You know what, I decided to check it once again. In the Codex it says that they are still dating, but seeing the scene where Jamal and Blake are in music studio, the Rebecca's question to Blake if they would date Jamal and failing to get any pictures from Rebecca about that involves Jamal I assumed they are broken up.
I don't really understand what exactly you're talking about here, so I assume that either everything is exactly how it's supposed to be or there's an error in the code which I'll look into later, closer to the release of v0.16.
How close are we to the end anyway?
Well, v0.16 won't be the last version, and neither will be v0.17, assuming nothing will stop me from releasing those. After that, we'll see.
Ah, okay. Kinda hoped we could change Josiah without dominating him or something.
He will naturally progress through the story, but as a love interest he's entirely submissive, and Blake already can get a scene where he's making Josiah kneel. More coming.
Duh, aside Blake, cause that's obvious. C'mon spill the beans! ;P
For me as a developer technical part is the most important, and I mostly rank my characters in terms of how much harder they make the process of rendering for me. And in this regard Blake is actually the best again — rendering his sprites takes next to no time. Same goes for almost all male characters as well. At the bottom of my list are Zoey, Pepper, and Suya. Their pictures take eternity to render because of extremely detailed textures.
However, all things considered, I would probably put Suya on top of my list of personalities. She's spunky.
In terms of looks, none of the characters exactly perfect for me, but I'd say Dominique is by far the closest one to what I wanted.
And when it comes to sex scenes, I like seeing Blake with a fat dick up his ass, so there are several characters to choose from.
Could you give some examples? Which you thought weren't as interesting and which got voted out by people?
Well, since they weren't interesting, I never bothered to remember them in details. They were mostly combinations of «what if» in regards of my existing characters. «What if Suya started dating Bree?» I also had huge pre-planned storylines which got cut entirely, and it doesn't really make sense to discuss them because they had to span entire updates. But yes, there was an idea to let Oleg actually take Blake to the Resistance's base. The scenes I envisioned for that route were later re-used in the slums. I abandoned this idea because the player had almost no chance of knowing about this in advance. Basically, if Tanya/Claude couldn't save Blake, that's it. He's going to the camp with twenty extremely sexually frustrated men. So, instead I made Vanessa get Blake out of the basement.
- will we get the official height chart with characters standing next to one another? I'm honestly curious after seeing several dialogues regarding how tall Tanya is.
No, we won't because of technical reasons. However, Tanya is indeed the second tallest woman in the game (after Kushari) at about 190 centimeters. It's actually pretty floaty because her model that I use for the sprites isn't all that tall, but in the scenes I make sure to stretch her depending on who's standing next to her. Coco, and Zoey are pretty tall as well.
- secret/cryptic text message you receive. Care to say something more or is it about a future content?
Read the first letters of each line.
- seeing how dreams
regarding space got somehow real (as in space-like suit that Liam wears in Deliverance) am I correctly thinking we will have robots/droids in Deliverance?
No, there won't be too much of sci-fi stuff there aside from some of the fashion choices, and even then most people would dress normally.
- who else aside mentioned characters have survived raid on slums?
Pretty much all female characters aside from Bonnie. That's it. Tafia is alive, but she won't be back.
- also are you the only one working on this game or are you actually a team of several people?
It's just me, and my Patreon supporters
Also not a question, but I went through beginning (mostly to check that Jamal + Rebecca relationship) and I just realized that the girl in the jail at the very beginning is none other than Bree!
It wasn't long-term planning at all, because I actually inserted this scene long after Bree was introduced in the story. I was remaking the first act, and wanted to make the jail segment a little longer, so yeah, I just put Bree there. Her name is never mentioned, and Blake doesn't talk to her, so he can't remember her later, but the player should recognise her.
