Whew...now that the dust is settling on the latest release I've been able to sit down and hash out what I want to do for the next release. First and foremost, thanks to everyone for the great feedback, bug reporting, and praise on V.0.75. The only real remaining issue is the videos not playing for some people, for which I still have not been able to find a fix. I've looked high and low, as well, but it doesn't help that I can't replicate the problem on any of my machines. Fret not, I will continue my search until I find a solution.
One area I got some feedback on was with the story. This wasn't surprising to me. The story arcs have gotten off track with the releases. In the past, I tried to make at least somewhat episodic, but right now, the story's not really in that kind of place. One of my main goals for the next release is to get the story and releases back into some sort of alignment.
Another goal for the next release is to have it to you in 6 to 8 weeks. I didn't like going that long between releases any more than you all did. There's a rhythm that comes with a a shorter release schedule that is lost when there is a delay like with the latest release.
What's planned for the next release? There will be some big developments in the main story involving the necklace, Bruce, and Stacy realizing how deep in the hole she's let herself get. While she's been on a sort of free-reign sexual adventure, she's going to have a reckoning soon. As for individual scenes, I don't want to spoil anything and there is still some development room, but you can for sure expect to see the Landlord's boxing match party, which is going to be the most ambitious scene of the game so far (and is already half completed, by the way), as well follow ups on some minor story lines like Jim's friend Doug's job offer to Jason, Jessie, Nate (who's been in the doghouse quite a while now), Morgan, Knocker's (and by extension, Kitty's), and Stacy's shower friend.
That's all for now. I should have some sneak peek pics out later this week for the Civic Leaders and up and a poll coming soon for Pimps and higher.
