Hey everyone!
just a small reminder that 0.8.5 (the old early access)went public back when we released the new early access version(0.8.6) so if you haven't updated to that version you can get the links from the public page.
Okay, so with FET 0.8.6 released we've finally reached the point where one more build will end the slave route! I say finally because this route has been a rocky ride with all the stuff going on in the background. Feels a lot like a cup of poison which we had to empty and in a lot of ways still are.
I've already mentioned this in the art update of last month, but about two weeks ago I had to put my dog to sleep which cut me pretty deep at the time. Considering I'm pretty much a recluse, my dog has always been a large part of my "daily social interactions". Especially during all of this corona business. First couple of days after were very rough. I'm still sad at times when I remember her but I try to remember the good times.
"Of course" a few days after that happened my hdd had a "panic attack" or whatever it was which had me needing to fix things... but that wasn't really all that problematic. It was honestly more of a good diversion than anything else.
I'm starting to get acclimatized to the "new real" as sucky as it sometimes feels. You build up a lot of habits throughout the years with a pet which keep reminding you throughout the day when she's not there anymore.
I'm just happy I can keep busy. Too much time to mull things over is not good.
And staying busy is what I've been doing. I changed a couple of things for the final scenes in the final build for the slave route. There's ALWAYS a couple of things which need more attention and I've been happy to be able and do that.
If you've finished 0.8.6 already you'll know we ended that one on a big fat ol' cliffhanger! For anyone wondering, the next build isn't just going to be the showdown between Amon/you/Korra immediately followed by the final goodbye of the player. There will be a couple of new sex scenes which will be more reflecting of Korra's newfound respect for Tenzin and threesome(-ish?) scenes with other characters too! Some of it perverted enough I'm slightly surprised Rob hasn't told me yet to tone it down a bit! I'm kidding, but damn it, if the last build of a route isn't when you let it all out, then when?
The scenes were packaged and sent to Rob a couple of days ago. He can work his magic and turn it all into a coherent thing.
ps. as I was typing this I got a message from Rob (speak of the devil!) and he does think some of the scenes are risque, but he agrees on going all out on pervyness.... and also has some extra requests... oh boy... !
I can at least spoil one thing, next build will have Amon getting some payback!
Btw. some people had problems saving their game in 0.8.6b. We don't think our little test with smaller update files had something to do with that, but we reverted back to our old way of creating the builds just to minimize possible causes for problems in 0.8.6d etc. We might give it(update files) another try for the next build again though.
Anyway, images for book 4 slave route are/were done and I've started working on idles for the love route! YEEESSS! Some new characters to work on!! Finally! I'm actually liking what I've done so far(six different characters!) which is highly unusual when it comes to idles for characters. Up until now I'm pretty much always unsatisfied with those so I'm still sorta expecting to all of a sudden start hating them again. I've also started to do some work on new scenes etc, but those are veeeery much at the beginning stages and will stay there now that Rob is starting to feel "requesty" again. I like Rob being "requesty", that's a good sign.
Love route will have some characters you already met during the slave route, but there will be a lot of new ones. It's pretty much going to be a thing where if you've seen a female in the cartoon but not yet in the slave route, you'll see her during the love route. Well not literally, but it's at least sort of what we're aiming for.
I've mentioned that (splitting characters between love and slave route) before, but we still got some questions in the pm's about that. And yes, not the perfect option, but sacrifices have to be made considering the large amount of female characters throughout the cartoon. This seems like the only truly do-able way to go.
Anyway Rob is working on the final build for the current route and I'll just go and ask him what he exactly meant by extra's. Till next time!
