v0.3.9 update: they're still horny (Patreon)

Hello cadets!

This week we bring you more news about the development of the next patch. We'll also share more with you about our upcoming new project, Silent Echo.

First off, our writer is currently sick, which unfortunately causes development of Starwatch Academy to move at a slower pace. This means the patch will see some delay compared to the traditional one month release schedule. We wish him a speedy recovery. 

Side Characters

Since we're focusing on the characters in general, we're taking a look back at two of our supporting characters in particular. Felix and Daniella, both provide access to work related minigames, and both were initially intended to be little more than some background characters as such.

With the next patch however, we're looking at expanding both of them into being slightly more fleshed out, with potential for the player character to spend time with them in ways that will give them some depth to their characters while also providing new conquests in the bedroom.

Diane

Previously we spoke about Curie, the first character that we meet at Starwatch, getting some more love and attention from us. Alongside that, we're also returning to Diane, who is the second character you can meet, and one of the potential romance choices for the player.

We're looking at adding a host of interactions with her throughout the Academy and City, as well as a new spicy scene that caters specifically to her favorite past-times.  To that end, we hope you've made a point of learning where the feisty tomboy like to spend her free time.

Zara

Zara has gotten a fair bit of love from us across the patches since her introduction, and while we're mostly happy with where she is at the moment, she's still getting a couple of new interactions, as well as some setup for the future. After all, how many sexy telepathic aliens do we have?

For now, all the content coming for Zara is a lead in for future work, and will lay the stepping stones for what's to come further down the line.

Silent Echo

We spoke about this new project in a previous patreon post. Progress has been nothing short of amazing and we're very excited to release the first version of this project later in March.

At the moment we have implemented features such as a dynamic combat system, support for different weapons with damage types and support for additional abilities such as throwing a grenade at the enemy.

We're also experimenting with a few new development techniques, such as animated sex scenes and a very different format of storytelling.

All around, we've taken the gloves off with this project and we're happy to share with you today the first look at Silent Echo's main character, Agent 36, and the various twisted transformations he will go through.

Final Word

As you can see there's a fair few things going on behind the scenes! We hope you're as excited as we are for what's to come.

Have fun out there!
