Dimensions VIP Version 0.4.0 Futopia Released
After a month-long delay, and I'm really sorry about that, we've finally released the Futopia chapter of Dimensions VIP.
Before I go into release details, I'd like to say that the delay is simply because the entire MOBSoft team got engaged on a time-sensitive client project in early August, and that has to take priority. I should have let everyone know, and that's on me, so for that, I'm sorry. Note, however, that handling paid clients need to come first for us; although the Dimensions game is free, and the development has been funded, we still need to pay rent and salaries first.
The good news is that the artists have not slowed down and are now waaay ahead of the implementation of the stories. As such, we'll release several new stories in quick succession. As I think I have mentioned before, now that Futopia is out, we're going to spend more time on expanding the game universe, with more background stories, more information about the dimensions, and so on. This is already in full production mode so expect more on that shortly.
That said, for version 0.4, which is out now on all platforms, the broad release notes are:
Story: Futopia, and a number of other stories
Futopia is inspired by the Blade Runner world of Philip K. Dick, with artificial replicants that service human needs. You'll meet Pristine, the leader of a local resistance group that tries to survive 'retirement' by law-enforcement.
We're also advancing the main story beyond the new dimension, and you'll get to learn more about the dimensions, how the amulets work, and perhaps some teasers into what they mean.
New gameplay feature: Workshop
Players have been mentioning that they have too many items gathered from rewards, questing, and, of course, fucking the brains out of the girls. This is and has been by design; the lower-tier items are abundant, but why would you really need 500 wooden dildoes?
Well, as it turns out, you can recycle them, for materials at the new workshop. The materials you get from recycling can be used to create hard to find items, including higher tier red and gold items.
You can, at least very soon, also spend some of those hard-earned Dims$ in the store to purchase more materials.
Finally, recycling items has a chance of producing dimension gems. Albeit a small chance per item for lower-tiers, you have a chance to get some premium currency absolutely free.
Custom girl actions and experimental animation format
We are also introducing a new feature, currently available in a trial phase for Rachel Justice only. The feature, called custom actions, allow for unique interactions per girl. For Rachel Justice, this includes a custom dungeon session featuring a new animation.
Yes, we explicitly chose Rachel Justice because, and I can't believe I have to point out the pun here, getting Rachel Justice is hard work. Get it? Rachel Justice?
I guess you had to be there.
The point is that we're experimenting with this for a small number of players to get the feedback before we commit to doing more animations like this.
Oh, and if you want Rachel Justice, you want, at least in Dimensions VIP, to get 3-star girl cards. It's a very rare drop so to get Rachel Justice, you need to work hard.
OK, I'll stop pointing out that pun now. I'm sure someone can hint as to how to farm 3-star cards.
Other Updates and Future Plans
In addition to the major changes and updates, there are also several new girls (French Resistance girls), multiple bug fixes, a rewards calendar for login, and some other minor stuff.
The Futopia dimension is going to have multiple side stories. We've already made the artwork for several of them and keep working on the rest.
Further, we're going to expand on existing dimensions, including new stories from the Aztec dimension and possibly some background stories from the French Resistance dimension. There's a side story for the Sex Drive dimensions too, focused on Jessica Blaze and her mother, which will reveal more information about how Bambi got sent to the Aztec dimension.
We're close to hitting 40 stories, and will do that shortly, and as we're moving forward, we will focus on expanding the existing content before we move on to producing the next dimension.
