Development diary #113

Ok, guys! Let’s talk about the update 1.0!

As many of you could expect, in this the update we are reaching the ending of the main plot of the game. The fate of Shuggerlain will be decided once you finish this update but… the happenings and the resolutions of the events may be different depending on your gameplay.

Let’s go a bit deeper on this matter:

Since a few updates ago we introduced a reminder after day 80 and day 100. In these reminders we explain to the player that ending/route 1 is no longer available after day 80, and the same happens with ending/route 2 after day 100. In this last case this basically means you are getting ending/route 3.

*These numbers may be different for balancing purposes.

Ending 3, 2 or 1 are not necessarily better or worse. They are just different. So don’t worry if you initially are not able to reach a specific route because of day limits. This is not made because we are evil and we don’t want to give you freedom to unlock absolutely everything in a single playthrough. This is basically because your MAIN MISSION on the game is to stop Arax before it’s too late. For this same reason we are not allowing returning to previous zones once you’ve advanced to a new one. It is assumed you’re Nulkan, a great warrior but also a good tactician. So you are supposed to trace a balanced route between finding allies and reaching Arax as soon as possible. Going back to obtain some missed girl/pussy is not a good strategy, guys :P

Once this is clarified, let’s explain a bit better what to expect on this 1.0 update:

Very likely, in this update you’ll be able to get Endings with Dynae and Izuin, the 2 mainest main girls of the game. These 2 are the only girls that their endings are different depending on the route.

In other words, Dynae will have 3 endings (one per route) and the same applies to Izuin.

Each ending will have a Sex event. This will consist in:

Kissing + Foreplay + H-scene 1 + H-scene 2 and after all that, the Epilogue.

So this formula will be made 3 times for Dynae and 3 times for Izuin. This is a lot of sex stuff, guys.

What about the rest of the girls?

They will receive their endings using the very same formula explained above BUT this will happen after 1.0.

We’ll try to deliver all their endings in 2 updates after 1.0. Probably something like Nadine, Luth, Saraith, Vex, Yraselle, Atzi.

And later Teigan, Hazel, Night Queen, Jilliana, Koa, Zira Ragna, Shun & Mai.

I hope you understand Shuggerlain has a lot more girls than Space Paws. Giving all of them the ending they deserve will require a bit of time. We can only say that it will totally worth the wait ;)

Unlike Dynae or Izuin, all these girls will have 1 ending that will be the same no matter you followed route 1, 2 or 3.

About the 1.0 we’ve also realized about something. A lot of the content we’ll need to work on is too revealing to show it on Patreon. In our opinion a lot of these posts will content spoilers that could ruin the final experience, for this very same reason during this update it’s likely we’ll show a bit less content of the update and even then, some of the content we’ll show will be intentionally modified (so you’ll get the idea, but you won’t see exactly the ingame content).

But this doesn’t mean we won’t be posting stuff!

It’s December and we want to use this opportunity to share some content we made for fun. We Taifun Riders use human made art in the game (and this will always be this way), but we’ve got to replicate some of our girls using AI. It’s something we just tried for fun, but seeing the good results, we consider it’s a pity not sharing some of this content with our patrons that could appreciate some extra content of their favorite girls (Dynae, Izuin, Night Queen, Teigan, Saraith, Vex, Luth and Nadine…).

And this is basically our position about AI stuff. It’s good for fun, as a curiosity, but in any case shouldn’t replace the work of a real artist.

I hope you are as excited as we are with all the incoming content.

Thank you so much for being another year supporting our work. Space Paws and Shuggerlain wouldn’t exist without you, guys ♥
