Devlog Update

I've got some thrilling updates to share about my latest project! As you know, I’ve been hard at work crafting a test project that pushes the boundaries of storytelling and player choice. Here's a sneak peek into what's been brewing:

Choosing Your Characters.

In this experimental endeavor, players will have the power to select not only the main character but also their roommate. It's a dynamic twist that allows for deeper immersion and personalized experiences.

While the main character serves as the visual anchor, our focus is on unraveling the intricate story of the roommate. Get ready to dive deep into their world, filled with twists, turns, and unexpected connections. While they have specific paths destined according to their character, your player choices can effect the ultimate outcome of the story.

I've been crafting scenes set in the dorms, where personalities clash, friendships blossom, and secrets lurk in the shadows. While I’m still fine-tuning the visuals, rest assured that each character will be adorned in outfits that reflect their unique personalities.

With static views enabling seamless character switching and individual choices shaping the narrative, gameplay mechanics are getting a major upgrade. Brace yourselves for tough decisions, unexpected consequences, and unforgettable moments.

Just like in "Arena of Thebes" there are individual pairings of guys as well as the larger group dynamics. Ultimately I plan to introduce similar mechanics and player choices into it. Changing some of the already released chapters and making adjustments will be a challenge though which will make this test project crucial to get things smoothly integrated.

As with any ambitious project, I’ve encountered my fair share of hurdles. But through developing and adopting new methods, and implementing much-needed updates to ensure a polished experience, a lot more content is bound to come your way soon.

As I return to the grindstone, I ask for your continued patience. In the meantime, I'm cooking up some tantalizing bonus content to keep you in the loop.

I’ve also been revisiting the idea of animations for a truly immersive experience! As these are almost certainly too big to clog up the file size of the game novels, I will release these animation clips as bonus content instead. This way I won’t be needing to make sacrifices in video quality. In the novel you will most likely continue to see these kind of looping slideshows as already utilized in Arena of Thebes.

Thank you for your unwavering support and enthusiasm. Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, feel free to reach out with your thoughts, ideas, and feedback.
