Weekly report 21
Hi everybody.
I hope you're all doing great.
We're back to work and have started planning the next release.
Here are a couple of updates:
Planning phase:
Like what we did for the previous update, we'll take about a week to plan the next release: outline the story, come up with quests, draw storyboards, write spit drafts, and estimate the number of tasks.
Myrtle's story:
Although we liked Holly's development in 0.3, we don't want to stop experimenting. Therefore, for the 0.4 release, we will focus on Myrtle's story only. Instead of having sex scenes with different characters, all new adult content will be with our woodcutter's wife. The overall aim is to improve our approach by finding out what works best, has a better pace, and feels more satisfying to play. We will keep you up to date with our plans once we've finalized them.
Translation kit:
I'll be making the translation kit for 0.3 during this weekend. If you'd like to translate the latest version of the game, do let me know, and I'll send it to you once it's ready.
Upcoming poll:
This weekend we'll also start a poll on the animal to be added to the game for petting + advancing time based on suggestions that Best Friend patrons have made. Best Friend and Close Friend tier patrons will be able to vote in this poll.
Changes planned:
There are a couple of things from 0.3 that we want to change in the next release:
- Celestina's content will not be required to unlock Holly's cutscenes in the crystal ball. There will be a pop-up message that clearly communicates the optional nature of her scenes.
- There will be a notification when Holly asks the MC to go to the mudbank, showing how it looks like on the map (many had difficulty finding it).
- We'll change the way we do Lambert's photos to help the players find them. We're not yet sure how, exactly, but from 0.4 onward, you shouldn't need to visit any tutorials or hints outside of the game to find them.
That's all for now.
Have a wonderful weekend
Cheers
