Yorna: Monster Girl's Secret [Monster Girl, Yuri, Straight, Female Hero]

[Yeehaw Games]

Hello! Yorna’s main story has ended in v1.3.5 so you call it the end of the game. Still, I plan several updates to add more content to it before switching to the next game. It will be a parallel process, so along with new Yorna’s updates, you can expect some previews and spoilers for the new game.

What content will I add to Yorna in the near future? First of all, I will make domination scenes for normal enemies. Since players voted for this feature in the poll, I will stick to this decision. Aside from this, I plan to make at least 1 more M x F scene to uphold the yuri/straight balance. Plus, some small things like mini-scenes with monster girls and fixes to the existing content.

The next update should arrive around the usual middle of the month. You can expect 3-4 months of updates before the complete switchover to the new game.

As for the new game itself, it will feature a fantasy setting with monster girls at its core but focus on different gameplay mechanics and aspects. Yorna was a white crow among other H games. To be precise, I made a game with porn in it, not a porn game. Some players liked it while others were bored to death. In the next game, I’ll try to come closer to the general expectations players have about a porn game.

I have several drafts on my hands and in the first month of development, I will compile them into a single development plan. Then, I’ll share more details with you since I first need to make several choices like the main character’s gender and gameplay mechanics. Most likely I will have less time than usual to dedicate to the development, so this is a factor to consider too.

Also, I plan to make several feedback polls for Yorna to see which aspects players liked the most. Stay tuned for the upcoming updates and news!

Yorna E1 (Short for extra pack number 1) is up for download! You can get the new version here.

H content

This time players will be able to get 2 new domination H events. The first scene features pandarians from the first island, while the second one focuses on werewolf girls on Ikko island. Both new scenes are located towards the end of the gallery.

To get domination H events, you need to defeat enemies with lust magic like “Seduce” and “Lust Bolt” only. Any other offensive means will give you a regular victory. Please note, not all enemies have domination scenes – you can check this in the gallery.

New features and activities

Players can get a new mini-cutscene after visiting the mountain region on the second island. Visit your castle and uncover strange news – Mio has a fan club! I’m pretty sure Ayane won’t miss her chance to play another trick on them.

Small fixes and improvements

Added missing chest (the green one) with a treasure map in the Far Oasis zone, namely the cave with pipes. Now you can properly dig up all the treasure in the game.

Fixed an issue with domination H scenes. The ambient sound now properly stops before the H event and resumes after it.

Decreased the delay before the enemy vanishes from the active map after you beat them with a domi scene.

Adjusted some map geometry for better navigation.


As always, if you don’t like something about the game – tell me, and if you like Yorna – tell your friends ^^

Yorna E2 (Short for extra pack number 2) is up for download! You can get the new version here.

H content

2 new domination H events are available in this update. The first scene features lusty girls from the deep mines on Ikko island. The second one is all about the catmen on the same island, check out snowy regions. Both new scenes are located towards the end of the gallery.

To get domination H events, you need to defeat enemies with lust magic like “Seduce” and “Lust Bolt” only. Any other offensive means will give you a regular victory. Please note, not all enemies have domination scenes – you can check this in the gallery.

New features and activities

You can find two new mini-scenes in the fox temple on Ikko island. The first one will feature the “small” gang and their attempt to thank Ada for the croissants. The second one will focus on kitsune problems, namely – brushing their tails. Both mini-scenes are available closer to the end of the game, after you’ll unlock True Yorna’s lair.

Small fixes and improvements

Changed the entrance to deep mines on Ikko island to activate on player touch since you can’t go through this region on the global map.

Added the note about saving to shady guy’s dialogue. Some players had trouble figuring this out.

Adjusted some map geometry for better navigation.


As always, if you don’t like something about the game – tell me, and if you like Yorna – tell your friends ^^

 

[Yeehaw Games]

Yorna E3 (Short for extra pack number 3) is up for download! You can get the new version here.

H content

There are one new mansion H scene and a new domination option with the akaname in this update. The first one is about some lewd fun with ropes. You can find it in the mansion’s basement – there’s a new guard before the room entrance. He will give you all the details.

The second new H scene features akaname on the second (Ikko) island, check out the mountain ridge before the desert zone. Both new scenes are located towards the end of the gallery.

Don’t forget, to get domination H events, you need to defeat enemies with lust magic like “Seduce” and “Lust Bolt” only. Any other offensive means will give you a regular victory. All other skills like buffs and heal are fine. Please note, not all enemies have domination scenes – you can check this in the gallery.

New features and activities

As always, I made two new mini-scenes, mainly featuring the “smol” gang. You can them in the fox temple on the second (Ikko) island. This time both of them are about Momo and her cuteness :>. Both new mini-scenes are available closer to the end of the game, after you’ll unlock True Yorna’s lair.

