v2022.06 & Glitchcaid 2
Beary Good News Everyone!
You can now download and play the newest release of Kincaid! ^w^
Also, I made the last experimental build, Glitchcaid 2, available for all $5 patrons. Please check it out and let me know what you think! Glitchcaid 2 is an overhaul based on our learnings from developing Kincaid. I’ll post more about it down below. But first, let’s look at what’s new in 2022.06!
Bear Enemy Added!
Find him in the spooky forest behind the rift in the tree top palace!
Please note that some of the graphics are still placeholders or unfinished. I wasn’t able to complete all the animation work before my LARP event, but I will get back to work next Monday and the completed sprites will make it into the Quality of Life update we’ll work on next! ^w^
Same goes for all the sound effects! The voice actor has sent us a batch of recordings, but we didn’t get around to processing them and adding them to the game. ^^
How to lewd frenemies!
In this build we’re introducing a new way to have fun with the enemies! We’ve shown this a while back in the “Domcaid” Experimental Build ( https://www.patreon.com/posts/61582560 ) a few months ago.
To trigger a scene, just walk up to the defeated enemy. If there are no other enemies closeby, the game will offer you the option to have some fun!
Do note that the threesome isn’t possible to trigger in this version. We’ll add that back into the game in the Quality of Life update.
Similarly the CGs used to be for game overs. Going forward we’re going to find a new way to integrate them. For now you’re able to enjoy them from the gallery!
I hope you like the changes! Please let us know what you think! ^w^
But wait, there is more!
But this isn’t all we’ve been working on! As we’ve mentioned in our roadmap post ( https://www.patreon.com/posts/66500973 ), Null is currently hard at work on an overhaul featuring a bigger moveset, a higher resolution and some other things.
I’ll just copy and post the release post from earlier. ^w~
Glitchcaid 2
Important Note: Control Scheme is at the bottom of the post!
As the previous Glitchcaid, this build is meant to gather feedback on new abilities and movement options we have been working on.
Since none of the actual in-game content is built around these abilities we made a few raw levels and packaged them into their own little mini adventure for you to enjoy! ^w~
On Difficulty
The levels in this build aren’t big but they are challenging. We made them a bit harder on purpose so you’re forced to really play with them and not just mess around a little bit.
Rest assured: The difficulty in this build is not reflective of what the desired difficulty in the actual Kincaid game is going to be.
New Abilities & Movement Options
Here’s the list of new abilities that you’ll find in this build:
Ledge Grab – We felt like the basic platformer was missing something. Barely missing a platform and falling down felt bad. We went back and forth on introducing walljumping that works everywhere and other options to help with that. In the end we decided to go with ledge grabbing/climbing. We thought it fits the type of levels we want to build a bit better.
Crawling – Only ducking felt a bit too slow and limiting so we decided to introduce crawling. It won’t be super slow tho, as not to interrupt the smooth flow of running & jumping. Together with the ledge grab it allows for far more interesting level design.
Hand-over-Hand Climbing
These mechanics only exist in code now, I haven’t done animations for any of them yet, so the footage looks a bit silly. xD
Reintroduced & reworked Hookshot – First introduced in our “Glitchcaid” demo but deemed unusable because of how little of the surrounding area the player can see. But since we’ve increased the resolution of the game it has become a viable option again!
Gliding – Kincaid’s boots can emit a powerful impulse that allows her to double jump. Now she can emit the energy continuously to allow her to glide down gently!
Rail Grinding – Kincaid can now use the forcefield of her boots to grind along rails at high speed! Cookie made the sprites for this over a year ago but like the hookshot, this mechanic also wasn’t feasible in the old resolution.
Reintroduced Downsmash – Another ability that was first introduced in the Glitchcaid demo. It used to be a charged melee attack. We made it easier to launch and brought it back into the overhaul version.
Reworked Dash & Dodge Roll – The dodge roll felt too sluggish compared to the dash. We brought both abilities closer together and made the roll feel more dynamic.
More Platforming Forgiveness – We added more small forgiveness tweaks like allowing Kincaid to jump up a platform if only a few pixels are missing for her to reach it! Nothing huge or groundbreaking, but makes the platforming experience even smoother overall.
Higher Resolution – We also changed the game’s resolution to better support faster movement speeds and more involved platforming.
Send us your Feedback!
How are you liking the new abilities? Please send us your thoughts and notes!
Important Note
This build is based on the overhaul version I have mentioned in my previous roundup ( https://www.patreon.com/posts/66500973 ) so a few things are broken or not yet finished.
For example, we’ve switched to a new input manager to better support all kinds of controllers. The conversion is not yet complete, so rebinding keys doesn’t work as of yet.
