Dev log 16.06.2024 (Patreon)

Hey everyone, I usually do not post devlogs immediately after a release, but I wanted to write a few things and give you an idea of what's coming next, now that the beta is out and the release will start becoming available to you.

At the moment I am actively working on fixing render errors, missing facial expressions, reported bugs and other little details to round up the update. Even if all the content is ready and playable, there is always some leftovers to do.

After that is done though, I will start working on the next update, which will hopefully coincide with the Steam release if all goes well. There will be a big mission for the mutants and I am really excited for it. We have planned the follow-up to the story in the bunker under the tower for months. I want it to be cinematic, meaningful as well as sexy and flesh out a part of the game that has gotten the least amount of content so far.

Aside from that we generally have other side quest continuations in the works, from Nadia/Rabiah, to Emilia, to Ain (you will see why during Zahra's date), and I will have to see to what degree the content is possible while focusing on the mutants as the big event for 0.17. I would like for the next few updates to be more...focused, and less of a buffet of many pieces of small content.

As for those side quests... I don't know if you feel the same, but I think we had a fair bit of them in the last few updates. Ain meeting Nadia, Kateryna getting her multiple fillings too (literally), and now Zahra's date and even Fairy got their place in the spotlight. I think at this point it's time to switch focus primarily back on the main story, and their characters.

Shani is waiting to go out there and raid tombs together. The Queen has her own agenda, connected tightly to her spot in the soon to be empire. Will the Elder's text leak and diminish her power when found? Then there is Abrax, and your mysterious glowing object. He will want to talk to us, and show more of what the decayed in Old Cairo are planning, the dead city, and their...peculiar lifestyles. And of course Zion's continuation and the Raiders as a whole.

Last but not least, seeing how and if the factions will influence the future of the city, and to what degree. 0.17 will be a stepping stone towards that direction and the eventual outcomes.

So... since the story is nowhere from finished, I would like to from now on focus on creating at least one major story event per update, at least for the next few updates, adding other fun or side activities on top of it, and not the other way around. What this means, is more of the DS main story. What this definitely does not mean... is that there will be less sex. ;o

That was it from me I think, just wanted to get that out since some of you may wonder at this point where the story is going, why do we introduce all these characters, and what does following them on their missions and adventures achieve and lead up to? I want to now focus on creating that answer for you, without simply telling you through a post, or spoiling you needlessly. But I can promise you there are plans, and I am more than excited for 0.17.

Cheers and I hope you enjoy 0.16!
