Yo! First devlog since the 0.09a release!
First of all, thanks to everyone for the feedback/support/messages/whatever after the last update. It's been awesome! Now, onto the devlog itself.
The next update will be our 0.10 version. If you've got a keen eye, you'll notice the little 'a' is missing. That's because my goal with this update is to improve and overhaul many of the incomplete features the game has right now. Not all of them, that'd be too much work for one update, but the more important ones first, and we'll see how it goes from there.
The big thing I've been working on these past few weeks is the 'Student Interaction' feature. The one where you call a student to the office to talk about their… 'academic behavior'. My goal is to make it so that there's at least one, if not more, proper interaction with every girl. Not all of these interactions will be unique, I plan to differentiate them according to the girls' personalities, meaning girls with a very similar personality will have the same interaction, with minor changes to dialogue here and there. I've already made a lot of new animations for this feature, and they're looking really nice… ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
Once that's done, I'll work on the Academy as a whole, and some of the daily interactions and decisions you take, in order to make the gameplay loop feel more complete and in a more playable state. More interesting choices, more repeatable events, decisions that affect the academy stats, the Board becoming more impatient with MC if the Satisfaction drops too low for too long, that type of stuff.
This focus on the gameplay elements and interaction features will mean that the story events will take a little backseat. I will still add some small story events, mainly to tie in nicely some of the things that happened at the end of the last update, but again, they won't be the focus for the 0.10 version. The good news is that this update will probably be done much quicker than previous updates, and the shorter dev cycle will mean we'll be able to go back to the story events soon.
Together with this post, I'll be sharing some of the new animations in the Sneak Peek channel on our Discord server. For some reason, Patreon doesn't allow adult content creators to upload videos in their posts… Oh well…
That's it for now, and as always, thanks!
