Progress Report (Patreon)
Content
Howdy! Im here with another progress report.
To start Ill list what we already did, weve fixed all bugs we could find, including the reported ones (thank you for that). Finished the writing part of the update, added back missing outfits and two missing hypnotic events (pet and benevolence), edited a bunch of older events (shower, legion 2, new you dream, party quest). Ive finished drawing Kiras character art for our gropings system, drawn new outfit, tattoo, piercing and some npcs. We also added an autosave option, but Im not sure we will keep it (more on it later).
Right now Moana is busy with the code for our new content and Im drawing new events, and thats the last two things we need for the next update.
Our main goal right now is to finish everything weve planned before the new year, and I believe were succeeding.
This update turned out to be somewhat shop oriented. Were adding three new vendors and a way for Kira to increase her hips.
In V0.4.7 you will be able to:
- Get a new tattoo from our prison artist (Takeshi);
- Katya will become a vendor of piercings in her AUGs shop;
- Well finally open the hair salon at the mall. The hair will be unlockable through quests, so if youve completed "New You" - youll be able to switch between pink and white hair at whim.
- Theres now a vendor for various questionable products, for now he will sell hip increasing boosts and a drink that reduces intelligence.
There will be some explanation and text for all our new vendors and things, but the main addition of this update is the gym itself.
- You will be able to train at the gym for free or with a boost, a boost will reduce the number of days required for Kiras hips to grow. Weve also added an option to just pay for Kiras hips, and avoid gym content entirely.
Since some of you might have "cheated", and increased Kiras hips already, the gym will reset their size upon the first entrance to avoid any bugs, and the cheatbox will no longer increase them.
Kira will be able to pick how she will train, she can either build mass and increase her hips, or burn calories to reduce them. Her personal trainer and various npcs will make advances on her, and you will be able to pick how she will respond.
In this update, Kira has no reason to be at the gym (apart from getting bigger hips), she doesnt need to blackmail anyone, save anyone or get anything. So the choices she can make are tied to her lust and fetishes, meaning that while the gym is accessible at the start of the game, its content requires a certain number of lust - Kiras desire to participate in events.
Were also using our groping system at the gym, plus gym events will be repeatable.
Our autosave has a questionable issue, and I will do my best to explain it here.
This feature will save your game every time youll enter the menu (esc key), and it will save the game to the first manual save youll make. It will then continue saving to it.
But, autosave doesnt see already existing savefiles, and so, every time youll load your save - it will treat it as the first one.
Just like Kira, our autosave unfortunately has amnesia, heres some examples of how it might affect the game:
Example 1
1. You have 10 saves, and youve decided to play v0.4.7.
2. Autosave cant see your 10 save files.
3. Youve loaded your last save file, let's call it save 7
4. Autosave now can see save 7, and it will save to it every time youll press esc key.
5. Works fine and should help with potential game crashes.
Example 2
1. You have a save file right before the New You event, let's call it save 5
2. Autosave cant see your save files.
3. Youre loadingsave 5 to see New You event again.
4. Autosave now can see save 5, and it will save to it every time youll press esc key.
5. After youve seen it, you decide to press esc key to access the menu.
6. You now have a save file right after the New You event instead of "before".
That's because our autosave cant see existing savefiles, and it will always treat every save youll load as the "main one".
For this reason, this feature will be optional and turned off by default, if youll want to use it in v0.4.7 - youll have to turn it on in "options" first.
Thank you for your support and patience! Were doing our best to finish v0.4.7 as quickly as we can, and I believe that the next release is just around the corner.
