Progress Report #100 - Yep, a delay after all (Patreon)
Content
Hey lads!
Sorry about a really late notice, but both update v31 & public release v30 are postponed. Releasing the game on multiple platforms is harder than I thought, also law has changed, so last days I didn't even have time to work on the update due to all the paperwork I'm doing, and for majority of it I have a deadline tomorrow. Also had to go to hospital in Warsaw with my daughter and strained my body big time in the process, so had to rest a bit. Anyway, since I've lost around a week, the game is also postponed by one week - July 14th. Sorry about that.
Ok, so regarding progress, I'll be adding some events for Ben, one of it will be confession to Jane, so they can become a pair and after that there will be the first sex event with Ben. There will be something for Rick, too. Basically, Jane can now order pizza and I added big event for it with multiple choices and outcomes. Concept is a mix of Taxi & Metro events. It will change based on Ben/Rick being a flatmate and having a boyfriend, and also on pizzeria's reputation. There's an event with new a neighbor as well - Brandon.
I know I promised 4 possible boyfriend choices for v31, but tweaking v30 took longer than I thought + I have a real shitstorm in real life currently. So for now you can only boyfriend Ben after triggering his event with high reputation. But I also added a new backstory - Fiancée, where Jane will start with a permanent fiancé, locking her out from having a boyfriend, ever. It's for people who want to start NTRing from the day one.
I'm going through multiple dialogues injecting (mostly NTR) quotes to them, so you can imagine how much work that requires, especially when I don't have any special list to help me find them, I'm going through tons of dialogues looking for these events blindly. As explained earlier, it will scan Jane's stats, choices, relationships and so on, and pick one quote randomly from all the quotes that meet requirements. Over time I will populate the game with more and more quotes. I'm not talking about randomly generated dialogues, but a few bonus quotes per event, both for Jane and NPC. For example something simple like Jane admiring/despising a man's dick based on its size/shape and her LW stat, or a man complimenting Jane's breasts based on their size or his personality type etc., but also more complex stuff like feeling guilt over cheating on her boyfriend.
There will be some quality of life changes, fixes, additions and so on. Not sure how much I'll be able to add, since my main focus are quote system and pizza event. As always, I'll add more content as the part of v31 update in the upcoming weeks, together with bugixes.
From the cool stuff - 45 degree front angle is officially in the works! Can't give you any real ETA on it (it's more like end of the year), but I'll spam with sneakpeaks once I have something to show. Talked with my artist and he agreed to do it next, but it's a really huge feature, since we have tons of art that need to be ported to new angle, I need to prepare game for this feature and my artist isn't working solely for me, while we still have other stuff to add for the game.
Btw. since it's summer time and people are going on holidays, I too decided to take some time off and spend time with my family. Due to my health, I can't really leave my home and go somewhere, so I'll be just taking some time off from the project randomly during July/August, but will let you know exact dates before that happens. Most likely end of July.
Cheers!
EDIT: I don't want to stress more than I already have, so I further delay the release by 2 days, thus July 16th, lads. Sorry about that and thank you for understanding.
