Hi everybody.
I hope you're all doing well. It is exactly three months since our last release, and I think we owe you a more thorough overview of where we are and what we're doing.
First of all, I honestly wish that we were more advanced than we are. When we did 0.4, I kept telling myself that I don't want each release to take this long, but despite all our attempts, here we are. The 0.4 took as long as it did because although it had a simple three-quest structure, it contained many cutscenes and dialogues; 0.5 requires more artworks than Myrtle's story, but that doesn't necessarily translate into more content because 0.5 tries to do more things; in particular:
- Advance the Main Story
- Expand the explorable areas of the map
- Complete Lana's story
- Have a decent introductory quest for Simmone (similar to Maple's, i.e., there will be a sex scene that makes sense)
I think what we're working on does achieve the above, helped by the fact that Lana enjoys sex and has a bit of chemistry with the MC already, and her problems are interwoven with the main plot. We are working around the clock to finish this release as soon as possible, and to do that, we intend to work on Sundays as well (until the release of 0.5), and you can expect the daily progress tracker to be updated seven days a week. Hopefully, you'll like the end result.
On a separate but related note, we have planned the whole of the Main Story, and I think we will need three more updates -- in addition to this one -- to finish it: with Madeline's scenes, with Serena's scenes, and the grand finale.
Anyhow, we thought you guys who have supported us these months ought to know how we're going and what to expect, and having done that, now to the weekly report:
Chestnut:
Chestnut worked on several cutscenes and locations and tried to complete a few unfinished scenes that I needed for the posing.
Pistachio:
I spent most of my time posing scenes from Lana's part in the update and worked on unlocking a new bed and location. Several of the convos are coded and ready, and we have more backgrounds that we can explore.
Next week's plan:
Chestnut wants to finish cutscenes that are almost done but are missing a few elements, and she wants to focus the rest of her time on new scenes.
I wanted to add a new sprite last week, but I didn't have the time. That's what I'm going to do next week, and for the rest of my time, it will be almost entirely focused on posing the dialogues.
That's all!
Have a great weekend
Cheers
