Gonna post this here too because hopefully it'll give everyone a better idea of where everything is on the chopping block and answer some of the more FAQ
Resident Post: The Post Patch
Helloo everyone!! ^_^
I just wanted to make a post and get us all on the same page, where my head's at and where (and when) we're moving in the coming updates
With Episode 2 nearing it's end, we have pretty much all of the major stuff out of the way leaving only Jayce's Party as the big finale. Episode 2 still feels a little bare though.. Renshire hasn't developed much from E1 > E2 so I wanted to make a patch to flesh it all out a bit.
Those meaningless NPCs walking around? Let's make them useful.
The harassment NPCs that never seem to change? Gotta fix that and add some more.
Using RPGM for seemingly no reason? Time to hit up some more mini quests.
Instagram with 0 progression in almost a year? Yeah that's my bad! ^_^
I want to give the explorers out there a reason to do so, not just to walk into a new map and be completely underwhelmed by yet another empty RPGM game full of NPCs inundating you with "Nice day isn't it?"
There is a LOT going on behind the scenes in this game and because it's only focused on Lisa's PoV I gotta find ways to try to bring in some of the gargantuan wealth of "lore" left to explore. This is one of the aims of the post patch, to not only answer some questions but to leave the player with an entirely new set of questions that I can keep updating as Lisa's stats increase. I want each district of Renshire to have a vibe. Where the West is the recovering slum, the East is a bustling storm that's falling apart and the North is a degenerate hell hole.
Still this is only a small part of the update, I'll also be using the Post Patch to include scenes that've been lost along the way:
-Visiting Jo (Remember Jo?)
-Date with Viv
-Council2
-Moddy's Gathering Outros (wait, what?)
-Instagram photos x 3 / 4
-Byron Beach
And of course the winner(s) of the poll:
-2 Paul scenes at home.
-Mod Shop Betting game (I dunno how many different paths of this there are but quite a few)
So it's an eclectic mix of fun! After replaying the Gathering scenes I just feel they need something in between the sex scenes & returning to Renshire. I cheaped out on the return from the Camping Trip but not this time, I'll just put them in the Post Patch / recollection room. A little teaser of one of the return routes can be seen above, I thought it was a cute shot! But before that I gotta write out the bathhouse scene and fix up the missing recollection scenes so I'll give you guys a bit of a roadmap of where I'm going:
- Chapter 2 (Bathhouse)
- Poll regarding saves
- Poll on Lisa's night outfit 1
- Post Patch Release
- Poll on Lisa's Exhibitionism 3 outfit
- Chapter 3 (Jayce's Party)
I've received a lot of really positive feedback on the Gathering which is just awesome because this means that the future Mod Shop events are sure to be hits too
I am real excited to get started on those for sure, different events for different routes always hits a little different x)! You'll get a peek into the future MS content in the Post Patch with the introduction of the betting game <3
I always do this man, I am certain that I had something else to post here.. I've lost it >_>!
Ah well.. that'll do for today! Hope you're all happy and well folks! <3
