Good morning everyone!  

I’ve finally cut back on my hours at my job, so I’m going to be taking these next few weeks to crank out as much progress as I can on my game.  What you can expect to see this week:

1) Forest Kin Study:  Gender

     I will be exploring the forest kin a little bit further and revealing how male and females differ from each other. 

2) Forest Kin Study:  Age

     I will also be exploring how the Forest Kin change with age.  They age much slower than humans do.  Every five years for a Forest Kin is about a year to a human.  I will also use this to explore different kinds of neck harnesses that the women might need to wear as their antlers grow larger and larger.  

3) Character Sheet for “The Swamp’s Belly”

     I’ve referenced him before, but I think it’s about time that everyone can see his face.  He will be one of the main antagonists in the first chapter of ACFG.  He will not pose a direct threat (yet) to Fawnilly, but he will do everything in his power to halt her forward progress.  

4)  Game Design Document

     I also have a GDD if anyone wants to read it.  It’s filled with really crappy artwork, but the level design is pretty solid.  The document does have all of the solutions to the puzzles though so if you want to avoid spoilers I wouldn’t read the document.  Or at least just skip over that section.   

     Above, I also have a few gifs I made of Fawnilly’s original design.  These won’t be used for the final game because they aren’t very good animations, but I think this is a decent first attempt.  Unfortunately, the site I used to make the gifs weren’t very good and cut a lot of the frames, which is why they seem so jittery.  They’re also VERY slow, they will be much quicker in game.

Meet the Cast! Part 1 of 4 

I’m not really sure if the cast line up should come before or after the plot synopsis, but I guess I already uploaded the picture so this will come first!   

“My beautiful child, my sweet, my own blood and bones.  I can hear them cheering for you already...the Queen who Walks.  The Queen who Dances.  The Queen who stood, for her people, and for herself,” (Mother to Fawn)

Fawnilly

     The main protagonist throughout most of A Cage for Girls.  They’re shy and quiet, though they often find themselves having so much to say.  In a society that values young girls for the size of their antlers, she’s beginning to crumble under the weight of it all.  From a young age, noble girls are expected to grow their horns out to cement their families’ royal status, wearing gorld plated cages around their necks to help them support their own delicate heads.  Fawnilly is expected to have the largest antlers of them all, even larger than their mother’s, which means they’ll soon take up her throne, chained to the surrounding trees unable to stand or lift their head due to the crushing weight of their own horns.

It is generally accepted that Fawnilly will become the next Queen, to the delight of their power hungry father.  They have other plans on their mind though.  They’re going to escape from their oppressive society, no matter the cost.

(This is Fawnilly’s original design, created almost two years ago.  There is a good chance that it will be revised in the coming weeks.)    

Stay tuned for more brief updates!
