Public release: Mayu X1 Animation/Gallery Test

As announced in last week's summary post, we just released a little something. It's a standalone gallery-type viewer for Mayu's first XXX Animation including some small special features and accessories we tested to see if stuff like that would be feasible for the full gallery feature later in the game. Turns out it is!

We hope you have some fun with this small release, we might think about doing stuff like that more often if you do.

Once again, a month has passed. Time flies as we work on Date Mode, but we slowly begin to see a light at the end of the tunnel

Here's what we did in May:

Art Updates
Mayu
- We released an interactive version of her first animation after we did some customization tests that turned out better than expected. In case you missed it,

.
- Finally finished the complete remake of her 2nd animation.
- Cucu reworked all three of Mayu's collectible stickers to match our current standard.
- Work on her first date background artwork has started. Certain patrons could choose from two sketches and Cucu started to work on the winning one.

Alvah
- Being currently on hold because we still can't reach our first "Creator" patron, she only had a small cameo in a special artwork to welcome the bunch of new patrons we got last month.

Dev Updates
- The second iteration of Mayu's Date texts and dialogues is in the works. We will choose an excerpt of it to start working on a prototype/beta version of Date Mode any day now.
- The internal Date Level Editor is almost done. Complex events and dialogues can now easily be created, edited and saved in a data format I can "easily" process in the game. In order to demonstrate that, I posted a video showing the construction of a sample dialogue in the editor. All that's left to do aside from a few fixes and quality of life optimizations is finishing the loading mechanism so that levels can be edited over the course of multiple sessions. Oh, and I need to implement some kind of variables so that events can depend on each other and choices you made in other events. So yeah, I will hurry to do so and hopefully get to work on a prototype/beta this week.

Since Cucu isn't into soccer at all, she used the saved time to create this little special. Nikki is watching the trophy closely and will definitely notice if you attempt to use your hands during the game. So stick to fair play and maybe you'll be able to score In any case, she knows how to blow that whistle!
I myself have not been idling either! The long promised prototype/beta/wip thing for qualifying tiers is almost ready. It will be a first excerpt of Date Mode to test the basic mechanics on a slightly larger scale, but it may be quite ugly because most of the graphics, animations, effects etc. can only be added efficiently after the coding is essentially done. There will be a lot of work left after that, but it marks a giant milestone on our way to a full Date Mode Demo. I'll tell you more very soon!

Luckily, I too am only casually interested in soccer (and not at all outside from europe and world cups), so it's no distraction. What about you, do you follow the world cup? If so, enjoy it and good luck to your team!

If not, have a nice weekend anyways

PS: As we have Alvah on hold for a while (still can't reach the Maker patron responsible...), we have started to create a new girl with the help of the qualifying tiers ($30 and higher), which we will base on surveys and votes from those patrons. It may take a bit until her basic concept and look are finished, but we'll let you know

 

[Keep]

Dev Diary #29: Progress Update June

A little late this time as we needed to get our page unsuspended after another review through Patreon content control, but here comes the monthly progress report.

First of all, we hit a milestone with Date Mode development, the base features are all in place and we released a small, very rough beta prototype thingy for qualifying patrons. From now on, it's mostly finishing the writing, balancing and polishing. We're happy to say that our plan to publically release a Date Mode Demo in the second half of 2018 seems to prove realistic.

As we are focused on that, we don't have the capacities to post as much new sexy content right now, but we try to keep up the variety nonetheless.

We have started to work on "Polly", which is a project name for a girl designed by "Prophet" tier patrons and higher through input and polls. We are in the idea phase for her right now and will soon start to work on her appearance which will lead to more non-background art stuff soon.

Other Art Updates
Mayu
- Cinema and park date backgrounds finished and posted after a poll between two possible sketches

Nikki
- Nikki was featured in the Soccer World Cup Special artwork

Alvah
- As she is unfortunately on hold for a while, we posted her wallpapers

Other Game Updates
- We refined the UI design for Date Mode to adjust it to the current status of development
- posted a video of the (so far) finished version of our internal Date Level Editor in action, especially showing the construction of event- & dialogue structures
- I started to implement the visual stuff into the Date Mode "skeleton", like a proper, animated textbox for dialogue as used in the X-Mode Demo and various feedback elements as the prototype is working, but pretty unsightly right now ;P

And that's what I'm gonna do the next few weeks: Adding everything that makes a game appealing while fine-tuning and possibly expanding the Date Mode mechanics while Cucu finishes the remaining artwork and works on the date itself with our new writer before building the rest of the date level.

