Roadmap - What's missing for the release of v0.3.0 (Patreon)

Hi guys!
Today we are here to provide a little more clarification regarding what has been done so far and what remains to be done so that we can launch v0.3.0.

First, let's list everything that is planned to be implemented in v0.3.0:

• Introductory dialogs for this version (100% Done)
• Exploration Mode Parts (100% Done)
• Photo Studio Mode (100% Done)
• Bartender Work Chapter (80% Done)
• Sex Scene 1 (Luna and Veronika)
• Sex Scene 2 (Luna and Erika)
• Ingame Walkthrough Mod
• Steam Achievements
• English dialog correction (20% Done)
• Portuguese Translation

Now that we've laid out the list, let's take it topic by topic and elaborate a bit more.

===========//===========

Introductory dialogs for this version:

As usual, each version will bring a new ingame day and this one will be no different.

This new version will bring the 4th day ingame and, as always, it starts with Beatrice talking to the main character and passing on what must be done that day.

All these dialogues is already 100% done.

Exploration Mode Parts

As in the previous days, on the 4th day ingame there will also be the Exploration Mode part.

We decided to take it easy this time and implement only the essentials for the continuation of the story that day, as we prefer to invest this time in more important things.

All parts related to Exploration Mode are already 100% done.

Photo Studio Mode

This is our new game mode, which will be present from v0.3.0 onwards.

In this mode it'll be possible to take pictures of several girls wearing several different sexy clothes.
These photos will be part of the main story as they'll be posted on the forum to help promote the brothel.

At this start, there'll be 2 girls available (Luna and Veronika), and 2 sexy outfits available for each one. All photos that will be present have already been implemented.

In addition to the mode itself, a new Photo Studio mode Tutorial has also been implemented to familiarize players with the mechanics of this new mode.

All content related to Photo Studio mode is already 100% done.

Bartender Work Chapter

This part is what we are working on now and it's already 80% done.

As usual, there'll be 2 customers.
One of them is Thomas and he'll tell you his story.
This is our way of merging Escort Forum content into the game's story.
He'll tell the story of what leads a client to enter this world of brothels and look for escorts.
In addition to previously published content from Escort Forum, new, never-before-released content will also be included that will flesh out Thomas' story a bit more and make it more cohesive with the main story of Living in a Brothel.
This part is already 100% done.

The other customer is what still needs to be done, but this part will be quick, as the main focus of this day's work at the bar will be Thomas's story, so soon we'll finish 100% this part.

Sex Scene 1 (Luna and Veronika)

This first sex scene will involve Luna and Veronika, and will only be accessible if you gave the Cosplay Kitty to Veronika on the 2nd day.

It'll be a sex scene in which the two girls will be wearing their respective cosplays, something that should have been included in the first version, but we ended up leaving it for the next version due to lack of time.

This is one of the parts that still needs to be done, so at the moment it's 0% done.

Sex Scene 2 (Luna and Erika)

The 4th day of ingame will focus primarily on customers.

Thomas will tell what leads a client to enter the world of brothels and Erika will show what it's like to be a client who frequents brothels in practice.
As this is a female customer, you'll be invited to join in and fulfill her desires.

This is one of the parts that still needs to be done, so at the moment it's 0% done.

Ingame Walkthrough Mod

This is one of our plans for this version and we haven't revealed it until now.

We receive a lot of messages from users who get lost in the game or have problems passing a certain part.
Because of this, we decided to create a mod that adds the walkthough ingame, in the Replay section.

When you reach the last page of the Scenes section, you can move to the next page and be taken to the Walkthrough session.
This will work similarly to the Scenes section and each part of the Walkthrough will be separated by a different scene that you can click on if you want a little help with that ingame section.
For those who have already played, it'll be a system similar to that of The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time 3D.

This will be a mod that will be sold separately for $4, however, for our Patrons, it'll be available as a reward for the Brothel Customer tier, without having to pay anything extra.
We prefer to do it this way, as some users prefer to play without a walkthrough, as this can spoil part of the experience.
So anyone who wants help can download and install the mod separately.

An interesting bonus about the ingame walkthrough is that it'll also receive a Portuguese translation, as this is one of the features that the game offers.

This is one of the parts that still needs to be done, so at the moment it's 0% done.

Steam Achievements

That's Steam's achievement system and we'll have to adapt the game to that.

Maybe we'll also add an ingame achievement system so that non-Steam users can also access it, but that's something we haven't decided yet on whether to include it or not, as it'll depend on how much time we have left for that.

This is one of the parts that still needs to be done, so at the moment it's 0% done.

English dialog correction

As mentioned in previous posts, some users complained about the game's dialogues in English, as it needs to go through some grammatical corrections.

A patron has kindly volunteered and has been helping us with this, but some unforeseen events have occurred and we ended up not proceeding as much as we would have liked with this.

We'll include any corrections we can get right up until the release, but it'll not stop us from releasing the game as soon as it's done.
So it may be that, even after the v0.3.0 release, the work on correcting the English dialogues will continue.

This is one of the parts that still needs to be done, so at the moment it's only 20% done.

Portuguese Translation

As the game also supports the Portuguese language, this is a step we always need to do before releasing.
As we are going through English grammar corrections, it's smarter to do this part last to avoid rework.

At the moment, only the parts that didn't have their dialogue modified and were already translated in previous versions are done.

All the parts that are being rewritten in English will need to be translated, plus all the new content, including the content that was merged from the Escort Forum and the walkthrough text, so it's going to be a lot of work.

We don't have an idea of the percentage of how much is done, since at any time, we may have advances in the work of grammatical corrections by our volunteer.

Extras (Work not related to game development)

In addition to what we've done with regard to development itself, progress has also been made on work not directly related to development.

One worth mentioning is the work in promoting the game on Steam.
As you already know, the Steam page is ready and the game is being prepared to be released there.

In addition to adapting the game to Steam's rules, we're also working on its promotion, sending the game to influencers so them can play it and spread it to their followers.
This was also one of the tasks that kept us busy lately.

We're laying the groundwork for things to go well down the road, both on Steam, Patreon and Itch, so that our current supporters also get a quality update.

===========//===========

I know this post was quite long, but we owe you, our dear Patrons, a more transparent accountability regarding the current stage of development of the game.

We'd also like to take this post to thank you for all your support, because without your help, we wouldn't have done everything we've done and gotten this far.

We'll do our best to bring you high quality content that you can enjoy.

That's all for today, folks!
Cheers! 🍻
