[Progress Report]: 9th of January (Patreon)

Hey everyone,

We're still on track for Version 1.00! There was a minor delay on Thursday, but I should be making that up tonight so that I can pivot into this month's H-scene Poll Winner: Riley! My goodness, it didn't take very long for Riley to regain her crown. At this rate, she might end up with more H-scene events than story events... I might have to do something about that in the future, but it will need to be sometime after we finish the midpoint event.

I have also received reports that revealing my general plan for the future Version updates was very much enjoyed! Perhaps I'll make a Discord channel section for a latter to keep it pinned? Would that be something you guys want? Let me know and I can make it happen.

As in tradition, I'll now answer a question I received in my Patreon inbox:

Solace, how will you be expanding the Sandbox of Superheroes Suck?

You guys are getting really direct! I have several ways I'd like to tackle the problem of this sandbox game's nonexistence sandbox. 

The first would be a type of "content saturation." I would like to place small, maybe ten - twenty render long, events throughout the Academy. Things that would come up when you interact with the existing time passing events like exercising and studying.

I would also like to add some new revision events - events that better display the earlier discord of Harper and Valentina / Chrys and Riley before you progress their stories. Walking into a room to see them arguing, that type of content. Just a few dotted here and there, and not required for story progression.

I'd like to make more items intractable, like the laptop in the protagonist's room, and then also give those items small events as well.

My first, and primary objective, is to fix the Academy. I want it to feel more alive and be more interactive. Once that Academy feels better to walk around in, from the beginning of the game to current content, then I would like to incorporate the larger city of Nierhaven into the game. One step at a time, you know.

Of course, this is all theory crafting right now. That's months away, with the power reveal still on the roadmap between then and now. 

Also, I still need to get that night bathroom event with Chrys done. No, Devil, I haven't forgotten.

Well, that's it for me this week. Also, don't feel shy asking for me in the Discord. I'm always on it. Always. Really. Help.

Thank you for all of your support,

~Solace
