Hello everyone! It's been a while and I want to communicate a few things. First, we're still working on our update. As is usually the case, we have lives besides that so sorry if people expected the update sooner.
Second, All that said, We're in the final stages of completing the update!
We're still tweaking things, but the thing to note about this update is the pacing and the scenes we wanted to add.
We didn't intend for the update to be as heavy as it ended up being, but there are some revelations we have about the characters that can't be done any other way. We find out or tease some very deep and traumatic things from some of the main character's pasts. The main focus of this update are Rachel, Nicole, Taylor and Emily. Each dealing with their own issues and or their own regret. However, it doesn't leave the MC out of it. How does MC fit into their stories? MC shares a past with Rachel and Nicole, so how will he consolidate them?
Rachel, a betrayal; and Nicole, a trauma. We will find out some bigger revelations soon about them and MC.
Speaking of MC, how is he? In the first couple of updates it seemed that his problems were solved. But is that really the case? Does he have no room to grow? Well, in update 0.3 when he was gathered around the kitchen table, you could catch that he got awfully defensive when asked about himself. What's his deal and what does that mean for his relationships?
Emily on the other hand is a bit different. She and MC have really hit it off and seem to be good friends. There is a bond that isn't just male and female, but is that what both of them want? Who knows... maybe you can change that...
Taylor is the gym attendant that looks like she uses the facilities to great success. In 0.2 we received some intimate photos of her and 0.3 we get a birds eye view of exactly why. However, what does that mean for MC? MC's a nice guy, and of COURSE when a lady sends you unwanted nudes, you delete them right? He did honest! In this update, we'll see if that was a mistake or not
Lastly, 0.4 is the last strictly story chapter. We want to give players the option to pursue a girl, or choose to not continue with them romantically. OR if you're a real dog
you can pursue them all
In 0.5 we're gonna do a code overhaul that will allow us to do this. We'll talk more about this later.
Regardless of what you pick, we want the characters to speak to real people. People with complex emotions. People that regret decisions they make; that try their hardest and still fail; those that fail and are sometimes rewarded. Just like in real life, there is a sense that when one door closes, another opens. And the willingness to make a mistake and learn that making mistakes helps you grow.
We tried to follow that when creating Unexpected Opportunity. The fact that in life, we all fail and sometimes that failure opens up a new, perhaps... unexpected opportunity; an unspeakable horror takes you and leads you to the love of your life; finally, a kind stranger that drafts up the path to the light. In many ways, the city of Alistar and the MC are ways for these lost people to find this kind of happiness and those to in turn, help the MC as well. Hopefully we can live up to creating something like this
Damn, I'm incredibly icky and verbose! Yuck!
I hope you look forward to our update coming soon
