Wow game is pretty good so far. Character are well done, animation is pretty good. It took a while for any lewd scene to happen but is worth it to play the 0.1 until the end. I am pretty sure I will subscribe. I am just waiting to see how often the developper plan to update the game. Took me 2 hours 45 minutes to finish the version .01. Do you plan to update every month or every two months.
Wow, that's a lot of time!!
I'll clue you in on how my dev time went for the current versions:
I formally started 0.1 in the last week of August 2022, and did everything up until the
choice scenes until early October.
IRL issues (a.k.a University) forced my hand a bit, and I took a month-long break there, picking back up early November.
Then I did stuff that whole month, finishing 0.1 + two scenes for 0.2, before taking another break.
Then I came back, did most of 0.2 from January to mid February, took another brief break, then finished the last scenes by mid-March, which was when I first shared the game on the forums here. Then I took the last two weeks to review the code, added some UI elements and prepped out the sandbox with what's to come.
It usually took me 2 to 3 days to make any given scene (any relevant segment spanning a group of characters in a location), but these kinetic scenes are pretty demanding on their own, since I have to carry the scene out through many different expressions, poses, animations and camera angles, and so on...
The Sandbox scenes should be easier to roll out in practice, since they'll rely on pre-made sprites for most of the dialogue, with special segments following full CGs, if but briefly...
It may end up depending on how many scenes I decide to add, how detailed they are, or other features such as new locations, elements, mechanics and else.
I don't have any estimates yet, but I have a little roadmap ready for when I start doing proper work in 0.3. (I'll roll out a hotfix for the current versions before that, in the following days.)
Breaks should also be diminished, since I had the benefit of not "owing anything to anyone". Hope I'll be able to get content out consistenly, so stick around! I'll keep subscribers up to date with dev news as we move forward.
Thanks!
