Corporate Development Memo (1/4/2025)

First of all, Happy New Year and 2025 to everyone!

I will list here where I am in terms of getting the Test Version to Final.

1) Corrections phase (basically done)

2) Animations/balancing points and flags (mostly done, about 70 percent adding animations last for this step)

3) One sub scene (have set up basic characters and wrote about half of the scene, so need to render it and write rest of it.)

Two of the assistants to help Olivia for this final scene.

4) Two dom scenes

I have written the setup scenes (rendered about 75 percent of these) before the final scene I want to do for this path.

5) Outro scene from me thanking people, etc. (DONE)

6) Intro slide card (DONE)

7) Anais intro about her game (DONE)

8) Preview scene from her setting/game with a KG character who survives and is a "woman out of time" so to speak. (WRITTEN/NOT RENDERED)

So if you kind of see everything above, you see my tasks for this week. I am hoping to release the Final Version next weekend.   I wanted to get it out a little faster but honestly the holidays and family stuff (most have left now after the last few days) in town was quite busy, and the last sub/dom scene I want to add are a bit longer than prior updates from Test-->Final.

I am considering one thing for later today. (only 5 hour poll, curious to get feedback will particularly pay attention to 15 and up tiers)

I am considering releasing the Test Version to the $15 tier as is, or with a few changes added as described above. I personally don't think current Test players need to redownload it unless they want to see the outro and a bit of info on Anais' game. (but it's just an intro) There is a bit more dom content with the pics above, but it's not a huge amount and I personally think one can wait for everything being done.

But I'd like to do something for this specific tier personally. And the changes above (mostly the outro/Anais intro) would be reflected in this version...I'd recompile it for here.

So the poll is basically simple:

1) Release to 15 tier the same Test Version as I did to $20.

2) Release to 15 tier the minor updates on Test Version.

3) Just wait until Final is ready for now...

I really want to get back to work so trying to keep this short. But I will check this poll in five hours and see if I want to add in a new post to the $15 tier with either the same or tweaked (again, not a ton) version for this tier.

I sincerely hope everyone has a great 2025, and I am grinding hard this week to try and make my goal! Appreciate the patience and especially nice messages/feedback I have been getting from Test Version players. This is easily the most positive and engaged feedback I have gotten since starting this game. :)

Love,

Tess
