Dev Update

Hi everyone! It's been a bit since I've given a stream of consciousness update as to where I'm at with things!

Let's start with Deight Class:

I'm currently on track for an August release of the 1.5 update. This update will be the biggest one yet. I'm hoping to release it here for you guys early August, so that it can go live for free mid August.

Development has been interesting for 1.5. Lots of ups and downs when it comes to motivation and direction. For a while I hemmed and hawed about if I should redo older images with the new AI and eventually settled on doing so. I'm not going to get to literally all of these for 1.5, but I will get to most of them.

As for content, I've hit somewhat of a wall in the narrative of the main cast. Lucy, Aerie, Chikori and Lilith have all been pretty difficult to write for this update. They're each getting a bit of content, but maybe less than you would expect, considering they're the main love interests.

Lilith is getting the most love since Chikori tier patrons are requesting more scenes of her, but other than that, they're only getting about one scene each.

Where the time has gone has been into a few new cast members. One of them is somebody you may have seen in passing: Chiffy. She'll totally reshape subsequent playthroughs of the game adding a ton of replay-ability. I'm super excited for her and I hope you are too. In the new update also come two new pseudo-love-interests: Emily and Jett. You don't date them the normal way, but you definitely romance them. I personally really like them both and I think they'll be some of your new favorites.

I've also spent a lot of time here and there just adding new scenes for existing side characters and new side characters altogether. I think you'll find that Deight Class feels totally different when you play the new update.

Now what else do I have going on?

I've been talking with some other developers in the space about possible collabs . Some names you would likely know, but I'll keep them a secret for now. These collabs would be in the form of game-jam-esque projects.

I've also found an artist to commission for my next game! I've been working with them for about a month on concept art and sprites for my next project and I'm excited to share some of it with you soon.

I'm still completely focused on Deight Class until 1.5 is out, but after it releases I'll be shifting most of my focus to this new project.

This new project will get updates exclusively here and nowhere else. I won't be posting any sort of demo or anything until the game is totally finished. And I hope you'll keep this project a secret between Deight Class patrons until its announcement.

I want to thank you all again for supporting me and Deight Class. Almost all of my motivation to push forward with this project and others is seeing how many of you enjoy it. If you ever have any questions about Deight Class, other projects, or literally anything, feel free to reach out anywhere (but I'm on discord the most).