Small fixes and improvements

Fixed an issue with tap input on Android devices. Tapping some buttons like hide/unhide previously counted as a move command, so Ada tried to follow your tapping. Now, this shouldn’t be happening. If you still encounter this issue on version E3 – please contact me.

As always, if you don’t like something about the game – tell me, and if you like Yorna – tell your friends ^^

Heya! Since most players wanted weekly reports back, I'm back with the first one.

Let's start with Yorna. I'm finishing Chimera's domi scene - you can check the preview here. I have all the art on my hands, so it's all about polishing the narrative at the moment. Will be done during this week.

Made a convenience change in the forest spirit H scene logic. Previously, the normal scene variation with it required Ada to have lewd level 4 or less. This meant that you couldn't lower it enough with herbal tea if you missed the H event at the start of the game and decided to unlock the whole gallery later. Now, the normal H scene option needs lewd level 5 or less - just right so you could use the herbal tea.

Fixed a small bug with herbal tea and dress changes. Previously. if you drank the tea or lust drafts and tried to change Ada's dress in the same inventory session, the on-map sprite didn't change. Now, it correctly shows the active dress.

And a bit of sad news for players who wait for Yorna's return to Steam. The usual Steam Direct checks take a ridiculously big amount of time for the return. There are two of them. One for the store page's description and decor. And the other one is for basic game build testing.

So, the shop check found nothing wrong with the page, but the support team can't mark it as passed unless the build check gives Yorna the green light. This wasn't the case the first time the game got into Steam. Can't say if this is the new rule set or they make a special case of Yorna.

The build check failed 2 times in a row on a perfectly playable E3 build. The first time they wanted to test all the listed features and asked for the full save. The second time the testers mentioned Yorna failed some kind of automated tests without even providing any info about these or what they want from me. Thanks, Steam. Thus, the release window shifts to January because of Valve - "the game must be at coming soon status at least 2 weeks prior to the release." And you don't get this status until both checks give you the green light...

Switching over to MonGirl Expedition. I'm finishing the last things I want to be in the release. Currently, I'm working on adding events for catgirl Naka and the first H scene for the oni Mona. The first one awaits the illustration art while the second one is waiting for the experimental H scene art.

Talking about the art assets, I'm about the finalize the wrestling mini-game. The logic is almost done, I just need to tune the balance and add simple graphics to the game to illustrate the action. It's a rather simple mini-game where you need to press the correct direction arrows to overpower your opponents. My biggest concern about it is the mobile devices, these may need some adjustments.

Another game is ready, and I just have to tune the rewards. This one will allow players to guide a fairy in a search for valuables. Balancing the risk versus rewards, you will make treasure hunts with fairies' help.

Logic-wise, I'm filing with the last feature for the game - girl diary. This book will allow you to check all the different girls that you met in the game and see your relationships with them. Hopefully, this will help players to see their progress and anticipate the new options with girls once they unlock new levels of affection.

That’s about it. So far, so good. The estimated release date for the new project stays the same – January 2021. If all will go well, the new game will come out pretty soon.

Hello! Magus release wave is up for grabs, don’t forget to check it out!

Okay, let’s start with Yorna. Both new H domi scenes are ready (Chimera’s and Anubis’s), just finished polishing the narrative part for the last one. You can check out the preview here. With this, all normal enemies have their own domi variations, and the domination feature is completed for all options. What’s left is to make another small & funny cutscene with monster girls and the release is ready to be play-tested.

Can’t say anything good about the new version of Yorna for Steam. I made a new version of the game and put it to Steam's check on December 12th. The review team said, “some kind of automatic tests failed, please await further details”. 2 weeks passed, and up to this moment the status didn't change at all. All my questions about this are met with standard-issue answers like "we are working on it! thanks for your patience!" and no details about these tests. Well, guess we can only wait…

And let’s switch to the pretty happy news about the new project. All is going well, and all the main mechanics are already in the game except just one. I’m making the last maps for your adventures with about 90% completed both with tiles and logic.

The second focus point is the mini-games and different events with girls. Since MonGirl (s)Expedition uses the night and day cycle, I have a lot of opportunities to add these into the game. So, I’m planning to add several right in the first release. Priestess already got hers, oni and neko are in the work. If the time permits, I’ll also add the kitsune for the cult of fluff.

I want to try out a different approach with h scene in the new game. These will be smaller but more frequent. Also, as some players wanted in Yorna, the H scenes will be re~playable through the game story, not just the gallery mode.

Otherwise, what’s lefts are various interface pieces to swap the placeholders out and finalizing the state of the game. All in all, I can say it’s good progress, especially if you keep in mind the holiday season and the reduced work time before the release.

