Yes, limiting is complex as visuals expand. Still wish you'd add the graphics before extending the story. I've played this for many versions and it keeps adding early detail and such, but all the images still lack impact. In many cases there is frames with just background.
The longer the game gets, the more frustrating it will become to start over to seen the completed early scenes as even in SKIP it takes forever to get through each day. Boomatica had this problem it going far out concentrating on core characters, then going back and adding in several new ones. Had to rebuild the entire game, not just enhance versions.
Right now the goal is that we're going back and fixing up our early content in the game for it's writing and sprite visuals, etc. With that in mind, we actually have already started work underway on new cg scenes and if all goes well. we'll have things caught up with where we're focusing on stuff.
So for update 0.15 for example, we converted the whole format thing from day/dates into making Episode 1. Said episode has about 3 cg scene moments, but they're being worked on right now. So of course it's delayed, but we just started work on the cg art a few days ago for this month.
The goal is to have 4+ cg scenes before update 0.16 releases on Nov 4th. 3 of those would be for Episode 1. The remaining 1 cg scene would be for Episode 2 in update 0.16. Then by Dec 5th, when we release update 0.17 we should have the cg art caught up to where we're at so that updates for the game moving forward from there will all have it's cg art at the release of new Episodes.
I do understand the issues with all of this though, where it gets tiring to replay content and more so if you already read everything the first time and there weren't any cg scenes. Then we add those cg scenes later and you don't really want to read everything once again for the real impact of those scenes. It's a struggle, cause we could delay new game updates and let cg art catch up as mentioned above.
But then that's 2 months of no new game updates until Dec 5th, which if you think about it. It'd offer not just Episode 2, but also Episode 3 at the same time together with cg art ready for both. But the slight issue is how to handle no content for November mainly.
Ah, okay, thanks for the info! That sounds great to me, I definitely don't mind it being optional. What I meant by my original comment is that if you see a game like this with it stating it will have scat/farting/peeing moments and start getting upset that you saw something like that in game, don't act surprised, you were told is all I was saying
It's good to know some scenes are planned, and I'm extremely happy that the Rachel scene is indeed getting a CG, I did originally think that it might get one to be honest, just wasn't entirely sure.
I would love to see some scenes similar to the Rachel scene, but with scat and/or farting also. It could even be a desperation moment with one of the girls and she just so happens to be wearing panties instead of a diaper, kinda similar to the Bridget locker room scene early on, but she has to go in the bushes or around a corner or something, just as an example. I also wouldn't be against some sort of kinky nude farting scene with Erika on her route, would love that considering it's been mentioned that she's into that sort of thing with Brandon.
Best of luck with the game by the way, love it! Been a fan for a good while now
It is a odd situation, as everyone who does enjoy diaper stuff or doesn't mind it tends to have different views on what they like about it. Some might simply like just clean, cutesy stuff going on without bringing scat/farting/peeing into it. While others might like one or two of the above, but not another one, etc.
We're going to really try our best to get cg art pushed in the remaining months of this year to really set the way for what to expect for cg art as we continue into 2021. With our kickstarter now launched, the main base funding from that if everything goes well, is to help cover cg art costs mainly. We'll do what we can with our patreon funding to help as well, but ideally to help speed things along on our updates.
I'd be looking to hire a programmer who can handle the engine work, as I currently juggle writing and engine work since the start of this year. Not having to deal with the engine work would help open up more writing time to get ahead on what's needed still for the game. So depending on how our funding and the kickstarter works out, maybe sometime early in 2021. We'll possibly be able to afford to hire a programmer onto the team without it cutting into cg art funds % set aside each month or from the ks.
We do have some interesting scenes for the future, some that I won't mention since we're not there yet in the game. But rest assured, Erika will have some farting related stuff seen.
We do want to balance things so that we don't see all the girls engaging in the same stuff, plus when also factoring in sexual scenes. But we'll have some very nicely done cg scenes to be seen here soon enough, the one that has just finished being worked on looks stunning to say the least.
I kinda like option 2 more personally plus I feel like a lot less people would be pissed if you picked option 2! Get it pissed? *ba dum tss* *Boooooooo*
Seems like a good way to handle it with it being easier to not mess something up later in the middle of a scene and accidentally seeing stuff they don't want.
