Snippets V - Bulges of the Bulge Throne!
Technical zoom initiated! Indeed. It is a bulge. One left side you can see how bulge size was originally calculated on penis states for the pants, and on the right you can see how it is now calculated.In the other news, less bulging with mathemagicks, continuation to the modding debugging tools (like the position debugging in earlier snippets) is ability to quick preview and get act locations information for easier placement of new random acts OR NPC acts if one wishes to write a new character a...
New Tier images and two new Tiers
Awesome art of Priscilla by Onfe (our 2D artist) for Hunt and Snare Patreon tiers <3First row;1 - Iron Cohort (Non-game build patreon posts)2 - Silver Cohort (Minimum for game builds)3 - Gold CohortSecond row;4 - Emerald Cohort5 - Ruby Cohort (new, an extra support tier)6 - Diamond Cohort (new, an extra support tier)The last two tiers, Ruby Cohort and Diamond Cohort, are new, but like with every tier beyond Silver Cohort their function is just additional support or an easier way of making a sing...
Snippets IV - Meet the Lizard
Post cover image is just a lizard going to meet a lizard (also I realized I took other screenshots with different characters, harh! I switch characters constantly so it happens easily xD)In the next build you’ll meet the first major plot important character; Fleet-Admiral Horveek of the Dragonfire Fleet. He is a Skiirborn and second highest ranking member of the Dragonfire Fleet, one of the two main fleets on Skiir (other one being the Scraven Pirate Fleet). Skiirborns are the closest children...
You can now get Annual pledges on this Patreon.
There is a 16% discount (max for some reason) on Annual pledges and they've been enabled for our Patreon. But a fair warning that we don't publish a huge number of builds per year, so you'll probably save more money and still get 99% of the benefits by pledging monthly when new builds come out, but for supporting development it might be easier to pledge annually instead of monthly ^^Huge cheers to every past, present, and future patrons. Your support means the world for us and withou...
Snippets III - Debugger and Dehugger
Above is a single loop full act preview (with fake background scene xD)Also look at how pretty the underwater now looks <3There’s really no plans for underwater gameplay, but sometimes the camera accidentally gets under the waves and you got a weird buggy transparent square in the past but that’ll be fixed for the next build with properly pretty underwater :3For next stage of modding (won’t be in the next build, but the build after that) we’ll need to give some basic debugging tools for ...
Snippets II - Accessibility tweaks
There’s a lot of things Hunt and Snare needs to improve on the accessibility front, but one of the most barebones problem is the important information delivered by the item mouse over info ^^In here is an example of a mundane leg item:The information missing were the rarity as text, which for anyone with color blindness was basically information that didn’t even exist properly, and for anyone else who didn’t know the tiers, it was misleading or lacking. In here you can see a “Mundane” ...
Snippets I
Screenshots from upcoming Showroom atmosphere overhauls; Gone are the table and other props that were in the scene just so that animations can be played in place, there are some background noises now instead of complete silence, and some scenes have been touched a lot, and new ones added (though for clarity's sake we used to have indoor scenes at some point, but those weren't very good and I wanted to remake them).The Birch scene is largely unchanged visually because it was the most comp...
Happy Friendship Day!
In Finnish "Valentine's Day" is called as Ystävänpäivä and the direct translation is Friendship Day as it is a day of friends and friendship; So, Happy Friendship Day to everyone! <3
Gaze XXXVI: Thems the Plans!
Hello everyone!I wanted to make a small update on what we're currently working on. First and foremost I hope everyone's year has started better than the prior one, or if not, I hope your year becomes better than the one before! A massive thank you to everyone who've tried, given feedback, supported, and in general played Hunt and Snare. You all mean the world to us :3This year has largely started with bug fixing, polishing, and optimizing Hunt and Snare further and internally refacto...

Upcoming feature: Modding
The upcoming full release of r5.25 introduces first pass of modding; Custom character patterns and skins, and character mods ^^What this means in a nutshell is that people can create mods that allow players to download character packs with custom painted patterns, or players to paint their characters and use custom skins for the characters. Do note that creating a mod is a bit more involved process than just setting colors on a character in the editor!We’ve written a modding booklet that helps...

Patreon r5.25 Preview build 3 is now live!
Patreon post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/43263567New in r5.25 Preview build 3: Trading system and Market - A lot of the trader NPCs now trade items with you including Timathi, but ammo is still not used so while she sells some, you don’t need any yet! The small new market in Kirhaal has most of the important traders in it. Clothes - The first set has 11 unique cloth items (will be expanded of course!), and they each have several color variations. NPCs have some clothes, so not all are nude ...

