0.17 Progress Report (Patreon)

August 2 — Public 0.15. Free build, streamlined Prologue that incorporates all updates and improvements that went live with 0.15.2. (No HD art, animations, etc)

August 5 — Early access to 0.17 opens for veteran supporters.

THE GAME LOOKS BETTER

Twenty-five new pieces of passage art are in.

LewdPirate is also building out the doll. More bits and pieces to make your Claire yours.

Art is the slowest thing to make and the fastest thing to notice. But we're adding what we can when we can!

DATU

Last report promised the honeypot extension. It's being written now.

Claire's been circling this one since she got to Manila, and the thing about getting closer to a man like Datu is that proximity doesn't buy you clarity. She's further in than she's ever been and less certain of the ground than she was at the start. What he wants from her, what he's already worked out about her, what the evening is actually for — none of that gets easier to read from the inside.

THE PROLOGUE KEEPS GETTING CLEARER

Last week it was a partial University and Prom pass. This week it's tooltips.

The Prologue has a lot of outcomes buried in it — traits, skills, whole vignette branches that depend on choices you made three scenes earlier without knowing they mattered. Plenty of players have never seen them, not because they played wrong, but because they weren't sure how to get them.

We're hoping to fix that. Tooltips across the Prologue are being rewritten to actually signal what a choice feeds and what it takes to reach a given result. Less guesswork, more players finding the content that's already built.

BUGS

Thanks to masterjavier and hornyguy, who have been turning in reports all week and turning in good ones — reproducible, specific, the kind you can actually act on. Several fixes are already in.

As said last week: no hotfix is coming for 0.16. Nothing reported breaks a playthrough, so the repairs ride into 0.17 rather than getting scrambled into a patch.

ONE MORE THING

The supporter site is closer! Last kinks are getting worked out.

No date yet. When there is one, we'll let you know and love to hear your feedback!