Here’s the default control scheme for playing this build:
Thanks for playing!
Cookie & Null
v2022.03 Hotfix 1
- New Quest added: Water Works! (Includes a full new pixel scene)
- New characters introduced: Kincaid’s sidekick Ai and the evil queen Kaha!
- The first batch of story cutscenes have been added!
- Sounds for “Toy Test-Ride” animation has been added!
- Fixed some bugs in the boss fight.
- By popular demand, the mason Pohaku is also now present in the gallery version of that scene!
- A bunch of minor bugfixes.
v2021.11
Mason Quest Reward!
The quest reward for finishing the mason’s quest for conveniently shaped marble has been added! If you already finished the quest, it should unlock by just talking to him again.
Big Bold Boss Battle!
It’s finally time for another boss battle!
You’ll be able to face the Heavy BOI by going to the obvious boss room in the upper temple area (or start a new game, grab the upgrades you want and use the handy-dandy warp portal).
The boss is going to need some more polish around the cinematics and his tail slam attack effect is still missing, but I am taking a couple of days off and didn’t want to make you wait any longer! ^w^
Warp Room
If your save games get borked you can now start a blank save, grab any upgrades you want from the new start room and use one of the teleporters to get near where you last left off. This won’t fill out the map for you, but at least you don’t have to waste a bunch of time redoing everything.
I hope this quick fix helps with some of the frustration while Null makes a new save game system.
- New content as mentioned above
- Shooting now cancels dodge roll (melee and jumping already did this)
- Various smaller tweaks and fixes
2021.09
Hi Space Adventurer! ^w^
This build is a bit shorter on both features and new content. Null and I are focusing on finishing up the main story and redesigning the world map right now. Until that is completed we decided to make the next couple of builds smaller, focused on lewd content updates, until the overhaul is ready!
We promise the wait is going to be worth it!
Full new CG set featuring Akamai, the shy kobold!
The story that goes along with it is part of the main story, so it is a bit more in-depth and detailed than the “Game Over” ones. Altogether the story has 3694 words. I hope you have as much fun reading it as we had writing it!
IMPORTANT: You can access the new content by heading to the village and talking to the ‘bold wearing a pink scarf!
Some other things that changed:
- Kincaid’s orgasm voiceline has been added to the gecko animation.
- Added some new environmental sound effects, like flapping flags in the village.
- Wolf can now be challenged as often as you want to.
- The healing animation is a bit snappier.
- Fixed a rare bug that could crash the game.
- Fixed a bug where the air attack would not respect Kincaid’s max falling speed.
- Fixed a bunch of collision bugs that could get Kincaid stuck in certain areas.
- Fixed a bunch of visual bugs.
- Fixed a bug where some “Naughty Villager” scenes would get skipped in the gallery.
2021-08
- Fixed: Game crashes in some cases when you hit a “respawn hazard”
- Fixed: You can jump out of the level if you go back to the wolf’s encounter room
- Fixed: Black screen at the start of the flight instructor scene (dialogue invisible)
Build 2021.08
I’m excited to present you with the newest installment of Kincaid!
This one started out as a Quality of Life build, but as life would have it, Null’s coding efforts took a little longer than he had anticipated and we decided to roll it together with a bunch of new content to make one bigger release.
Gecko Game Over CG + Sound Effects
The new CG set contains 8 variations and the story that goes along with it is almost 2800 words long (2798 to be exact)!
I also mentioned earlier that the build would release without sound effects for her, but our sound designer is a super star and he managed to deliver the new sounds way ahead of schedule!
The only thing missing still is Kincaid’s climax – The sound effect got uploaded just as I started uploading the build to Patreon. xD
New Combat System
Another big chunk of work in this build is the new combat system. Null wrote it completely from scratch for a variety of reasons. We also added a bunch of extra polish to combat to make it feel better:
- New punch and splat effects
- New “swooshes”
- Hitting enemies can knock them back
- Defeated enemies get knocked back extra hard instead of just splatting to the floor like before.
Let us know what you think of the changes!
Next Planet Preview
The Glitchcaid Rift in the chambers of the Kobold Queen has reopened! It now leads to a little preview area to showcase some of the art for the next planet we’ve been working on!
There’s also a new song added for this area as well!
Be sure to check it out!
Smaller Quality of Life Changes
In earlier builds of the game, when you hit your head it sent Kincaid flying down, making some jumps unnecessarily difficult.
Now, if you hit your head, Kincaid sticks to the ceiling for just a little bit, before starting to fall.
It’s a subtle change but it makes managing some areas much easier and it just feels nicer.
That’s the biggest changes so far! Be sure to check out the changelog for some minor things as well.
Have fun with the game!
Cookie & Bunny

