New Mapping, New Character Previews and More!

Work is going well here as new things are added to the game. I have added a new person to the team by the name of 0nymous who is working on maps.

I suck at mapping. This is a secret to no one. This individual is very good at maps, and this makes me happy. So next version get ready to see all new maps in the game! Much, much better maps than I make. I'd love to show you but I'm pretty sure he doesn't want the WIP pics out. Shame. They look fantastic.

Some other work is proceeding well as well. Today I finished up a sprite for the dwarven heroine Audr, the very undwarvenly dwarf.

One of her two sex scenes are already done, so it looks as though she'll be the next heroine you fight. I've posted an earlier version of this before, so this is what she looks like in her scenes:

Work continues on the other heroines as well. Steveman has already finished two pictures for the three slaves sex scenes where you get to impregnate them, and is redrawing the sex scene with all three. Enjoy these heavily cropped sketch previews!

This isn't the end of the art, however. The skilled artist from PlanetofJunk who designed Audr has also begun to do the character design for the cute brown basque halfling girl Bilbene Bengochea. For the sake of not getting sued or the project shut down I may end up calling her people Bilbaoans (the name of the country) or Laminaks, though I'm not sure I  really want to alter her design to give her duck feet. (Basque mythology - go look it up!) Whatever I decide it'll probably make a difference on the end culture, as Bilbao means (or rather is guessed to mean by experts) "Beautiful River Crossing", or a few similar variants. The Laminaks are river spirits. Also modern day Bilbao is a manufacturing center of Iron and such, and this heroine was designed to be an alchemist/mechanic from the beginning. Just wait until you see the golem suit!

While many Basque ladies aren't brown, I grew up with a number of family that were a mix of Basque and Mexican. It's a look I'm rather fond of. Plus ancient arab invasions, fantasy world that doesn't have to be 100% the same, etc.

PlacidAndy has been doing some character battle sprites recently which I'm sure you noticed in the last version.

This is a sketch he did to warm up I'm happy to share with you:

And to finish things off, here's a preview of the Audr sex scene:

Delightful satisfaction.


EDIT:
Oh, one last thing - the Finnish Ice Queen has finally been given a proper name. I'm going with Ilmatar. For the life of me I can't figure out why I decided it was unsuitable the first time I went through.
