General Update #50

Hey there everyone!

We made it to the 50th general update! Time sure flies. Today we'll you some news on what's going on with Starwatch and Silent Echo.

Starwatch Academy

In the last post, we talked about the third crew quest, which is Natalie's personal quest. This quest is now 100% finished, tested and ready for you to explore.

As a result, we've moved back to the Academy and have been working on the follow-up to the lab incident, but not only!

As you can see above, we've updated Daniella's artworks, but also the entirety of GeneForge and its related scenes. Artworks, storytelling and functionality have all been updated up to our newer development capabilities.

In addition to this, we've done a comprehensive rework of how the game's sleep system works so events can now be triggered from any sleep location. The incident sequence has been updated to make use of this, which solves the problem of the sequence completely breaking the game if you happen to sleep aboard the Eos instead of your Apartment if still under the effects of the TF sequence.

Some events will still be limited to the Apartment or the Eos if from a logical standpoint it is required, but for others like characters sending you a message, these events will be available from any location, ensuring a smoother overall experience.

With this out of the way, we're about to start the implementation of the follow-up quest, which will lead to Daniella introducing you to a mysterious acquaintance of her, Dr. Rose.

For now that is where we are at. We'll have more news to share soon!

Silent Echo

We've been combing through the bug reports of version 0.3.3 and have fixed several problems on the internal version, such as the new visual corruption system not working properly in many sex scenes, or Emilia's corruption not being properly displayed in her reworked relief scene.

We'll release a maintenance update version 0.3.3a this weekend to solve these issues.

On the development side of things, we're finished setting up the scope for version 0.3.4. New areas, enemies, sex scenes and items is what we've settled on as what will likely be our final content patch for Chapter 3 before the final sequence is implemented.

The end of Chapter 3 is near, and there's some big trouble ahead for Agent 36!

That's it for this week!
Have fun!