- Opening/Closing temple doors positioned the sound loop in the wrong spot, making them inaudible

New water system
Underwater mechanics and hazards

- Some special effects & Lighting effects (used mainly in the village for now)
- Small transition animation for the wolf, picking Kincaid up
- Cutscene & Dialogue System

Fixed
- A bunch of minor things
Build 2020-05
- Pausing and unpausing during a threesome doesn’t deactivate the invitee but the animation keeps playing.
- Small collision bug in the cave. Kincaid would get stuck if you double jumped from the save spot.
- Double-Tapping the jump key allows for a fake double jump.
- Movement key mapping resetting every time you go back to the main menu.
- Ceiling slopes can’t be used as ziplines anymore.

Build 2020-04
- Kobold threesome! If there are more Kobolds around they will now come over to observe the fun. If you want you can invite the lucky winner for some 3X fun!
- Zooming into sex acts.
- Inputs are remappable now – both for keyboard and for controller.
- D-Pad support!
- Input buffering for a lot of the action keys. This means that things like jumping still register, even if you pressed jump slightly before landing. Similarly works with dodge rolls, slides and attacks.
- Corner forgiveness for head bumps. If you barely hit a corner now, instead of sending Kincaid flying down, we gently nudge her around the corner without interrupting your jump path.
- In-game tutorials and reminders for controls and abilities.
- Multiple save files and the ability to erase them.
- Play time is tracked per save
Changed
- Health got an overhaul as another step towards more metroidvania-like systems. You now start the game with less HP. Health items increase your Max HP and save points heal you fully. As a result, there are now less health items in the world (but altogether still more than you need to max out your health!)
- Dodge rolls can now be cancelled with a jump or an attack.
- Increase slime’s attack animation speed slightly.
- Sneaky slimes now do damage if they catch you, instead of only stunning.
- Kobolds are stunned for a little bit longer.
- Kobold pellets are a bit faster.
Fixed
- Various bugs I introduced during a long refactoring pass I did on the whole game (cleaning up the code-base, making things more efficient in the long run)
- Some typos in CG scenes
- Have fun everyone and thank you so much for your support! Thanks to you the game just keeps getting better and better!
Build 2020-02
Even though there is no new lewd content, there is still a lot of new things to discover! I made two new tilesets and redid the whole starting area. The whole area spans the size of the temple.
There is a new piece of music, which is playing in the illustrated game over screens. A bunch of new sounds have been added, including some environmental sound effects and sounds for the slime enemy. The wolf enemy will be voiced next!
We also fixed the controller issues! So you can finally play again with a controller. ^-^
Aside from that there have been a bunch of bug fixes and tweaks. Going forward we will try to be more organized so we can have a proper changelog. ^^;
Build 2019-11
The wolf sprite has a total of 444 frames of animation (100 frames for combat and 344 for sex act), 8 high-resolution CG illustrations and 10 high-res overlays for the CG sequence (cutouts of her face, the woof and internal shots). The encounter story that comes with it has 1260 words for the script!
The world itself has not grown or changed much, since we are reaching the point where we are going to restructure the world soon anyway.
Auto-Save & Continue
The game now autosaves at the various checkpoints within the game. It is still unclear where they exactly are, but we tried to space them out in a fair manner. With the next update we will introduce proper save spots in the game.
You can continue where you left off if you choose “Continue” from the main menu!
Build 2019-08
N/A
Build 2019-07
TBD
Build 2019.05
Before I dive into the build and what the focus is, let me just get it out there: The slime is not in it yet! But no worries, I will be releasing a second build later this month, which will have the new sex content. ^w^
This build is focused on new moves Kincaid can do to navigate the world and evade enemies. We introduced double jump, dodge rolling, ducking and sliding.
Ducking is pretty self explanatory. Dodge rolling and sliding evades enemies and projectiles, but it does not protect you from environmental hazards like spike traps. So be careful where you roll that big juicy tushy!
In the final game, these abilities might be unlockables that you don’t have from the start.
In order to play the new rooms, choose “Temple of Trials” from the main menu. The old levels are still there and have been changed slightly to address some issues players were having with them.
The Temple of Trials is a set of rooms that will test your skills in using the new abilities and exploring some level design concepts for them.
And just to reiterate: This is not the way we will be presenting levels in the final game. While the game is still in development and we’re playing around with different ideas and concepts, we will be making rooms specific for each version for you guys to try things out.
Once Kincaid’s abilities and the way you get them are decided upon, we will move to production and create the actual game world her.
Controls:
Other new things:
- Settings menu for video and audio
- Cute new smooching animation
- Kincaid is less grumpy when she idles
- Jump-thru platforms
- Slopes
- Moving Platforms
Known Issues:
- Moving platforms can push or pull you into solid obstacles.
The next steps:
After seeing how people like the new moves and squashing any bugs surrounding it, we will tackle the combat system next. Right now combat is very simple. For the new combat we will introduce combo attacks, dedicated air attacks and experiment with (charged) ranged attacks.
I hope you’ll have fun with the new level set!
Warm regards,
Cookie & Null
