General Update #5 (Patreon)

Hey everyone!

We've got some good news to share with you regarding both projects!

Starwatch Academy

Today, we're giving you a sneak peek at the male paperdoll, showcasing the sleek new look that we're sure you're going to love. The transition has been a meticulous process, but we're thrilled with the results and can't wait for you to see the full lineup.

This has been a significant issue for us as we didn't want to release new clothes or customization options under the previous artstyle. I'm pleased to share with you today that we are further along than expected with this update and we will be able to roll out this upgrade with version 0.3.9 instead of version 0.4.0.

This will also change some things under the hood, which will make it easier for us to release new clothes and customization options afterwards. If you've been looking to expand your panties collection, that will be possible very soon!

As for the game itself, progress has been steady but slow on the writing front. It's getting there though!

Silent Echo

We've been going over the bug reports and improvement suggestions you have sent us.

We have fixed some annoying behaviors of the game, such as losing the encounter when opening the inventory prior to the start of a fight, now you can properly consume some good soda and boost yourself with a nanite booster before a fight without issue.

The minimap has also been improved to now highlight your current location and display a marker. This should help getting around the base!

Recycling should also be implemented in the next patch, giving you a way to convert scavenged items into resin should you find yourself in a pickle.

Now that the bugfix/improvement phase is complete, we'll be looking into adding the missing content on the Compliant branch, implement more random encounters, and finally give purpose to the pink dildo.

Commissions

On a very different topic, two weeks ago we've accepted the first commission for Starwatch Academy! It is a bodyswap scene that will be featured in version 0.3.9. The game is now at a good enough place where we can accept to implement commissionned scenes and minor storylines.

If this is something you're interested in, feel free to reach out to us!

TFGames Contest

Silent Echo was initially designed for the latest "The Future 2124" contest up and running on TfGames. The contest is now in voting phase. If you have a TFGames account and have not yet voted, please consider taking a minute to vote for Silent Echo if you feel it warrants your vote.

Should Silent Echo win the contest, we will release an exclusive artwork to celebrate!

That's it for this week!

Have fun out there!
