April in Review (Patreon)

Time for the monthly State of the Game! Thanks again to everyone who signed up in April, and for your feedback/suggestions!

First, our April poll results. Our fourth featured race in the game will be the Vessian Cloners, so you can expect to see them in-game later this month, once some more progress has been made on the Vox. Our poll for May will probably not be a race selection, but more design-focused, but more on that in a few weeks. Also, our winner for the bonus Random Encounter scene involves a Celopi and some not-so-private time with the Overseer, so the game will be adding the first Celopi-focused scene this month!

Next, a review of the previous and upcoming month:

April Accomplishments:

* Random Encounter and TTS functionality added

* 7 new main scenes, 2 Codex entries

* 2 new game scenery backgrounds

May Forecast:

* Continuation of Vox scenes, first introduction of Vessians

* Lencist Roboticist graphical designs

* Basic game tutorial

Art output for April was a little lower than intended, due to scheduling issues, but I'm hoping to address that for the coming month. On the functionality side, the game is nearing completion for the first phase of the project, leaving me with fewer distractions from writing scenes. Which will probably come in handy as I get to the more complex, steamier Vox plotline climaxes. I'm anticipating the current phase of the project to last until at least early July, with some probable patron voter input as to when to shift gears into the mechanical game systems side of the project. Of course, you don't need to wait for a poll to share your thoughts, feel free to hit me up here, or on the /r/lewdgames discord if you have any comments!
