Hi
First of all thank you for your constructive comments.
I understand some of you are/were patrons and thanks to you : I could make the english voice over.
Now let me reply to your comments.
Story :
The entire story (5 chapters in total) have been written 2 years ago, it was supposed to be a regular novel with some illustrations initially (a bit like Gina's rewards).
I don't want to disclose too much to avoid spoiler and also to give me "freedom" to adjust things if necessary.
I understand you can be confused as you only have access to a portion of this story.
The "6 month later" is a cut I decided to do to speed up the pace, I removed many dialogues between Sylvia and the player.I summarized it with this little pan animation and texts as I though players won't like managment lessons and everyday life in office stories.
Considering the whole story structure, it made sense to cut it IMO. We can talk about it later, at least when chapter 2 will be completed.
Léa's background will be revealed in the 2nd chapter (part of it in the upcoming release), I hope you will like the way I implemented it as I choose a non-linear approach for it.
Valerie will have more exposure on the 3rd chapter. She is more than just a "rich bitch" and I really appreciated the comment about giving her grace (thanks).
Those 3 girls have been modeled from what built everyone personality : What you learned (Sylvia), What you experienced (Léa), What you inherited (Valérie).
None can be 100% good or 100% bad.
Renpy controls :
Right clics to save and go back using mouse wheel are disabled because of mini-games. I work on bringing them back when player are not playing mini-games. You can still achieve those tasks using icons at the bottom of the screen tho.
Speaking of mini-games (boatrun and magic balloons),you have the option to disable them from the preferences.
I will spend time,later on, improving them as for now they are at a proofs of concept stage now.
Still nobody made a pseudo 3D racer with renpy before (as far as I know at least ...)
Android :
Android support is still experimental but It's really interesting to do. If you encountered an issue with maps please give me feedback on PM.
Development speed and funds :
I am alone coding this game and I do my best to be fair, open and deliver good quality given my limited budget and time.
80% of Sylvia's development budget came from my own.
Kimochi's campaign barely funded coloring BBC line arts and background extentions for chapter 1 & 2
None of the patron rewards (comics, audio stories) were done using Patrons money. It's pure bonus content !
All patrons pledges collected went into english voice over and extending chapter 2 sex scenes.
All artists working for the game are paid upfront, there is no "revshare" bullshit.
I thank you for your comments and giving me an oportunity to talk about this.
