Sorry for the long bit of silence, I've been working very diligently on the game since the last post, but I wanted to have a number of things to be able to show a preview of.

Above is a small demonstration video of some of the things I've been working on, mainly updating the platforming mechanics of the game, including some wall running mechanics and some more control to the bouncing from the inflations, such as the belly bounce shown here being able to have its trajectory partially controllable as well as the ability to change the direction of the bounces. This is mainly because I noted that the previous system makes platforming while inflated too similar to platforming while normal (at least, if the level is actually competently built). This then prompted me to add the wall running to the game, something useful that will get taken away when inflated (in most cases, anyway). Thus, I needed to subsequently tweak the bouncing of the breasts and belly so that they would be able to give about the same level of ease of traversing over obstacles as the wall running does, but in a different form. Hopefully, this will go and make the game work a lot better in terms of making the player adapt to the inflation when platforming instead of the inflation being a hindrance or just a slight mild inconvenience (I do want it to be something of a challenge, but not frustratingly so)

I've also been making a custom dialog system for my game, mainly as a foundation to support the overall story and world-building of the game ^^

I know that it's taking a long time to develop this game, but hopefully it wont be too long before I'm able to start building out larger swathes of the game and thus be able to get a playable build out sooner.
