Serious Ftr Bugfix
Posted 5 years agoMASSIVE PROPS TO 
imaginaryz for hunting down and fixing some very very major bugs within the Ftr source code. The games online should now lag FAR less- we've gone through and updated all the FTR games currently online on FA.
This means that, for numerous people that absolutely couldn't play with Regena due to the game lagging to unplayable levels, she SHOULD be actually playable. This also means that I don't have to limit myself as hard when making new characters as I previously thought.
Seriously, go give that Z a hug. Go sit on that couch dragon. Give him the LOVE, he deserves it!

4/21/2020 Helixftr Update (Minor)
Posted 5 years agoI uploaded a new version of Regena that *should* help deal with lag- you can find her as a separate character, RegenaEZ. The full tour meter was removed as I suspect it was a huge part of the lag problem. Also, mash segments have been reduced in difficulty to just one press per segment. Again, this is a separate character file- the original one still exists as well, for offline download or if it just worked for you online in the first place.
Helixftr Tech Support Journal
Posted 5 years agoHey y'all, so there have been a looooot of issues regarding Helixftr and Regena, mostly as I expected- but not in the way I expected. The primary issue seems to be the mashing segments not working for people, a ton of lag (I can't do anything about this one), and maybe input delays/errors.
For lag, I recommend downloading the offline player and trying to run it locally using the flash player provided in the .zip. Reducing lag should in theory also make the mashing segments work- however, this journal is here to help me with the headache that is figuring out how to approach these things in the future so that content is enjoyable by basically everyone.
I'm already in the works for making a more accessible version of Regena where you'll just have to hold buttons instead of mashing them.
IF YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLES WITH HELIXFTR, PLEASE LEAVE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:
-Operating System
-Say if you're expereincing problems Offline or Online
-If Online, please say which browser you're using.
-If you are using Flash Player or something else (Puffin or whatnot)
-An actual description of the problem
So we can figure out if the issue is hardware or software.

Going to have to push Regena back a day or two
Posted 5 years agoAs much as I wanted to get her out today, more and more finishing touches need to be added. So, Expect her out either tomorrow or the day after- hopefully Wednesday by the latest. I'm going to work at her hard tonight and see how much I can finish up.
Until then, how's about a list of all the fun things Regena can do:
-Pin you under her chest
-Pin you under her butt
-Pin you under her foot
-Eat you after pinning you under her foot, using a grab and after you struggle, or instantly if your health is low enough
-Taunt you in numerous different ways
-Fight to keep you down
-Fight to keep you in
-Responds to you different depending on how much you've fought her (she's gentle if you don't attack, mean while you fight, but respectful if you show her you mean business!)

Regena is almost dooone
Posted 5 years agoSo I've got a lot of finishing touches to add on, but I *should* be on schedule to release her in like, two days.
If not the 12th, than the 13th.
Weh. x3x

