Good to know the game is alive and well! I want to see what changes will happen! I see that it will still be sandbox style, but I feel like you can do more things with it to make it more immersive...I am immensely happy to answer your questions!
1- Yes, I'm choosing to make a loop similar to a gif, even though it indicates loss of frames. There would be more static images that alternate until the player leaves or skips the scene. This is not only to make the game a little more immersive, but also to reduce the download size, since videos represent more than 60% of their current size.
2- Yes, the animations will actually be images, so skipping or speeding up the dialogue will make them pass by. This was something that had been worrying me in the last few updates.
3- Many characters were added, today there are 18 girls with whom the MC can have a relationship and 13 men who can be friends or enemies of the MC. Everything will depend on your choices, each one will have a personality and specific routes. The school system will follow the main story, which will be a link to all other routes.
4- Basically there was a reformulation of the game's main story. A few scenes were discarded, many others were introduced in between, and a lot of new content is already ready. All 15 girls who already appeared in the statuses have effective participation in the game, in addition to 3 other new ones who arrived, Tiffany, Naomi and Tasha, which was a promise I made to my friend Armada1987 some time ago. There are also new male and secondary characters who will coexist with the plot and may be related to its story. So I would say there is a LOT of new content in this update.
5- The main corrections are:
→ Removing videos and implementing the loop to make the game lighter and more immersive.
→ New status menu, now you can access the sex scenes already done with the girls there, as well as track your points with her in Love, Perv and Nice. There is also a bonus of effects, where there will be photos of them in specific outfits, such as school, casual, lingerie, pajamas, naked, etc.
→ Animated sex bars to show your partner's pleasure (similar to the fight model) and a more attractive menu to change positions, people, and intensity of the scene.
→ Teleport system, to prevent the player from wandering downwards on the map and go straight to the objective they want. (In fact, I'm thinking about deactivating the map for now and leaving just this model until the entire story is completed, to save time.)
→ Reformulation of the main story, in order to bring a link to all routes and not deviate too much from my real objective, even though the MC was already involved in it.
All these mechanics mentioned in item 5 are already ready and working perfectly. Which reassures me to inform you that now I just need to really focus on creating the scenes, since they are already designed and written. For this reason, the update should come in July until I finish some pending acts, to leave each of the 18 girls with at least one sex scene created and their entire story completed up to that point.
Will the basis of the plot still be the same?
Will all the girls still be available or have some of them been scraped?
Will this game still have gay scenes with Ryan?
Seeing as there will be several male characters (13), have you ever thought about what it would be like to have a female MC to romance the male characters? (This question is just out of curiosity!)
I hope these questions didn't bother you!
