Hey, everyone!

So, in the previous progress update, I said the demo would be ready this week. Spoiler alert, it won't.

Two-faceted issue.

I overdid the number of renders for the reworked Party scene. It's not 130 renders. It will probably be closer to 230.

Underestimated the amount of time things will take. Rewriting, testing, and looking for music. I mean, the music part is very slow. But for me, music is very important.

So, everything's going as usual. Nothing new here. :D

Anyway. I'm hopeful that next week I'll be done. Another thing is, I'm remaking several renders in some scenes. But I go in chronological order. I edit one scene, rewrite things, notice something problematic, then I make the renders. The total number of remade and new renders is likely to be over 300 or even closer to 400. Not done with editing just yet, so we'll see.

Anyway, the story will stay the same, but I want to improve the delivery method (improve dialogue, remove filler renders and text, add renders where the story needs it), and this is part of a larger plan to go over the rest of the episode and make it 'better'. I'm not the same creator I was when I first started. I've learned a lot and have new insights. But I'll do that in parallel to the creation of the new episodes. After all, editing the work is what every self-respecting writer should do.

I'll say that this edited/reworked Episode 1 is definitely worth a replay. to see all the changes, the updated dialogues and the lewd scene. I'm going to try to set it as a new standard going forward (Both in reworking old episodes and new content). Obviously, all your input is important, so if you think something needs some change, or is lacking, or you like the changes made, be sure to let me know. :)

You guys are awesome!

They say that if you remember a childhood game as being really good, it's best to just hold onto the nostalgia and not play it again, because if you tried it today, you'd realise how bad it was. From experience, I'd say that's about 50% true. I still really enjoy some games from the '90s, even though they're pixelated, but others have aged terribly 🙂. What is the point I'm trying to make here? I remember the beginning of this game having great graphics and being very long, although that was probably because the chapters were crammed together 😅. I haven't played the intro for years, but I remember it being great. I discovered this game (FC9) once it had already been completed up to Chapter 6. When I started playing, I realised that it was an easy-to-follow sandbox game. I also noticed that the stats you chose at the beginning didn't seem to matter because there was almost no role-playing. I remember being surprised when I realised that I had played for more than four hours without a single sex scene, yet I was still having a great time. I was captivated by the pacing, the relaxing music and the action scenes, as well as the gradual unravelling of the plot. I don't recall there being chapter breaks. In other words, there was no warning when Chapter 2 started. For me, therefore, the first chapter is the beginning: meeting the two best friends, the countryside, the father's arrest and the start of the drug drama. I vaguely remember the clandestine party where Annika first appeared. I remember declining Mila's invitation to the bathroom, thinking she deserved better. Then Mila disappeared from the game for many chapters and hours without explanation 🤣. Did we already know Calista in the first chapter? In short, I definitely remember the beginning being excellent, so this rework must live up to expectations. But I know the experienced Onyx will do a good job 😉. My best wishes 🫡!

Hmm. You bring up a good point regarding the roleplay and attributes. I may have to rename the system. It’s more clearly described now when you first choose the attributes, but the original idea was more indepth, now I keep it around as a means of chosing MCs persona in certain conversations. Perhaps that is not exactly roleplay. More like dialogue flavor. Thanks for the insight. Appreciate it a lot. :) I totally get your point about nostalgia. 😄

I don't remember the exact details, but I recall there being four or five stats. I spent about 10 minutes thinking about which ones to raise, as you couldn't be good at everything 😅. At the time, I thought you could keep levelling them up throughout the game, not just at the beginning. In the end though, they weren't that important, you could still progress the story just as well. It's good to know they were used for the dialogue. Who knows how many conversations I missed because of the stats I had? 😶‍🌫️😄.
