Mid-June Progress Report / September = Next Update (Patreon)
Content
Hello cool people! It's good to see you again :)
FIRST THING'S FIRST!! I think I will be pushing the next update to September 1, rather than August 1. Summer is a very busy time for me (out of town lots of weekends), and combined with pouring a bunch of time into restructuring the game's potty system, I don't think I'll have as much new playable content ready for August 1 as I would like. This means that early access will be delayed until mid-August as well (so if you're most interested in early access, you may want to skip supporting in July!). Sorry for the disappointing news; I've done my best to keep to the 4-month schedule so far, but I think the extra month will be needed this time around. I'll have a BBMKR-based story or two to share with you guys in the meantime, so hopefully that will help bridge the gap a lil bit.
Now, onto this month's progress so far!
MISS LAURA. THIS has been a long time coming.. Miss Laura's ultimate ability is finally ready!! You'll be able to use her "Nurse" skill in the next update (much to Kiera's embarrassment)! See pic for a lil foreshadowing pic of Kiera being sat in Miss Laura's lap.. ;) I have been implementing accidents while nursing, as well as a Training event for when she potties herself in Momm- I mean, Miss Laura's lap! ^^
POTTY SYSTEM. The poll this month showed that you guys really wanna see Kiera with zero potty training! I've been adding more potty "warnings" and accidents for when the silly girl doesn't quite catch on to what's happening. They are turning out pretty cute so far! :D I have also been fixing some bugs with the potty system (noticed a number of issues when Kiera is in pull-ups, so fixed those!) Aaaaaand been spending lots of time updating the potty system to work with new spritesheets (big time sink currently, but will save time in the long run!)
CASSIDY. I've made progress with more Cassidy-based events! In particular, having her in your party when playing Hide and Seek, and her new skill, called "Change." It's a pretty vague name for a skill, I wonder what she can do with that..? (See related pic)
HIDE AND SEEK. I've been revamping Hide and Seek! If Kiera fails to find anyone during Hide and Seek, she'll get a Training point in "Silly Seeker," which increases her chance for failure when trying to find the hiders (see pic). If she gets enough points in that Training, well.. You'd better bring a babysitter along to help her find the other Littles! I am also adding some variation to the events based on traits (focusing on Crybaby at the moment). There were also a number of bugs to stamp out with this, so I fixed some of those.
BOYS' CLUB. I'm really enjoying building the dynamic / rivalry between the Boys' and Girls' clubs! Kiera's willingness to be a Princess will affect how she reacts to the Boys- she may prove to be an unexpected ally to them, or their greatest nemesis!
PLAYPEN PLOTS. I've made progress with these, so that you and Kiera will be able to unravel the mysteries of the daycare a bit further! (Or will there just be more questions..? Who knows!)
STORIES. I am getting close to finishing two end-game short stories that describe Kiera's new life after being baby-made. These vignettes will regale Kiera's future if she ends up as a Bratty Princess. I am planning to share one in July and the other in August!
So that's what I have to report for now! Let me know if you have any thoughts or ideas to share, I'd love to hear them! Thanks & chat again soon :)
