I realized that the bios on this blog and the SLARPG Twitter both said the game was still coming in 2018 and updated it to just say “coming when it’s done” since there’s pretty much no way the game will be finished in under six months. Your continued patience is appreciated!
At this point I’m not going to bother estimating a vague release window until the end is actually in sight for SLARPG. I’ve never worked on a project this large, and real life and mental health get in the way often, so my estimates are guaranteed to be off.
(For the record, I am personally trying to have the game done sometime in 2019. But I also initially said it would be done two years ago before the overall scope and level of polish doubled, so I don’t want to jinx it yet again)
for the record, due to RPG Maker’s value limit for variables, the kiss counter on SLARPG’s save menu goes up to 99,999,999 kisses
oh shit wait no that’s just the limit for how much you can add to a variable with one command. I’m actually not sure what the limit is because at 18 digits it just goes off the window

Two small SLARPG updates based on feedback I’ve received!
Number one: when full, the Star Power gauge now turns blue (with a cute rainbow border) to match the color Star Power skills’ costs are displayed in. I think this also makes a full gauge stand out better as opposed to the old pink color scheme
Number two: based on a suggestion I got on Twitter, your save file now keeps track of how many times Melody and Allison kiss. I wasn’t really using the custom stat displays on the save screen for anything so I mean, why not! This includes both every use of their kiss skills in battle, and also any time they kiss in a cutscene. People are already thinking about doing minimal kissing speedruns now
In the skills menu, shouldn't the Mana cost be coloured pink to match the mana bar and Star Power cost be coloured yellow to match the typical colour of the star? Seems like odd inconsistency to me.
The demo’s a bit out of date, but this is what it looks like in the current build of the game
Mana-based skills have their costs displayed in pink, but I can’t really display Star Power costs in yellow because menu items flash yellow when they’re selected and it would be unreadable
now every major area in Super Lesbian Animal RPG has a custom title card thing that pops up upon entering! it’s a small touch, but i think it adds a lot when exploring compared to the default RPG Maker map name popups
as you may be able to tell, I’ve also been touching up the Valley lately! for comparison here’s how it’s looking now vs. how it looked two years ago
another 8-bit platformer mockup based on Super Lesbian Animal RPG (again, just for fun), because of course I had to do one with Claire and Jodie to complete the party. this time it’s a cave level (featuring an single Dust Bunny)
the previous level mockup with Melody and Allison is here, and here’s the whole gang all together
this isn’t a real game i’m working on, but I love platformers to death and frequently fantasize about making one with my characters from Super Lesbian Animal RPG (mainly Allison). so for fun, here’s an NES-style platformer mockup featuring Melody and Allison, with bonus 16-bit versions of their lil sprites. this probably couldn’t run on actual NES hardware (that big background especially) but I MOSTLY stuck to the proper color restrictions
finally put together a bunch of the Super Lesbian Animal RPG fanart people have drawn over the last couple years and put it up on a bulletin board above my workspace! can’t wait to stare at this lovingly for hours on end
for the record i save each and every piece of slarpg fanart people make and this isn’t even half. i could easily fill up a second bulletin board with more art if i had one. thank you so so much to everyone who’s drawn fanart!!
it’s been a lot of fun sharing new SLARPG music these past weeks! i thought i would round things out with a track from Greenridge not seen in the demo - the music for the town library! sounds familiar…
this will be the last new tidbit from this soundtrack for a while. i’m getting ready to move, so i’ll be off for a few weeks. besides, we gotta save some of the music for the game’s release, right? ;p
one last new super lesbian animal rpg track for the time being! a slightly older version of this track was actually ready for the demo, but you can’t go to the part of greenridge that the library’s in in the demo, so everyone gets to hear it for the first time now!
i’m really excited because i’ve been dying to share this for ages! here is the music for The Uncanny Valley, a powerfully enchanted forest overflowing with mana and overrun with dangerous magical creatures.
not going to lie, much of this track is basically a love letter to Eriko Imura’s “Untamed Heart” from Klonoa. have i mentioned i love those games? i really, really love those games.
