.
Finally the lingerie shop returns! I was wondering if you were going to bring that back. So who runs that shop? Did the woman ever have a name or are going to make one up? And will that be the lesbian pleasure site?
Looking forward to everything else, keep at it.
Thanks, not sure who will run it yet but yeah it will have yuri stuff
The owner from umcc never had a name.
I have a suggestion if you care. Trust me you won’t hurt my feelings. If you haven’t already decided on WHO runs the lingerie shop might I suggest Amber’s mom.
Damn Vortex, you always have a lot going on. Great job keeping it together.
How is your current status with your projects compared to how you wanted to be at the beginning of the year? (How are projects going now vs. How you wanted projects to be in January)
Thanks, I usually talk about this in a end of the year video heh.
Thanks for the update vortex! I enjoy how much quality you put into your work, very excited about the ARIA and UMCH updates you have planned!
many thanks~ glad you like it
Any chance of more Remi ARIA animations?
For once it’s not me asking for more Remi. Lol.
You obviously have excellent taste.
It is not planned heh. More likely you would more of Remi in other games.
I really want to see the finished version of ARIA, I don’t know how but I felt in love with that game, and it doesn’t happen often hahaha. I love your games, keep up the good work 😀
Many thanks. I’ll certainly work on it after i get the animation from pinoytoons, but i told him it’s not really a rush heh.
You have so much things going on at the moment, just take all the time you need haha, no need to get stressed out, that’s not good and I’m sure that no one wants that xD
