Kincaid [2025.05]

v2025.05

“Must have been the wind.”
Kincaid‘s latest escapades take a surprising turn. As tensions flare between the two quarreling tribes, our frisky wolf finds herself deep in enemy territory… without backup.
Only this time running in and punching beasts and beefcakes in the face isn‘t the answer!
She’ll have to do something she’s not very good at. Something radical. She has to hide! >_>;
Slip past guards, scout out the terrain, and uncover vital clues that might just end the conflict and bring an end to the tribal tit-for-tat.

Bottom Up or Top Down?
Remember those big but gentle sabertoofers prowling around the jungle? Their weight deliciously pressing down? Their big chests vibrating as they purred? The sensation of their glutes and lats working under the touch of your paws? Their rough tongues tickling your nose? Whew… ^w~
Well, Kinny isn‘t the only one on the market for a piece of that pie!
With those big beefy boys and the bubble butt bolds mingling under the canopy, it was only a matter of time before they couldn’t keep it in their pants any longer – or jockstraps and thongs for that matter!
Kincaid couldn’t call herself an explorer and adventurer if she didn’t try to observe those fascinating rituals and take some notes – for science!

Deep beneath the planet surface, the Urslime soaks in a river of acid
Far below the jungle floor, past crumbling ruins and forgotten roots, Kincaid discovers a facility older than anything she‘s seen before. Left behind by the Gardeners, this place isn’t as abandoned as it seems.
A creature so ancient beyond comprehension has claimed this place as its domain and its influence oozes through every crack in the walls.
Does it have goo‘d intentions or will Kincaid find herself in an all too sticky situation?
Stay tuuuned!

Charming New Items
We‘re also testing our charms system with a couple of new little upgrades! You can discover three unique, equippable items hidden throughout the levels.
Developer’s Note: These upgrades are temporary. We‘re experimenting with placement and power while we continue shaping the rest of the game. Some charms may move. Some might vanish entirely. So enjoy them while they last! ^w~

“Hello, is this the Better Bot Bureau? I’m calling to file a complaint.”
Renee is done playing fair – not that she ever did. She has unleashed the first wave of electricity-powered pests to keep Kincaid from focusing on her mission. But is that even necessary? I mean, come on… You know what I mean.

Developer’s Note 2
To help people find some of the new content faster, the map now shows some obvious markers to guide you. This excludes items, secrets and other things that are either hidden or part of a quest we nudge the player towards.

Developer’s Note 3
We are fully aware that a lot of these story bits are still loose and “up in the air”. It’s surprisingly tough to figure out the right amount of context to give for a new piece of content, when the “connecting tissue” of the story is still missing. Y’all are here to play the game, not watch some cutscenes and read dialogue, that’s why we’re leaving that for later, just stubbing it out to give the necessary amount of context for the scene to make sense. But rest assured, it’ll all make sense in the end, the broad strokes and many of the finer details of the story and character arcs have already been fleshed out in our design docs!

Hi Space Adventurer!

After a long wait, here is our next Update for you!

There is a lot to say about what’s new in the build and what took us longer than usual to finish it… but all that has to wait because we want to push the build out NOW and not make you wait a day longer.
(Also it’s 3am so I’ll keep it short and sweet)

First things first: Since the build took so long, we want to make it available to all supporters who have recently pledged, but aren’t subscribed right now. We think you shouldn’t miss out and will make the update available to you!

There’s quite a few new things to check out, although not everything is polished yet.

– New intimacy animation: The Bat makes her appearance
– New smaller intimacy animation between a kobold and his goey friend
– New gallery options: Pinups! Starting with Kincaids favorite rival…
– New level mechanics to play around with
– New Area: The cisterns are where kobolds get their water from
– New preview: A demo version of how our space station will look like with friendly NPCs to greet you
– Lots of bug fixes
– Probably lots of new bugs that we havent found yet xD

Disclaimer: Many rooms are not decorated yet and the connections between them are temporary. Not all rooms are done, but instead of waiting any longer, we connected everything in a playable way.
So expect more and quicker updates in the future – we want to both keep you informed about what’s going on, as well as work with shorter update cycles. In an upcoming post I will talk more about what went on in 2024 – let’s just say for now, the year was very rough on both of us.

