Release Day + Progress Report

0.9.1.1 for Dossier

It's been a lot of writing over the past couple weeks. One of the most difficult aspects of approaching this release has been where to draw a line in the sand. There's a TON of content between the approach, waiting, event and outro, so it certainly needs to be split into a couple releases. So as I've written, I've been trying to find the most natural place to put a release break. As I mentioned the last progress report, the structure for the Big Event has evolved into the following:

• The nights up to the event, whether or not Claire reported in and whether or not she's working it. Which means there's a couple small bifurcations and one larger one: Does she try to get herself picked if she wasn't selected beforehand.
• This is then split up into the three sub-paths: is she a working girl? bargirl? dancer?
• Then there's the day 'of' the Big Event with an EROS check-in and plan of action (if she reported in to them first). If she's not working the Big Event, she can make a choice of how she wants to approach being an agent in the field on that evening.
• The night of the Big Event. Either as an agent in the field operating on the outside, included in the Event and operating on the inside, OR blissfully unawares of EROS' desires and potentially just working a night at the club or at the event without contact with the agency. <-- Heading into this portion is where it seems to be the most natural break between 0.9.2 and 0.9.3.
• Wrapping up the Big Event. Checking in with EROS or not, confirming results and next steps.

Meanwhile (when my brain needed breaks), I've gone through probably 15,000 or so lines of code and added in missing speech bubbles. That's over half of the existing Club portions and will likely be hitting some more stretches. Soon there won't be any missing sections! I hope this cleans up the play and makes it more interesting on the eyes, easier to read and comprehend.

AND There was one bargirl event that hadn't been added to working at the Club that I'm in process of including.

On the art end of things: we've finished up the last of the new outfits for the au pair arc. It's a sexy little 'roleplay-ey' kind of thing for Claire's wardrobe. A hint of Mary Poppins and whatnot.

All the pixel art for her clothing has been updated to include the new cupsize, HD art to round out in the next month or so.

I've also gone back to the contractor that has been working on Claire's mom and we're going to get her headshots in the game as soon as the work is done. Lots of variations, depending on how Claire looks.

Long story short: probably a couple more days on 0.9.2, which currently has 3 new sex scenes (multiple variations within) and the test run of the Personalities! Because of the latter, new games will be necessary, so I'm going to try and run through and update all the Quick Save Claire's for 'easy access'.

Thanks for your patience!

There's two major pathways for the event: Claire picked for the event and not. If she does, she'll be working it from the inside. If she doesn't, she'll either be stuck back at the club or if she never worked at the Club a more 'secret agent' infil-style approach. Each major pathway will have success and failure conditions and pathways, sex content, etc. And then the Outro and results from how it all went down.

So it's possible to refuse to go undercover as a club worker in this game unlike FA?

You can also get fired/not-approved to work at the club. So, yes. But is that surprising? FA is functionally a click-through 'game'. Blue Swallow is a choose your own adventure.

Sorry for bothering ya, but I'm curious if you and your team have fixed this particular bug:

Yeah, turns out my version was so old that it wasn't implemented yet. We can go together now. Thanks, CassieBare! Though, why no changelog!?



In case you haven't found the issue, I found it, since that also got me, and Taylor must be mine!

