Hello, how are you doing? Hopefully, still alive after the festivities. Anyway, we need some help. To realize all our goals we need to update to a newer version of Ren'Py. the game engine we use, it's being developped pretty actively and the newer versions have many new useful features as well as bugfixes. Unfortunately, transitioning from an older version of Ren'Py to a newer one also reveals many unexpected and unusual bugs that simply are unpredictable, and that's where we need help. We will make a build of update 0.19 on the new game engine version that will be needed to played through and through to discover the most unimaginable bugs. If it works out, we will be able to finish the work that would take us many days much faster. All of the bug reports will be stored in a special channel in our discord.
Our discord:
Anyone who wants to take part in this should write to me, Arthur (shadow Portal#1989), I'll grant you a special Beta-tester role. We'd be infinitely grateful for your help.
Bugs should be reported like this:
If it's a visual bug: A screenshot and a short description of where you discovered it
If it's a crash: A screenshot of the error screen or the traceback.txt file which can be found in the game folder after a crash and a quick description of how you achieved the crash.
Yours,
Shadow Portal team.

Will this new update be only bug fixes, etc? or will there also be new scenes (like some more zergling scenes)?

Hello, we often get messages from you about the upcoming Sarah's transformation. Many, oh so many of you wish we introduce the possibility to leave Sarah in her current state (no mutations), and the ability to finish the entire game in her human form. We spent a looong, a very loooooooooooooong time discussing this and thinking of different ways and solutions that can solve this problem. We came to the conclusion that the best way would be to make two completely different routes, which would mean twice as much development time, which is unacceptable, and would split the community, everyone would want their favourite route to be developed faster... And here we are at an impasse. Every solution we came up with eventually led to the same thing, an increase in the amount of work and creation of several routes. But yesterday, an apple hit me on the head, and I immediately understood the essence of life. I discovered knowledge previously unknown to even exist, and I found a way to make the next part of the game both the way you want and without a huge time cost. I rejoiced and immediately wrote down the idea, but even the revelation I experienced wasn't enough for me to come up with a solution that wouldn't lead to our game becoming even more of an AU, but I want to assure you, it's not groundbreaking or anything. It's just a couple of our ideas, a concept, you could say, and it could very well happen in the SC universe.
So what's below are HUGE spoilers about the future of the game in general. If you don't want to know that, it's time to stop reading this and just vote, whether you give us the green light to implement our ideas or not.

Warning: Spoilers!!!
So, those who don't want to know the next phase of development are gone, so now we can tell you our idea. Firstly, we want to make Sarah have 2 forms, normal Sarah, and Queen of Blades (QB) Sarah, though it won't be her final QB form, of course. After her transformation, Sarah doesn't change forever, she just becomes able to take the form of QB, for a while, after which she turns back to her terran self. Of course there will be a lot of unique mechanics and events/dialogues/scenes depending on how often you transform, and of course unique scenes for each form. The way we see it will involve very juicy scenes, and we only told you the basics. The main problem with this solution is that, well Sarah can transform (almost) at will, and it seemed a little AU, but we thought that it could be plausible, since her body is unstable a the moment and could be constantly mutating and maybe later she will be stabilized. Or not. As far as the plot goes, Sarah will need to earn the Swarm's trust, heh, I think you guessed how, no Stukov, only our beloved Zerg, heh-heh-heh. So that's about it, we want to make the player be able to play both the normal Sarah, and QB Sarah, and let them choose.

good, add different ending. 1. normal sarah with little sex 2. transform sarah with so many sex scene / hot scene. I like number 2. because Sarah cannot return to earth, Sarah must choose what become.

I honestly would like to see human Sarah have a lot of sex scenes. I don't really get into monster porn, so any transformations will likely turn me away from the game. Multiple endings would be a good idea. But, if staying human makes her have less sex, I will likely be turned away from the game, as well.

The jerk-off-week event only has a single level, the amount of days doesn't decrease because you already finished it, we'll fix that.

maybe add scene for tentacle toys, food scene (last scene) with a very large hole (like Worm) that can eat people, and Sarah must eat there (with scenes of masturbation). Sarah can walk out of the room again. there sarah can choose sex with zergling, abathur's or stukov.

Hello, everyone!
We're back to you with a little news. As we said before, in the 20th update we will work on improving what we have already done. Specifically the start of the game and the Stukov arc. Most of the changes will be made in terms of the scene structure, now there will be no moments in which Sarah behaved like a slut a moment ago, and in a minute she acts like a gentlewoman. Also, now there will be no need to pixel hunt for scenes you have not yet seen and how to get to them. We have worked on all this and developed a handy UI that will help you, we hope you like it.
In parallel, we are working on the next phase of the game, and it will be just mind-boggling. In the near future we will be doing a week-long marathon of zerg with whom Sarah will have to "interact" and with whom Sarah will have to "communicate". We are finally finished with their design, but it will still be an early version, you will see the final versions later. The continuation of the story, namely, the beginning of Sarah's transformation and her placement in the chrysalis are ready, we would really like to add them in the 20th update, but we doubt that we will be able to, although we will do everything in our power to work faster.
Approximate time of release of the version: the end of February.
Let us announce what you have to prepare for:
  • (Possibly) The continuation of the story.
  • Reworking of the scene structure.
  • Moving to an updated game engine
  • Event change: The Maze, a map is now available, you no longer have to wander blindly through it.
  • Working on UI (global rework)
  • Scene tree addition
  • Notification addition
  • Scene tips and hints
  • Reworking of the counters
  • Bug fixing
Respectfully,
Shadow Portal team.

So still no new zergling scenes?
I assume since they're reworking the entire game, we'll be deleting all old saves and starting completely from the beginning, so in my mind there's really no need to add new scenes to the current version. If the entire game mechanics are being changed, I'm just gonna delete everything and start over once the new version comes out.

Don't worry. You are always forced to start from scratch or to use one of the option to start from a previous version.
