We had a good work week this week, and we will be updating the game later this week. We have all the animations complete and now we are just play testing and adding a few last renders to finish out some scenes. I’m going to say the update will occur near the end of the week.
The update will feed all paths of the game into a scene between Steph and the MC. We’ve completed the work on the new harder low confidence path and that along with the path that bypasses Tori and Jason’s feed into this scene along with the main lines. The harder low path is based on content we removed a few months ago, but it is not that exact content being reintroduced. The original content would have led to a quick end, so we’ve reworked that material from just after the dance club through to Tori and Jason’s so that it has a similar feel and the greater challenge, but it can also continue in the game. Also we wanted to put in a decision point so that people could opt out of the "Wild Steph" route. Taking this route, going without limits, removes some decisions opportunities later.
In playing through to check everything out, we came across a few inconsistencies in the dialogue and adjusted them. These were mostly just a few changes in word choice that did not alter gameplay. We also added the quick start option at the beginning of the game where you can bypass selecting a name and pet names and just go with our generic ones. This was a requested feature as were the bypass path and the wilder Steph path.
There are two animated sequences in the next update. One is at the start of the scene while the other is at the end. Some of the paths out of Tori's second game will now feed into the opening scene of the new content rather than the scene with Steph and Tori at the end of the second game. So it is possible to trigger both of the new animated scenes, and it is possible to trigger neither of them. Both scenes are Steph with MC. After this update, other updates should come more quickly for a while. Also, there are no endings included in this update, but they will start appearing in the following updates.
The art this week comes from a scene in the update where you actually have to blow it with Steph to trigger this bit. You can then continue to blow it or impress her, and you can probably guess what happens next if you impress her.
There will of course be more specifics when we patch the game later this week.