<tw-passagedata pid="513" name="UN009 - Summers" tags="nobr" position="350,6475" size="100,100"><<outfit $UN.greek>>
<<if $HS.firstRelationship.name == $CC.FName>> <!-- If Taylor. -->
  <<set $HS.LDR = false>> <!-- Kill the LDR with Taylor always. Wait... what? Taylor!? -->
  <<if $HS.fidelity == "committed">> <!-- I waited for you... -->
    <<set $HS.fidelity == "cheated">> <!-- No... Taylor... Is it because I don't have a dick? I can buy a huge strap-on for you! Devs: add a strap-on for size queen Taylor. -->
  <</if>>
  I had so been hoping to come back and reconnect with <<print $CC.FName>>. We had such history. I was //yearning// for it.
  <br><br>
  But it was not to be. I was crushed to meet up with her and some...//guy//...she hadn't warned me. Jus tlet me fill in the gaps.
  <br><br>
  That meeting was short-lived. I needed to go home and cry.
  <br><br>
  Needless to say, I didn't see much of her.
<</if>> <!-- END If Taylor. -->
<!-- Totally un-wrapped cheat text here. If only an if prevented this if. -->
<<print $CC.FName>> was gallivanting around with her boyfriend. She found him at college and was smitten by him. It was cute. But I missed her.
<br><br>
<<if $HS.LDR == true>> <!-- We were, but you broke it off! Now it'll never happen. :( -->
  I had mine too. So //there//. <<print $HS.firstRelationship.name>> and I came back together in awkward fits and starts. There was the residue of our distance that we had to overcome. There were the questions of what we'd been up to while we were apart...despite having talked all the time...there was still that seed of questioning doubt. Of jealousy.
  <<if $HS.fidelity == "cheater">>And there was good reason to doubt me.<<elseif $HS.fidelity == "cheated">>And there was good reason to doubt <<if $HS.firstRelationship.gender == "M">>him<<else>>her<</if>>.<</if>>
  <br><br>
  But that friction was overcome and soon we were just like <<print $CC.FName>> and...whatever his name was. People had a hard time nailing me down as my time was mostly taken up by that same sense of impending ends. A crushing //need// to be together, to maximize all we could. Because we both knew, it would be coming to a close sooner rather than later.
<<else>> <!-- And I will always have to wish it. -->
  I wished I had someone on my arm when I saw how happy she was. But that wasn't in the cards right now.
  <br><br>
  So I had a lot of free time to reconnect with people from high school, make new friends, laze around the house...it was relaxing. But it would be over before I knew it.
<</if>>

I hope my annotations help. If not, dead code for the <<if $HS.LDR == true>> thanks to the first if overriding it. Also that random being cheated on text is unconditional.

Quite immersive breaking.

Well, when I checked out Blue Swallow some time ago I think the club was not available yet so I'm simply not up to date with the current contents. So if you're not working at the club will you then become a "normal" secret agent? Can you still see some sexual contents in this path?

Yep, a few releases ago.

Well, when I checked out Blue Swallow some time ago I think the club was not available yet so I'm simply not up to date with the current contents. So if you're not working at the club will you then become a "normal" secret agent? Can you still see some sexual contents in this path?

If you do not work at the club, you will still be working the mission. There will be *far* less sexual content in this path, but there will still be opportunities for sex.

Ok, so, I admit to being shallow. My Claire is awlays gorgeous appearance-wise. But last playthrough I've decided to try something unique and made her very mid, but with great tits. And made her belong to a "popular" clique. And then, when I tried to use womanly wiles on The Boys to get their help with Prom-Queening, they refused until Claire showed her boobs. A scene I've never seen before. Damn, that was sexy and cool. But then I've opened html file and discovered that if Claire is mid appearance-wise and doesn't have great tits The Boys can demand blowjobs from her!
One of the sexiest scenes in the freaking game hidden behind fugly Claire with not-great tits, are you kidding me?!

Please, for the love of all thats great in this world, allow Ethan and co get brave enough and greedy enough to demand sexy service (blowjob) from slutty (high Easy) and suggestive (high Suggestive) Claire, not only fugly (appearance <4 & not! great tits) Claire. Please, I'm begging you! Several lines of text and code to make it happen with beautiful Claire too! After all, sex scene itself is already in the game.

(Also, I want something similar to happen with Loser Claire too. The Boys will be her friends regardless, but if Claire is suggestive and easy and there's already rumors about her, then Ethan can demand regular BJs from her to keep being her friends. If she refuses then he simply tells her that it was a joke, with Loser Claire not having other friends she doesn't really have a choice but to accept this 'joke' excuse if it doesn't pan out. But if she folds, then we get the sexy "She sucks off her male friends to keep being friends with them". And them being nerds make it even sexier somehow. Loser Claire sucks off nerds to keep said nerds willing to be seen talking with her.)

