Update 7 Roadmap
Added 2021-01-22 15:01:02 +0000 UTC
Hope you're all enjoying, or have finished and already enjoyed Update 6. That one was tough. It was huge and had a ton of improvements and changes. I worked my butt off on it.
This next update is going to be a little more simple, I believe, but I'm still working on improving the game and there's still a lot of new content to add. Here's my plan:
Update 6 Contents
- 15 New Story Scenes - Not every character is getting a new story scene this time around. The ones that don't get story scenes however, will get expanded in other ways. Either more sex scenes or new dates and conversations.
- 4 New Dates - Movie Theater with Bai, Park with Tammy, Park with Juliana, Luigi's with Mari
- 57 New Conversations - Dang that's a lot! But there's a lot of characters and I noticed when doing my playthroughs that there were times where I wanted to talk to them, but the only thing available was chit-chatting. So I'm still trying to fill in gaps there.
- Around 300 new Images
- Around 20 new Animations
- Significant visual upgrades - I'm going to get into this in another post very soon, but I've learned so much over the last couple of months that I plan on going back and redoing some of the older renders. More to come on that, including examples of the type of upgrades I'm looking at making.
- Removing money from the game - Originally, I had planned this game to be more of a sandbox than it is. As I go on, I tend to like those elements the least. Money is one of those things that sounds like it needs to be in the game, but it really doesn't, as it's not really used for anything and there's not anything I want to add to buy in the game that will make it worth the trouble. So I'm just going to remove the money entirely and make it to where you work at the law office and you are just able to buy the things that you need, without actually having to pay attention to dollar amounts.
- Repeatable Sex - One character in particular in this update is going to get some repeatable sex scenes. Eventually most of the characters will get these, and they will usually happen after dates.
- Date-specific clothing - Originally I had added the suit to the game, because I wanted you to be able to wear different clothing on dates and it would affect the date's outcome. I've decided against this for practical reasons (it's too much to render to have a different set of clothes for every expression for every date). Instead, I'm going to be doing date-specific clothing. So your character (and your date) will wear different clothing depending on the date that you take them on.
Release
This update has a lot of content, but I don't believe that most of it is going to be as difficult as the previous update. I'm thinking the normal 6 weeks should be enough time on this one.
Estimated Release Date: February 26th
Final Thoughts
For me, this update is going to be about polishing up the game as much as I can. I'm going to add new content, but I also want to make the game look better, play better, and feel better.
I feel like I'm finally hitting that spot where I know what I'm doing and I have the knowledge and the skill to make it happen. I'm looking forward to making the game so much better as we move forward in the story.
I'm so grateful to you all for supporting me. I love working on this game and I have so many ideas that I can't wait to share with all of you.
Love ya!
