Future Content + Return to Story lines!
I'm very glad to have this part over and done with. There are a few engine changes left but they are not so significant to reworking base systems. More features will be tacked on in the future but for now we're going back to story. Phew!
Now that that's out of the way, our girls have come out of hibernation and are warming up for some steamy sessions. The order of updates I have planned coming are the following:
- Annie will receive a minor image update that will add a few images to her script in areas that felt a bit lacking. Some sections of the story can drag on without a visual element and whilst that's somewhat immersive, sometimes too much immersion can end up being boring/monotonous. Nick, our artist, will be working on that in parallel to me working on the following 2.
- While above is happening, I will be writing Lily and Emma scripts. Emma's script will be a medium/larger update so I'll be working on that with Lily's script in parallel. So Lily's update will come out before Emma's reset/premium story but they won't be taking time away from each other. It's just so we can return to a good pace of updates following the big engine changes as opposed to having to wait another month for a story update. Annie and Lily updates should seg way nicely into Emma's bigger update!
- After all of the above is done, we will return to June's story as I've been meaning to give it a makeover both under and over the hood. The scope of her world will increase quite a bit and I will take the month for her update to clean up and polish the logic, images, and introduce new content both before and after where June ended up. I'm very excited for this update!
- Then, following above, I intend to finally add our new premium character, Belle. This was the character that had won the polls and the story choice votes. We will have some follow up votes on refining her look/design in different ways. Premium voting will return in that shape. Her base look will be, of course, in contest. These votes will happen throughout the previous set of updates. But after June's story, I'll be working toward adding the new character.
- Mai would be the last one on the list to receive an update. I'm sure many of you are still curious about what kind of things will happen following Clara's proposal!
It's been a lot of work on my end despite things feeling slow on the other side of things but there are so many useful systems. Given it all, playing the game should be a more streamlined experience! I don't think there is a phone game out there with both on the fly, save/load and also revert/rewind. Writing them should be a step simpler as well.
This update will have only 3 characters playable: Annie, Mai and Lily. But Emma will return to the cast shortly after, followed by June, followed by our new character Belle, so things will quickly rebuild from here - don't fret! There will be more characters than ever before. Until then please enjoy the new systems! I'll be hard at work getting all the new content in the game!
