General Update about Progress and Direction for v0.06a (Patreon)
Content
Whimfu1 here.
Getting to this a little late in the day. Been busy with familial obligations and such. Let's talk about the game!
It's been a week since the public demo of Inc House v0.05a released. Since then, my efforts have been towards planning for version 0.06a and plans for the Patreon in general. Let's tackle the next demo’s content first. The big inclusion for this update will be introducing Ms. DiMartino as a secondary heroine. To fit her into the narrative I’m going to make her Luna’s manager at the bar. Which means there will be more story for Luna right after her major update but I think it makes the most sense.
I see this next update being more towards scenes with the NPCs. I think it would be good to include at least a level 1 scene with Ms. DiMartino and maybe a level 3 full sex scene with ThiccQT. I do worry that this gives too much side content compared to main heroines but I think it will work out.
Along with this I would like to make the Powers app functional. Maybe not to the level where you can cast a spell from it but at least descriptions and level details. I’m honestly struggling with what to do for the inventory app but I think I’ll need to change it to be something other than the black screen.
Now, let’s talk about the Patreon. Things have been going alright here. I think the 2nd NPC bracket was very successful from my perspective. I’m thinking of doing something similar for the 3rd NPC. I was considering starting it now but I think the gap will help and instead get a lineup ready 2 weeks before v0.06a releases. This would be the last promised NPC and once they are chosen then I’ll have to rework the Patreon. I’m weighing ideas at the moment but I think the best option would be to either pivot to non-story NPCs you can just have sex with or opening a Patreon only DLC side story.
Moving on, I’ve got the sketches done for 2-3 pages of the comic I promised. I think a fourth page would round it off but I may have to just produce those 3. I’m going to have a lot of art to start as the wavy design was selected for Ms. DiMartino. I don't really have a timeline for the comics. I was thinking of trying to do 1 page a week but perhaps a batch release would be better.
Lastly, I’m gonna prepare a rather detailed gameplay poll to be released tomorrow. In it, I’ll talk about things that I think can improve the game based on player feedback I’ve previously received. It will include things like: add more text based story content, go in on including a large amount of NPCs, less story more sex scenes, add more mini games, remove this feature. It will be more of a survey vote but I want it to be rather large, maybe 6 options or more.
I’ve started to ramble so I’ll let you go. Tier specific polls will be coming out as my ideas coalesce so watch out for that. Thanks for all the support and have a good one.
