January Update

Hello Everyone,

Here is the January update. First of all, the new update will be available in a few days. We reworked the sprite system to allow us to script dialogs faster, make sprites more expressive and look better, and save space on disk. However, this also requires extensive testing to ensure everything works correctly before we release the update.

Another thing we've worked on last week is a new major scene with Chloe. It includes three variants (romantic, femdom, maledom), and your past choices influence the text in each.

We also wrote many main story dialogues. Still, it'll be around two weeks before we put them in the game – simply because we have to write a lot of variants and alternative scenes based on players' past choices. We want to release all routes at the same time, so no players are left behind simply because they picked choices that weren't implemented in the update.

However, not everything goes as smoothly as we'd like. Our animator had their laptop stolen, which delayed some animations. Our lead artist got sick at the start of the year and just got back to work this week. And worst thing of all, we lost contact with our editor for over a month now. Not having the editor will delay the final release by a few weeks, as our writers will have to do the final edit pass themselves before we send the dialogue to voice actors. We'll let you know the final release date in the February update.

We'll update our scenes schedule next week once we have a better understanding of our workload.
