So here's the plan.
The moment we're done with Jenny's ministory, I'll start working on the main game.
I still need to add Jenny.
But here's what we're going to do, since there's much I'd like to change as well (before I can finally start adding more scenes).
I'll be working on Jenny behind the curtains.
In the meantime, we'll be fixing that early version with small patches.
small patch 1
. fix the progression and stats system (cut down the grind and pointless repetition)
. . . in this patch I'll add more casual scenes with the girls (finding them in the bathroom, bedrooms, dinning room, backyard, etc)
. . . in this patch I'll also perfect the hints system, and add a way for you, the player, to keep track on the girls whereabouts
small patch 2
. add the money/inventory systems
. . . in this patch we'll add the groceries store (the minimarket) where Bobby used to work
. . . in this patch we'll add a few key items (tools for lockpicking, spy cameras and possibly the pool)
small patch 3
. add the missing scenes with Ann (Ann sleeping and a couple more events that never made it into version 0.1)
The plan is to take a couple months to release each patch, starting january 2025.
And to release Jenny immediately after the third, mid 2025.
Jenny's patch will contain as many scenes with her as the scenes with the other girls, plus one ingame macro event you can unlock (w/ the stuff you're seeing on this side project).
Once we've got that settled, the game will be in the perfect spot to be continued.
I'll continue to release a patch every two months.
We'll have four girls, and I'll try to mirror the progression we've set for the first semester.
Early 2025 we'll make a poll, and allow the patrons to vote for which girl is going to get the ingame unlockable macro event after Jenny.
It's a big deal, it's long, immersive, and there'll be sex in it.
Jenny is out, of course (hers is already there).
The winning girl will get a patch focused only on her, on christmas that year.
The remaining girls will get a tasty bit of progression here and there, every small patch. Each on a different patch, following the poll's results.
I'll also add a new inventory item every new small patch (and the scenes needed for its implementation). And one side character every new small patch (Vicky, Julia, etc).
And that's it.
We might adjust those terms before we get to 2025, but that's the idea.
I expect to double the amount of content of we have by the end of 2025.