We'll keep you posted

Have a good one!

Dev Diary #32: Progress Update July



What happened last month? Let me tell you!
We're still working hard on Mayu's Date and with that, Date Mode in general. Early in July, we gave out the first prototype to our Patrons with Beta Access. It featured roughly the first chunk of the Date and pretty much all core features, but no animations, graphics, sounds etc. whatsoever. Since then, writing has finally been finished, the further level design is well underway and I have started to make it visually appealing

I started with a proper animated dialogue box like in the X-Mode Demo and adjusted it to handle multiple choices, a skip button that jumps to the next choice and a dialogue history in case you want to know what you've missed if you skipped ahead I also added a smoothly following camera to the date board as well as a standardized way to set and read variables in order to make the player decisions matter more.
I'm also almost done with developing a system that handles the different variations of the girl's portraits during Date Mode since - because of story events - we needed to add two additional stages to Mayu's portrait, which we also posted. We can now predefine certain portrait stages in our internal level editor and they will then be dynamically assembled to avoid the need to have a separate image for each and every combination of clothing, accessories and facial expression. It also makes for nice portrait transitions

Speaking of Mayu, she got her cinema date background as well as a poll on which of the book cafe background sketches will be used, which will be the final background for her date.
Last but not least, Cucu has finished the design for the Wheel of Fortune/Wheel of Misfortune events that can occur throughout the dates and which I will shortly put in.
Paralelly, we ran a poll to determine the background story of our patron-designed girl with the working title "Polly". She'll be a video game character that somehow ends up in the real world. At the moment, we're excited to see whether she will end up being a teen, a young adult or a MILF.

And very last but not very least, after Patreon somehow caused a massive amount of patrons to get their credit card transactions rejected or even marked as fraud, we decided to go forward with another small interactive animation release we planned in order to further shorten the remaining wait for the Date Mode Demo and to make sure we don't lose too much time earning money otherwise. Our patrons already picked which character and artwork they want to see and we already decided on a good array of little extras, so expect something soon
That's it for now, there's a light at the end of the tunnel, so bare with us!

Have a GREAT sunday!

same to you

still happy every time i see one of your update posts, feels nice watching a project grow, and getting the insight into that, which you deem the most important developments in the past month.

 

[Peachaboo Zanzo]

That's great to hear, thank you
We do our best to be transparent in what we do.

---

We've got a little something for y'all:



Like with Mayu's animation test, this is not an actual game but rather a showcase for our art and animation to avoid a lack of actual output as we develop Date Mode.
We put in even more little extras and toys than last time and hope you enjoy it.

A last little note: Ignemis' voice is provisional and she will get her own proper voice acting when we get to the point of adding her to the actual game. I've also posted a little more info about it

As always, any feedback is very much appreciated and any good rating over on Newgrounds helps us be seen and get the support we need to develop Sexy Exile

See you very soon for the next monthly update!

Dev Diary #34: Progress Update August



Okay, today is a short one since august was a somewhat difficult or at least unusual month. As you might have heard, Patreon had some major problems with processing credit cards which resulted in a great drop of pledges for many creators, including us. At the same time, both of us had a lot of other work to do, which both helped and kinda held us a bit back on repairing the damage.
Thanks to a nasty bug in my animation tool I also spent way more time than I wanted on creating what was meant to be a quick side-release. However,

You must be registered to see the links

?

Well, enough with the excuses, here's what else we managed to do:

We had a lot of votes. The first one determined Ignemis for said Animation release. Then we had another two regarding "Polly", the girl our higher patron tiers are helping to create at the moment. We already knew that she will in some way come out of a video game, now we also know that she's at a milf-ish age and will have a nice hourglass-like body shape. So it won't be too long until we can finally make some new lewd stuff hopefully! ^_^

Cucu finished the last background for Mayu's Date Mode, specifically a book café which I think also turned out very beautiful.

