Update - Week #79, 80 (Patreon)
Content
GENERAL
The last two weeks have been a bit hectic, but we're still focused on trying to get Q:LHS v0.10 ready as soon as possible. We were hoping to release the next update by the end of this month (which could still happen if everything goes well), but realistically we'll be needing the first week of April to make sure everything is in place.
A WIP of Kaito was shared to patrons last week. Skin and hair tones of Kaito will be updated based on what you select during the character creation screen.
OUR FOCUS
We've been receiving messages over the last couple of months regarding the decision to focus entirely on Q:LHS and how some of you would rather we continued making the smaller Quickies instead. We'd just like to take this time to address the concerns and outline what our plan is moving forward.
Firstly, we'd like to thank our patrons for your support since we've started this Patreon roughly a year and a half ago. We're extremely grateful to be in the position we're in and don't take your support lightly. We try to involve our patrons in all our major decisions with this Patreon (via polls), which included the decision to focus entirely on Q:LHS. Not all of you liked this decision and we completely understand why you'd want to discontinue your patronage, but we do really appreciate the support you've given us in the past.
For us, Q:LHS is a much better way to develop the Quickie universe and provide a full experience for our patrons and fans. Q:LHS v0.10 has taken longer than we initially anticipated, but thanks to the extra time, we've managed to learn and build a base framework we're comfortable with. Builds taking longer than 2 months to develop is not ideal to us (and for our patrons) and we believe the work we've put into v0.10 will help future builds release within reasonable time-frames.
Q:LHS is an ambitiously large project (especially for a team of two), a game size we realize may not have been clear when the initial poll to decide whether we focus on Q:LHS was released. Due to this, we're thinking of releasing a patron poll after v0.10 to get updated feedback on the current state of the game (e.g. whether you like it as is, or scale back/simplify in scope) and what you'd prefer we do moving forward. (As a side note, we realize for an adult game, there isn't a lot of adult content in it yet. We have an h-scene planned for v0.11, but do also have another idea we're excited about (and believe you'll enjoy) to increase the amount of h-scenes in Q:LHS.)
Hopefully this helps explain why we're focusing on Q:LHS and gives some insight into what's in store soon. Feedback is extremely valuable to us (especially from our patrons!) and we do make an effort to read every comment and message we receive across all social platforms. More information on the patron poll and h-scene idea will be announced after the release of v0.10.
CONNOISSEUR SKETCH/POLL
After adding the weighted votes, "Sara in nothing but long socks in The Pose" won by a landslide with 72% of the votes! We're aiming to release the sketch early next month.
Keep safe and have an amazing week!
