Weekly Update (Patreon)

Back with the usual Weekly Update, which is now at #100 count! :O (counting the time I made Weekly Update on my private forum). 

It has been a very long journey, hasn't it? Honestly, motivations from you guys are mainly the things that keep me working on this game, so yeah... thankies for all of you! <3

Anyway, without further ado, let's move on to the update itself, okay?

REGARDING BETA

I said it last week that I would like to release the Toru beta this week... Well, we might need to wait several more days for that D:

The beta itself is ready to be sent (might still be infested with bugs though), but I need to wait several days to sort out the distribution method. 

As you all know, I'll use itch.io to distribute the Toru beta. Before I can send them out, though, I'll need to import the Kickstarter surveys data via .CSV file to itch.io. However, I played around with the importing a CSV for KS backers once in the past, so I I need to wait for itch.io to delete the previous Kickstarter imports so I can start anew (or else, there might double entries / wrong e-mail addresses / and such). To ask for the deletion, I need to ask the itch.io admin (it can't be done from my account). Anyway, I've sent the request e-mail to the support e-mail yesterday, but haven't got the respond :/

So yeah, I think we might need to wait several days - depending on how fast itch.io responds to me (then again, it's weekend now so it's understandable that they might not be able to respond fast). Earliest is Monday, I guess, but even that's not a guarantee. 

Though, the positives in this... is that with the several days wait, I might be able to finish implementing a certain feature that I recently got the idea for during the wait. More details below.

FOREPLAY MODE TOYS 

Before, I once mentioned that the foreplay mode toys will only function to trigger certain special scenes (For ex, if you have a rope in inventory, then you might get a scene with a certain guy), however my sister (also tester) complaints about that. She wants to actually use the toys on the guys. 

Anyway, after hearing that + some motivational words, I decided to expand further on the sex toys. The main reason I didn't explore further with the toys system was because I was burned out with the work. I was just so stressed with the work and wanted to get this game done fast. But my sis said a nice thing yesterday, which was basically 'You've come this far, don't give up' kinda thingy. Anyway, I'm less stressed now, and motivated again to implement things that I think will benefit the game (which is, this toys system, imo) :)

The main change from previous system, is that the toys will actually be used in the foreplay mode itself.

There are 3 main types of the toys:

1) The vibrators type

This will play like the usual "hand animation" cursor. Basically, you pick the vibrator type you want to use, then you click on a certain body part, and the guy will react to the "vibration". 

Some screenies to show what I mean:

In the actual games, it will actually "vibrate" (moving around animation + buzzing sound effect), but I've got no time to make GIF animation today, so static images only for now

4 types of vibrators you get to purchase

2) The cum-preventing type

The second type includes cock-ring and chastity belt. When used, it will be visible on the guy's foreplay mode image. However, it doesn't only affect the appearance but also has some functionality of its own: mainly, it will prevent the guy from cumming. At certain arousal, though (the absolute max arousal), he will beg to be let go of the chastity / cock-ring in which MC will comply.

(No pic yet because artist is still working on it =))

3) The aesthetic type 

These are basically the same as "costumes", in that it only affects the guy's appearance + initial special scene (first time bondage, first time wearing nipple clasps, etc)

Includes:

- Ropes (bondage)

- Nipples clasps 

- Nipples sucker (same with nipples clasps, only different appearance)

(No pic as well because artist is still working on it =))

Anyway, it shouldn't be too hard to implement the new toys system, but I will need to write some more (responses when vibrator is used at certain parts, when you are being cock-ring etc) -> so yeah, wordcount will be bloated yet again ~0~

To trigger the sex toys, you'll need to use this new command on the right-side of the screen, in which it will open up another window, which I call the toys box :p It's still a bit empty bcs I'm still waiting for the remaining toys to be drawn, but once they're all present, it will be a very "lively" toys box :D :D

MISC UPDATES

I've made it so that when you go to hotel room and begin undressing, the guy will make a comment on the underwear you're currently wearing. 

Also, the current wordcount is now:

I don't know what I've been writing but apparently, it's now at 319K words. Welp, so much for it being "only" 300K. 

Anyway, that's it for this week's update! I will make another update once I've heard back from itch.io.

One question though:

If in best case itch.io responds to me on Monday (and I can send out the beta on Tuesday), but the toys system isn't done yet, would you want the beta to be sent at that time, or wait until the toys are fully implemented?

Alright, that's it for this week's update for real :D

See ya in the 101th update! :p
