General Update #74 (Patreon)
Content
Hey there everyone!
We have some updates to share with you on our progress with the games.
Starwatch Academy
We've made further progress on the rework of the Among the Stars maid cafe. While we've spent time on updating many of the visuals, as you can see above, that is not all that is being done.
Maki was the only staff member you could interact with up until now, and with this update we're adding two new named maids, Ayane the head maid, and Cassandra a fellow junior maid.
In addition to that, there is now a chance for named characters you know like Curie, Dr. Daniella or Zara to show up as customers during your maid shifts.
For these characters, we are using the same approach as what we did with the Gym, with a series of story events that continue over time, rather than random scenes that repeat forever.
Overall, we're close to being done with the content for this first phase of the cafe rework, after which we'll fully switch our focus on to the new planet Oasis.
Silent Echo
We hope you had fun with the early access version!
Now that we've gotten the talent tree rework out as well as continued our characters reactivity to the ongoing events, we can properly turn our attention to the Crimson Grove.
Initially when we arrived on Pandora, we talked about how the new planet gives us place to play around with new ideas, and while we've expanded the lore of the xenomaterial creatures nicely so far, there are other things we are looking to explore on Pandora.
If you have visited the entrance of the grove in the Early Access version, then you might already have an idea of where things are headed. Perhaps the xenomaterial is not the only thing you should fear out there.
We will give you more news soon about the grove and the other things we plan to bundle into update 0.4.5.That's it for this week!Have fun!