Right now we have a few pieces of content that are basically ready but couldn’t be tied into this update, but are waiting to be added in!

Can you help Tenby get the system up and running again? He has a big juicy reward ready for any helping hands!
This wonderful set of illustrations is brought to you by Reydam!

Kincaid Build 2023.12

Hi Space Adventurer!
WHEW! Just made it in the nick of time! We were super determined to pull this build together before January turns around. xD

We got a new team member!
Reydam joined us to make illustrations and this build features his first set of CGs.
He’s an amazing artist and you should check out his Twitter: https://twitter.com/Reydam9

Queen’s Champion Scene
Yup! He’s finally getting his turn! xD
Just walk up to him and strike up a conversation. Later on this scene will be tied to an optional boss fight, so enjoy it “for free” until then. ^w~

Kipi & Puaki Scene
This is the first scene done by Reydam! To watch it, talk to the smaller kobold on top of the hut with the white flowers and then follow them inside!
As with the champion, this scene will later be tied to a short quest related to the story.
For now, please enjoy Rey’s magnificent work! n_n

Fast Travel
This build also introduces the kobold-driven fast travel system: The Flapper Network!
From now on, on this planet, you’ll be finding flag posts with either a red or a pink flag. Pink means that it has been captured. If you ring the bell, it will activate and you can use it.
If it has a red flag, it needs to be captured first! Ringing the bell is going to start a fight. Protect the friendly kobold while waves of enemies spawn.
After the red flag has been replaced with a pink one, the outpost is yours and can be used!

Kincaid Build 2023.08

Goat Enemy
This little stinker is definitely a step up from the kobolds. They are fast and dangerous! We are still tweaking these, but keep in mind that you will face these enemies on the second planet where the learning curve has gone up a little bit. You’ll also have more upgrades by the time you meet them.

But for now, we hope you have fun pummeling them and getting your, uh, revenge! ^w~

Kobold City Ruins
We have expanded a great deal on this area! We hope you have as much fun exploring it and finding the secrets as we had building it.

Can you find all the Rift Crystals and discover what this new Rift is all about!?

(HINT: To make it a bit easier, we have hidden more Rift Crystals in the area than you actually need to open the portal! But if you’re up for a challenge, try to find all 18 of them!)

Map Screen
The map screen has been completely recreated from the ground up! It is heavily inspired by the map style of games like Ori and Hollow Knight. We think it makes navigating maps easier, as the shape of the area gives you more information than a bunch of colored squares.

You can also set your own pins now! Click a pin again to cycle through images.

Deflected Projectiles
A smaller but interesting change is the way deflected projectiles behave now. We want to expand on this mechanic and make it more fun. Try hitting kobold bombs and other stuff and see what happens! This should make fighting enemies that use projectiles and throwables way more fun and rewarding!

Kincaid Build 2023.03 *Hotfix 1c*

Meet (and Kiss) Tiaki, the Moss Former

Our lovely kobold shaman finally has a name and a more flavorful job description! She’s also very curious about Kinny’s soft fur. Luckily, Kincaid is more than happy to give her a thorough demonstration and Tiaki has some tricks up her sleeve, too!
Explore the Old City Ruins

The first half of a new area has been added. You can access it via the stone mason’s elevator! Compared to the starting area, this section of the game will feature tighter platforming and more challenges.
New Foes

Some new enemies have appeared in the jungle!

And before anyone asks, these creatures won’t be getting a lewd animation, sorry! ^w~
Gameplay Preview

We know the overhaul took some time, but we hope playing these new sections you’ll find it was the right move for the game. More challenging platforming sections like this wouldn’t have been possible or fun in the old resolution.

Hotfix 1 Released!

(Hopefully) fixed a rare bug that made gallery items lock back up. Please let me know if it happens again!