Gaze XXXV - Vagina and Penis Snackies, 1500kcal/100g
New candies in progress!Well, all four vagina insets and the two new penis insets with wilder colors <3Here’s all in basic colors. From left to right in penis scale there’s Faelain and Davh penises which are currently in game, then is the Kizan penis that comes with the species, and a Smooth penis (toggleable, and selectable). On the vagina scale there’s the new insets for Davh, Faelain, Kizan, and Smooth. Smooth again is both toggleable and selectable ^^The basic idea of smooth versions i...
Gaze XXXIV - Trading Edition (Also Will Mess With Numerals Soon!)
The basic trade interface functionality is shown in the gif; You basically transfer items between inventory of the trader and your inventory to prepare a trade, and then money goes either way depending on if you’re selling or buying ^^The gif is a bit sped up because of the recorder I use, I’m not that twitchy!Lil rundown incase you haven’t seen earlier Gaze about the inventory concept;On the trader side it shows the trader’s opinion and mark up and mark down percentages. Basically the b...
Gaze XXXIII - Vaginae and Penes
Kizan vagina from “below” and “belowish” to show how it looks from both directions when used (untextured still, just the shape) ^^The species specific vagina and penis base meshes are now done, next up is sculpting detail and texturing!The first vagina is the “Smooth” -vagina, basically the default vagina. It’s likely we’re going to have an option for the player to change settings for what vagina and penises are used, default being species specific vagina and penis, and then opti...
Gaze XXXII - Bits and Bobs
Here’s a starter set of Kizan tails in “melon” (ish) -color. The base tail type is the soft spiky ones and then there’s spikeless versions as alternatives and a bit thinner version in the end. Generally the lizard tails are thick and meaty ^^In this image, you can see that the spikes basically have left behind a graphical glitch, especially visible in the fourth tail as it’s right next to the original tail it’s based on. Still need to figure out easy way to fix that (we don’t want ...
Gaze XXXI - Wizardly Lizardy!
Above is image of using same pattern as before (Haven’t had time to make other kinds except this type) but with different colors and customizations ^^Bronzy. Also, pants, so I can post this publicly x)Customization example; It’s actually not as massive as it seems, it’s just the camera effect, but a lot bigger muzzle, shorter back spikes, longer facial spikes :3Inward tapering back spikes, smaller facial spikes, more arcing muzzle line. No upper lip curve. Lower nose. Kinda bird like x)Thi...
Small details (much needed small details) :3
Cat blinks most often.Doggy blinks semi-often.Lizard blinks rarely.Intentionally pixelated, recorded small part of screen and upscaled x)More soon <3~Ruffle
GAZE XXX - Upon Thine Pants We Go!
Well, more like In Thine Pants We Go but sometimes we have to go Upon to go In especially when Upon sounds cooler than In! x)The preview screenshot one is called as “Cabin shirt”. I wonder why.This here is “Engineer’s Vest and Shirt”. I’m sure there’s no relation with Engineer Sterling.These are “Sailor pants”. No relation to any sailors especially. I just made most clothes thinking who’d wear them x)These are just light pants.Frilled pants!...breast strip... …?Leather pant...

Patreon digital taxing changes going live July 1st
Do note that Patreon is changing taxation (in US) on July 1st and sending information about it on June 1st. I don't know what it entails exactly, because Patreon's messaging to Creators is only 3 days better than to Patrons x)That said, they recommended identifying reward tiers properly based on what kind of benefits there is. This, in practice, means that for taxation purposes;- All tiers have "Patron messaging" which has no value per se.- Silver (or above) have approximately 10...
Gaze XXIX - Hey we’re one numeral away from the best numeral!
Heya!Above is a small preview of upcoming clothes. Just me testing the fitting of clothes to the character. The clothes aren’t actually equippable yet, as we’re first focusing on the trading system itself ^^There will be a few new traders (old ones will have something to trade too, like Kess and Timathi) in the final preview build; A piercing merchant, a thrift store trader, and a cloth merchant.(Sketch of how items are shown and marked for trading)Each trader will have their own trading inv...

Gaze XXVIII - All Ahead Full! All... heads.. Full?
The new build is...... ..... *drum roll* .... ... .... *drum roll* ... Complete and coming soon!What is in the new r5.25 preview build 2?Besides the obvious bug fixes, there's quite a hefty optimization pass done to the game and now the jiggly parts should be a lot smoother and there are a lot less "lag spikes" when quickly turning the camera or travelling around. Crew management is more in depth now, besides ability to finally give items to your crew, you can now also properly sent ...
