A Journal for the Journal Impaired (aka. OMG he hasn't written a Journal in over 6 months, etc.)

Hello everyone.  Lets keep this journal short and concise as whenever I write a journal people say I'm just inciting drama or complaining.  In fact lets make a Q & A, I know you guys love that shit.

Q. Is the Babysitting Cream Game done?

A.  no, the game isn't done, it's far from it, It's missing a lot of art which I occasionally post previews in my submissions here on Inkbunny.

Q. Are you and Avian still working on the game?

A.  yes, we are, both in fact, Avian has managed to get some time, and a few weeks prior to this journal (dated 9/29/2014) we had a meeting to discuss the future of the game.

Q. Have you been working on the game in the past year?

A. the short answer is no, the long answer is...

 earlier this year the University where I was employed laid off a lot of their non-permanent employees to save up in costs.  I was among those who where laid off, so I spent the grand majority of this time without a full time job and I've survived doing private IT jobs as a private contractor  and the occasional commission here and there to pay the bills and living expenses.  On Avian's side he's been busy with College and has only been able to work on his personal stuff and has had very little time to synch with me to work on the Babysitting Cream Project.

Q.  Will you be able to continue working on the game?

A.  yes, we're trying to get our gears in motion to continue working on the game.

Q.  When is the next update for the game?

A.  The answer all smart individuals know is "When it's ready to be released" but in case you're stupid, or mentally impaired the answer is "When we have a substantial update for the game ready to be released, we'll post it, until then, the most recent version will be the featured submission here on my Inkbunny.  I don't have other sites where I post the game, I occasionally check my other accounts but my FA and DA are pretty much just Old "abandoned" Galleries.  All my activity revolves here on Inkbunny and to those who know me through Skype to ask me about all the pics and stuff I work on the sidelines but don't post on Inkbunny either because they're eternally WIP pics or pics I just don't feel like posting here because people are stupid and will only get confused with them.

Q.  Where is the most recent/complete version of the game?

A.  If you haven't smartened up and found it I'm not going to waste my time telling you where it is, I mean I've said a bunch of times it's the FEATURED SUBMISSION ON INKBUNNY (read the above entry) and people still don't get it.

Q.  Will there be an update before this year is over, or next year or the year after that?

A.  I dunno, It depends on how much substantial content we can add to the game to make it into a worthwhile update.

Q.  What is the current status of completion of the game percentage wise?

A.  I used to believe the game was about 80 - 90% complete, 10% being the missing artworks, and an additional area/ending (the whole car was gonna be involved in it)  nowadays it's not so much I'll explain in the next entry.

Q.  What is the status of the game, content wise?

A.  Here's the big one.  The Cream Babysitting Game has evolved, and soon it might not even be a flash anymore.  The biggest complaint of some people was the fragility of the save system, which is really hard (at least that's what Avian told me) to work into flash and have it bug free.

     To give the game a proper save system we had to make it in a more robust platform, Avian began to experiment with the Game Maker platform, and even managed to remake the game, with some visual changes in Game Maker.  With a fully functional and stable Save system and everything.

     Game Maker presented it's own set of challenges, which Avian has been able to sort out little by little, and it even presented us with something new.

    Originally I envisioned a very different kind of Game, but due to the limitations of flash, we had to change the mechanics for them to work better in flash.  With Game Maker, Avian is fully capable of crafting a game more akin to what Babysitting Cream was supposed to be in the first place, one full week of Babysitting Cream.  (aka. Instead of an Energy System, the game would work with a Clock system instead)

     However making the game as it was originally meant to be, presented a brand new challenge and a whole new set of possibilities.  For more than a year, faithful considerate fans have told Avian what they think works and what doesn't work for the game, Lets plays (if you can believe that) and walkthroughs have been done, and Avian and I have secretly been looking at what people like and dislike about the game (and no the developing time doesn't go into that...smart asses).  A lot of players complained the game became too repetitive, or that some stats served no purpose, or that some things where irrelevant or unnecessary.   We managed to compile all that into the "Future of BSC meeting we had not long ago" Avian and I settled in what would be the future of the game, and what it would mean, the concept of changing the game to resemble what I originally envisioned this game to be.

Q.  what does all that mean for Babysitting Cream?

A.  Simple, it means that the next update will look and feel like a fresh new game, all the good stuff and interactions will still be there, but the game will very likely evolve meaning new challenges and mechanics all brought in by over a year of "open playtesting".  Avian and I where both against making an insignificant update for each batch of art that was completed because updating would not bring anything new for the game.  It would just be the same glitchy game with broken mechanics and more art.

that pretty much sums up what I wanted to say about Babysitting Cream, now lets do some Q & A on my other activities

Q.  Are you going to continue making Streams?

A.  short answer is yes.  long answer is, I want to make more streams, but I'm having problems with properly establishing something like I used to do before (weekly streaming)

Q  Are you doing commissions?