In other words, I want more sexy 'deals' for different clique Claires to make, similar to gang!Claire and her peacemaker!pussy. Ideally for every clique.

Release Day!
0.9.2 for Handlers and Agency Chiefs
0.9.1.1 for Origin

The lead up to the Big Event is complete and released to our top tier supporters!

• If Claire's working at the Club, she can be potentially selected to work the Big Event. If not, she can try and maneuver her way onto the team during the intervening nights. If she's not working at the Club she can figure out what approach she and the EROS team are going to have that night.

• Claire's personality is implemented for the section above. It's a test that will keep going through the end of the Big Event before we retroactively implement it throughout all of Act I's content to date during 0.10.

• An additional Bargirl event has been written and added to round out that sequence of random work events.

• We've added hundreds upon hundreds of speech bubbles. A lot of work left to do, but this should make the experience of playing the game better, easier to understand and more fun for your eyes.

• Speaking of speech bubbles, we've added in headshots for: Andrew, Angelo, Arvin, Ava, Claire's HS best guy and best girl friends, Ethan, Nate, and Tao!

• We've re-run the Jock, Nerd and Popular Quick Start Claires to be updated with all the current code.

• We've fixed how taking Plan B works in the main game -- if Claire's already ovulating, it won't work now.

• 64 updated tops for the new cupsize, HD and pixelated

• 9 new pieces of passage art.

• Dozens of fixes like broken images and occasional bad code.

And...a new outfit finishing out the set for the Argentinian Au Pair Gap Year arc!

Glad you're trying new things and seeing just how complex and deep this game can be!

Also,'mid' isn't fugly. I'd argue only a '1' Attractiveness Claire is 'fugly' and in that case probably more like just a late-bloomer or 3rd/4th choice girl in a group of friends. Even the least attractive Claire is good-looking/cute. A '4' is probably one of the hottest at the high school, '5' is someone that would turn heads walking into any room, '6' would be the top-tier actor/model looks and the very rare '7' would be the world-class attractiveness, undeniable, ageless, jaw-dropping.

"Fugly" is the word Claire used. And we're seeing a couple of NERDS who won't help a girl who'd shown them TITS. Yeah, she's not treated as that good looking there.
But! Arguing is not my thing, I just want more ways to access hot(hottest) scenes. Well, and more hot scenes themselves.
And I'm not above begging to get it. Observe.
"Please, I beg of you! Add more ways for Claire to get sexually exploited by her friends and/or cliques in the game! Preferably Loser!Claire by the Boys and the such."

Loser!Claire folding and promising (and delivering) regular BJs to the Boys to keep her friends. (BJs so that the Boys won't mess up virginity scene or complicate sex-partner tracking).
Cheerleader!Claire giving a handie to quarterback to get that +2 point for getting on the squad.

 

[BleepRose]

Yeah I've also thought the Loser Claire arc would be a great opportunity to add some extra opportunities with the Boys.

 

[Blood-Red Circus]

Thanks for the update!

how do i hide the skills and traits?
after doing the RPG intro, on chrome they cover half of the screen and i don't see any button to hide them

no problem with the full intro BTW

Don't you know NERDS have STANDARDS? They won't even fuck a girl whose knees are too sharp. Or at least that's what they'd make you believe.

Needless to say, Prom sucked.

Just to clairify, old saves won't work AT ALL?

 

[CassieBare]

ERROR

Needless to say, Prom sucked.

Did you run into an error or...?

If so, please let us know.

 

[CassieBare]

Just to clairify, old saves won't work AT ALL?

Correct. Likely won't have 'old saves work' functionality until the game is deep into development.

That's one of the reasons for adding in Quick-Starts and the RPG-start.

Otherwise, because the game is constantly evolving and improving; clarifying and recalibrating...old saves won't ever work (likely).
