Dev Diary #61 (Patreon)

Hey! I'm alive.

I'm going to be quite direct in this DD because I'm afraid that while I'm writing I'm going to be cut off or something...

I'm going to make a public post explaining my situation with my internet problems but it seems to have "stabilized".

Right now I just came back from returning the new router I bought a few days ago... Time wasted trying to configure it to end up discovering that this brand (Asus) has a lot of compatibility problems when you are going to use it as the main router and not as an amplifier or a bridge (at least with my ISP)... The worst experience of my life related to home routers. I'm frustrated and pissed off because in my previous job, configuring routers and any kind of LAN/WAN-related devices was my day-to-day life (office).

Anyway... v8.5 is 98% ready. It was planned for today but for obvious reasons that's impossible. I'll put a list of what I have pending to do and plan to finish it this weekend:

• Finish the intro renders (redo some of them and some will be completely new).
• Inside the intro, there is a scene with Patricia that will happen in the shower and from there you will go to the bedroom (not sex but something interesting).
• Check whether or not to redo Maria's renders during the first two quests (just before Mara moves to the Manor). Almost 100% I'll redo them because currently sprites are used and it looks a bit weird.
• Make the screen to choose the difficulty (currently, the difficulty won't be chosen until you agree to become an Aspirant).
• Make the 0.5 of 2-3 parts related to ranks. This means that to avoid as many bugs as possible I'm going to change how the rank system works, at the moment I'm going to change a bit how to get proof of trust. It's not very different from the current one, the big difference is that I plan that any level of trust from any girl will give you 1 proof of trust so you can have more freedom in this aspect. I have to revise how the image in the rank section will be displayed but this shouldn't take too long.

And nothing else, well, yes, translate all the intro and first quests.

Anyway... It's been fun as well as overwhelming to do all this, especially these last few days because I've been just checking texts and rewriting... A fucking mess.

I hope that soon my internet problem will be solved and I can get back to my normal pace because it's really frustrating to have to be more worried about if I'm going to have internet or if things are going to work well instead of being focused on working...

See you soon!
