Dev Blog #2
We're going to be doing small snippet news posts moving forward. 2-3 per month!
Evolution has moments of stagnation, and we are no exception. However, evolution also has no goal, and there is no benefit in continuing to evolve in an environment that no longer exists. SU has hit that point; Gotham is the pinnacle of that evolution. But we as a team no longer live in the Fungus/Unity environment; we have expanded to include Ren'py and standalone events. This has re-lit those evolutionary urges in the team, and we have been hard at work trying to close the gap on where we need to be.
New focus on Idea, and Design.
I keep saying that there has been more progress in the last 2-3 months than we have had in the entire existence of our Patreon. With our old work environment's ruthless efficiency, stagnation and systematic repeatable sequences were required. We are no longer bound by those constraints. We're slowly creeping ahead and freeing up more and more time for planning and design. With these changes, a new focus on player impact and team effort has emerged. This has already resulted in some tense but incredibly impactful discussions
For April, Themyscira content is the focus. The Halloween event will leave alpha (old content in Ren'py) and move to design & planning. Additionally, we will begin Gotham's move to Ren'py. As of right now, April's release is viable and on target; however, it's going to be very tight on time.
TL;DR : A shift in strategy to more frequent news updates and a new focus on planning and design due to expansion beyond our original development tools. This evolution has led to significant progress, with April's focus on Themysicra content and transitioning projects to Ren'py, aiming for a tight but viable release at the end of April.

I was wondering if the previous save would be incompatible with a future game update to Ren 'py, which means I have to unlock all the scenes in vault again?
Nope when we update the beta (ren'py) version this month your save should carry over!
I think it's healthy for you to switch to Ren'py, because it allows you to work on the game in a simpler and faster way. The game divided into several other smaller games allows you to work without worrying about the size of the game, makes it easier to find and fix bugs, and allows you to easily rotate content.
While you guys are doing great with the new stuff, do you have any plans on further updates or reworks for previously released content to bring it up to code, as it were?
We're doing that with events currently. This is the most efficient and targeted way we can get the content to you in a relevant time frame. To go back and re-do much older content would require a significant amount of time. So for now we're targeting events, and working on new content such as BoB2. For example to add content to the older parts of the game is very time consuming in the sense of art. SR7 would have to work to regress his quality which is incredibly difficult for little to no gain. On the next dev blog I will go in depth on these outcomes as we have had lots of internal conversations about this.
Bien que votre travail actuel soit tres aprécié, avez-vous l'intention de sortir un peu de votre model "Dance, bolwjob, pussy et anal" pour des scènes un peu plus originales?
Oui! Nous avons récemment discuté de la façon dont la formation/la corruption peut varier et comment cela devrait être une récompense, et pas seulement des scènes d'art. Désolé si la traduction est mauvaise, j'ai utilisé Google.
One question, in the future, will you be doing an event, Halloween or not, with Trigon and demoness Raven?
Once the Halloween content is in Ren'py (alpha). We will move to design and planning. So until then we cannot say who is going to be added and in what capacity.
Prompt and insightful. Great stuff. Thanks!
cool Halloween event in Ren'py. new content for Halloween event?
Yes sir! We're moving to a new design approach that will highlight holes, and ways we can improve.
