From the Wreckage: August 12, 2016

Hello again!

As you may have guessed, Momcest Trainer's development has been essentially dead for the past few months.  I no longer had the time necessary to devote to it, and as anyone else who has tried to collaborate online knows, it can be difficult to maintain a team of unpaid volunteers.  I sincerely apologize for the lack of communication, but I want you all to know that your interest continues to mean a lot to me.

I've begun working on Momcest Trainer again over the past week or so, but there's still much to be done.  The UI has been updated in an effort to move away from reusing Akabur's assets (where possible).  I should finish implementing some light gameplay elements very soon, which will help define the game's structure/progression.  In general, I'd like to focus on breadth for the time being, which is a requirement before the mom's transformation can be properly conveyed--for example, the gradual changing of her wardrobe and vocabulary is basically implemented but requires a framework of the game to function.  I'm also hoping it will help give any future artists more direction.

Speaking of which, I am interested in collaborating with both artists and writers--a necessity if the game's development is to ramp back up.  Several talented artists have contacted me since the last blogpost, but I have not yet gone forward with any of them, primarily because it may still be too early to bring an artist on board.  However, if you would like to work together when the time comes, please send me an email at tyroflux@gmail.com with an example or two of some of your previous work.  I know it's not ideal, but I can't offer any pay.  If (and that's "if", not "when") a Patreon is established sometime down the line, as some people have requested, you would of course be entitled to a retroactive commission.

Those interested in writing should have more to do in the immediate future.  If  you have experience or want to try your hand at writing some smut, you can view some of our work-in-progress content and ideas here, most notably this list of anticipated sex scenes.  Since our tech demo was released, I've come to the conclusion that scenes do not have to be long to be erotic, and more choices do not necessarily correlate with quality.  Please feel free to email me at tyroflux@gmail.com with any questions or with whole scenes if you do not want to bother with requesting write access to the Git repository.

Finally, for anyone else who would still like to help out, it would speed things up considerably (once things get rolling) to have assistance formatting the script or assigning facial expressions for the mom.  This can be tedious work, but it is also important and will absolutely be appreciated.  If you think you might be willing to spare some time in the future, shoot me an email at tyroflux@gmail.com and I'll see if anyone can help as needed.

Thank you, everyone, for reading, and thank you for your ongoing support.  I promise to do my best to ensure Momcest Trainer lives up to your expectations.
