Devlog #39: State of the Game (Patreon)
Content
Well many people are enjoying it from the main story to Unfortunate Circumstances. I've received nothing but positive feedback and that's good news. I've been slammed lately at my IRL job but been making great progress and would like to share some things with you on this Devlog.
Animation 3.0
It's working and fully implemented. It has made scene loops from 3-4 seconds to 29s and is a major game changer. The scenes in .3 part 2 are made in this format and I'm beyond excited to share this content with you! Animated scene take a little longer but allow me so much more capability than what you normally get in an AVN.
Speaking of this, this leads me to what I'm working on now. H-scenes are not going to be just dialog, then animation looping, and then more dialog until the finale. The first scene with Animation 3.0 is like this but I found so much more usefulness in this new version I cannot ignore it. Build up scenes will not contain animations based on this architecture.
I can't reveal what it is but the first of these new scene architectures are involving the character Olivia. Nuff said on that.
The Next Release
I'm planning the next release, previously planned for this week to be this weekend. I'm sorry for the delay but quality of quantity is the name of the game and producing more quality content is what I'm aiming for. UC received an amazing response and I would like to double down on the storytelling and eroticism of that type of content since everyone loved it. Plus I want to get to new time jump to where you start to see the impacts of your 'efforts' with the girls.
Okay, so new release incoming this weekend! What's next?
Well, as you all know I make money from this project. Thanks to your generous contributions to support the game. It's tax season and I need to some time to get my taxes done and still work on the game. So here's what I've got planned.
First I will get the next version released. That much is obvious. Afterwards though...
I will be working on the next release while going back to .1 and .2 and upgrading the animations for the scenes to the quality level you will be about to experience. This will add a massive level of quality to previous scenes. I don't want to spoil the details but this will really bring up the quality of the scenes and something I know you guys want from your discord chats.
There will be no new side stories this month. That will be reserved for April. To balance this to the subscriber tiers, the new content will be released progressively from the $25 tier to the lower tiers for the new revision content.
We will resume the side stories next month but I don't want to promise something I cannot deliver and I know this month there will be too much going on to deliver a new side story.
The Wrap Up
We will be putting out the new version this weekend sometime as well as working towards the next throughout the month of March. During this time new releases of upgraded content will be published to the tiers favoring the higher tiers first and then flowing down.
What's in the Next Release?
Prologue Chapter 3 part 2 along with "Diane Chapter 1", "Meet the Robinsons Part2", and "A Girl Named Ruby" DLC to all supporters. "Unfortunate Circumstances" will be released to $10 supporters as well. Be on the look out.
Android Supporters
There is now two versions of the game being updated. One is specific to Android users but does not have the new Android UI which will remove the challenges of playing the game on the Android using Renpy basic scaling. This is an ongoing effort but will not be completed this month (most likely). It is something in work though.
The releases this month will be followed a few days or hours later by an Android release. Android releases will not be at the same time as MacOS or Windows releases but will be very soon after. The amount of work that goes into making a droid release is pretty massive so I'm not promising same day release due to this complexity. Droid releases will be a day or so behind main releases.
As always thank you for your support. This game wouldn't be possible without you!
