tldr; Currently at 900 renders. Alex's scene is done. Working on finishing Risa's sex scenes, so I can get into Mason's scenes. Once Mason's scenes are finished I'll be setting a formal release schedule.
Probably! The major emotional/story beats will remain the same: Brent fucked up and got himself and Nicki in trouble, and the player is presented with the chance to fix the problem, sparking the idea of creating a charitable organization.I'm a bit worried the remake of chapter one will alter my opinion of Nicki. Am I worrying over nothing here?
The stuff that's changing is mostly about fleshing out the world, in the first chapter. We'll see more of Nicki and MC interacting at work, and get a better idea of their dynamic.
We'll actually see the sales pitch from gamer edge-lord Kobalt, which convinced MC to sink all his money into his crypto nonsense, Kobalt Koin.
We'll also meet Carolina, as well as the night-time concierge that Risa replaces. We'll see more of Guy's crappy apartment, to fully appreciate the change that comes with him living in a nice penthouse condo. We'll see more of Brent being Brent.
Basically, in addition to overhauling the events around Nicki, I want to set up some things so that later events feel a bit more like payoff. If we meet Carolina and have no idea she has a kid, it's a little more interesting when we discover Maya, later. If we meet the grumpy old guy that Risa replaces, then it's a little more shocking when we walk in and find a pretty girl behind the desk. If we see Guy's crappy apartment, the later reveal that he's bought and renovated that building has more context/weight.
Just a bunch of stuff like that!
Honestly, the reason I've kinda backed off of doing more of those text stories for the blog, is because I think they just make more sense to do in the actual game. I think Ashe's story is especially important, as the whole reveal vis a vis her troubled history as a one-time model, really needs to be highlighted in-game.Still hope one day Neon will be able to put those short stories in the game. They are amazing.
Brent's one-off story was my first stab at this, and since people seemed to like it, I'll definitely be doing more for the girls. I have one in mind for Pepper that I think would be awesome.
