From the Patreon page;Hi there, so apparently it's unwelcome to ask for an ETA on the next update here, but could someone tell us approximately the approximate mean of intervals between updates ?
Q. How long does an update take?
A.
Sadly, it is an impossible thing to give an estimation on. This is my hobby and real-life can tend to take priority when needed. Under 3-4 months is what would be realistic. 3 is the goal.
But I have had updates taken a lot more. That I want to improve, but alas, it can tend to happen. Hopefully, in the future I am in a comfortable enough spot to go full time on this project! But for now- there is no guarantee for monthly or even bi-monthly releases.
Hey HopesGaming I hope you've been well.
Just couple of questions for ya (if you don't mind, apologies in advance if some has been asked already):
1) Is there any way we can keep track of the relationship stats with each character (whether it's the red heart "love" stat or the purple "respect" [?] stat) or where the MC stands in his morality (since these morality choices will has consequences in later updates)?
Or do you prefer that the players just play without knowing (like the phrase "just go with the flow"?)
2) Will there be any updates to the girls portraits in 0.06.5? Or is it being postponed till 0.07 (to be implemented among the other gameplay changes)?
Not really expecting any portrait changes for Luna or Gracie (since the events weren't focused on them, though it would be nice), but with Isabel I guess I'm kinda hoping we're getting the portrait update (with the recent events focused highly on her) if we had the MC take the netori route.
3) It's a fictional region, but approximately how big would you say is Lucania's area in modern day City standards (e.g. roughly size of London? Or New York, or perhaps another region/City?)
4) Wilfred, is one of the most essential character to the DeLucas, no doubt fundamental to the Family's success. In times of War between the Big 5 (and others), has there been any times in the past in which he had close calls with assassinations or kidnapping (becoming a target for the other Families, with a bullseye on his back)?
If we take a look at it from any rival Family's POV, perhaps it's just me but wouldn't it be reasonable for them to think they'll get the upper hand over the DeLucas if they take Wilfred out of the equation somehow (I mean yes, the DeLucas have many strong characters like the 4 Serpents, the Capos, Elite Soldados etc, but noone seems to be as good as Wilfred to possibly replace him, especially the management side of running the Family)?
5) Would you ever consider making it snow in Lucania for main Story or Lewd/Freeroam update, set in the Christmas Holidays perhaps?
6) Would you possibly consider having the characters (for both girls & the guys, though I guess I'd put more importance on the girls. Yeah I guess I'm a little bit bias in this matter lol) change their default clothes/attire in the future?
It was fun to watch Gracie trying out Cynthia's old clothes for the Beachhouse prison event, & it was so endearing seeing Luna in her yellow dress. But these are used limited for specific events, so I am just curious to ask if you're willing to give the girls updated default attire.
1) Right now the way you keep track of the love stats is via the girls' portrait images. There is no way to check for the respect stat and for morality MC portrait will be changed depending on it.
No plans for exact numbers on it, but may change in the future.
2) That's the plan !
3) It's far from anything like London, New York, etc. Those are major cities where Lucania is more of a small town where everyone knows who everyone is. A community. (But not that small either)
4) Wilfred has been through many unique situations. The story will dwell into who Wilfred is the deeper we get into the story.
5) Perhaps What holding me back, for now, to truly 'explore' lucania is that I am planning to commission the whole town. I want a town build from the ground to fit my story and not the current town (which is based on a german real life town heh)
ON THAT NOTE; if anyone knows someone that takes a commission for creating house assets for Daz (such as buildings and towns) hit me up!
6) The clothes are kind of iconic for the girls right now (and even for the guys) and that was what I had planned for to happen. Whenever a clothing change happens it is because something unique is happening.
A whole attire change is planned. For specific characters. For specific reasons, heh.
