New Year - 7 New Characters! & More about Future Plans (Patreon)

👋7 New Characters

I figured I'd explain a bit more about the characters and why them. Last year we had 2 votes, one for characters and another for content. Chloe won #2 most votes but rather than cram everything nerdy into one girl, we decided Chloe would be the nerdy girl and Pixie would be the gamer type. Mrs. Williams was also our #5 most voted behind the extra storyline content for Tara, Janice & Lily.

🕹Pixie - Pixie is a bit of a lazy gamer girl, who refuses to leave her bedroom, let alone her house. She's messy, has a short temper and is only interested in gaming. It's gotten so bad her mom has asked you to intervene. Good luck talking some sense into her...

🕶Raven - Raven is Tara's best friend and owner of the Tattoo Parlor "The Dirty Needle". She's passionate about her Tattoo work but is in need of some new customers, I wonder if you can help her out?

📚Chloe - Chloe is the very shy nerdy girl next door and also the new girl at school. She is so shy, she barely even talks! Turns out she's a distant cousin of Kaleb's and she keeps spying on your gaming buddies at game night. Would she really want to tabletop roleplay some Beasts & Barbarians?

🥈Mrs. Williams - Mrs. Williams is a previous Olympian and mom to Kaleb. She's also Woodchester's own P.E. Teacher! She believes in hard work and dedication, even if you are friends with Kaleb. Will you have what it takes to keep up in her classroom? 

🤓Joe - Joe is your nerdy best friend who is a history and math wizard, he'll let you know if you're wrong about something! He has a part time job at the tech shop in the mall, I'm sure he can help you out with anything tech related. 

🎧Kaleb - Kaleb is a frat boy through and through getting you into all sorts of mischief, but he's still a best friend at the end of the day. If there's one friend who has strong opinions about dating women and throwing parties, it's him.

👗Ms. Ashton - Cass and Molly's mom, this Science teacher is also the MILF next door. Lucky for you she needs her pool cleaned regularly for a nice bit of side money. I wonder if you can turn up the heat and become this teacher's pet?

🌎More Open World for 2022

I've seen one of our more requested features is being able to open up more of the world to a less linear gameplay style. While I 100% agree, it does take some effort as it's a cascading affect. 

One goal is to play mini games, to upgrade your stats, to interact with the story/game in various ways that makes you feel like you earned your scenes. 

Another way we can achieve this is believable and varied dialogue with all characters in the open world, making them come alive as their attitudes change and you learn more about their past. 

Another method is utilizing "mini quests" or favors can be a great way to stretch out some of the story in still satisfying ways. Lily could lose her pet rat and needs help finding it or maybe Janice needs you to get groceries.

Last but certainly not least is repeatable H Scenes. Being able to access unique scenes and/or backgrounds depending on where in the house you are is widely requested. Especially exploring the bedroom and sleeping (or lack their of).

📋Progress Report for 0.8

Thanks to everyone who has been patiently awaiting 0.8, I know it's taken some time but I genuinelly underestimated 2 big functions being added to the game. Gallery & Sandbox mode, but Sandbox mode has full UI now just waiting for mirroring and scaling and camera fix. The gallery UI is finalized but tweaking some of the abilities to change skins and animations for all previous scenes.

A big thanks to everyone who donates to the patreon, we literally wouldn't be here without you <3.

Best,
