0.4.0 Progress
So far I've worked primarily on the festival setup. Your previous actions and decisions will change what options are available. Such as adding people to lineup or building another stage. This is what I'm calling the preparation stage and it's entirely optional, but taking part will get you more lewds and better story results.
I haven't finished the festival preparation, I've done about half of it and there's no UI for it yet. But honestly, I was losing a little motivation as it was feeling stagnant not pushing toward the story. I therefore decided to start working on day 1 of the festival and will go back to the prep in chunks.
The festival will be choice-driven similar to New Eden, though not quite so large. Right now on Day 1 before the festival officially opens there are three 'things' you can do, but time only allows for two. Though, as with New Eden, there will be ways to get some of the content (and any of the lewds) in the future.
You also have to manage yours and Meriya's horny levels. Given the large increase of people coming here to the hub, both of you are gradually having your senses overloaded. If you don't get a release every now and again, you're judgement may be clouded when it comes to decision making. Given how frequently MC bangs his harem, this shouldn't be too much of a hassle, and it's really just down to choosing when. If you edge it too much Duvessa will arrive when you're unable to think clearly.
The right sidebar during the festival is different as a result, showing the current stats, how horny you and Meriya are and what events are at the various festival locations. An example is here:
You must be registered to see the links
. The attendees part will very much be influenced be your decisions during the preparation stage.
We're still a while off from release, and as normal when I'm trying to be pretty vague about specifics to avoid spoilers,
You may have noticed I've been very quiet... and that's pretty much because I've got my head stuck in developing. I kinda get tunnel vision with this kinda thing.
It looks like there's a few more bugs that have made it past hotfixes too. I appreciate the users who transferred these to Discord for me as it makes it much easier to track.
