Narrative design update! ๐ (Patreon)
Content
Greetings Spice Seekers! ๐ฑโ๐
If you haven't played the recent release - go and try it right now!
We've got tons of feedback and we are improving for you! This one is a lot of text so brace yourself! ๐
So, what is it all about? Writing update of course.
As mentioned in the recent devlog we are now outlining the rest of the game and writing the continuation! But we've received a lot of opinions from you Seekers, and from our friendly neighbourhood writers and narrative designers and we are doing some improvements since now on!
So, what is going to change?
We realized there is too little dating in our dating sim game. Since we have relationship building implemented, this will be added!
It takes too long to get to the smut. And we already developed ideas for alternative ways of feeding your gorgeous eyes with beautiful and spicy views ๐
The sex scenes were a bit too difficult with the skill based and kind of agility based keyboard smashing - we've got voices that they should be more relaxed and more rewarding, which we tested with Nova's scene, and apparently this new mechanic is here to stay! We will update all the other sex scenes to match the latest mechanics update, making our sex scenes a reward rather than a challenge! ๐ฎ
The current minigames are not very hot. We got it, and we won't make this mistake anymore: we have new and better ideas about how to make future ones easier and more entertaining, but most importantly, MUCH SEXIER. ๐ฅ
We will be adding side and non-romance related stories - right now the story is pretty much on rails, and we kind of forced it due to the number of the scenarios available to avoid getting locked in the game. This is not the intended end result and we want to give you more freedom to roam around, explore and get to know more about the world we've built for you! ๐ป
The game shall be more interactive - we do have mechanics that listen to the things you say and choices you make, but we don't use the consequences of those choices enough........ YET. Because we are soon going to change that! ๐
With the update to the sex mechanics we are also updating the approach to Eromancy - it won't relate to skills anymore, but it will now be rather a feature to be explored in romance and stories. We shall give you more details about this in the future! ๐ฎ
Apart from that we are doing some tiny tweaks to NPCs personalities to make sure they are more interesting and multidimensional. But we will skip details so that you can discover them by yourself! ๐
We are giving a stronger agenda to the main character. This was already planned before but we didn't want to spoil stuff with half cooked storyline - you should see pretty soon what is he all about! ๐
We will get more roaming around, discovering stuff and peeking in scenarios. More things happening on the map for you to choose from! Not everything based on dialogues only! ๐บ๏ธ
We are of course adding romance paths for Eris, Farah and soon, we are going to introduce a new NPC!!! So stay tuned!! โค๏ธ๐โค๏ธ
So what's next?
Recently we have changed the workflow and pipeline in which the story and game design is being conceived, and with this internal update, and with the help of our writers, we have begun this way more efficient way of bringing Soulgasm to life!
This is our very first game after all, and we are learning a lot through errors and mistakes; regardless, we feel very confident and excited about the next steps and about introducing new characters and stories for you to explore!!
Hope you agree with these changes, and if you have more suggestions, please let us know! (I mean it, please do). We want to make the best game we possibly can for you ๐๐๐
xoxo,
