Here is today's free post. I know last time you guys got your panties in a bunch over this free stuff. I guess you rather it be worth a dollar and have it leaked. So what I would request you all do is pretend someone leaked it for you and go check it out. It's Rogue!

And for the zonies who take this stuff very seriously this was tongue and cheek. Which means a joke, or satire.

Hi, I just wanted to say that the way you made Storm is really cool. I hope things go well for you with the new game. But I wanted to ask, who's going to be the main character? Is it a well-known X-Men character or a new one? Cheers!

It will be Rogue and Kitty this chapter. We have some cool plans for chapter 2, but that is only if this is popular.

Thanks for the thoughtful questions, and I'm glad you went through the vault and engaged in the story. SR7 puts a lot of time into dialogue.

1. We're going to finish the plot, as that was a direct criticism from this thread, and a large part of the overall criticism from here last year. But we're not looking to wrap up SU at all. There will be lots of small events to do after we finish the plot or before. For instance lots of our patrons want more cell content, so we're discussing ways we can add to certain cells via mini events and such.

2. I'm unaware of this, but I will bring it to the attention of our team.
Catching up on this thread, and this caught my attention.

It's reassuring that you haven't thrown in the towel on the cell content despite the huge issues associated with it. It needs to be said that the slow corruption of the heroines is the absolute core of the game. The Slut costumes are the absolute peak of all parody content ever made in this genre, that cannot be said too emphatically. It's amazing to see the characterization there and it absolutely leaves the viewer wishing for more.

So it's really frustrating to see that it's on the far end of a lot of logistical and technical problems which make adding to it a nightmare.

To be frank, it would be totally understandable to stop building future content with outfit selection in mind and just turn out new content with them in their slut outfits specifically (or the other outfits when and were they seem appropriate). I found myself editing the registry to reset the introductions with the slut outfits because those scenes are the games absolute peak (and unfortunately they aren't the same without the dialogue in the vault).

The heroines falling to corruption (or struggling against it to varying degrees of success, varying from fatalism, resignation and defiance) is the big cliffhanger in SU. It sets up alot of tantalizing options to see things develop post slut transformation.

Particularly if you were to setup Lex playing the heroines who have fully bought into the corruption like Stargirl and Cassie against those who are still strongly resisting like Black Canary, that would be dream content right there (Yes please to more Lesbian content). All of the Cell content is rich fodder for following up on (seeing Lex reward those who have come along and punish those who havent, seeing interactions with villains and rivals, being granted more privileges in the lair etc).

If content like that was in the cards, I don't think any fans would really mind losing the customizable outfits for it. Great to see that it's on your minds as well.

Our idea was to create little side "events" that progress certain cell situations. This way it removes the costume needs for art. So we're on the same page as you.

What are the chances of getting Mera or visitng Atlantis in future releases?
We're looking to finish up the plot, while working to tie up some of the technical debt that has accumulated (unfinished events, progressions, etc). During this time, we could totally allow you to fuck fish with Aquaman lol.

Some fans only joined because of the outfits there had been numerous reasons to remove it in this thread alone but as one who really got into SU over the years having diferent outfits leads to a gameloop and progression in the cells besides the actions.
It's a key part on why it works and any change of that would drastically make the cells repeat to much. The outfits are there to change the visual aspects and keep the flow going for the player.

I can tell that because I played some clones that have a similar gameloop and it shows a substantial change when there are no outfits to chose from.

Honestly you can't please everyone there will be people who will tireout from reading text and complain on a thread like this.

I just noticed the Rogue announcement

I wish this dev was anywhere near as good at completing content as they are at announcing new content that will be neglicted but also used as an excuse when they neglict finishing old content.

This dev is what people are talking about when they say mission creep.
These posts without context are just boring. Please list all then new content we have announced that "will" be neglected. Then can you please cite our excuses when we neglect finishing old content?

I'm just here to say thank you to the devs.
Hey, we should be thankful to you.

Very good points, and something we have noted recently. Thanks SoulFoZoid.

Literally all of the events post the first in Something Unlimited, Bend or Break 2 was announced and neglected, you introduced characters that took literally years to see their content completed in Something Unlimited, multiple game mechanics in Something Unlimited were introduced and left by the wayside. Something Unlimited from front to back is neglected content.

Yo, Gamedev since you're here in this thread, any chance we could see an actual scene replay feature in Something Unlimited? And by that I mean a way to replay the scenes with dialogue. The best scenes in the game are the final costume/full corruption scenes and it sucks having to start a new save file just to replay them one time.

Ok thanks for confirmation. The girls' costume menu makes it look like they have loads and I assumed it must be the Halloween ones.
from what I've read, that's basically old place holder slots, probably from early on when they just started the cell content and weren't sure how big that'd get. Maybe had it stayed with Mercy, Harley, and maybe the other henchwomen, they might've had all slots filled?

it does work in the Ren'py build, i think. So, once that's not solely for mobile devices anymore...

I just want to point out that Oriandu has been complaining about our project for 7+ years (his first post here was about us being 1 day late). All the things he brings up have been addressed, and he continues to use cherry picked context to fuel his 1500+ posts about how our project is bad. I don't understand why he's still here, he was predicting our demise 7 years ago.

The events, Oriandu knows that we have stated that not ever girl will have content in the events. Yet he still suggests that this is a requirement for completion. It's just used to misinform others. He also knows we're going back to old content and cleaning things up, but he doesn't let you know that.

For instance, he's bring up BoB2, he knows it was announced in 2018 (you probably can find a complaint), and he knows we fired the team member working on it (ending it's development, he probably made a comment). Then there was an incident of a promo being shared that never should have, which he knows as I have replied to his many other comments regarding it.

The multiple mechanics has been addressed for the past 8 years. He knows we use a visual scripting editor, and that the threat system wouldn't be implemented ever. Again he's bringing up an issue from 8-9 years ago.

The content about characters introduced again was a complaint from 2016-2018 cell content. He knows this is completed content now (his statement says so), and a fan favourite. I'm sure you can find a comment regarding how it wouldn't ever be finished.

Our Ren'py version will have this feature built in.

Hey Dev been following this for awhile like what i see so far. Had a question is there any future plans to add to get gender bender content in this? For example pink kryptonite on superman. (the new retconned version, not the old version of pink kryptonite that turns him gay lol)
