Status update Episode 10 (Patreon)

I've been sick for the better part of the week - stupid flu - but I'm almost back to normal now.

I've been writing and working on mini-games during the week, and the PCs are rendering animations as usual.

I have already prepared the backend code for all special renders, 2D art, and gallery. I usually leave this bit until late development, but I wanted to have it done early, making it easy to add collectibles and lewd scenes as I develop the episode.

Mini-games

I wanted to talk briefly about mini-games today and likely at another time during this development cycle.

With Season 3, I wanted new ones and also to see over the existing ones.

The English mini-game has been fun and challenging, and when I thought about whether I should replace it or not, I decided to keep it. But I have updated the design and functionality for Season 3.

You can now type the words, as I know many of you always have wanted. You also type "cheat" or "quit" for their functionalities, and a simple press of the spacebar will shuffle the letters.

You can type any 6-letter word freely and even use backspace; it feels fast and responsive.

I streamlined the backend code while I was at it to make it easy to add new tests without having to rewrite stuff in the future.

And don't worry; I didn't spoil the actual letters for the episode 10 mini-game with this preview. ;)

On the other hand, the Math class is getting replaced by a new mini-game. I have completed the development of it, and I love what I created.

I don't want to show you the entire thing or spoil the gameplay, but I will tease a subset of it with this image.

On top of these, I have two other completed mini-games, one almost complete mini-game, and two planned ones that I'm working on.

Walkthrough

The walkthrough was updated this week, in case you missed it. You can find it here. 

Q&A

I also posted a Q&A post where you can submit your questions. 

I have been reading your questions and writing answers to them this week. Given the many questions in the post, I have enough to write the Q&A session. So, if you have more questions, now's the time to enter them. I will remove the post next week and later post my answers for all patrons.Update: Post is removed, thanks for submitting your questions.

Polls

The first poll for Episode 10 will be live this weekend. I figured we start with a bang and do the popular special render poll for the main girls.

Like Josy and Jill got a special render series in Episode 9, this time, it's either Isabella, Maya, or Sage who will receive one in episode 10.

Sign up as a DIK tier ($10) patron or above to participate.

Have a nice weekend