A.  short answer is yes, tough for the past month or so my commission speed has bogged down, commissions that usually take me 1 - 2 days can bog down to a week and up to a month.

Q.  Are you working on other project other than BSC?

A.  yes, I have a wonderful little fancomic I do on tumblr which I try to update monthly.  (I also post answers to people and post stuff I don't, or can't post here on Inkbunny)

Q.  Are you going to post the completed versions of those censored pics?

A. yes, when I feel like finishing them...( > _ >)

Q.  Are there any pics you haven't posted here on Inkbunny?

A. yes, my contacts on Skype (the ones that don't usually pester me with the retarded "sup?" or "how are you?" to simply ask "so when's the next game coming?" ) will know that I have a TON of art that I haven't posted here on Inkbunny, I'll post it eventually I guess.

I mean if I suddenly post something like this
http://i.imgur.com/Ypctm2C.jpg

stupid people might go "omg is that from BSC?! when is the next update going to be?, etc. etc."

now for the personal questions

Q.  Do you have a job?

A.  the short direct answer is, no.  The Full answer is, I don't have a full time job, which just makes my personal life more complicated as I have to constantly move around doing odd jobs to make ends meet pay bills and groceries.  Which gives me very little time to be online and hang out with people on Skype or online forums or whatnot.

Q.  Do still live in Bermuda?

A.  No, I moved somewhere else since January of this year.

Q.  Will we ever see you in a convention?

A.  maybe, heck you might have seen me at a convention near you, perhaps the guy selling you buttons or keychains of you favorite anime or cartoon is the infamous Aval0nX, or maybe he's the dude in the corner drawing on a sketchbook, or maybe he's one of those cosplayers.  Who knows, Avian and I are crafty in how we've infiltrated the convention world.  Who knows maybe we're in that one convention you're in, but you can't openly identify us.  You'll never see an arrow pointing at me saying, "this is the infamous Aval0nX" tough some intuitive fans HAVE identified me (I remember when I went to Las Vegas for a friend's wedding, some people managed to identify me on the street because they had seen me in a stream and identified me for my huge shades.  The noticed I had a sketchbook on me and a Sonic keychain and approached saying either "I think I know who you are?" or "Aval0n?" to which I replied "There is no such thing...this isn't the person you are looking for" hehehehe.

so yeah, I think that sums up a lot of the stuff I had to say or share or whatever,  am I going to make monthly updates to my journals?, no.  Why?, because I don't feel like it.  If you're tired of waiting for the game and feel disappointed or let down, well it's your problem, go over to your pillow and scream, cry or whatever.  I'm no longer going to cater to self entitled bastards who feel entitled that I have to give them weekly updates to everything.  "what about the people that donated money to the game", simple, go back to when I brought the whole donations issue, I did say donations motivated me to work on my art and or the game, and will you look at that, I'm still working on it, I'm still doing art, and I stopped receiving them a long time ago.  Avian and I are eternally grateful to everyone who donated, and that's why their second/surnames are in the game credits and will continue to be, always. OH LOOK and I haven't even had the gall to do those kickstarter thingamabobs or Partyons (Patreons) every "mainstream" artist is doing nowadays.

welp that's it for now I guess, for those who check the page daily, I tell you, don't be stupid, whenever I post something new, if you're watching the page (following it, by clicking the +watch button over at the top of my Account Main Page)  you'll be notified whenever I post something new.  Ooooo Maaaagiccc.

Can i add a question?
Do you plan on adding more gay stuff now that everything is changing in the game or are you still avoiding gay stuff cause of the OMG U sold 0ut, type of comments on the gay tails stuff?
Aval0nX
9 years, 7 months ago
A. Is the game called meet and fuck tails/knuckles/shadow/silver or any other male sonic character?, no right?, we'll since It's not called that, and It's called Babysitting Cream, the game and It's content will be Babysitting Cream (we added the other characters to give breathing room, and give it a little variety, but not to shift the focus of the game to NOT Babysitting Cream.
beka777

Well i was mostly just hoping the knuckles part would actually have a sex scene and not the lol no gay stuff cause of furries freaking out text but i didn't wanna sound like a douche just trying to get stuff changed specifically for me. If my question sounded like so "now that the game is changing are we finally gonna get gay the mobian fucking simulator this game should've been in the first place?" Then sorry that's not at all what i was saying i was just asking if more optional gay scenes would be added or if the already existing ones would be expanded upon. I don't think the game should be completely changed either but you did seem to attack me kinda fiercely for a simple small honestly not trolling question, i don't know maybe it's just the fact you can't actually tell tone in text format.
Keanus

Well the knuckles part does in fact have a sex scene, you just need high enough of a certain stat.

