Introducing the new named tiers (Patreon)

Hello my dear patrons,

since some time now, the game has used three tiers to give you an idea about a character's importance in the game. These tiers were simply called tier 1, tier 2 and tier 3.

This logic will be replaced by something that better fits the vision of the game and how it will move forward into the future. The change to named tiers will better represent the meaning of a tier and should so be less confusing for the player.

In the future all characters will belong to a tier and not only the resort guests. This includes special characters and staff members.

Characters can be assigned a different tier as the game continues to mature, to better reflect their standing within the current game development. These tier changes will not be very frequent though.

Here is the list of the new named tiers and their meaning:

• Unique --> This tier is reserved for the girls that have a uniquely large amount of content and who will continue to get a lot of new content in the future. Girls who belong to this tier will also be uniquely qualified to get new content and new game logic first.
• Main --> Girls belonging to this tier will play a major role in future game development. Most of them already have a large amount of content, but it's not a necessary requirement to be a member of this tier.
• Regular --> Everyone belonging to this tier will get regular updates on scenes, events and appointments. Just not with the frequency and size of Main or Unique characters. A regular girl can also play a key role in a quest.
• Side --> This tier is the home of the characters that will not play a major role in future game development. They will still get an occasional update or a new scene, but don't expect a lot of new content for them.
• Complete --> All girls belonging to this group will no longer get content updates beside what is necessary for the game to function properly. They can get quality updates or rerenders of existing scenes if I consider it necessary to uphold the quality standard of the game.

Reasons why certain characters get a different tier than you migh thave expected:

• Delizia is no longer in the list of resort guests, so she's missing from the screenshot above. She belong to tier "side", which makes her a side staff character.
• Ivy will be promoted to regular resort guest. The reason for this step is that she is a character that allows for certain funny scenes that are not possible with other characters. To  be able to fully enjoy her in the future, she will be replaced by a new but similar enough Ivy. This new Ivy will be better looking and will also be using state of the art assets. The Ivy we have right now will be removed from the game to  be replaced by a new Ivy character.
• Natasha will become a side resort guest and will be phased out eventually. There are a couple of reasons for this step.
  As an early version of a colored skin character, her assets are no longer up to current standards. There is no way to fix this without changing her too much and having to recreate all her content.
  She will still see the current content (e.g. Hotshots) and her quest line finished. After that, she will be retired to tier "complete".
  There is also some good news for the busty dark skin lovers out there. After Natasha's phase out, a new girl that fulfills all the criteria for a state of the art dark skinned busty girl will be introduced as an additional resort guest.
• Faye will become a regular resort guest. The reason for this step is that she is the only girl, that is still using a mix of custom and very old Victoria 4 skin textures, which makes her extremely expensive and time consuming to render and post work. Worse, it also means she no longer supports any newer adult scene assets, because they are incompatible.
  Faye has done really well, beyond expectations. But will leave active development as she completes her remaining tasks. It is not something that will happen tomorrow, but should be seen as a mid term plan.
  Combined with Natasha’s situation this will leave a gap in the super busty class of girls. Therefore a new girl is planned that will take her place on the island. But it will take some time to select and refine a girl of that class.

Take care and stay healthy.
