18/04/2024 - Episode 3 Preview

Good afternoon fellow culture connoisseur’s, I bring tidings of the next update for Twinewood. Progress is going very well and I’m on track for my original target of a release at the end of the month. I have a few scenes left to render and one pretty big one I’m fully re-writing due to not being originally happy with it but I’m fairly certain it should get to you all soon but I wanted to share with you all a bit about how episode 3 is going to work, as it’s a bit different to the previous ones.

The main structure of the episode is non-linear now with the next week of MCs life being split into four time slots. Morning, Midday, Afternoon, and Evening. Then, provided there are no mandatory events at the time such as class or something funky with the story, you’ll be able to pick an activity to do during that time slot from a list of unlocked events which will change/become available based on your previous choices, I.E. deciding upon the Maya or Kara route. In the initial update you’ll be able to play through the first two days which will feature some lewd events with Chloe and Lia, getting to know your choice of either Kara or Maya, and some developments in the main story.

As the rest of episode 3 gets released more events will be retroactively added to the pool providing more content for other characters like Sarah. I think it’s quite an interesting formula which adds a bit more player choice to the mix however I’m still undecided on whether or not you’ll be able to actually fully miss events. This would pose issues for continuity and could possibly be frustrating for players missing content though it would add to the replay value. Perhaps only minor scenes will be miss-able like getting the choice between a sex scene between two different girls. If you have any thoughts on the matter feel free to let me know below.

Once more, here’s a list of the update highlights for those who might have missed them in the previous dev update.
