Sunbay City - BETA 1.9.6 - Release notes (Patreon)
Content
Hi everyone and Thank you Patrons for your great support!
Game Build 1.9.6 Is Finally Here!
P.S. I finally fixed the bug caused by integrating the new subsystems.The problem turned out to be related to working with dynamic data tables inside one of the subsystems, which could cause a random crash after the game had been running for some time. That issue is now fixed, so it should not happen anymore — and that is a huge relief.
Now, on to the main topic:
Behind the scenes of Build 1.9.6.
Whew, this was a long run, longer than I had planned, but I am very happy that it is finally over.
Several new subsystems have been integrated into the game’s core, and all future updates will be built on top of them. Two of them are especially important: Dorm Watch and Move-In.
Move-In will handle everything related to setting up and developing the dorm, while Dorm Watch will focus on the girls who move in.
Dorm Watch also serves as the new quest system, since the previous one had become so overloaded that it no longer allowed me to add new quests. For Bella’s quest, I added a temporary working solution, but it has already been replaced with the new system.
This build brings together and completes months of deep work on the story, game design and gameplay mechanics, character development, dorm design and modeling, coding, and debugging.
So much work has been done since the release of Build 1.9.5 that I can confidently say future updates will be released much more frequently — and the next one is already coming at the end of this month!
Two releases in August!
The subsystems are still a very new addition, so before connecting the rest of the quests and assets to them, I still need to make sure they do not cause any problems for you.
Sam Walsh, the game designer behind Pretty Mia Desires, helped me with the game design for the women’s dorm. Together, we completed my initial concepts and prepared the materials needed for the transition from Beta to Alpha, which is planned for late fall or possibly earlier.
As part of that work, the entire building and dorm grounds were updated, along with the girls, their unique personalities and appearances, the storylines, and much more.
In this release, Mike helps two girls, Amanda and Bella, move into the dorm. Bella’s quest was released earlier, but now she will finally have a place to live.
The next release will introduce the previously announced Room 202, where Lisa and Cassie will be moving in.
So, what is included in this release?
This build is mainly focused on introducing the game’s central theme: Mike and the women’s dorm.
Alongside the new quest system, everything related to the dorm will be handled through two apps: the Move-In app and the Dorm Watch app.
Move-In App
This is the first public release of the system responsible for all the changes Mike makes to the dorm.
In this build, he prepares Room 204 for the new residents. The system includes several stages, but only the first one is available in this release.
The remaining stages will be introduced in future builds, including Build 1.9.7.
Dorm Watch App
This is the app where the girls living in the dorm send their requests to Mike.
It could be a simple request for help, or something that turns into a sexual adventure.
The system has many stages and is closely tied to the storylines. I deliberately decided against procedurally generated tasks (sorry, Todd Howard) and instead wrote individual quests for all eight girls who will appear in the upcoming updates. The quests for four of them are already finished, while the other four are in the final stages of development.
This build introduces the first quest for the first girl, Amanda.
P.S. Lisa (the girl next door) has once again been moved to a future release because her quest has been expanded and is now being developed into something as substantial as Bella’s.
Additional Features
Find Me (Love Radar) App
Horny girls are waiting to be found and fucked. In this app, they post photos that Mike can use to track them down by identifying the location in the background.
Beach Gym
Mike can now train his biceps and become stronger. Building up his arms will help him impress the girls at the dorm, and once they are fully upgraded, he will be able to take down an opponent with a single punch (this feature is still in development)
What’s Coming in Build 1.9.7
Amelia’s quest (Act 3/3)
New content for the Dorm Watch app, including the previously announced Road Events
Beauty Salon functionality
New content for the Move-In app, featuring the next two girls moving into the dorm, including Lisa — the girl next door.
