Development update #135

Hey everyone.

First of all, I want to welcome all new patrons. When I just started my game and launched my page I thought hitting 100 patrons would be a dream come true for me. Now we are close to 700. That's insane! Thank all of you, new and old patrons for supporting me and the development of this game. You are truly the reason I'm still working on it and growing as an artist and developer, improving the game and its quality with each update. Especially in such a difficult time and situation that I live in. Much love, guys<3

It's been almost a month since the release and I hope all of you have already played the latest update and enjoyed it. I took a small break to take my mind off things and spent some time with friends and family. Even tho I wanted to forget about the game for some time to restart my brain I still ended up thinking a lot about it. Planning future scenes and playing possible scenarios in my head.

Now I'm already back at work and for the last week was working on scene planning and writing for two future updates. I've already done most of the mind-mapping and decided on major scenes that I want to include into them before the finale of Book 1. I still have to decide on smaller scenes and what to add between the main story scenes. That includes lewd scenes and girls' screen time overall. As I mentioned before, these two future updates will focus on the main story progression. After quite a slow storytelling and focusing on relationship building in the latest two or even three updates we are finally getting back to the secrets and mysteries that laid the foundation for this game. That means there will be less interaction with girls, fewer lewd scenes and more storytelling. But I'll try to find a balance, as always. I can lift the veil a bit and tell that you can definitely expect Octavia and Liu content in the next update. As for the others, I'll tell you a little later or keep it a secret :P

I already wrote dialogues for two scenes and currently working on the third. That's my plan for the next week. Lots of writing and a bit of 3d preparations(environments, characters, lighting etc). Maybe even posing for the first scenes if I am productive. I'll also try to change my approach to my art a bit this time. To be more productive and work faster. Unfortunately posing eats up the most time. So I'll try to make fewer renders. Or fewer unique renders I should say. I often get carried away with my art and make lots of extra renders with different angles that don't add much to the story or scenes overall. Sometimes it's better to have an extra render with the same angle but a different expression than a completely different render. It's hard to say how will it work or what effect it will have on my style, but that's just an idea. I'm not cutting any content with that. Just trying to find a better workflow and be more productive.

As for the polls for this update, I can't say for sure now. Maybe I'll hold a few simple outfit polls. But will know for sure a bit later. When I decide on scenes for this update.

Also if you missed August wallpapers(Daisy, Octavia & Cathy) and special renders(Daisy & MC).

Just a reminder: if you pledged more than $15, you can add your name to the credits here. And If you pledged more than $30, you can suggest special render ideas here.

Thank you for your support, have a nice week and take care.
