Hello everyone,
I hope you're all doing well. I've got something exciting planned for us in the next week or two: a big vote on Discord. I wanted to give you a heads-up because it's important for me that you have the time to consider what you would like to see in the game, especially since this will concern the FreeRoam part.
Just like in the first update, you'll be able to roam around the motel at the same in-game time. My goal is for each major update to enhance the evenings, making them truly playable according to player preferences. This time around, the choice to enter rooms or not will be yours.
You'll have the freedom to explore:
All the rooms of the motel
The other part of the motel, including the laundromat, the gas station, and the diner
And possibly the bar, depending on the choices you make
With each major update, these areas will be accessible without restrictions, except those imposed by the storyline. This means you'll be able to interact with various characters and scenarios. I'll provide a complete list of rooms to visit and characters you might encounter, doing my best to avoid spoilers.
For example, you might find the opportunity to revisit Karen and Juliette's room, with Karen absent and Juliette alone, or bump into Aaliyah eating a snow cone at the gas station. I aim to incorporate as many scenes as possible.
Creating scenes for every room and environment would be ideal, but working solo makes this a challenging feat. Therefore, choices will have to be made. I also plan to use this opportunity to simplify the bonus update system, making it less complex for me. This could potentially allow for a game update every month, enhancing the variety of characters and situations.
Rest assured, the free roam experience will remain as you've seen in the first update, optionnal, with no grinding or farming, just exploration of the motel and its surroundings.
I'm giving you a week or two to think about which characters you'd like to meet in the motel, including the possibility of visiting the MC's room. While I have my plans, your preferences matter to me, and they will help prioritize the integration of scenes based on popular demand.
It's now over to you. I'm eager to hear your thoughts.
