DEVLOG: What we've been up to. (NSFW) (Patreon)

Hey everyone! It's been a while since we've last made an announcement and we have a lot to share about what been in development. There's been quite a lot done since the last update, and we'd like to break it down in this development log!

1: Choices

Like we mentioned in the last devlog, we're putting in a complete revision of the current story path system in this new update. Every character new has their own story path, and they'll branch off in different ways. We've gone back and adjusted every dialogue choice, so now most choices will affect your relationships with the characters. We've marked these choices with colour corresponding icons for each character path.

Now, Cindy's character will now change with how you choose to play her. This will give players choice over what type of content Cindy will participate in. Depending on what choices you've made in the past, some choices will be locked, and others will open up. There will be completely different scenes on each path, so you'll have to do multiple playthroughs to be able to see every scene.

These choices will have consequences. Depending on how you progress through the story, character's relationships with Cindy with change, and if you want to keep characters happy, you might have to pick between them...

2: Story Changes

Of course, with new choices comes story changes. Now that Cindy's story depends on the player, we've overhauled the existing content in the game. Cindy will now be a much more active character in the story. Large segments of the opening have been changed, with the introduction of new characters and adjustments of old characters. This will expand the world a bit more, and allow Cindy to have opportunities to interact more with different characters.

Character backstories and personalities have also changed to make the story a bit more engaging and the characters a bit more 3D. We've focused in particular on the first 3 core characters: Cindy, Daniel, and Ada.

Our intention with Cindy at the start of development was to have an 'innocent' character and have her progress and get more and more perverted as the story goes on. However, we made a little TOO innocent at the start, to the point where she seemed almost completely clueless about anything. This created a jarring change whenever she entered a sex scene, since she'd become almost too slutty out of nowhere despite being completely unaware of sex beforehand.

Now, since players will control her actions directly, we've made her a bit more assertive. Of course, she's still relatively innocent, but she'll be just a touch more 'normal', i.e. she can have a conversation without getting completely flustered at the mention of sex.

Moving onto Daniel and Ada, we felt that their characters were a bit too inconsistent as well.

We felt Daniel lacked the intimidating factor that a dom would have. Oftentimes, he felt too relaxed and friendly, which wasn't the feeling we felt was right for his role. We've rewritten him to keep his charm, but he'll now be far stricter and commanding with Cindy and Ada.

Before, Ada was oftentimes the one who took charge, but now she will now take more of a right hand submissive role to Daniel, which we felt was more in line with the dynamic we intended. We've given them a whole new backstory and relationship to compliment this change and make them more interesting.

A side effect to this update is that we're temporarily removing the prologue chapter of the game, since players are no longer forced to pair with Daniel and Ada. It will be reworked and added to the next update in chronological order. If you still want to see the sex scene, it'll be kept in the scene replay.

3: Art Updates

Finally, as we're going through all of the existing content in the game, we've decided to also touch up the appearance of several character portraits, scenes, and animated sequences.

Check out some of the differences below:

We're still polishing up and testing all the new changes. It's been a longer wait than usual, but we'll hopefully have it out for you guys soon! Thanks for your continued support, it means the world to us :)
