School of Lust v0.5.2 Progress Report #3
Hi everyone!
This is going to be a rather long post, as it's been a while since our last progress report, so we thought it's about time to post an update on what we've been up to and when to expect the upcoming School of Lust release. Time flies so fast when you're busy! (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞
As we mentioned in our previous progress report, we've been developing the church ritual event, which is quite a large event. We still need more time to polish the event (multiple scenes) and do some final internal testing and we'll release version 0.5.2 immediately afterwards. The lingeries and main story events are already finished and fully tested.
We've also been polishing certain parts of School of Lust in version 0.5.2, especially the quest log. The quest log will now show when certain quests are unfinished and can't be completed yet, quests will also appear instantly (instead of having to click the category every time you open the quest log) and we've finally managed to add backwards save compatibility when new quests are added to the quest log. This was causing issues when players were using save files from older versions of the game.
Another thing we've changed in version 0.5.2 is that when you loot stuff in the Hole now, it no longer shows a message box that requires you to click to close the message box. A quick popup message now appears and disappears on its own, so it's easier to loot stuff in the Hole (even during combat).
Here's also a preview of a scene featuring Dunia that will be available in an upcoming event:

Does anyone notice anything different about Dunia? Look closely.
We've been working on the dungeon/shop mechanic that we've revealed a while back as well, which is going to allow you to craft/combine toys to create better toys in the sex dungeon, try them on the girls (Lust Toys staff) and sell them for more money. This took some time, but it's releasing rather soon, as the animations are close to being finished and the scripting is completed.
We've also been exploring alternative ways to make more in-game money these past few weeks (besides the upcoming sex dungeon mechanic), and we came up with a very exciting new feature!
A brand new idea for School of Lust is currently in development that was never part of our roadmap. Something that will allow players to make more money while still involving the girls. We don't want to spoil too much about it, as it's an unique and interesting gameplay feature that should be a fun surprise for all of you, but it became a more complex task than we anticipated.
The content we're adding to this new feature is the same amount of content you would find in most other adult games that are considered "full games". It involves a webcam, but it's not what you think it is. We'll post more information as we get closer to finishing it, but it's quite exciting, considering we've never seen it done like this in any other game before.
Here's a quick sketch for the brand new idea (spoiling one of the girls) that will be fully animated:

So yeah... We're making School of Lust the best adult game possible. We've still got plenty of things left to do, but the release of version 0.5.2 is our top priority for this month!
And last, but not least, we'd like to make a few things clear about the 3D game we've announced recently, as some of you have contacted us about it;
- Untitled Boobs Game is a working title and we'll almost certainly change the name as soon as it's closer to release (as the title is a fun "homage", but doesn't fit the game well).
- Untitled Boobs Game is being developed by a completely different team that is not associated with School of Lust. I guess that's rather obvious, considering Untitled Boobs Game is using a completely different engine, different dimensions and programming language, where most of it involves a different skill set than what is required to develop School of Lust. Only I (Lawina) am doing the writing for both games and some of the scripting and 2D art (mainly the interface).
- Untitled Boobs Game is mainly in first person (with a third person toggle) and is smaller in scope compared to School of Lust, but a lot more dense (both as in more stupid (´°ω°`) and closely compacted together). It's still a very interactive and complex game, as you would expect from us!
- The character teaser we posted recently is in-engine footage. The same quality animations are available in-game. Gameplay trailer is being worked on.
- Most of the environments in the character teaser are placeholder graphics and are being completely remade from scratch.
- Untitled Boobs Game will feature a few main characters that are also featured in School of Lust, but also brand new characters that are customizable (yay!).
- Voice acting of Natalie in the trailer is the same voice actress that will be available in School of Lust. And yes, we will add the option to turn off voices from the settings menu for both games.
- An unique setting, gameplay and story that hasn't been done (like this) in any other game (as far as we know). We're very excited to showcase it more, but the content-complete beta release of School of Lust has priority, and we don't want to change our focus until then.
As soon as the internal alpha testing starts for School of Lust version 0.5.2, we'll post a release date.
As always, thank you so much for your support and for your patience. If you have any questions, suggestions or comments, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Cheers! =)
