0.15 Progress Report — Week 5: Four Days Out (Patreon)

v0.15 drops Wednesday!

This is the last progress report before release.

UI OVERHAUL

Zachari has rebuilt two of the game's most-used interfaces from scratch.

Crossroads V2 — Every major decision point in the game now supports number-key navigation, hover previews that explain what each choice involves before you commit.

Bodies Selection V2 — The partner picker for sex scenes has been redesigned with gender, ethnicity, and age filtering, multiple sort options, re-roll limits, and an auto-fill button for players who'd rather let the game decide. It's faster, cleaner, and shows you more about each character before you choose.

Not just cosmetic changes -- improving your experience!

NEW IN THE DOSSIER

Your dossier now tracks fertility status with new visual indicators. If Claire's cycle matters to her — or to you... This ties into a broader pregnancy awareness system dropping in v0.15: a purchasable pregnancy test at the pharmacy, morning sickness as a first-trimester event, and the dossier surfacing what you need to know without making you guess.

138 total vote selections across all current supporters. Unfortunately we had 17 people vote who left, so we had to discount their votes. =(

We had roughly a 22% participation rate -- if you aren't seeing your choices reflected, you could have shifted the tides!So...for 0.16, expect to see:

Edge Play: knives, belts, restraints, and the scenes that use them. Group Encounters adds multi-partner that haven't been very prevalent in existing content.

These will shape the next development cycle. Thank you to everyone who voted.

THE LDR THREAD

One more thing that's in the build: if Claire left someone behind — a boyfriend, a girlfriend, a person she promised she'd come back to — they're texting now.

Five messages across Act I, day-gated, responsive to what Claire's been doing in Manila. Whether she's been faithful, whether she's been honest, whether she's been answering at all. The phone buzzes. Their name appears. And what she does with it matters.More to come... =)

EARLY ACCESS — VETERAN SUPPORTERS

v0.15 releases on a staggered schedule. If you've been supporting Blue Swallow for three months or more, you get it first.

May 28 — Handler and Agency Chief (3+ months) May 30 — Sudden Agent (3+ months) June 1 — Dossier (3+ months) June 2 — All supporters

If you qualify for early access but aren't on our Discord, here's how to claim it: join the Discord, send me a DM with your username, and I'll add your veteran role manually. That role is what unlocks the early-access channel. Do this before May 28 so you're ready when the build goes live!

If you're already on Discord with the right role, you don't need to do anything. It'll be there.

WEDNESDAY

Release day. Full change log (there's more than what I've been reporting). The biggest update we've ever shipped.

This build has been five weeks of work across the entire team. Nine content workstreams. Thousands of lines of new and retrofitted content. Two complete UI rebuilds. Systems that didn't exist five weeks ago. And a romance arc that I think is going to surprise you.

Download links for 0.15 will drop on June 2. Access before for our vets on the Discord.