The rest of our output was'nt as easy to present as I further expanded the features of our internal level editor that Cucu simultaneously used to construct the level. All dialogues with the exception of a few simple extra lines are now implemented and only need to be adjusted for playback pacing (adding speaking pauses and such). All events are created and the first layout for the dating board is all laid out. I added a portrait editor to dynamically create portrait states by combining layers and Cucu then added them to the dialogues (read more about it in this public post:

You must be registered to see the links

). We did something similar to make dynamic background changes during the date possible.

If I don't overlook anything, our editor now only needs to be able to assign sounds to dialogue lines in order to allow us all we need to finish the Date with Mayu. That and I need to straighten out a few bugs x'D...
That's why I already started to add matching functionality to the game itself. But more on that as we progress.

I know I say it a lot but it really feels like we're slowly but surely entering the home stretch with Date Mode. But you know, the hardest part about making a game really is actually finishing it and so I'll stick to the classic "when it's done" approach.
But don't feel too teased, please, we want it too

Oh, wasn't so short after all, eh?
Anyways, have a good one!

Dev Diary #37: Progress Update September



Half of 2018's second half has passed and the pressure rises as we still aim for a release of Date Mode before the end of the year. No promises can be made yet, but I think we'll pretty soon be ready for a beta version for qualifying patrons to get a feeling for balancing and to "buy" some time to polish UI, effects, and animations.
Cucu is feverishly working on the finishing touches for the level, while I keep throwing the last UI design tasks at her. I myself am busy finishing off the last features and putting all those graphics in.

As for last month, we were able to share some of the progress and take a few next steps with "Polly", the patron-designed girl. Already knowing she will be a "milfy", hourglass-bodied assistant character from an App or Game, she was decided to have a classic D-Cup. Can't go wrong with that, right? Following this, it was determined that the style of her visualization would only subtly show her digital nature with some light scan lines and a slightly holographic look. We posted an update on that along with thoughts on her further development and a sketch resembling all her traits so far.

As we're finishing up the last bits of actual content for Mayu's Date, Cucu showed and explained the different facial expressions she created for Mayu and the way the dynamic portraits are displayed and transition in and out in the game. She also adjusted the text speeds and pauses for all of Mayu's Dialogue after I added that feature to our dev editor. Lastly, the voice recordings for Mayu are now done and we already sorted and edited all the sound bits. A snippet of that was posted to our patron-stream.

It might not be actual progress but Cucu took some of her spare time to paint a special Anaela sticker showing her in some very juicy action as a small 'thank you' to our loyal patrons.

That's September. We're very much looking forward to releasing Date Mode and to go back to creating more actual lewd content ;D

See you around!

Dev Diary #39: Progress Update October


Hey folks,
it's update time! There were a few things we concentrated on this month. Let's start with the biggest thing: I rushed a bit to show our patrons a video of the intro to Mayu's Date. If you aren't a patron or haven't seen it yet, I've got good news:

You must be registered to see the links

:

Note that what you see is not completely final yet, but we're getting there and I think it gives a pretty good impression so far
Aside from that, we continued with the polls regarding our patron girl who goes by the name "Polly" for now. To be more precise, we had qualifying patrons pick their favorite outfit for her. I can give away that she'll rock kind of a secretary look which I'm sure will be awesome when Cucu finally gets to paint her full portrait.

Speaking of portraits, she did a repaint of Baby's to more strongly bring out her personality and maybe a little bit because we suddenly realized her pose was a little bit too similar to Mayu's xD
Then there was the Halloween special featuring Alvah I hope you all have seen! If not, you should scroll up a bit!
We also took a little consultation from our patrons on how to pick future X-Mode positions and compostions which was very enlightening, while Cucu sketch some new naughty material.