If any sort of support will assist in hustling things along, I expect that your fans will not exactly hesitate to throw donations in your direction to free up more of your and Avian's time for the project.

I don't normally comment but... damn that's a mouthful.
Good luck.
Love the game.
Looking forward to the next update.
Willing to wait patiently just to make a point. Have fun.

With the switch to game maker, is there going to be any major changes to the games presentation or how you go about doing things in the game? Mostly just curious if the game will keep it's sort of dating sim game like style of appearance and functionality. Either way I look forward to playing it when it comes out
Aval0nX
9 years, 7 months ago
the game will continue to be a pseudo-dating sim like It's always been, though there will be different mechanics than the ones in flash.
raalai

Thanks for the update. In part, I'm actually glad you don't update the game for minor things, because that makes each update that much more interesting. It's always exciting to see an update from you, and I hope you can get in a position where you are comfortable putting more time into the game soon. I wish I could offer more support than words, but I'm not in a position to do anything else either. I am curious though, will the switch to Game Maker mean the game will be Windows only, or will Avian be able to port it to Mac and Linux as well?

Best of luck to you in what ever you do!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhh THANKS man !

I must be honest I'm a Bugs fun so much I prefer him over Sonic. If u could find the time or the occasion to picture him giving Rouge the Bat a nice balls deep pussy creampie, that would be the perfect one.

Yeah, I love uncle-niece incest with all my heart but for some reasons Rouge has a malice I just cant get enough.

Again, you're the best !

Appreciate the update.

In regards to the "Clock system" its not going to be "real time" is it?

Constantly being concerned about how much time you're using reading things and looking at pictures seems like it would be really irritating in a game like this which I assume you realize.  So I'm guessing its more like Choose Activity A: which takes 30 minutes off the clock or Activity B: Which takes 2 hours; but the actual amount of time you take to make a choice or to navigate through the dialogue won't matter.   Am I right?
Aval0nX
9 years, 7 months ago
actions and activities will make the clock advance, (real time would just be ludicrous)
imploder
9 years, 7 months ago
Thanks for replying.  I figured as much, it was just so ludicrous that I wanted to make sure.   Keep up the good work, I look forward to playing it "When it's ready to be released".

No, make it read your CPU time and if you haven't been on in a week, then Vanilla comes home to a starving Cream.

Thank you for the update good sir.  I figured those pictures you teased us with were for the finished game and I'm looking forward to it.  With stuff like Smash Bros 4 coming out next week I think we can all afford to be quite patient in the time being.

I'm very happy with this journal.  To know that Babysitting Cream is evolving into the game you originally envisioned is fantastic and I'm excited to see and play the new version when it is released in the future.  Keep being awesome, Aval0nX! <3

I think it's cool that you're still working on the game, but i hope that first and foremost you are able to get your employment situation under control.  I definitely know from experience what losing a good job at a bad time is like.

Best of luck, glad to hear you are still managing to enjoy your artwork enough to continue!
BlastoTheHanar

For the clock in the new game, would that be an active time clock, or more of actions and events using up units of time? (Or whatever else. Might be a silly question, but just want to know what to expect when the time comes.)

I'm looking forward to the clear mechanic you've wanted to have for a long time of events be accessible or different depending on time of day, and thus being more dynamic. I think not being held back by all the ridiculous instability of flash is a really good thing for the two of you on this. I honestly don't see how any website is still able to function with flash elements becoming the basis of almost everything nowadays. Even still, I know I've seen just about any feature be possible in flash, but I have no ideal how those guys manage to do most of that stuff unless they're making these games in other scripts and converting it to the flash, which I do think some people do.


P.S. I'm typing this without reading through the comments first because... well they tend to flood in and such and are hard to read through with my OCD unless I do so in order.

P.P.S. You don't know what a short and concise journal is, sucker. ;P But hey, whatever it takes to say what you were going to say. Better than a "Sup. The game's not done. Kinda working on it. Peace out."
BlastoTheHanar
9 years, 7 months ago
Yeah, I knew I'd regret asking that question without reading through the comments... Though in my defense, sometimes I'm such slow writer that that question may have not been posted when I started typing... But probably it was already up when I started. ('''o~o''')

But yeah, I'm still watch my actual notices to see when new versions get posted. You know, like a sane person... Which is odd, since pretty much by no standards would anyone call me sane... How sad is that for all these goobers with no common sense nowadays?


