So let's start from the top. If you've played the recent versions of PL, you've probably noticed that the story is coming to a close in just a few more updates. My plan at the writing of this is to make v0.18 (renamed v0.99) effectively the last update of the main/harem story.
Man... How far we've come, I remember v0.1 as though it was just three years ago.
If those plans go through, we would still be looking at ONE more update past that, a v1.0 if you will. In which I will go through the game fixing everything I wanna fix, adding a working gallery to the game, quite possibly with the help of a certain Lain person. Also adding achievements and the ever eluding fifth route of the game, among several other changes I've wanted to make to the game over the years.
...
If you didn't know, back in 2018, I made a tiny little demo to my second game Apartment #69. I have a bunch of really cool ideas for the game that I'm really excited to share with the world. As said previously, I'll begin working on A69 as soon as PL is finished.
If you haven't tried A69, it's a more of a sandbox type game, without a strict narrow day-by-day narrative like that of PL. This gives me a whole lot more freedom in so far as what I can do with the story. For example, instead of in PL, where I would have to start each day with a morning scene, then a breakfast scene, then the day scenes, then a night scene. With A69, I can start scene 1 at morning and scene 2 will be triggered in some other location during the night. This makes it so I'm not restricted to a day and night cycle like I was with PL. Now the reason I'm bringing this up is because where as with PL, it kind of makes sense that a single new version of the game will go through a single new day in the PL world. With A69, there's nothing really like that. So methinks doing monthly updates to the game will be a much more viable model. Like setting exact dates for when an update is to come out and then putting out the update with the content I've developed during the month. Obviously keeping in mind that there actually is enough content made in said month to justify the charge.
Another idea I had was to set a scene/render goal for the update, and once I reach that amount of renders, I'll release the update.
This doesn't really apply to Subscribestar the same way since there's no "per update" option on here, but I decided you guys should know over here as well, that updates may become more frequent.
