This game has a pretty good story. I love the Mc's alternative personality feels like an older brother telling you what to do :LOL:. The only problem I have is some of the characters looking the same, I sometimes can't figure out who is who :HideThePain:. Overall this is a solid game, can't wait for the next update :D

Weekly Report and some Explanations



1708907640220.png


Hey, guys! What's up?!





So. First, the explanations. As some of you know, especially those following up on the Discord server discussions (which I highly recommend :D), I've had some health issues lately. I spent weeks in the Hospital, first because of a family member in need, then because of me. And while I'm no longer in the Hospital, I'm still in recovery. There are a few steps until I'm fully healed. Like Physiotherapy. Medicine. Rehabilitation. Long story short, there are still a few steps until complete recovery.

Having said that, I'm fine. I'm not in my most productive state. Sometimes, I'm still lethargic because of episodes of breathing difficulty. But I'm recovering and feeling great (despite all this). Thanks, everyone, for being so understanding and supportive. And thanks, everyone, for the kind messages.

Changing topics, let's talk about the game and the Patreon page. I will start posting weekly reports on how the game's been progressing. I want to do this every Sunday. And the reason for this, the two reasons actually, is first to help me start being productive again. My health issues have abruptly interrupted my workflow, and my condition has made it challenging to be effective (Breathing difficulty resulting in Sleep Deprivation and Somnolence, Lethargy, etc.) So, I think this is a lovely way to keep me focused, energetic, and dynamic.

The second reason is that I want to give my followers and supporters more information about what I've been doing. And that's what I'll be doing right now.

So sit right there, and let's talk!





Weekly Report (And all the other weeks prior to this... Ops)
1708907656852.png

Okay. This week, I might've made a decision that COULD be a bit unpopular. I've decided to rework some scenes. Make it a bit more cinematic. And don't get me wrong, I think this is me improving the scene's quality. The unpopular part is... It takes time, and everyone is already hyped for the update (as am I... Sheesh...).

But the thing is... I really think this update can shine a bit more. I believe it hasn't come to its full potential yet. So, I've decided to give it a bit more polishing. Better dialogue lines. I am making the music sync better with the renders and improving the SFX.

To counterbalance the hype, I'm not promising any triple AAA stuff. I'm just an indie dev working with passion. That only gets me so far. :p

Alright, let's talk about the highlights of this update.

Isabella
1708907664884.png

Well, Isabella has been lovely to work with. She was supposed to be just a sexy nurse in the prologue and was much more fleshed out than I had initially planned. I love having those insights while I'm writing.
That's interesting because while many plots have already been planned since the beginning of the game, how they occur changes drastically based on the character's personality.

For instance, Isabella was supposed to help MC after he got shot alongside sophia. They still did that. But it was SO MUCH more interesting having Isabella as an equal to Sophia. And their conversation, sharing their experiences. That felt a lot more natural. And I really liked that change.

Some hints about her past are shown in this update, but not too much. Some will wonder why she changed from her previous job as a surgeon and became the attending doctor at the college. And some will make a few connections in this update. Seeing fans theorize about it on our Discord server is really fun! :p

1708907672423.png

And you know what? They do have some chemistry! >:)



This post is already too long. I'll talk more tomorrow about the remainder of the highlights.



It's good to be back, guys! Cheers!

He makes a lot of the soundtrack for the TV series Sons of Anarchy. Most of the songs used here are from there. Definitely recommend it.

Bummer the Dev got sick, for them and for the game. Why is it that all the best games, manga, anime, ect, seem to end up unfinished or slow due to health issues.

Ya'll are overworking!

Glad this Dev is keeping at it though. This is probably my fav game right now.

Hey, guys!
This is my 10th attempt at posting this on Patreon. Since I couldn't do it there for some reason, I'll post it here, and then I'll try again tomorrow! I wanted to discuss a few things with you guys, but this post is going to be too huge already. I'll leave it to another post in case the need shows up. So, if you aren't aware of what's happening, I suggest checking out our Discord server.