Heh, just thought of something randomly, with the time mechanic, what role will showering take? "Ew, Mr. Sonic, you smell from laying around by yourself and not showering for six days, I don't want to be near you anymore."

zaiaku
9 years, 6 months ago
Hmm...Will there be Cream/Vanilla exclusive content? What I mean is, Vanilla obviously has some hidden game plan that pretty much is meant to loosen everyone's, Sonic's in particular, inhibitions especially to adult encounters with those once thought to be to young (Ami and Sally implied to have already done so to Cream, so are there any pics of Vanilla training Cream by herself before involving live male genitalia?

About the only thing I don't like in the current version is the bit with Tails. Not because it's M/m, but because it's non-consensual. Consent is important to me.

Re: Game Maker: I just installed a trial version, but I notice that the license specifies that it won't be used to create applications that are "pornographic".  I think that might cause you trouble if GM Studios noticed.
Oblivionhold

Glad to see you're still alive, Aval0n! All I wanted to was to know that, so everything else you posted was just gravy. Hope that you can get a full time job back, or at least figure out some other way to continually pay the bills. Take your time, man. Our porn can wait.

I had envisioned the new game similar to how The Furry Game Alpha is done.
TwistMonkey
9 years, 6 months ago
Question :D So as the game is changing from flash to game maker, will we be seeing little animations at some parts instead of pics? That would be pretty cool if done right.
AnotherSonicSmutArtist
9 years, 6 months ago
Well it's good to hear from you again Aval0nX.  Sorry to hear about the job situation, I can relate to that.  Hope you can find one in your area.  

If you do go to any fur conventions or the like, I would suggest using an alternate name/handle on your badge so people dont come up asking you the same questions about BSC.  It could also lessen the chance that people go "Oh yeah he's drawing BSC"  Just as a thought.  

Again good to hear from you again, keep up your art work and best of luck on the job search.  As well as with the game.

Ah, GameMaker! I was able to do that one tutorial with the clown bouncing around and you had to click him, but after that some of the tutorials were very vague, and I could not understand even the basic concepts. I've thought about getting back into GameMaker, then I heard about Unity, which has been gaining a lot of popularity as I understand.

OminousBlade
9 years, 6 months ago
I have a question. Since the game will work on a clock/time based system now instead of Energy, would there be anything to manipulate the time in it to have more opprotunities to raise your relationship with Cream? Like say being able to find extremely well hidden Chaos emeralds to either slow down or reverse time a a bit for each emerald which each one used makes it that emerald permanently unusable for the rest of the game.
Killer007X

Chaos emeralds to control time? What about the time stones?(You know from Sonic CD) Wouldnt they work better.

Just gotta tell you Aval0n, I love you and everything you do! (No homo. [Or all the homo, if you're into that! XD ])
My crappy jokes aside, keep up the awesome work you've been doing! And if you ever feel like you need a break, THEN TAKE A GODDAMN BREAK AND IGNORE THE TROLLS AND IMBICILES!
Seriously though, you're awesome, and you deserve some kind of award or something for doing all your awesome stuff, AND putting up with everything. =3

Will it be available on Linux? AFAIK Game Maker supports it.
(And thanks Aval0nX for a great game ;)

i imagine when you started your artwork you enjoyed it and the fact that so many others enjoyed it also was a buzz,
do you still feel the same way or has using your skill to make ends meet and the constant pestering for a bsc update ruined it for you slightly? i think your amazing by the way

sorry i missed when this was posted. been a nightmare at my end and can't keep up with all my regular haunts.

just one question.
can you quantify the amount of work to be done. in pictures i mean.
have you got like 10 more images to go or is it more like 30.
just a rough guess would be fine.
i kinda A, want to know how many more pics i can expect to see of cream and sonic and stuff before the next game comes out.
and B, kinda want some sort of countdown before the game is ready.
i think quantifying it with work elements is better than giving me a date because that can change a lot.
also, do you have any plans to post non-BSC art in your gallery in the meantime? and if so what kinds of ideas have you got in that direction?

P.S. I wish i could like comments on here like you can on facebook cause i wanna like all the posts that say your life comes first.

You know i like your BSC game very much as it is right now with the energy system. And i do love how you draw Cream, i think you draw her perfect, she looks just.....too good to have a word for it. Keep up the good work:) Im looking forward for the update.
I do got some questions that you can answer whenever you feel like it. How long time did it take you to make the game to its last update?
And is it very difficult to make a game, or is it just a walk in the park?
Im just curious, no need to answer if you dont want to.
