General Update #48

Hey there everyone!

We're making good progress on the games, and today we'll share some news about them with you.

Silent Echo

We have finished the implementation of Ava Succubus, her new scenes and a brand new fem exclusive added for all three variants of Ava.

Currently, we are working on four main tasks:

• We're implementing new small talk options with the cast, especially with Agent 18.

• We're reviewing and updating some earlier scenes in Chapter 3 to involve Agent 18. As the chapter can be played non-linearly, it makes sense to have some reactions from her in some earlier scenes (ex: first siren encounter, vivarium visit, etc)

• Weapons will receive new upgrade options! You will likely have noticed the acid gun has higher base damage than the earlier weapons. It is not our intent to make it an all around better option, especially as we will be implementing upgrade options for it as well. Both the UMP(s) and the shotgun will receive new upgrade options after you acquire the plans for these upgrades in one of the new areas of the Artifact wing being added in the next update.

• A brand new sex scene in the security room, involving an unexpected friend. Who could it possibly be?

All around progress is good, and we're looking forward to delivering the next update!

Starwatch

We're also making good progress on Starwatch!

Last week we finished removing the androgynous body type from the game and updated all scenes previously involving it.

In parallel, we've been working on implementing the third crew quest, which will be Natalie's personal quest. In the above image, you can see the new faction that will be introduced with this quest, which is the aptly named scavengers.

Always around when there is profit to be made, regardless of the legalities involved, the scavengers are faction of hard living outcasts and scrappers, used to operating in dangerous conditions inside and outside of the law.

Their presence is often overlooked as a lesser evil, their countless salvage operations ensuring the accumulated debris of hundreds of years of the empire's lifespan doesn't pose a threat to any travelers in space, while the occasional rumors of them claiming perfectly fine ships for salvage are quickly forgotten by the time they're needed to remove wreckage from a space lane.

Along with a first introduction to the scavenger faction, the player and their squad is finally given a chance to start peeling back the layers of censorship carefully maintained by the Academy and Empire at whole, opening them to a whole host of new thoughts and worries for the future they're preparing for.

That's it for this week!
Have fun!
