HELLOOOO!
How are you all? ^_^ I was away last weekend but I've been hard at work all week and it's been really productive, I've made solid progress on the upcoming update with most of my focus being on the Mod Shop!
Okay let's get into the specifics of the "betting game" as I feel it's a little misleading calling it that. So it isn't poker or anything quite so tense, instead it's a light-hearted "game" the Mod Shop crew will play in a lot of the shop's content going forward. The best way I can explain this I think is through an example:
Let's say Danny leaves to grab lunch and Moddy "bets" Lisa on what Danny brings back to eat and let's say in this example Danny always eats the same two meals at work. The player will have the choice of two options, one being correct and the other obviously incorrect. I'm hoping that it'll create a nice sense of replayability to see and unlock all of the scenes. The first scene in each route will happen automatically but after it's been seen the player will be able to select which of the scenes they wish to see which of course will depend on who is working in the Mod Shop that day ^_^
These scenes are character dependent, ROUTE dependent and also have 2 scenes per instance of the game so it is a mountain of work. These will all be repeatable of course and as always if the player is on the MS Sharing Route then the counterpart scenes on the MS Cheating route and vice versa will be unlocked in the Recollection Room for your viewing pleasure
Like I mentioned this whole concept will be an ongoing project in the coming episodes and there is plenty of room for more additions so if you think of a cool idea you'd like to see don't be shy and drop a comment or message me with it and maybe we can work something in!
Alright so that's the overview of the Mod Shop - I think it's wise to break the Mod Shop into different parts in the progress sheet because of how large the whole project is in terms of CG size - the first cheating route scene has already been completed and it's around 100 CG (it is larger than the others as it's an introduction).
Progress list:
-Byron Beach - 100%
-Instagram photos - 100%(?)
-Date with Viv Pt1 - 100%
-Date with Viv Pt2 - 100%
-Moddy's Gathering Outros - 40%~
-Harassment events - 0%
-Visiting Jo - 0%
-Council2 - 0%
Mod Shop Betting game:
-MSCheating1 Route 1 - 100%
-MSCheating1 Route 2 - 100%~
-MSCheating2 Route 1 - 0%
-MSCheating2 Route 2 - 0%
-MSSharing1 Route 1 - 25%
-MSSharing1 Route 2 - 0%
-MSSharing2 Route 1 - 0%
-MSSharing2 Route 2 - 0%
It is a crazy amount of work for an update. I really, REALLY believed was gonna be smaller than previous updates because it doesn't have much story content at all but it's absolutely inundated with sexy fun so hopefully it will be well received by you all
The good news is that all of Viv's content is completed, it just has to be implemented into RPGM. I'm gonna try to wrap up as many CG as I can by the first week of June then move across to RPGM to put it all together after that, as I mentioned in a previous post there is a LOT of RPGM stuff to do in this patch so bare with me if I can't cram everything in for a mid June release, anything that I miss will be released shortly after
You might be wondering where Paul is on the list - I've taken a break from working on that scene as I'm still very much up in the air as to where I'm taking the whole Paul series. If his content isn't in the Alpha it will be included in the Beta. I just need to be certain that I'm doing things right
I've been a little under the weather this past couple of days but feeling a good bit better today - so while I was resting instead of watching TV or something I spent my time really fleshing out the intricacies of the story right up until the final scenes - not only dialogue notes but how I'm gonna "direct" the whole storytelling aspect of it and I think I've landed on some really awesome scenes which I'm certain will excite and bewilder all of you ^_^ the latter half of the game will be tense, it will be difficult but ultimately it will be rewarding. Obviously this is a role playing game and the story is told through Lisa's eyes at all times and I haven't ever deviated from this framework but to sell the ending as powerfully as I can I have one series of scenes that will be "silently" seen almost like a mini cutscene until a flashback right at the end of the game where a big reveal happens. Doing it this way doesn't break the usual format of the game but it will keep the players in the dark to some degree - it may not even be notable to some of you until it's revisited right at the end of the game! This is of course all just planning for the future as we haven't even reached the half way mark yet or even close it honestly ^_^
With all of the sexy fun in this update, the party in the next and then the update following that will be RLD & Neon focused there's a lot to be excited for in the coming releases!!
Well that's my brain explosion for today! I hope you're all having a brilliant weekend so far <3
