Finally, time to report what happened the last weeks, and where we going from it. I hope you like the update, I had a blast writing the scenes (especially the two BDSM ones). But the time has come, no more distractions, the only focus here is the prostitution AKA Sex Worker jobline of Ursus.
But before we get to that, I have an announcement regarding the online version. As you know, there are no clips on the online version, that was because the game exceeded the 1000 files limit of itch.io so I had to upload it without them. Before, the files were hosted by my dear Unruly, but since he's not able to host them anymore, and because that limit, I had to do this. But last week I found a place to host the clips, the thing is they will have to be gifs, so they will load slower, but I guess it's better than nothing. I have to convert every webm file into gif for this version (the offline version will remain the same), upload them and include the links into the game, and that will take at least a couple of updates. This won't affect any current development, and I'm working at my own pace with this. But expect good news about the online version in a few months.
On the game side, I'm doing the initial interview for the Sex Worker job. It's inititated at Marc-Us sex shop, with Mack, where he'll evaluate you on the basic skill requirements to work as a whore for Ursus. However, passing this part will lead you to another interview, now INSIDE Ursus (similar to what happened with Dalton on JCS) but this time, you'll be evaluated by the Ursus Vice President, Elric Adams. As you may know, Mack was the main Love Interest in this storyline. His rough and dominant behavior fits well with neutral and sub players. But with dom players, he doesn't fit, so I added a second love interest on this storyline, Elric.
Elric is one of the founders of Ursus, alongside Mack, and have some history together, but right now they hate each other and barely talk in the office. Initially, I intended him as a major NPC on Ursus, but now I have him as LI. On the surface, he acts like a thug in a corporative suit, very similar to Mack, but he's a sub, and if you manage to show him who's the true boss, he'll be your slave to play at the end. This LI is intended for dom players and will take you through missions where you must show who's in charge. If you go for Mack, you'll get missions intended for sub players (neutral may give it a go but you'll have to endure some sub missions). The idea is to adapt the Ursus storyline to both types of players (JCS and the UFL storylines were too sub focused), and well, I want to try my hand with a storyline completely opposite of the ones I did in the past.
My goal is to make the missions different depending on whom you'll pursue. The game will warn you when the time to choose comes.
Well, that's it. Back to the cave. Have a happy new year, and take care of yourselves and your loved ones. I'll be around if you have any doubts.
