Rebuilding Progress Report, Part II (Patreon)
Content
This progress report was supposed to be posted last month, yet I got covid on a business trip to Atlanta and had to isolate myself at the hotel and work remotely. With everything back on track now we will resume the frequency of regular updates.
Monthly poll is returning soon and you may select your highest tier during July, August and September as your role in the poll and your voting power will be tripled. This is the last chance that new contents are to be suggested and approved in the community poll: once the cycle of season pass based game updates begins, we will stop holding polls until all contents approved in previous polls have been implemented to prevent infinite feature creeping.
The rebuilding has been completed last week and we are now implementing the contents of the first season pass, Deus ex Machina featuring Celia, the Engineer.
We merged the Phase 2 and 3 for the closed beta and the next phase will start together with the first season pass, as otherwise there's not enough new contents for the beta testers to engage and play with. Along with the season pass we bring the system to link patrons' Patreon and Steam accounts online: you will receive in-game rewards based on your historical pledge along with the costume bundles once Phase 2 is live.
The system was developed in collaboration with Patreon and we do not store any sensitive data on our end to prevent potential security risk. We will give an ETA of phase 2 as soon as it passes the penetration test and all contents of the battle pass are in order.
Deus ex Machina contains a new player avatar, 50 new sex scenes, 3 new monsters, 8 new outfits and an assortment of in game currencies. It is free to all supporters who have claimed the steam key before phase 2 starts.
Another progress report detailing the new features in phase 2 is coming in a couple of days along with the monthly poll.
Edit: Fixed the issue that the video can't be played for some viewers due to a mature rating.