1711335099983.png

Lets go to what matters!

Damn... DropOut Saga is reaching its second year of development, and I have grand ambitions for this year. July's update (second anniversary) will be awesome, as I already have many scenes set apart just for it. For this post, I want to discuss what to expect from this update. Ps: Renders here are not necessarily for the scenes in this update. Some are for future content.

GRACE
1711335122616.png

Grace has been a hell of an exciting character to write. Mainly because, differently from the other LIs, she's not friendly by default. Not occupying a subordinate position related to MC, she constantly challenges, tests, and maybe even antagonizes him if their interests are unaligned. While I won't say what I have in store for her, I can guarantee her family and background will contribute, perhaps even dictate, how future events will transpire and affect the story.

ASUNA

1711335163853.png

Asuna is by far one of my favorite characters. An angelical face hiding a devious mind. Already a big corporate in a multinational company while still in her early 20s. Properly introducing her has been one of my biggest frustrations. While I want to give more and more about her, she needs a slow pace in the story lest she overwhelm the audience and start appearing like the Mary Sue archetype instead of a three-dimensional character. She hasn't shined yet, but I think I've given her excellent pacing so far. And we have more about her in this update. She's also set to be one of the main characters for the next update.

The Theather

1711335199243.png



I explained a long time ago that we'll have five chapters. (I didn't say five download links)We'll explore the factions extensively along the way. Curiously (or maybe not), the game also has five factions. And while it looks like two storylines are happening simultaneously—the mafia plot and the college plot—they're not. They're slowly intertwining. Lori and Isabela have been in contact with the MC's dark side, and Sophia and Ava have realized the MC is working with something they don't know yet. Grace and Asuna also enter the stage in this update. Soon, Jasmin will also join the rodeo. The plan is to have both plots slowly interact, overlapping until they are both the same. The challenges for the MC to keep his life of sin a secret have been interesting to work with. But we all know one day, the bubble will burst. Or maybe it won't?


1711335235976.png


Planned Changelog
  • This update is about the same size as the previous one. About 1000 renders with many animations.
  • Fixed the gallery not properly unlocking the old scenes with Ava.
  • I updated how animations are displayed, which should stop the lag in old devices. (The complaints were very isolated, but I'd love some feedback on that.)
  • Fixed a weird bug that would sometimes not display the correct names and nicknames for the characters in case you didn't type anything when you had the chance
  • Some have said that rolling backward was disabled. I have never deactivated that. So make sure you're downloading the correct OFFICIAL version of the game. Just in case, I've forcefully set the rolling-back option to be True.

1711335281849.png


Plans for the Future
  • Add a screen to allow the player to change their nicknames. Typing something wrong and having to either restart the game or hack into the variables is a pain in the ass. I know it, you know it.
  • Animated backgrounds for the menus. The current state only displays a cinematic intro. I want every menu to have its own cinematic playing in the background.
  • Repeatable in-game scenes. I like how you can replay them already in the gallery, but I think that the option to, instead of advancing the story, hang out with the LIs for a while is excellent. The challenge would be how to implement this naturally. I'm still thinking about it, though.
  • And by the gods... MONTHLY UPDATES, PLEASE.

The Release Date


1711335323491.png

  • Finally, I'll release the following update on March 31st (Next Sunday). Patrons have been supporting me tremendously and have shown more understanding than the circumstances deserve. As such, I want to show how much I appreciate that. I'll use this week to add one extra NSFW scene to the update. I'll make a poll tomorrow about it. You guys will decide which girl and what position they're going to do it in. I already made preparations for that in the story, so I'm not adding this extra scene just for the sake of it. I think it'll be great!
    • Not only patrons, but the whole community has shown more understanding and support than the circumstances deserve. You guys are also getting a treat, but I'll leave that as a surprise! ;]
  • Talk to you guys in a few hours about it!
    :suspepo:
    Cheers!
    :lovepep:
