November 10 Update (Patreon)

The DStP launch has gone okay. It's sitting at 3.5, which is average for new games but worse than my previous titles on Newgrounds. Total plays are above average but hardly explosive.

It's a bit encouraging that a reasonable number of people who don't know me at all find the core gameplay fun. There are also a reasonable number of complaints. I don't think this gameplay loop is necessarily a divisive one, so I think that's a sign that there are things that need to be improved. I don't have any real insight on that account yet, though.

Anyway, that's only occupying part of my attention, so I have good news: I can now be pretty confident that the TLS update will be released on Friday. Probably in good shape too, though with an update across this many maps I'm sure I'll neglect some details.

You guys better like that long sex scene you were enthusiastic for. Edited and placed into the game, it's over 70 boxes long (and behind the scenes, it has eight conditional statements). This is going to be the longest in the game by a wide margin. I'm still considering making it a short story, though I don't know how accessible it would be to non-fans.
