House Party 0.7.0 Status and New Development Pipeline Details (Patreon)

Hey guys,

I think at this point I've pretty much wrapped up everything I needed to do to facilitate the Steam launch, so now all of my effort is going into getting an Alpha version of 0.7.0 into your hands.

As you've seen from previous posts, we've already done some work toward 0.7, including modeling Vickie Vixen, so from here out we will be introducing new story and sex mechanics.

Also slated for 0.7 are enhancements to the "give" option so that we can facilitate the vast number of items in the house that we are now able to pick up.

I also wanted to clarify the pipeline of how new releases will go.  There is now a beta option on Steam, but it's not the same as being a beta here on Patreon.  The Patreon "Beta Testers" will get access well before the builds go to the Steam beta branch.  Here's how the new pipeline of development will go.

Alphas will receive the new story and content First

Alphas will get continued updates until we are done adding content for the build version.

Patreon Beta Testers get access next to the beta version until the version is stable.

The last minor version will be specifically for Steam.  It won't be any different content-wise, but a few modifications need to happen with the build for Steam.  For instance, you guys have 0.6.3, and 0.6.4 is on Steam, but those builds are identical save for some menu changes for Steam.

And that's about the gist of it.  I just didn't want any of my betas here to get confused if they see the beta announcement on Steam.  That is strictly for staging new versions to Steam, but only after they've been thoroughly tested by my Beta Testers here.

We're looking at having 0.7.0 ready within the next couple of weeks.  Looking forward to getting back into development now that all the launch stuff is over!
