Progress Report (Patreon)

Howdy! Here’s what’s up:

I’m still drawing and Moana is still coding everything in. I’d wish to say that we’re almost done, but there’s still plenty of work ahead of us. While I did reuse some art, I still had to draw a lot of things from scratch, including Katya and her outfits - all of this unfortunately takes time.

Given how much time it’s taken, I think I’ll make a “map” of sorts that will show you what the update will have and how many options it has. I’ll try to keep it vague, but I will post it in a separate download link to keep things spoiler-free.

We’ve also decided not to layer the poll event in this update, to speed things up. The other two H-events will be layered tho (Katya’s event is layered, I’m working on the secret one).

Naturally we’ll post the update as soon as it's ready and we don’t really need to wait for poll results in order to do so (we’ll just use one of Katya’s versions as a placeholder).

That said, here’s a bit about Katya and the poll results:

“Option 2” won, but not by a large margin - with tier modifiers it got just 5 votes ahead of “option 3”.

The Katya you see here is the one you will see in the game, I already edited her H-events and now I’d like for you to pick her “work” outfit, as for her “dorm” outfit it will be in a separate poll (I’m not done with its various versions).

Bear in mind that once we’ll introduce the AUG’s shop job, Kira won’t wear the same uniform - Katya will dress Kira up in something she deems “appropriate” (we’ll have a separate poll for that).

However, this uniform will play a part in AUG’s shop’s H-events (for example, Katya will harass Kira behind the counter, etc.).

Above you can see the three designs I made for Katya’s uniform, all are valid in their own right. Here’s a bit about their design:

If Deus Ex taught me anything, it’s that if I ever want to join the revolution - I should track down JC Denton in Hong Kong, and that hexagons are the future of fashion. Not just hexagons, any types of “-gones” really (gooner shapes, I think that’s what they’re called in the industry).

So, in our “Augmented” ladie’s design I tried to incorporate those gooner shapes, to make them look more futuristic - Katya and her outfits are no exception. Apart from that, I thought her “work” outfit design should reflect the work she does and Katya runs the store alone, so she kinda has multiple jobs at once.

That said, her work can be divided into three major things - hence, three versions of her outfits:

- Katya showcases and promotes the Augmentations (Model)

- Katya sells augmentations to people in need (Seller)

- Katya installs augmentations into people (Mechanic)

All three of them are lewd, but the first one is basically a towel - it’s meant to cover as little as possible and Katya will be forced to wear it in order to showcase and promote the implants.

The second one has a more professional vibe to it, it’s something you’d expect a “manager” to wear and it kind of looks more “dominant” in my opinion.

And the third one is a stereotypical denim overalls you might see on a mechanic (at least that’s how mechanics look in my head) and Katya does work with tech.

As you can see, all of them are indeed “valid” and regardless of what option wins, we will reference Katya’s uniform in text  - she’ll either hate it or love it, but she will wear it at work.

Oh, and it’s worth mentioning that ideally all outfits you see on our female (and some male) NPCs will be available to Kira, at least that’s how I envisioned it, but that won’t happen soon.

Overall there’s no complications with the upcoming update, it’s just bigger than I thought and it requires more art than I hoped - we’re doing our best to finish it as soon and make it as good as we can.

Katya’s design isn’t my top priority, but since I can’t show you a teaser of our second “secret” H-event or a T-Shirt that comes with it (I don’t want to ruin the joke), I thought I should put in more effort into Katya’s outfit to hopefully make the wait more tolerable.

The second Katya’s outfit poll (Dorm outfit) and her transformation path polls are planned for next month and I’m hoping we’ll finally finish this update by then. Here’s the link to the current poll in case you missed the notification:

That’s pretty much it, all I wanted to say for today. Thank you all for your patience and support! The end is near!