That’s it. Stay tuned for the upcoming updates and happy new year to you! See you in 2021 ^^

 

[Yeehaw Games]

Heya! The first 2021 weekly report is here, so let’s see what changed during this week.

Yorna’s E4 update is almost ready for the release. Both H scenes are done and ready. The only thing left to do is to add another mini scene with girls. Hmm, I’m not sure whom to use this time…

No news from the Steam front. The game is still in the Valve checking phase and, with the holidays, I didn’t expect anything. Still, it will soon be 4th week ticking from the moment I submitted the game for their review.

Switching to MonGirl (s)Expedition, I made decent progress before the family trip and the other holidays' stuff. The last minigame with a fairy is ready for release. It’s a scavenger hunt where players will manage the fairy’s stamina to explore the different zones and get loot based on their decisions.

So, with the main logic of the game done, I will be focused on playtesting the game and finalizing the interface. Some players mentioned that some elements of the game were confusing. While I don’t have a formal education as an interface designer, I’ll do my best so MonGirl (s)Expedition will not have the same problems. Plus, there are always nifty extras like extra content if I’ll have the time.

Also, I made a poll about the tutorials for the new game. If the players will be interested in these, I’ll make short tutorials in the game itself. If you had troubles with mechanics in Yorna – be sure to hit the poll. I don't think this will affect the release date.

As for the release date, Yorna should roll out, as usual, January 14th. Then, I’ll update the Steam version and make sure everything is alright. After this, I’ll launch the new game around January 16th-18th if all goes well.

Stay tuned for the upcoming updates!

Yorna E4 (Short for extra pack number 4) is up for download! You can get the new version here.

H content

There are two new domination H scenes with Anubis and Chimera. These are on the second (Ikko) island, check out the two last zones, namely the palm forest and Yorna’s lair. Both new scenes are located towards the end of the H gallery.

Don’t forget, to get domination H events, you need to defeat enemies with lust magic like “Seduce” and “Lust Bolt” only. Any other offensive means will give you a regular victory. All other skills like buffs and heals are fine. Please note, not all enemies have domination scenes – you can check this in the gallery.

New features and activities

There’s one new mini-scene with Ayane and Hanako in the kitsune temple on the second (Ikko) island. I decided to finish the optional events with two big fluffballs :>

Small fixes and improvements

Fixed a bug with some cutscenes using the gaudy Ada’s room in the castle even if the upgrade wasn’t bought by the player at that time. The rest of the logic stays the same.


That’s it for the last planned update! Don’t forget that the new game is coming up shortly and stay tuned!

As always, if you don’t like something about the game – tell me, and if you like Yorna – tell your friends ^^

Hello! Don’t forget to check out the Magus release wave for Yorna and MonGirl Sexpedition!

The work is progressing fine despite the slight shift to Elly’s and Belle’s art packs. Both involved artists assure me that they will finish the work before the release date around 14-16th February. Since I want to get inside the usual release dates, I’ll make our best along with artists. If something changes, I’ll make a separate info post.

All new maps are ready and I’m working on Jack’s “home” cave. v0.1.5 will bring the first improvements you can make for your home. I’m working on a system that will allow buying elements separately from each other in the future since I plan to make quite a few of them. Also, I have an idea to allow players to buy paintings with their favorite girls and hang these at home. Just an idea though, not sure if I will be able to make this in v0.1.5 or the next release.

Finished Mona’s new H scene and the extra fun you can have with her boobies once you’ll reach the second milestone in relationships with her and finish her mini-quest. These are repeatable right in the game, just like Mariam’s confession H scene. And no, Lady Dimitrescu and the new Resident Evil trailer didn’t affect this :> Now working on Elly and Belle’s teasing scenes.

Fixed night forest ambiance incorrectly playing in some indoor areas around evening and night.

Renamed slot 30 in the save menu into AutoSave to avoid possible confusion. No changes to actual working logic.

Added autosave function to the first transition into the deeper forest area in Niko forest.

Added several potions to Mona’s shop as a way to increase Jack’s stats for a day. These are available once you’ll accompany her to the forest for some herb gathering. Such potions can be handy for stat checks in some actions and even minigames like the wrestling.

Disabled and removed several testing skills from the early builds of the game. No real impact on the gameplay, just some interface clearing.

Thanks to Bauch1234 fixed the bug that allowed players to get inside the deeper part of the forest at night. Using this bug caused the game to freeze over time since the logic wasn’t expecting such behavior. Also, I added soft padding to avoid such freezes in the future.


That’s it, stay tuned for the upcoming previews and updates! I also plan to make separate threads for MonGirl Sexpedition on community forums once the game will hit the public release date.
