[News] Dev's blog #47 (Patreon)

Hey there!

If you are new here or just not up to date with the latest news, I highly recommend reading these previous Dev's blogs: PART #1 -> PART #2 -> PART #3 

________________________________________________________________

The most important news

1) The next update (version 0.9.5) will be released in mid/late May (unless some unexpected events happens, such as what happened at the turn of February and March this year)

2) I haven't abandoned developing UoP and I don't even think about it. But it looks like I won't be able to reach my previous level of productivity in the coming months (the situation that worries me is not changing for the better and I still can't fully concentrate on my work. But I keep hoping for the best and I'm trying my best)

I estimate at this point that my productivity is down about 30-40% from my previous pace of development. So for now I've decided to release an update every 1.5 - 2 months. At least that's the plan for v0.9.5 and v1.0.0.

3) I'll pause billing for May (yeah, again) and will keep it paused until I get back to usual pace of the game development / or until I run out of all my savings while I'm developing UoP.

It means that if you will be an active patron at the start of the next billing cycle in May, then you will not be charged.

About availability of Patreon content in April and May (since I have put billing on pause for the next month):

• The dev's blogs and news will be available to all visitors, not just to patrons;
• All April/May custom renders and April/May wallpapers will be available to all patrons in maximum resolution (4k). Also, all patrons will be able to vote in polls about girls for custom renders (usually such polls available for patrons with a $20+ tier)
• All patrons will have access to vote in the poll about the additional events for v0.9.5 (usually such polls available to patrons with a $5+ tier)

BUT!

• Sneak peeks for v0.9.5 will be available only to patrons with a $5+ tiers
• Early access and the official walkthrough for v0.9.5 will be available only to patrons with a $10+ tiers
• The v0.9.5 Extended will be available only to patrons with a $20+ tiers
• Voting for characters for extra events and extra sneak peeks for v0.9.5 will be available only to patrons with a $50+ tiers

Thanks to everyone who stayed with UoP all that time!

About the remake of the beginning part of UoP

• I rewrote all the dialogues from the beginning of the game to v0.2.5.
• I slightly reworked the notes in the in-game diary, made them more informative and added a link to the days of the notes.
• 4 new animations were maded (first scene with Roxy in the gym shower). There are no reworked renders yet.
• I added some new dialogue to fill in some gaps in the story.

Remaking the initial part of the game turned out to be a bit more difficult than I expected, so for now the result is not too impressive. But I hope I can find the time to continue working on the remake in the future.

All remade content will be added to the public versions of the game when the remake is complete.

I will try to keep all the variables and the structure of the original code so that it doesn't cause any problems with your saves and you don't have to replay the whole game again (but I hope that you will at least take a peek at the remaded part)

About the v0.9.5

The development of the next update is in full swing. Although it's not going as fast and easy as usual.

1) The following events are written:

• event with Rachel
• event with Sara
• party event with Nikki
• party event with Ashley
• party event with Ivy (the red-haired girl in the dark red dress from the previous news post)
• small party event with Eric
• small party event with Vlad
• some dialogues and scenes with cameo characters

In addition to this list, I also plan to write another event with Nikki, another event with Ivy, and an event with Carol. On top of that, I won't forget about an additional event based on poll (Additional event for the v0.9.5) that will be added in the near future.

Maybe I'll add some more events if I have time.

2) Renders and animations:

About 160 renders and 2 animations are ready
