Bara game - Help the Lube Fairy to restore peace in a land where lube was banned 100 years ago. 路 By
People, Lubrificanus has been downloaded 2000+ times ! Can't tell you how happy I am ! Thank you so, so much for your support ! o/
Still working on the visuals of chapter 2 and I hope the new guys you'll encounter in the forest won't disappoint ! Hopefully I can show some preview in 1 week or 2 !
You're awesome ! <3
(Also, uncropped version of the pic above right here !)
Meet Bison, a new addition to Lubrificanus' cast ! You'll encounter Bison in the Forest of the One Peril in Chapter 2 (Ruben's route). Boyo will need Ruben's help and it will be up to you to decide the fate of this poor fellow.
He looks so innocent with his lil shark teeth. <3
Admiral is the elder of the mermen brothers. Once an authority figure, he now locks himself in his room, surrounded by books and various treasures scavenged from poor, unlucky adventurers traversing the forest.
Your game is excellent, great animation and cgs, but I wanted to know if you will make a version for Android?
Me alegro que puedas volver al juego y te tomes tu tiempo, espero con ansias la actualizaci贸n, te mando mucha fuerza y abrazos :)
I'm happy you could get back in the game and you'll take your time, I'm looking forward for the update, I send you lots of strength and hugs :) (Sorry for the bad translation xD)
2 screens from chapter 2 ! Didnt mean to take 2 separate screens where Ruben doesnt emote lol (also bg from 2nd screen was reworked, don't worry !)
Hard to say, but I'm aiming for the end of june. July at worst.
Chapter 2 will be 6 different zones/quests and right now I have 2 done. Most of the sprites/script is finished, the only big things left are the CGs and the coding. Talking only about Ruben's route of course.
Once Ruben's route is done, Lee's and Typhon's will be quicker, as the art/code for the different locations will be finished.
Keeping you all updated as fast as I can ! o/
Hey there ! It will be end of the month. I'm taking some vacay from work in september and I'll use it to do bug fixing. :)
Just so you know where I am, I just have 2 big scenes to code and its CGs to draw. After that I'll put the sidequests in and then we're good ! A big chunk of the game has already been tested by 2 friends.
You need an invite code.
I have one. If you're on twitter, DM-me there. I'll send you a bluesky invite. :) (https://twitter.com/UramakiGigan)
S'up everybody ! Figured I'd give some details about the status of the game. :)
Chapter 2 is made of 3 big parts + a lot of short sidequests. Right now, 1 part is completely done, and I'm trying my best to finish the second one (the biggest of the 3) tomorrow. Right after that, I attack the 3rd part, then the sidequests.
That means I have about 10 CGs to draw. Gotta make that chapter extra smutty to make it worth the wait ! o/
For the sidequests, most won't give CGs but cards or journals pages. Most cards are already drawn. Still have to work on the journal pages but it won't take long.
I've received all the new tracks from Vel and have coded some mini-games without any bugs reported by my beta testers. Crossing my fingers.
All of that to say there is still a lot of work to do, so that late september deadline may be a little short. That said, I'm supposed to present that chapter 2 for a convention in Paris by the beginning of november, so it's my hard deadline. You'll get the chapter 2 before it, but just so you know I'm working on it and won't make you wait another year lol
As stated before, the next updates after this one will be Typhon and Lee's routes. It will reuse a lot of material from the chapter I'm working on so you won't have to wait that long.
Some sreenshots ! Will post more in about 2 weeks. Thx for your patience. ;)
Hello ! Sure !
I took a two-week break from working on it because my daytime job required all my attention, and I was also preparing for an upcoming convention. I'll resume work on the game at the beginning of next week.
I mentioned that Chapter 2 can be separated into three large sections. Two of them are already done and tested. The last section, "The Trial of the Forest," has its background and sprites completed. All that's left are the CGs and the code. I believe I can finish this part in two weeks.
After that, it gets a bit more complicated and depends on how many sidequests I want to include in Chapter 2. Here are some updates:
I prefer not to provide a specific deadline, as I've had trouble respecting them in the past. However, starting next week, I'll have fewer commitments at my daytime job and will be able to take some days off. I'll do my best to submit a new build as soon as possible. I apologize for the wait.
If it doesn't require you to do too much extra, releasing a build without the sidequests and labelling it WIP, plus maybe a message at the end that says future builds will add side content sounds like a good idea. Don't underestimate how funny the game is even outside of the big joke parts. Sure Beatrice made me wheeze laugh, but your writing style in chapter 1 kept me chuckling throughout.
Now that there's gonna be a branch at the end of chapter 2 I know I'll definitely be playing it at least twice, so having to go back and play the chapter again for the side content wouldn't be an issue. I wonder, is it essentially gonna be the same 2 choices for all 3 routes once they get released?
That said, I totally get not wanting to release an unfinished chapter, especially if it would require extra temporary coding to tie off loose branches until the next release. Either way, I'm definitely looking forward to chapter 2 it definitely sounds like it will be well worth the wait. 2024 is officially the year of lube!
Thx for your comment, I'll think about it ! o/
I'll pass on one of the sidequests and it will be fully coded for the next next update, as it recquires a lot of new CGs. I'd like to have the new cards and diary pages implemented anyway. We'll see ! o/
The Trial of the Forest will be different for each character so no, it won't be the same choices for the 3 routes. Basically, it just gives you options on how to pass the trial. The end result will be the same.
Send me a DM on twitter, I'll give you a code. I may have some available. :)

Hello !
First, thank you, that's an honor !
Second, I just finished drawing the last card. I know I said that already, but I kept adding more. Ran into a big problem as I changed a lot of rules, to make them a bit more complicated, so it took a while to code and debug. But it's done now !
Now here's what I'm working on : I need 2 CGs to finish a quest, and 2 diary pages. After those 4 pics, I'll be done, it will enter debug phase. Trying my best to work on it as quickly as possible. o/
Not much good news, unfortunately. I've changed a little something in the game that made the whole thing bug like crazy. Spent a good 3 weeks playing an replaying the game to correct shit.
All the cards are done. Diary pages as well. I'm currently checking the last straight line of the game. It will be done this week.
Last thing I'd like to implement before releasing the build is a new UI for the inventory, as a new collectible will drop in a next update, and I've drawn more cards than initially planned. Doing my best to do all of that as quickly as possible.
Yeah sorry about that ! Codded the first chapter when I had way more free time. You won't have to wait that long for the next chapters.
2 pics of the next chapter ! Prepare for a lot of shirtless hunks :P