Lastly, we started to work on story and content for the next girl that will come to the game after Mayu is finished. You already know her, that's all I'm gonna say ;P

By the way, tomorrow we will start to internally test Mayu's Date. It's as good as completely playable for now, all that's missing are a few sounds and mainly a bunch of animations and effects. But first, we will roughly balance the whole thing and see if anything needs to be changed or adjusted. Hopefully we will be able put out another WIP version for our beta tester patrons very soon!

Stay tuned

I didn't get a chance to share last weeks progress update on here, so here we go!

You must be registered to see the links

Here we go again!
Okay so November. Lots of writing going on. We are working with two writers now to make sure we got the content ready when the rest of the game is. That means two girls' dates are now in the middle of being written. Can you guess which? Okay, actually you can because there are only two girls that are otherwise finished right now x) So yeah, it's Nikki the circus artist and Baby, the unicorn girl.
But let me first talk about some other interesting stuff that happened.
Not only did we get some additional manpower for writing, we now also have a "real", well seasoned game designer on our side to co-develop and balance the game for the best Sexy Exile possible(/ever ). Working together has been great so far and although that may result in yet some more reworks before the public release of Date Mode, a new WIP version for Beta Access patrons is my top priority right now and shouldn't be too long as I reserved some commission free time for the upcoming weeks

Besides supervising the writing, Cucu finally dived back in and created some new proper lewds! Hallelewdjah! It's obvious in the picture above that it is a fresh one for Nikki. Last months poll made clear you (or at least our patreons) would enjoy a little zoomed in action every now and then and since Nikki's XXX Scenes struck us as just a tad too similar, you can now take a look at her voluptuous butt, floating in mid-air as she performs her favorite stunt - on your dick.
As the matching background for the date, Cucu also created a beautiful circus tent interior.
Of course, we also made further progress with Polly, the patron girl. We determined what hairstyle she will wear, which actually wasn't that easy - we needed two rounds of polls to come to a proper conclusion from 7 possible haircuts. That also means her design is almost done now and Cucu can very soon start drawing some fabulous artworks. Let me tell you, I personally am very much looking forward to that. :3
See you soon for more juicy updates!

Zanzo

 

[Peachaboo Zanzo]

Happy Holidays everyone!

We thought you might enjoy something a little different, so Cucu prepared this somewhat more realistic painting of Mayu having some naughty fun

We want to thank you all again for the amazing support and especially the pacience. We will search for ways to dedicate more time to Sexy Exile as the last few months were rough for us financially which forced us to spend more time on commissions than we would have liked. With our team growing and the Date Mode Demo waiting to be finished, we are in the best possible position to make 2019 an amazing year.

Let‘s do this together <3 !!!

Cucu & Zanzo

Dev Diary #43: Progress Update December - February

Hey lovely people, long time no progress update...

We were pretty busy and a lot has happened since November. I already talked about it in a Patreon post last month: The biggest news is certainly that we have been joined by a partner to codevelop Sexy Exile and lend us know-how and manpower intechnical aspects and game design. Don't worry though, we made sure our vision won't be compromised, it just comes very handy and will allow us to release a 1.0.0 version featuring the first 4-5 girls way faster - as in this year - despite the mutual decision to redesign the core gameplay of Date Mode to be more "puzzly" and fun. The already finished story and dialogues can most likely still be used without considerable changes. A new internal prototype is already in the works and happens to be very promising so far. More infos on that hopefully soon.

Also I (Zanzo) stopped working on commissions (and hope I can survive long enough ;P) to speed up Sexy Exile's completion. At the same time, we are working with several writers to get the content for said girls ready - with great progress: Two girls are as good as finished, 3 more have passed 50% completion.
Besides that, here are some more hard facts on what has been done:

Mayu
- All her content has been finished a while ago, but we had that Christmas Special in an alternate art style you can see in the post above

Alvah
- She got her first sticker - we started with a naughty one right away
- Her first XXX scene is in the works and Cucu already posted the lineart for it

Baby
- She got not less than 10 facial expressions for her Date Mode Portrait
- We also threw in a (minimalistic) outfit for the date as the Player Character lends her his hoodie to try on which she ends up liking quite a lot

