Transparency report #4

Hey guys!  It’s 8.26PM and my brain is mush.  🤪  I wanted to finish the thing I was working on then report, but I am sticking to Monday transparency. 

Last week I said I was waiting for feedback on that week’s “Test 3”, which had just dropped – this was more of a hit and everybody seemed to like it.  (ENF is popular with more than just Javier R it seems 😂)

I ended last week’s report by saying I was going to try to streamline the design, which I felt wasn’t working in my test playthroughs (and was getting mixed feedback from testers).  I did that, and have been working this week on:

• Adding decision points that didn’t previously exist.  These are crucial for making the game feel less like a slideshow and more like a game.

• Based on tester feedback I rewrote an important NPC relationship, (basically to make him less of a dick, which was actually undermining the heroine’s likeability for being into such a douchebag).

• Took out a sex scene that wasn’t really working, and replaced it with a totally new one.

• Got partway through reintegrating a popular Lifepath scene I wanted to cut, but testers wanted me to keep; we’ll see. 🧐

• Pushed this all out for testing and feedback.

I’m working flat out 😩 I need to crash now.  Thanks everybody for the patience and support, I’ll get straight back on it in the morning.  ❤️‍🔥🦀
