Animated Intro

 

 WHOOOOOOOOO!

All the writing on the "Hidden Character" is complete!!! Now all that's left to write is the rest of the Stalkers alternative chapter and a few missing content pieces in Daniela and the Stalkers main chapter. (As well as any other places that might have missing content or endings that need finishing off but I'd say that's few and far between at this point)

 All writing on Rebecca is finished~ 

(Daniela and Seb still have some places that need content but are mostly done.)

Choice Tracking

 Love Lock now lets you know which choices you've previously selected~ They are highlighted red.

I thought this might become necessary as Love Lock currently has estimated 1346 - 2019 choices in game.

Sound button!!

 A new sound button for each character~ so you can play random voice lines from the game.

Dysphoria

 So recently something was explained to me about dysphoria in a way that I could understand. 

Details here: https://itch.io/post/8550585

Anyway I felt like challenging myself and made a menu for it. It changes all words, so if you change "cl*t" to "butter stick" All people who have cl*ts/mention cl*ts will refer to them as butter sticks

example: Rebecca <(If you be a good pet and touch my butter stick then I'll touch your butter stick)

It doesn't automatically update the line but when you change it and then go a line ahead it changes it. You can also change the verbs/nouns back by pressing off on the main menu

Gender menu

New Gender Menu~

I love how this turned out and I'll likely be moving forward with this for all my games. Perhaps even revisiting Unknown to update it.

 

Show and Tell~

 Video starts off with the recording application but this is a Love Lock video of the current things added! I worked really hard on these things and wanted to show you all.

Things I'm show and telling:

1. Menu sound effects~

2. Main menu music :ghost: 

3. Animated menu screen (animations not complete there are peeps missing but I got it set up)

4. a little > after text lines~ 

5. No more heads popping off while skipping!~

6. BondageBunny Brand intro video~

7. New gender menu screen

8. Click to continue SFX

Art update on Rebecca

Just updating her face to the new art style I'm going with. There's not much of a change but it's there :3

Writing sample of Rebecca

Writing Sample of Rebecca:

POV "Get over it!"
POV "I don't love you."
POV "I'm never going to love you."
POV "It's over."
"She stares at me with hollow eyes as she thinks over what I've said."
Rebecca "No..."
Rebecca "You're wrong..."
POV "You know I'm not."
Rebecca "YOURE WRONG!"
"I'm started as Rebecca starts screaming all of a sudden."
Rebecca "YOUR WRONG! YOUR WRONG! YOUR WRONG!"
Rebecca "ALL OF THIS NEEDS TO MEAN SOMETHING!"
Rebecca "ALL OF THIS PAIN NEEDS TO HAVE REASON!"
Rebecca "Cause if it doesn't..."
"Her eyes look dead with rage."
"I find myself shrinking into myself from fear."
Rebecca "Then..."
"She thinks it over carefully."
Rebecca "Then you deserve to feel as horrible as I do."
"I start to regret breaking her illusion of hope."
"She starts to laugh to herself."
Rebecca "You're right..."
Rebecca "What was I thinking."
Rebecca "This isn't going to get better."
Rebecca "Theres no saving this."
Rebecca "You ruined it all!"
Rebecca "You're..."
"She can barely put her thoughts together."
Rebecca "You need to pay for all this."

Damien Animations

Damien's animation!

So since it deals with hypnosis, I added a "Help" button and there's a trigger in there to use it if you happen you get hypnotized. Where it will then relocate the game to make Damien say time to wake up 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, awake

Damien Sprite Art

 Sprite art today :3

Endings

 Oh I also went through the majority of all endings so that instead of being blank when locked, they are dimmed making it easier for you guys to look them up in guides later on. Like with what I did for Unknown. Still got a few more characters to do this with but most of them have it now.

Update

 I haven't announced in a while so I thought I'd share a bit of what I'm up to.

One of the things I did was went through David's route and changed all this sprites to reflect what time of day it is (so he's not bright against a dark background) Now that I think about it I wonder if there are other areas of the game that need this.... >.> I just know that David looks quite bright against these backgrounds in particular as there are no street lamps. The paramedic is going to need the same expression.

other than that I haven't been working on anything visual or written. 

I've been mostly adding sound effects, sprites and voice lines to Mark/David and Damien's routes, getting them all polished up and complete outside of finished art.

Visually I worked on adding achievements to each routes and making a better looking achievement screen. (spoilers in the achievement window)

Endings

Mark's route ended up with 34 endings! o.o

I wonder how many endings the game has right now as a whole 🤔 

34 + 28 + 21 +  53 + 9 + 22 + 15 + 21 = 203 endings in total so far.

Charts

 Just finished Damien's polishing touches (outside of music) now I'm slowly closing in on Marks

WIP CG Damien

 NSFW spoiler

it's like just an outline but one of his more sexier cg's. lmao I always ask myself this when drawing these images. "When the characters getting a blow job what the hell does he do with his arms. Make shadow puppets?!" xD anyway they are stuck off to the sides all awkwardly atm. XD

I just haven't shown any art in a while and wanted to show you guys a little some'ng some'ng~

Writing Progress Chart

 Figured it's about time to update the graphs with the current progress. 

Just got all of Damien's SFX, Voice lines, Status (Sanity, hp, love) Special effects, Transforms, and assets completed. Just music and ambience left to go and then play testing him for errors. So little yet so much lol

Maybe I should make a polished graph for you guys. I have a check list but it's hard to read...

Damien's got 20 endings as a whole. I would show a CG graph but I don't have them all in yet. So this is all for the graphs

Damien writing sample

 Damien's chapter is finally completely written after I finish this one last sex scene! 

Here's a snippet from the last bit of work I have left on him (you know... before art SFX, Sprites etc). It's the hypnosis play scene

Damien "trigger... Suck my cock."
"My eyes grow wide as he pulls his erect cock out and my body moves on it's own towards it."
"My lips wrap around his dick as if they were magnetically drawn together."
"Immediately I start to suck it."
"he moans heavenly."
Damien "Good girl/boy/pet!"
"I want to pull myself away from him but the urge to keep his dick in my mouth is too compelling."
"He pets my hair lovingly as I continue to wrap my lips around him and suck as if it's a pacifier."
Damien "You're so obedient now."
Damien "It suits you."
Player "Mmmhpmmff mmphmm!"
Damien "Now now [your name]."
Damien "Don't talk with your mouth full."
Player "MmmHHHmmpphh!!!!"
