Hey guys,
I know many of you are expecting the next version coming today, but now I already know for sure that's not going to happen. There are a few reasons... with the main one being that our storywriter had a series of family issues this month and delivered the scripts to me late.
Even worse there were several parts that he and I disagreed on and we had to make changes there as well. I know that story writing isn’t my strength so we discussed the issue among ourselves and asked for opinions from long time patrons as well as from Yacht Club members in the developers chat room in our discord. In the end everyone agreed that the scripting needed to change.
Generally speaking, the renders are always catching up to the scripting. This time it was the other way around. And that was before we needed to decide exactly what needed to change. Much of this was an expansion of already existing or planned scenes… or reworking how they played out.
The good news is that lot of renders are done and we're all on the same page and have a clear picture what scripts should look like... which is far harder at this point than it sounds. You might not believe it, but the further along the game gets the harder it is to track the webs of decisions that the player has made. Most scenes on the yacht must account for a minimum of 4 different routes, sometimes more. This is rough in and of itself. It gets even worse when you add conflicting opinions on how a scene should play out. This is why we spend so much time and effort on the scenario for each update.
Since the release has moved into October, I am considering expanding the next version to include what we already have planned for the next day, as well as adding the bonus scene (last chance to add your ideas, if you haven’t already). One of the consistent criticisms has been updates not ending at points that feel like an ending. These additions will let us finish the update at an appropriate place.
Some spoilers now!
I know many of you are eagerly waiting for what comes next. The yacht will end in this next update. Period. After the party, we move into the fallout from the yacht and and a day with Christine and the MC in the apartment and elsewhere. Look forward to an upcoming bonus picture for more clues as to what is in store.