"Polly" (Patron Poll Girl)
- A poll decided that among a variety of face types, she will get the one with a birthmark near the corner of her left eye and the slightly "resting bitch face"-like expression
- After that, her portrait lineart was crafted by Cucu with "only" all the colors to be determined
- Started with the patrons picking a slightly tanned skin tone
- Patrons also decided on her hair to be multicolored in the form of a gradient with colors changing according to her mood

Nikki
- got a sexy Date outfit including leather-look trousers and a pretty skimpy top
- got a repaint of one of her stickers to better reflect her cheeky personality

Additional Backgrounds
- Lastly, Cucu produced lineart and the final artwork for the Players apartment

Phew.. Hard to keep this short, but I think I did better than usually
Really gotta get back to work now, though!

Hope you enjoyed the update,
see you again soon(er than this time hopefully)!

[Peachaboo Zanzo]

Hi sexy People, I'm back with another batch of news!

The last bigger update post was only for our patrons, so it might have been a while – sorry!
We're still really busy, so I will try to keep it reasonably short. Unfortunately, we can't help but take a comission here and there to stay on top of our personal finances. Still, we pour as much time as we can into Sexy Exile in order to get it out there as soon as possible and hopefully make it pay off in one way or another. So first of all, a big thanks to our patient and loyal supporters, you are the absolute best and the only reason we can actually get things done! <3
Alright, I'll summarize the recent events and developments for you:

• First things first: While the final recoding by our partners itself has not exactly started yet, the immediate preliminary step is now in full progress. Most of the underlying data structures have been laid out. We're using a tool called Articy to create and manage all of Sexy Exile's data and we have built definitions, templates and data sets to make sure adding content will be as comfortable as possible in the future. Quite a bit of actual data has already been put in, for example Mayu with many of her „properties“ as in different outfits, facial expressions, voice snippets, unlockables and so on. I also introduced another new team member to the software and how to put in all the content that has been sitting around finished for a while now so that I can focus on things that still need to be done like a bunch of animations for example.
• Speaking of which, I've also got around to finish 10 of the animations in the new software with about 9 more left and I've started to post them on the patreon stream. That's 3 (and 1/3) of our 6 ½ girls (6 ½ because Anaela is more of an intro character with less animations – for now. ) Keep in mind there was/is/will be a lot of other stuff to do, so progress on the animations varies
• (non-animated) Artwork in general is now more than 90% done! That includes the backgrounds from an external artist I talked about before and a few reworks of early artworks for the game to get them to the same level. We don't want people to start out with the (very slightly, but still) worse artworks and then have to play a few hours to get to the proper ones
• We had several voice actresses create the voice snippets and moans we need for each of our girls. 6/7 girl's sounds are done and only need a bit of mixing to finish. Patrons will soon hear some of them.
• Out of 11 music pieces for the soundtrack, 9 are basically finished - Same thing about the mixing as with the voices. Gotta start posting some of them soon, too.

Okay. I can't think of much else to tell you at this point, but there is more stuff going on behind the scenes, rest assured! I think we'll keep this every-once-in-a-while rhythm for now, I'll still try to not let as much time pass until the next public post ;D

Hey i really like your game so far.
The X-mode is really fun. I like how you can aim for different strategies to get a higher score.
Will you be able to restart in the final game like in the demo or will it be one try for x amount of energy or something like that?
I skipped a little bit through the posts it seems some pics got removed is there a reason for that?
I am curious what is the maximum score you can achieve in the X-mode demo?
My best score is 199.440. Can you reach 200.000?

Do you have a discordchannel for the game or do you plan to have one once it goes live?

 

[theChaser]

Re: Sexy Exile
It's gonna be a browser game but we will release it on it's own site, no platforms like nutaku involved whatsoever. We plan on using online functionalities for highscores and such later on.

Well i guess Nutakus offer was to good to ignore in the end

 

[chrisesus]

I'm sad that the animations and even first demo are gone from Newgrounds. Hopefully the actual game turns out to be good since I am waiting to play the beta.

 

[theChaser]

The Beta is already out but its a mobile game.
I was really disappointed and quit after 1 day.
I hope there will be a standalone Browserversion.
