Slice of Venture Remake v0.2 is out! (Pixiv Fanbox)

Hello everyone,

As you can see, we're late, but the new release is finally here!

It was one hell of an end. I had the three artists working together to provide the necessary art content. And I got everything almost at the same time. You guys are lucky I didn't have a rope at hand... Dealing with huge-ass files one by one is a chore in itself but all of them in one go? Juggling between them to check all the mistakes to correct, redownloading the same file over and over again to get the proper version? I don't want to live that anymore -_- And you know the worse? There are things I'm not satisfied with so we're planning on improving a few elements on those pics for the next update ^^' So yeah, the end of dev was the most chaotic we ever had. But at least, it's done!

With this update, the core story of SoVR is finally finished!

What you expected to see in the first version will be there: The scene between you-know-who, Yuki and Ayame? Check. Bunichi, Reiko and Akiko? Check. There are two other scenes that have been implemented and those two weren't in the original game. One of them is story-related (you can't miss it) and the other is optional.

Those scenes were things I would have added in the original game if I didn't have the constraint of content. They're very tame, so they would have felt like "missed opportunities" in the original game. But here, considering how crazy I plan to go with the post-game content, I wanted such tame scenes to be included. They participate in the immersion. And they also serve as safeguards for my mental health. The fact I can still enjoy basic vanilla content like that means I'm not completely rotten yet :x

In terms of numbers remember this carefully, this is probably the only time in the whole Blue Axolotl existence that an update will have MORE base image than scenes. It's ALWAYS the other way around (or at best, the same amount). But here for the 4 new scenes, there are 6 base images because the new Yuki/Ayame/**** scene has 3 base images! I won't lie, I made that choice because those images will be reused in future content. But that heavily explains the delays as well ^^' In terms of total pics that's 41 new pics.

Then you have all the elements I mentioned in past posts that are also there: a trophy system, new title screen and buttons, custom menu SFX, backgrounds added to all scenes without one, new font, size increase and small reworkd of cut-ins, new status menu, gallery mode with hints, tutorial for shortcuts and SoulMate, possibility to switch between Yuki and Ayame, the whole figurine talk with Riki, Tetsu and Kentaro, interactive elements on maps, a proper flashlight system in the mine...

So yes, LOTS of QoL elements to make this update the definitive one for the main story. As always, feel free to check the Changelog for the whole list.

I won't bother you further. Here are the links!

Considering how the team crunched for that update everyone is going to take a bit of rest. After all the releases have been done, I will finally be able to start a serie of posts to show you my plans for the post-game content. I'm very excited to start talking about this!

See ya! o/
