Blog 171 / Happy New Year: 2020!
Hello everybody, and welcome to the first post of 2020!
To start with, I'd like to wish you all a very happy new year!
And, thanks to your ongoing support and enthusiasm, it looks like it's shaping up to be a great year for the Dystopian Project as well!
I do have to apologize for our slowed production rate during this past month, as one half of our multinational team celebrates the "traditional" festive season in December with Christmas + New Year's Eve, while the other half of our team celebrates in January with Orthodox Christmas and the Lunar New Year. There's a bit of a disconnect as a result, with half the team on break while the other half kept on working but had slower/delayed team feedback as a result.
However, I think we've got things fairly stable and settled now! As the other half of our team prepares to go on their well-deserved break, they've already readied the resources required for us to start compiling and then putting our new releases and updates!
So, most pressing thing on the agenda is the finalized version of 0.18 for Claire's Quest. While it's relatively 'complete', there's a few new scenes that needed to wait for a couple more assets and revisions, which are now ready, so that will be coming out next! Basically it fleshes out Dargan Town and advances the Mercenary and Shieldmaiden questlines for Rathpike!
Overgrown: Genesis was meant to finish in 2019, but I wasn't happy with concluding with what we had - the story didn't finish "properly" to me, if that makes sense - so I've decided to extend the production time so I can bring in more scenes and resources. The final updates will be split into two parts: the first part will complete the University level + Dryad scenes + two endings, while the second part will bring in the final secret level and another ending.
The scenes for the final updates are taking longer than anticipated to draw due to the artwork's complexity, but I definitely think you'll find it worth the wait!
The first part of the final O:G update includes a Dryad Attack #1 (Oral), Dryad Attack #2 (Anal), Dryad Attack #3 (Impregnation/Gameover), the Dryad "Swarm" Gameover, as well as Ending "A" and Ending "B".
Speaking of the endings, I'd like to explain a bit more about them without spoiling too much.
Ending A - Unlocked by one of the choices made during the University level; you will end up in an ending room with a specific scene on 'repeat' and the rest of the Gallery available. This is the extreme "Dryad" ending.
Ending B - Also unlocked by one of the choices made during the University level; you will end up in an ending room with a specific scene on 'repeat' and the rest of the Gallery available. This is the extreme "Scientist" ending.
Ending C1 - Unlocked during the final level; you will end up in an ending room with a specific scene on 'repeat' and the rest of the Gallery available. This is the extreme "Military" ending.
Ending C2 - Unlocked during the final level; you will end up in an ending room, with all other ending scenes unlocked in your Gallery. This is a milder version of the "Military" ending.
Ending C3 - Unlocked during the final level; you will end up in an ending room, with all other ending scenes unlocked in your Gallery. This is the "Harmonious" ending, and the hardest one to achieve. Conditions to get this are identical to C2, but you must have completed all sidequests in the game, collected all the "Note" items, and fully upgraded the survivor shelter at Fort Patton through calling in favours alone.
And that's all from me for now! Once again, we wish you a great 2020 - and hope to play a big part in making this year much more entertaining and pleasant for you.
