Weekly Roundup 13 - 29/05/20 - Switch Clothing, A New Build, UI Polish, and Taxes (Patreon)

Hi everybody!

Hope you've all been well this week! We got a new feature, some game polish, and a new playable build ready to go out!

The link to the playable build will be provided in a separate post to our $10+ Patrons right after this post goes out. 

But first:

Taxes:

Patreon reached out to creators like myself and asked that we let our Patrons know of an upcoming change to billing on JULY 1ST. (Not this upcoming one.)

Patreon itself will be sending you an e-mail on the matter June 1st.

Put simply: Governments have asked Patreon to charge their regions goods and services tax. Some patrons like those from the UK have already been doing this but other Patrons have been exempt until recently. 

What this means is come JULY 1ST Patrons will be charged a little bit more to pay for their regions relevant goods and services taxes on top of your pledge. 

To be clear, this isn't extra money that goes to me. It's all government compliance.

I know this is a bummer and if you need to unsubscribe when the time comes there's no hard feelings. Your support already has been amazing. <3 You're all helping me create games that are unique and wonderful.

Now lets get back to the fun stuff! Content!

1: This Weeks Progress

A few new and exciting things got into the game this week. 

Starting with the most present addition. I've added clothes switching options to the game. You can change what Tessa is wearing!

Right now there's two alternatives to the suit: A bra and panties option and naked! She even reacts to you considering each option.

You can unlock these on sessions 5 and 6. 

Improved Tickling PIck UI and Over Stimulation UI

I've improved the look of the tickle pic UI to make it look like you're controlling a romote phone app. This will have additional uses later. :3

I also improved the over stimulation bar and placed it directly under Tessa. This makes it much easier to keep your eyes on it.

I've also added icons that communicate when you've crossed recovery thresholds for Tessa.

Gameplay Tweaks and Bug Fixes

I also spent some time this week generally finding bugs with the gameplay and UI and fixing them!

Tweaks to gameplay has come in the way of tuning the over-stimulation values of the tools to ensure you don't overstimulate too quickly or can't at all.

2: What's Next: New Tickling Tool

In my opinion the game needs at least two more tickling tools to unlock to make it a full experience. 

Tickling Tools generally have taken me 1 week to create each new tool as I try and make the gameplay feel unique for each one. So my aim for next week is to deliver at least one new tool!

A Big thanks to all of you for support! This Patreon grew so much over May and I'm thankful for it!

Cheers!
