March Update

Hey guys, it's been a while hasn't it?

First of all, we would like to thank everyone for their patience once again. 2021 has been actually pretty good for the team so far (mostly), so we’d just like to say thank you for your support in making our ability to work on the game as best it can be right now.

Now, time for what's being currently worked on and when you can expect the next update.

At first, we were thinking about getting one smaller update ready, simply to show that there is new content being produce, along with some writing changes. However… it really wouldn’t be much, and hence, not as much fun an experience Therefore, we would like to push it back abit and actually get some more features and content created before the next update releases.

As we mentioned in a previous post, there are some new scenes for an already existing character, such as Rika or Cece, prepared and ready to show in-game but we also have to start thinking about how we would like to introduce new characters as well. New characters like the forest witch, or new monster races in the breeding grounds. However, we actually already have some dialogue ready and the story planned out for those potions. The main challenge we’re facing right now is "How do we deliver it to the player?" Well, there is actually one area already in the game that is going to connect everything new that's been planned… and this is the "Forest" area.

See we’ve already got a main background of the forest in place, an elvish meadow, and a water grotto to help represent that forest. Now, we could probably just create a handful more forest images, but it’s dawning on us that we could do better than that. We want to make the forest area of the game more interesting, and a unique element to gameplay. It should be an area where you can actually discover new places, things and people in a fun sorta way.

That's why we were thinking about adding a "top-down" adventure part for the game, where you can actually run through the forest yourself and discover new characters or monster races. This would add an additional type of gameplay and provide a more “game” type feeling to our visual novel involving breeding monsters, picking veggies, and banging farm girls.

Unfortunately, designing these top-down assets is surprisingly more difficult than had been anticipated. This is why we would ask *you* for your help in this instance. If you have some experience in this sorta area it would be nice if you could reach out to us in discord. We are simply looking for someone who can help us with designing the forest. Characters or monsters are something we can make ourselves.

And before anyone starts typing away frantically: no, we are not planning or producing anything too complicated like a complicated combat or companion system in the game. It's simply supposed to be a way to switch up exploration and make it more engaging to discover the world of Lopar. Breeding Monsters is still the main feature of the game. This feature is meant to help make monsters a discoverable as well, instead of simply buying them in a shop.  

Anyway, that's it for now. Thank you all for your continued support. Please take care and stay safe.

Sincerely,

-GZone & Team Bieno
