The Android Deep Dive (Patreon)

Welcome everyone and hope you're in for a lengthy post! This Deep Dive is here to answer any and all questions regarding the upcoming Android Build which release July 24th, 2023. Before we start into content and expectations, we've gotten a few questions which we'll answer straight away:

FAQ:

Will the Android Build also come with a PC release on Ren'Py?
--No. For the moment, the APK is the most concerning thing for us. No changes to that focus have been made

Is the full SU experience launching with the APK and if not, what is the release schedule?
--Short answer, no. Down below you will read about all the content that is coming out at launch and what will simply be added later with updates. In terms of a release schedule, that is a WIP. Launching the APK is the priority. Support will be discussed after July

Will the APK be free or paid?
--The APK will be freely available and every update that follows will also be free

"Will we be allowed to mod the APK version of SU?"
--Yes so long as you are not breaking laws in doing so. We do encourage modding work so if you do end up with anything of quality, do share it. We are not going to stop anyone from modding.

Do we report bugs to Sunsetriders7 or will there be a specific place to post those?
--Sunset has no control over the APK so all bugs and such will be in it's own area of our Discord. Please do not reach out to Sunset as the main coder and worker here is HenshinVolt.

Will saves transfer over?
--No. Unity hard codes your saves to your computers inner workings. Pulling them would never work especially going from Unity to Ren'Py. All players will have to start a new game for the APK!

Deepdive:
Now let's jump into the nitty gritty. Coming July, 24th you will have access to the following:

16 Base Cells:
Batgirl
Huntress
Black Canary
Stargirl
Zatanna
Vixen
Supergirl
Wonder Woman
Hawkgirl
Artemis Crock
Starfire
Miss Martian
Terra
Donna Troy
Cassie Sandsmark
Raven

8 Villain Cells:
Mercy Graves
Audrey
Harley
Harley 2
Galatea
Cheshire
Blackfire
Superwoman

5 Side Character Cells:
Lois Lane
Darci Mason
Lana Lang
Roulette
Tala

Basically, everything the game needs to catch up into the current Story Chapter will be available at launch. Each of these Cells will have every single interaction that is within the main Unity Build of SU so you will be able to easily see your favorite sex scenes and costumes for every girl all from the comfort of your phone.

On top of this we also have the following content that is also strongly filled in

Every Glamour Slam Option
Legion Hiring (The intial ones for the 4 upgraded levels)
Heists (aside from prison break tech)
Devices and Upgrades
Capturing
Villain Henchwoman Screen
Villain Status Screen
Tala's Items
Summoning like for Raven
Cloning
Robotics
and Upgrading Locations

So you will not only have every option on the Map Screen but all the interactions you've come to expect from say, Tala and Roulette will be awaiting you upon download. Every core system will also have all the functionality like upgrading Devices, the cloning time, and sending Villains to cause trouble.

As a bonus, the following is also going to be available on release due to us releasing later in the month.

Events:
Prison
Kasnia

So once you have established yourself in the world, Lex will finally get the chance to meet Amanda Waller and to proceed with the Kasnia Wedding Event. The remaining Events like The Yacht and Legion of Shadows require more time and will be released later on in 2023/2024. We will announce such releases when the time is right and a firm release date can be given.

Now we come to the part of what ISN'T launching with this first APK build. Please read carefully as this content is not going to be found in any way come this first update in July:

What isn't included

Nanda Parbat / League of Shadows
Almerac
Lex Room Content
Villain Location Placement
Prison Breakout Ending
Yacht Event
Halloween Event
Themyscira Event
Bordello
Catwoman Intro Scene

And the following characters will also be missing/removed:
No Lobo
No Crush
No Circe Content
No Wally West
No Sportsmaster

In terms, you're looking at around 80% of the current SU Story being readily available as a first release. The remaining amount requires vast amount of work and testing so we hope to grace your screens with it in the comings months!

Now any deep dive wouldn't be finished without going into the area of Quality of Life. Since SU is running on Unity, HenshinVolt has improved many aspects of the APK release. The following changes have been made to further assist in your brand new save for the APK release:

-Manual Saves
-Text Speed
-Skipping Seen Text
-Hiding Textbox
-Vault with text for every scene
-Extra Nickname choices
-More customized nickname placement in text
-New locations for the Next Night button
-Henchwoman Selection shortcut
-Villains show up more for hiring
-No acquirement of misc items in heists
-More portrait focus changes.  

The Manual Saves and Text Speed are stuff we've heard about for YEARS and we're extremely bless that HenshinVolt added them to the Android Build. As you can all tell, a lot of work has gone in to shape SU into something of comfort. For as lengthy of a game that SU is, comfort was the number one thing that HenshinVolt narrowed in on. We hope every person is able to play SU not only on the go but also with the absolute luxery and comfort we could deliver.

There are a few other minor additions like screen adaption but it's not anything of importance. What is important is this APK being bug free. Once the APK releases on July 24th, 2023, we are hoping to get all bugs reported on our new Itch.io page, the Discord, or the Patreon Post this is all attached too. PLEASE do not bother SunsetRiders7 over this as HenshinVolt is the only person working on the Android Port.

This will pretty much finish off this deep dive but if you have anymore questions, do ask. This is a vastly different release than what we're used too so any concerns, questions about the content, etc, post those now.

We at GG are extremely excited to get Something Unlimited into many more hands than before. The community has been absolutely incredible so this is just going to grow it out even more. Thank you all for being patient with us in the last few years over the possibility of a APK release. Your wait... Is nearly over!
