First week of the rework. (Patreon)

Salutations! Here’s what we’re doing and what we already did. 

In the last release you’ve seen new dialogue system in action, Kira’s speech was affected by her intelligence and lust stats. I’ve finished writing similar lines for her a couple of updates ago, and now after revisiting every corner of my script, I’m pretty sure the text part is finally over, at least for now. Meanwhile Moana was busy with coding those lines in and will continue to do so for a while. 

On top of that, because of our new character art and events system - we can remove “gates” from some events, so eventually you’ll be able to visit “new you” before prison or see subway event in any outfit, all of this also needed some text alterations. 

Moving forward to the character art, it is now extremely complex and consists of around 50 layers instead of previous two (body+face), it’s also drawn from both sides (back and front), this opens a lot of windows for us, for example - we can remove previously mentioned “gates”, or use her character art in minor events. We’re also going to include “groping” both by female and male hands in her character art and tie it to Kira’s breast size - this means that we should be able to spawn as many groping or exbitionism events as we want, and they will be available in any outfit all around the Moscow, their chance of triggering will be determined by outfit’s “sluttiness” (this system was already coded in by Moana and used in guards). 

Her new character art was also drawn and teased both here on patreon and in previous updates, I still need to finish drawing some outfits and her old and new expressions, not to mention “testing”. Oh, and new system supports hats, so prepare for hats, ushankas and such. 

Final aspect of the rework - events, some of them need minor tweaking (I could probably do 3-5 events in a day), some of them had placeholder art and need to be redrawn (a couple of days each), overall there’s 30 events that need my attention and I can’t tell you how long it would take me to finish them up (some of them are already redrawn). Trust me, we’d rather work on new stuff instead, but this needs to be done now, the game only grows in size and every new event just makes things worse for the future. 

New system for events works just like Kira’s character art, all of them will have dedicated layers for Kira’s body parts and features (hair - layer 6, breasts - layer 5, etc.), this way we will be able to move forward and add in stuff like tattoos or breast sizes all around the game easier and quicker. Both character art and events rely on us knowing numbers, that’s why we’ve asked you to decide the amount of everything. 

Final results of physical features - three hip sizes (only the first one shows in events), ten breast sizes (every second one shows in events). Everything will be optional. 

And there’s currently a tattoo poll, it was split into four parts since some places are easier than the others, but here’s how we’ve divided it in general (it’s the optimal placement for her new art system) . Everything will be optional.  

So here’s what’s left for us to do before the next release:

1. three polls, tattoos, hair and details (sex toys, piercings, etc.), code in the results.

2. Expressions and outfits (various stages of completion).

3. Art for h-events (various stages of completion).

Overall, it was a wise choice to plan this ahead, I just wish I’d made this call sooner, extra time we had from previous updates helped a lot, but it’s still raw right now. Apparently I’m really good at underestimating time, so I’m afraid to name any date right now. We have a lot of work ahead of us, this update will probably be the hardest one yet, especially when it comes to testing, even our small updates had bugs, I can only imagine how many this update will bring. 

That said, I will keep you updated and I will post teasers, the date of the update is still unknown, I’ll announce it once we’ll have a better understanding. Thank you for your support and your patience!
