February 2020 NewsLetter - Public version

Dear All,

As the year 2020 has been kicking into gear, we have been hard at work starting on what is to be the last full chapter of Sylvia the game.
With this post, we are releasing the February build of Sylvia, which contains the first quarter of said fourth chapter.

In chapter 4 the story branches into three paths, one for each of the girls, and an additional alternative path. In this month’s release, we are focusing on the common path and some of Sylvia’s path.
 
As this post is public to comply with Patreon's policies we removed or blurred all NSFW pictures from the original post.

Sylvia

To track this process, we have created a progress meter for each of the girls’ paths, which you can see below.

The focus will be at first heavily on the common path (path that is common to all girls) and the finalization of Sylvia’s path.
For Sylvia’s path we have a hefty update of two new animated and interactive scenes (and teaser!), three new outfits and several new dialogue scenes, new expressions and even a new outfit for Léa. 

There are also several new backgrounds, variations and scenes.
To complement the gameplay and spice up the story we’ve also added new interactive ways to experience the game and its sexy scenes. In the February release we are adding quick time events, a charge up mechanic, scene viewing and talk battles to our various new scenes.

Over 650 voice lines are also being recorded and will be implemented in the subsequent releases. 

With the start of the fourth chapter, we are also beginning to look back and tidy up the game that precedes the finale. We’ve gone over and revised or added new scenes or interactions to the previous chapters – some of which have made it to the February release. 

We also felt that the game deserves a beginning befitting the rest of it, and have therefore created an entirely new, narrated Prologue chapter to introduce the story to you. This chapter has three new artworks and features snippets about Valérie’s and the protagonist’s past to satiate your curiosity.

We are also making small changes to the interface of the game to improve gameplay. The info screens are no longer mandatory, and can be turned off or on in the preferences menu. We have fixed some minor bugs and updated to Renpy 7.3.5.606.

On top of this, we have also added an option to save your game at the end of a developed path to allow you to either rollback, save or continue with the story once new content is released. We know how annoying it is to lose your save when the game is updated, and hope that this new feature will allow you to seamlessly pick up from where you left off.

To help navigate this huge release, we’ve also updated our Scene Selector that is available to our Fiancé tier patrons. 

An android port is also released alongside February build for those that prefer to play the game on their phone.  

There is much and more to come for the subsequent releases, so stay tuned. Your feedback and advice has allowed us to make additions and changes to the game with drastic improvements, and we could not be more thankful, and can’t wait to hear what you all think of this latest release.
