School of Lust 0.4p1 Progress Report #4 (Patreon)

Hi everyone!

Less than a week left till the end of the month, so we wanted to give you all a quick update regarding the development of School of Lust 0.4.

We're still working on the new dating scene, or at least I (Lawina) am and the rest of the team is working on future updates, and while I've made a lot of progress, it's not fully ready yet for release. However, the good news is that it's about 80%-90% done, so expect the release any day now.

The reason the dating scene is taking so long is, because (as we explained in our previous posts) this is our first take on adding an interactive scene to School of Lust, and unfortunately it has proven to be more challenging to implement (to this engine) than we hoped 

ლ( ̅°̅ ੪ ̅°̅ )ლ - ahhh! it's never easy!

That said, this will act as a template for future dating scenes, and thus speed up the development progress for any future dating scenes of the other girls.

This is also a good time to report that the artwork for the next dating scene is fully done and consists of going to a dating spot with not 1, but 2 girls at the same time (threesome anyone?). We won't spoil anything about the next dating scene yet, but the artwork has close to 500 layers. It took our artist around 3 weeks, full-time, to finish. It's YUGE! Bigger than anything we've done so far.

We can't wait to show it off, but let's focus on the upcoming version 0.4 release first:

Due to most of the development time being spent on the dating scene, we were not able to finish most of the other things we had planned for this release (e.g. quests and continuation of the main story). So as stated previously, version 0.4. update will release partially, and as promised, we should be able to release it before the end of the month (unless something unexpected happens). We do want to do a short closed alpha testing before the release, so hopefully we will have it ready sooner than later.

I  (Lawina) can say that I'm currently working 18 hours a day to make sure that the promise of releasing it before the end of the month will be fulfilled!

 (◉⩊◉)  - I need mo coffee!

The update will be appropriately named 0.4p1, and 0.4p2 (or just 0.4) will release soon after (considering all the artwork and animations are fully ready to be implemented).

We will post the full changelog for version 0.4p1 soon, but the main content changes in the upcoming version 0.4p1 are as following:

4 New scenes (including the huge dating scene) - Featuring Flora, Sofia, Natalie and Violet

Ability to send the girls to the Hole to progress for you (and bring back any goodies)

That's it for now. As always, thank you for your patience and for your support. We will keep you updated during this week on the progress.

Cheers!

Lawina & Boner Team

PS: A warning for the few of you that don't use a mouse or trackpad to play the game; a mouse/trackpad will be required to interact during the initial release of the dating scene. We've done our best to have keyboard-only controls working in version 0.4p1, but it appears that we need to completely re-do the code to have it fully working. We'll have this fixed in the next release.
