Progress Report (Patreon)

Howdy! Here’s what’s up:

-We’re still working on the Farm part of the Vivarium, life is hard. I’ve said I’m going to learn from our mistakes and release the game quicker from now on, and I’ll prove that  with my actions.

-There's also a new goal at 3000$ - “we will start commissioning a writer for H-events on a regular basis”

This will drastically cut the time I spend on writing and allow me to focus on mainstory and artworks (I’ll still write H-events, just not all of them).

-And I’m going to start occasionally commissioning the writer (LostRaven), starting from next month already, because I’m really getting buried under the weight of the game.

I was kind of worried that I went a bit overboard with humor in our last update, but it appears you liked it, or at least didn’t hate it, which is also a win in my books.

Sure, I’ve gotten some feedback that there’s “too much text”, but this is a text-based game, so people are unfortunately required to read. Plus, I really did boil it down to what’s absolutely crucial to the story, and with all the new information we’ve dumped on you - this is the best I could do.

Maybe it won’t feel like “too much” text, once we’ll roll out random H-events in between of the story, I don’t know, this issue is not on the top of my list to be honest.

This brings me to the next point, the Farm part of Vivarium was the opposite of that, it had a ton of H-events with no “breathing room” in between (I believe I’ve already mentioned this issue last month). We fixed that by adding tasks that happen in between, and we’re currently working on the layering and polishing of everything that’s in there. I don’t have anything new to show you yet, since I didn’t draw anything new (and apart from some npc art, I don’t intend to), but I assure you we’re getting there and the work is going.

I also want to learn from our mistakes moving forward, so we’ll release content more regularly for a while, at the price of not advancing the plot. I mean, we will just work with what we have - a ton of unfinished locations and missing H-events.

Here’s a few things to give you the idea (not in any order):

-Pet play at Vivarium

-Finishing the Vivarium quest

-Random H-events at Vivarium

-Random H-events at Moscow

-Repeatable gloryhole events

-Overhaul and expansion of waitress job

-Overhaul and expansion of prison

-Bringing back the movies content

-Adding H-events with Katya

-Adding H-events with Olga

-Redrawing or drawing some npcs

-Layering all H-events properly (now we finally can do that)

-Adding appearance references to the text everywhere.

-Character art from the back

-Remaining 5 breast sizes (for all events and outfits)

-Adding all outfits and more partners to the groping system

I want to do all of that at the same time, but I have to pick my battles and accept the fact that the game is still in development.

However, what I can do - is do better in general, by releasing content at a more stable pace. To fulfil that promise, I will start commissioning another writer for H-events next month.

This will speed up the development and help me with my workload. I’ll still write the story, and I will continue to write H-events, just not all of them (the game really needs a ton of them).

I need more funds to release the game quicker, but I need to release the game quicker to get more funds.

So I’m in a bit of a pickle here, and I hope that getting another writer will help the project out. That is why I’m also adding another goal to our Patreon.

That’s pretty much all I wanted to say, I have big plans and now I’m off to continue making them a reality.

Part two will be out as soon as possible, but it is quite complex due to all of our excessive options, outcomes and variables.

We’re really getting buried under all our features and variables, but I’m going to fix that by working only on H-events and artworks for a couple of month, and by hiring another writer.

Thank you all for your patience and support, the end is near once again!
