I am currently testing recent updates to the UMCH alpha, these changes are not yet released anywhere.
This week I plan to take a look into the Arielle story lag issues some people mentioned.
Also the start and hopefully finish the Arielle picture drawn in my style for that separate ARIA project.
Since in ARIA Amp’s animation is a edit I wanted to add in a unique animation for her. So that was my request to pinoytoons for the month regarding that.
Alukard has been helping do some ARIA edits I will finalize them. It is more positions for the main girls. and possibly others but well see. These would unlock later.
Sill need to finish debugging 2.3g and add in the AI robot.
Wanted to update the UMCH boxing mini game at some point. ttrop is working on the sex scene art for that atm.
Recently I got a email from the folks putting together the Kimochi platform for hentai games.
I realized literally none of my games are ready for anything like that. Even the finished ones. Impressing a audience was never my goal when making literally any game, it is why I never posted in hentai forums, etc. And it is why I starting putting the disclaimer there on the title screen.
But I would like to spend a bit of time hopefully not too long updating a few games. namely DoE and UMCC. Most people don’t even know about DoE but it is a essential part of the lore. Now that GemCo is more fleshed of thanks to ARIA. I can rework DoE. All I plan to do is add some hentai parts where appropriate, redo the scenes and a bit of the story. I hopefully wont need to redraw anything aside from eyes. I will be grabbing stuff from the parts folder. Maybe convert a few old animations over to DoE characters. I also plan to adjust survival mode and add that in also.
Below are some old as balls animations. In retrospect the zooming is a bit nauseating.
For UMCC stuff I would need to replace the movie clips in it with the one I made here.

and I would replace the fighting minigame with the side scrolling fighting. and try to make the camera park minigame going better. some hentai parts I might have to take out of I cant get the art to match decently without taking forever. So all that would be some legendary update 5 heh.
All these are just ideas for now and I would work on it in between other stuff similar to mmd videos or producing the animation videos.
Even though I am making UMCH. I think UMCC needs a bit of justice. The game is really solid and a shame it didn’t do as well as expected due to shit like the eyes.
I can also use the faces from here http://spiralvortexplay.com/svp/2015/01/12/umichan-character-updates/
I know sooner or later you would retrofit the old stuff. Hopefully everything can go smooth specially that DoE code nightmare you have there.
DoE I would say I do kind off miss the adventure part to it that you had the beta so long ago. Where Tempo is running foreword to the next enemies. I could imagine stages climbing up or down, jumping on platform not falling out of a pit. I was thinking Mortal Kombat Mythology. BUT I know it is not a reality, the code is a nightmare. The DoE flash was taking way to long. The good side of it is 4 player vs flash. And new animation of hentai. Well it’s ready a good flash. But users expected hentai. DoE needs more attention by users. I don’t see many flash that can do 4 player vs battle royal in flash. Minus Super Smash Flash 2. Before there wasn’t anything like your flash as a brawler.
yeah the story mode was interesting. I’ll see if i can dig it up and see what i can do with it. might can salvage some of it.
story animation was nice, but it build a big chunk of meg in the data. The good news is you added the novel Semitix in the flash when you remove the animated story parts of the flash. Well will see what you in the mood to do. Yes I already know what you are about. It have to be the moment you feel like local motion with you. Drawing is your kryptonite I already know that about you.
yeah while I have my little motivation going. I will see what I can do heh.
The animated scenes was limited due to newgrounds size constraints. but that is not a issue anymore. Thought I’d still probably prefer still image style stuff for this. Yeah for stuff like this, I’m not sure what I will do until the point when I start doing it heh.
I love UMCC, so I’d love to see any improvements you decide to make on the game. I remember trying to play DoE, or at least watching it on that auto mode you gave it. To be honest, it felt really clunky. From the large amount of text to read to the really confusing combat it was really difficult to absorb what was going on. Because it has such a large chunk of the story in it, DoE deserves to be redone. But don’t think of that as a priority. Focus on what you think is most important and get that done first. And take breaks when you need to.
Yeah DoE was specifically not designed for any person new heh. It assumes you have read all of Semitix which is why it is included. But I need to write in in a different way and probably not use the shitty bold font paragraphs taking up 75% of the screen. I will need ot use what works for me, ARIA style dialogue scenes. The game itself was kind of a experiment. a mix of a digital novel and a fighting game.
I actually tried to change some of the formatting of the file to be more user friendly, and possibly fix some grammatical and spelling errors, but I stopped when the task seemed a bit much for me. That and for whatever reason any format changes I did fucked up that picture at the end of the file. It would leave a blank page in between that I couldn’t get rid of.
*fiddles around with it in Word* OH! NOW I know why it was so messed up to me! It’s the wrong size! It’s in the same format as the pictures and not in the standard Letter format that everything else is.
it is designed to be read on mobile devices, specifically phones. So didn’t want too many words on a page. I looked at other eBooks to get a feel for words per page and the size.
Still no ARIA, guess we´ll have to wait, I really want to se the UMCH game soon, and New Arielle drawing, waiting for them.
Can only work on one thing at a time. The Arielle drawing is included in my objectives for this week.
Pft, what sort of excuse is that?! 😉
Seriously though take it steady and do stuff at your own pace. I’m as eager as anyone for updates but patience is a virtue and you’ve got to keep balance in life. You don’t want to burn out!
Luckily my own pace is pretty fast, there is just a lot of do across different projects.
