Dev Log #1 - 0.2
Hello and welcome all!
This is our very first Development Log and as such, we would like to take the chance to introduce ourselves!
I'm Momo-chi (on the right) and this is my partner Sa-chi (on the left)!
Sa-chi is the one behind everything art-related while Momo-chi handles writing and anything technical!
Now, without further ado, let's go over what we've been working on this week!
Events:
The prologue released a few days ago was a short introduction to our world and some of our characters. Moving on to Chapter 01 you can expect more events, more images, more lines, and more H!
Our current outline for the Chapter contains 15 new events (this number is tentative and could change as development continues) out of which 5 events will be done by the end of this week (Sunday).
No spoilers (unless you ask nicely~), but you can expect to see how our protagonist handles the sudden mess she finds herself in during the end of the prologue and what her first steps in building her new empire are!
Features:
As we continue working, there are a few features we would like to implement and also some that have been requested. In each Dev Log, we will try to give updates on their progress!
Replay Gallery - This is a classic for AVNs and one we were planning from the very start. Since the prologue had only one full H-scene, we decided to leave this feature to be implemented with Chapter 01 (more H-scenes~)! We have the foundation set up and once the main content for the Chapter is finished, we will work on the screens needed to make it functional.
Menu Image Picker - As the story progresses, we intend to have new menu images highlighting different characters or events, however, from experience, we know that sometimes one image is more liked than others or it features a character that you may prefer. We will be giving you the option to choose which image you want to see! We hope to have it implemented by the next update, but the new content is the priority!
Android Port - The first suggestion we received was to release an Android port. We replied that we have no experience with Ren'Py on Android which makes this require some extra effort. We will be looking into what is needed to make said port once the update is completed and polished. We agree that this port would be good for the game, but we don't want to make any promises we can't keep. Be on the lookout for more info later on~
Issues:
At the moment, no issues have been reported to us and we haven't detected any major issues that need to be tackled. As more updates are released, we hope to keep the known issues list empty, but if you find any be sure to let us know! We will make sure to point out the reported issues in the following Dev Logs and work to fix them before new updates!
Future:
Currently, we plan to release one Dev Log and a few Preview Images per week, always on Fridays. That's subject to change but we will notify you if so.
We do not have a schedule defined for when the next update will drop. However, we are working to release it before June is over.
Lastly, we decided that Supporter benefits would start from Chapter 02. What does that mean? It means that Dev Logs and Preview Images will be posted publicly until Chapter 01 is released. Said update will be public from the get-go as well. Afterwards, we will respect the benefits defined in the different Support Tiers.
This is it for our Dev Log #1!
It turned a bit lengthy since we had much to discuss, but we will try to keep the next ones streamlined through the different topics.
We hope you all enjoyed it!
Until next time~
