Time to Decide

Hello! As the title says, this week I need to make the final decision on how the city content should go.

As I was falling asleep last night, I realized there are some things I didn't manage to implement in time due to time constraints (monthly updates are difficult as a solo dev, compromises have to be made) such as a pet on the ship (that already has full sprites, animations, etc) and some other improvements here and there (such as maybe even minigames during some scenes).

Maybe that was the sign I should've paid attention to. Even if it's a NSFW game it should have a bit of "warmth" so to say, as in, the world and interactions especially in freeroam-able areas like the ship shouldn't be isolated only to the story. In the text game there were many freeroam events which people liked.

So here's what's most likely going to happen. As I already mentioned this the past few status updates, it's best to focus on doing everything story related at first (up until reaching the Night Club at least) and then focus on any missing parts in the game.

That means I don't need to worry so much about how many scenes I should add right now for the story, because there'll be more later. This means that we're most likely going to have 4-6 animations up until reaching the night club, and a few illustrations along the way.

My next priority is then, making proper scenarios for these scenes. I wanted to add stuff like blackmail content, "favors", etc. because that sort of scenarios are usually more exciting for players, but we'll see how it goes.

On Friday I should have all the scenes' scenarios planned and I'll start working on them.

Thank you for your patience and I hope it won't take long for you to see the result of these thoughts!
