Dev Log #145 - Exclusivity! (Patreon)

Hi all! I hope everyone's doing great! Let's get right into the dev log!Development updateOver the last two weeks, I have completed three story-related scenes along with one lewd scene. The remaining workload is still plentiful, and I understand that the wait has been long for everyone eagerly awaiting the next update.While I did mention previously that the weekly progress updates I used to do in the past tend to stifle creativity and did lead to my last burnout, I do think there has been a good amount of time that has elapsed since the last one and the least I can do without being too spoiler-y is to show the progression on various development areas.Story: 60%. With the opening and trajectory now confirmed through multiple re-writes and structuring, there is a clearer grasp here of what I have to deliver.Dialogue: 55%. Keeping in the spirit of the characters and their personalities along with player choice, the aim here is to maintain scene variety on every path the player happens to be on.Gameplay: 50%. While some free-roams may have a unique aspect to them, the general structure remains the same.With all that said, I have also built on the newer dialogue mechanic described last devlog, promoting it to something now called "Exclusive Choices"!

As many player-made choices in Cara in Creekmaw affect the story and what you see as a result, it only makes sense that certain dialogue options for Cara are unique to your playstyle. Some exclusive choices may be enabled simply from you supporting a certain character, others may require that support together with seeing... particular scenes that involve another's downfall.Not all exclusive choices are made equal, and some demand that you pave Cara's way in a darker (or lighter!) path. Either way, you can't be too sure of what might happen if you choose to pursue these exclusive dialogue options!--------------------------------------------I will continue to work on progressing through the different workloads mentioned above in the progression update, as well as look to share more of what's in the works whenever a new devlog is around the corner! Do stay tuned!As always, stay safe and healthy!
