Progress Update - What's next? - Info
What's next? There are quite a few things to talk about. I hope I won't forget anything.
First something personal. I'll move to a different country in December (New job). Meaning with the move, the new job and the Holidays, I'll be busy and won't have that much time to focus on the next episode in December. I'll prepare part of the script, but the renders will be worked on after the Holidays. More info about Episode 11 below. This will also give me some time off the game because those lengthy episodes drain me.
So, what am I doing now? I spoiled it on Discord already last week (Work in Progress):
I'm finally working on the Replay Gallery! I'm still learning the how-to's and the what-not's, but I'm getting there.
Now a question for you. What scenes do you want in the gallery? Obviously, the sex scenes and nude scenes, but are there other scenes you want in there? Let me know in the comments or on

.
Since I'm messing with the code anyway, I'm going to do a code overhaul for all episodes:
- Fix some stuff that will make it easier for me to code in the future.
- Adding new statements which I already needed but had to work around and that caused a lot of bugs.
- Re-evaluate certain points thresholds. For example, I don't like that you have to choose between Layla and Erynn very early on, without actually getting to know them. That will give you more scenes in the long run.
- Changing scenes and labels to make them easier to use in the gallery.
This will break ALL saves and you'll need to start a new game! I know, I know...
But to compensate a little bit, I won't wait to release the gallery and code changes until Episode 11 is finished. Once the changes are done, I'll release it, maybe even in December, at the least in January. That way, you'll have the time to create new saves before the next episode releases.
Also included in that update: Episode 1 will be re-rendered with better quality and some changes. (Spoiler pictures in weekly previews)
- Emily will have a new car
- Emily will have a new house (Bedroom/Kitchen/Living room,...
- Slight MC room changes (more to come in the future)
- Melissa will have a new house/backyard/pool
- scenes will have more detail, more people/cars on the streets
- The Monroes will get a huge house upgrade (Work in Progress. Don't need it for episode 1, but the changes will be seen in episode 11!)
- I want to change the look of the school, make it more modern looking from the outside but haven't found a good asset yet. If you know of a good asset of a building that can be used as a school, let me know.
Other episodes will be upgraded in between, whenever I have time to spare, but continuing the story and working on episode 11 has priority.
Episode 11 will be a shorter episode (At least I hope). It will include 2 days for now (Tuesday and Wednesday). Some scenes have been spoiled already in episode 10. For example, the Erynn photoshoot and the Layla hot tub party. Those 2 characters will probably have the focus in episode 11.
Zach is still on his family vacation. So, punching his face has to wait a little longer.
I'm not sure if all characters will get scenes. Maybe a cameo in another scene or a short phone call, but surely not every character will have a lengthy scene.
I think that's it? If not, you'll hear it next week.
