Progress Report - Release Date! - QoL & More! (Patreon)
Content
Hey everyone!
Today I wanted to talk about the release date of Beta 0.2 as well as some new content and things to expect!
== Release Date ==
I'm aiming to get this build out to $5+ Patrons around Thursday, January 27th! The release may be slightly early or late by a day or two. The public release will be out 3 days after!
== Encounter Rate + QoL ==
To make Sexy Quest more accessible and enjoyable for everyone, I was able to find a plugin that allows you to control the encounter rate (normal, half, none). Whether you're over leveled, just trying to explore, or maybe attempting a challenge run, this feature should come in handy!
With the ability to stop enemy encounters, I'm still considering the idea of a 'cinematic mode' which would skip boss fights. This may be a nice for players who want a purely story-focused experience similar to Town of Passion. There are some obstacles I need to work out first with this idea so stay tuned for developments on this.
Speaking of QoL, I'm testing some 'Metal Slime-like' encounters finally! These would be rare/elusive monsters that can be tricky to KO but provide a ton of EXP. I'm a big fan of this mechanic as it helps reduce the need for grinding and can even help you over-level a bit if you prefer a more dominant approach to boss fights.
I'm hoping to have this feature added in Beta 0.2!
== Update Contents ==
Beta 0.2 introduces the location of Valencia as well as a little bit more story contents and a new teammate joins in on the fun! Of course, sexy quests are sure to be had too ;P
I wanted to mention that Valencia is intended to be like a smaller version of Valencia in Town of Passion. Starting off, there won't be much to do there but I plan to have an update or two that focus solely on Valencia sidequests/content.
Beta 0.3 will likely focus almost entirely on Valencia and adding some more life into it so I just ask that you don't judge the Kingdom too harshly on it's initial debut ;P
== Android Version ==
I will be testing the port of this update next week just before the release.
Throwing this warning out now- there are a few plugins and general issues that make me worry the Android version might not be functionable. I can NOT promise an Android build until I have tested and confirmed it works.
Fingers crossed that works! If it doesn't, I'll probably make a post just before. I don't want anyone pledging $5+ assuming the Android version is guaranteed yet.

That's everything for this update! Thank you all so much for your support and I will see you soon with the $5+ release of Beta 0.2!