Monthly Report Feb1st
Posted 5 years agohttps://www.patreon.com/posts/33647251
So, I'm going to start posting monthly reports of my progress, where I'm at, what I wanna move towards, etc, on my patreon since I have never really given it much use. I'll link to them here and on my twitter in the future. Unfortunately I accidentally made this one patrons only to look at, so here's a copy paste:
February Report
Alright so, I haven't really ever made any posts on here, instead using my Discord for most of my news. I noticed on one of the exit surveys that folks weren't happy about how I've communicated progress- so I'm going to try something new, and post about what's going on at the start of every month.
LAST MONTH: JANUARY
January was kind of my kickstart into like... trying to do this on a professional level. I took my first commission, and it kind of ate into all of my animating-focus budget, if that makes sense. I'm going to try my best to figure out how to make sure to focus on my other projects from time to time.
That being said, I'm very happy with how Sheila came out. For my first real commission of this caliber, I feel like I did a pretty good job- I'd always worried that when push would come to shove I wouldn't be able to deliver as I'd like to. However, for the amount of effort I put in, I'm not sure if I charged enough. I'll have to think on that when I get around to it again later this month.
THIS MONTH: FEBRUARY
So you might notice that Sheila isn't out on FA yet- I need to do a little more work on her for Fid, and then I'm going to release her once she's up to where we want her to be. That should be in the next couple of days, or just today if I can get my lazy butt to get to work.
I'm also getting tired of working with barb- the character, not the engine. There are a lot of ideas I have that just won't work with barb on account of her being a total stick figure. As such, I'm going to try to actually make the next iteration, a more proper kinda Panftr 2 sort of deal. And I know what you're thinking, "But Al you tried that twice and you gave up on both because it was too much work." And you'd be right, of course- while I'm proud of my accomplishments with I8U and I8U2, both introduced issues I hadn't thought of when I was designing them. I8U focused too heavily on trying to make a vore game an actual game (which is always a mistake), and I8U2 made me realize that trying to make it TOO consensual and cuddly limits interactions and reasonable character choices too much.
As such, my next project is going to be much less character-focused, and will probably feel more like the classic barbftr or panftr- just with a character that can actually interact in some manner with enemies.
And yes, it'll probably be Helix again, but redrawn because I need to simplify a couple things about him. I plan to use the lineless art style again, because it also tends to make my life a lot easier.
As for my current barbftr projects, such as Hiera, Shol, and Anthro Komodo; I want to keep working on Hiera and Shol, and I might just try to add a few things to AK to get them to a "finished' point. I don't really know what to do with them, to be honest- but I feel as though I should try go polish up what I've got so I can get more things released.
WHAT'S COMING UP:
-Sheila for Barbftr Full Release (Soon)
-Engine for HelixFtr (Working title, by end of month)
-Another Commissioned Character maybe (By end of month)
-Misc additions for Existing Barbftr Characters (Hiera, Shol, Anthro Komodo)
Yeesh this ended up being way wordier than I anticipated. But, I hope that the communication is appreciated. You can get a hold of me here, if you like- although pinging me in the discord server is definitely the better idea.

Commission CLOSED?? For January
Posted 6 years agoEDIT: SOMEONE HAS BEEN PICKED. THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING- I'LL SEE ABOUT DOING MORE NEXT MONTH!
Woah wait WHAT
Yes you read that title right. This month is probably going to be rough but I'll smooth things out as I go-
BARBFTR COMMISSION (just one!)
How's it gunna work?
Each month, I intend to take just one barbftr commission, considering how long it usually takes to actually make things. DM me your ideas for a character (original or otherwise) and I will accept the one that I feel like I can do the best with. This is due to the fact that flash can be somewhat finnicky, and some characters are *far* harder to make than others.
FIRST OF ALL:
Be prepared to spend anywhere between 160-240$ or so. Barbftr characters can be surprisingly complex, so pricing will be somewhere around as follows:
Drawing the Character: ~60-80$ Depending on character complexity.
Basic character animations: 10$ (walk cycles, idles, hit animations, etc)
Swallow Animations: 30$ a piece
Stomach phase w/ basic wiggles: 15$
Stomach phase w/wiggles/basicRub: 20$
Stomach phase w/everything: 25$
Release animation: 15$/simple, 20$/complex
Other: To be priced upon inspection
How much or how little a character will cost will depend on how much is wanted done.
WHAT I WILL NOT DO: Hard Vore, Unbirth, Cock Vore, Sex, most non-vore stuff honestly
What will make my life harder: Anthros, Same Size Vore, Mammals, Lots of small details
PAYMENT: I will require an initial down payment after drawing and setting up the character- only then will I work on the animations any further. The rest of the payment is required when the character is considered 'finished'.
The plan is to release these characters publicly- but if you would prefer to keep them personal, please just let me know.
I will leave this open overnight, and pick someone tomorrow! Please DM me your character idea, and include a proper reference along with what all you want to see them do. Professionalism can go a long way! I would recommend having Discord as well, as it'll be the easiest way to get a hold of me and get updates on how progress is going.

Posted 6 years agoI have no idea why it's doing that, or what would cause that. If you tried to load in charizard and it crashed flash (?), please say what browser and what OS you were using here.
I don't know if it's going to help at all, but flash crashing is a new one to me.

Life Update
Posted 6 years agoI quit my job at Amazon, and will soon be moving out of Illinois to be with family.
Life is looking brighter, though. Kind of. I'm more optimistic than I was.
But mostly, just glad to be out of the warehouse. Don't work for Amazon, lads.
