DO NOT work for DS and I'm just giving my thoughts
Long term plans
Sep 20 at 4:25am
Today I want to tell you about some of our long term plans. Every month we plan content for several versions in the future. Sometimes we do everything on time, sometimes we don't. This is why client has some images of the future content.
But our plans aren't just about future events, dialogs, and characters. Here are some examples.
*note* plans for 0.7 until game is complete
Male protagonist
We're thinking about adding male protagonist in the near future. We also decided to add some rudimentary story, he won't be there just for the sandbox elements. Some dialogs and events will have to be changed up a bit, of course. For example he won't be too shy to change in front of his classmates. Instead he's going to seduce Julia. Also, male protagonist version of Julia will have a girlfriend and main protagonist will be helping Julia on her journey of self discovery.
We planned this from the beginning, so technically it won't be as complicated and we won't have to change too much code to implement him. You may wonder how are we supposed to do all this work? Well, we have a new member on our team, who is going to work on dialogs and events. We're sure we'll be able to make even more content now.
You'll be able to see male protagonist if you start a new game in 0.7. You won't be able to pick him yet, though, we haven't actually implemented him into the game yet.
*note* we gave into peoples demands for a male protagonist but you won't be able to use him as he's not a workable character yet (I'll stick to Kate, I play way too many that uses a male protagonist, I welcome change)
Offline version of the game
We're not promising anything, but we're seriously concerned about ping issues and possibility of our server going down. We're thinking about moving all server logic into the client without changing the current structure too much.
Maybe we'll return to our old model, client will automatically download updates from our server, but you won't need an online connection to play.
*note* still need to connect for the client to update...so no more delay by going offline or using a faster server maybe?
That's our plans. Don't ask us "When?" and we won't tell you "Soon™"
*note* so if you ask DS will say soon everytime? so best not to ask
I'll tell you more about our plans about 0.7 in one of the future post.
*note* ok, sounds good
