Progress Report #99 - Possible delay of v31 (Patreon)

Hey lads!

First of all, I'm sorry, but the chances of me releasing v31 still in June are becoming slimmer and slimmer. Theoretically I can release what I already have, but it will feel pretty unfinished and rushed, and I'm sure that none of you would want that. Don't know yet if I need a few days more or over a week, will let you know as I get closer to the release.

Aside for the new content in v31, I still have to deal with new features, old (and new) bugs, prepare my game for the public release, and then I have some legal stuff to take care of, since I want to release the game on other platforms. And that all has to be done by me and me alone. Currently I'm crunching like crazy, there's a lot of stuff to take care of, and it's hot as hell.

So, I'm gonna expand my project onto other platforms - SubscribeStar, Steam and itch.io. Already created accounts, paid fees, signed papers and so on. Now I'm waiting for acceptance, and I still need to prepare all the info for pages, set them up, configure etc. I didn't make my mind up in 100% yet on how monetization of these platforms will look like, though. I'm still brainstorming and will let you know later. Nothing will change on Patreon, it will stay exactly the same as it was. I'm just making it easier for you to support me, since I've heard many times that Patreon doesn't allow your payment methods.

v30k is mostly bug-free and playable, but I'll still release v30l with bug fixes sometime around end of June or beginning of July - and that will be it for v30, no more bug fixes. Unless something really gamebreaking happen.

Regarding the v31 progress, I kinda had to change the concept for balcony's neighbor (1st screen). Initially, I wanted it to be something like a party flat with no unique NPCs, but all random. So each time Jane meets someone on the right balcony it's some total stranger just attending friend's party, but it felt too similar to glory hole and other future ideas, thus I scrapped the idea. I'm gonna add new unique character - Brandon. Gonna use it in some exposure & NTR events in the future, like cheating on Ben/Rick with your neighbor.

In v31 Jane will be able to enter her flatmates' rooms and talk to them, what will open new possible interactions and events in the future. In similar way she will be able to call and meet other important characters, like Albert. It will also make grinding reputation (whether positive or negative) for them easier.

I also plan to update remaining cum effects, together with cum on body, and add them still as a part of v30 (because why not?).

And I finished working on the core for "injection" of random quotes during dialogues. So the logic works, but I need to create database. How will it work? More or less, I create a big database of various sentences that characters would say in different situations, set requirements for each of them to trigger, then in the dialogue I mark a sentence to inject those quotes, and it will search through them all to find a proper one to load. I mainly want to use it during NTR dialogues/thoughts (so they change based on her current BF), while commenting on Jane's body (tits size) or some other minor stuff that I find suitable (whether Jane has home or did something in the past). It should make my life a bit easier while making complex dialogues when a lot of stuff can alter them. Although don't expect miracles with its early version.

P.S. We are 1 post away from magnificent #100 and also 1 post away from official game release. Coincidence?

Cheers!
