Hey guys!
We're pushing right along, and are so grateful for the support we've received. Our first and most important goal was and is to always make a game that we're proud of. To make the game that we want to play. To that end, I think we've gotten a strong start, but we have a long way still to go!
Who's doing the updating?
Art updates handled by the artist, and development updates are handled by the writer/programmer.
Get to the update already!
We've been keeping notes of bugs and critiques, and will be implementing some changes. In games like this, there's lots of different personal tastes and opinions. Some people want more of one thing and less of another and vice versa, so when something has an even number of proponents and dissenters, that usually means it's in a good place. There are bugs to fix and changes to make (we've been paying attention to your critiques), but we'll be striving to strike a balance between new content and edits. It's important that things run smoothly for new players, but new content is where the excitement is, and we get that.
So what are you doing right now?
We've spent these last couple days paying attention to the reception of this alpha. We have vision and plans, but as this was the alpha release, these past few days had an important role. You were the focus group. I also want to really drive home how important the positive comments were. We read all of them. We've worked our asses off, and your comments have made all that time worthwhile. Thank you.
When I was coding the last few bits of the alpha, I didn't have access to the developer version that I work from. While we hadn't made a patreon, or announced our release, we had chosen a deadline and I wanted to meet it. I had to make a choice -- delay the release so that I could work simultaneously on the scripts, or finish the alpha on time? I chose to finish the alpha. This means that I'm having to relay those changes over, and it's a very careful process.
The love route has some content completed, but I'm primarily trying to finish the slave route first. There are extra scenes for each of the acts, but I removed them from the alpha for the time being; I'm currently writing those scenes. The artist is drawing more love route scenes, and it's looking awesome.
We've also realized that since the alpha is long and a fairly large download, it may be unclear at first what's available. I'd like to make a demo video of what the game looks like for tentative players (excluding nudity so that it can reach some sfw places), but with clunky video editing/recording software, that might be down the line a bit.
Just to throw it out there, if anyone wants to submit a demo video for us to use, that would save us some time and be generally awesome.
More updates soon!
