End of November's Update Report and More

This Month's supporter reward and Thanks for Your Support

I'm currently packaging the completed content for the v0.7 update, which may take a couple of days.

Unfortunately, due to the complexity of the story cutscenes, I couldn't finish the final boss battle
on time and had to postpone it to the next version. 

*The final boss of the new levels & missions, not the FINAL BOSS of the game.

The v0.7 update will not include the following:

• Hidden Village quest side-lines: Due to story modifications and map location adjustments, all players saved in this area will be reset to the Veiled Cave.
• New portrait illustrations: Due to the volume of work, the new story lacks Luna's portrait illustration; new portrait illustrations and costumes will be updated in the next version.
• Certain prison-themed H-scenes: To be updated later.
• Some new H-animations: To be supplemented later.

Regarding the delay this month:

Due to real-life and work reasons, I actually spent very little time on game development in November, which makes me feel guilty.

Also, I might have overexerted myself in the past two months, resulting in me not working over 12 hours a day this month, getting up early and staying up late, with almost no entertainment.

I am now resting more and reflecting on why I am making this game.

Many people might have noticed that I actually prefer creating games with challenging gameplay rather than enriching H-content, almost like making a normal Indie game. Of course, the richness of H-content is also important, or rather more important for a game like this, but it doesn't motivate me as much as exploring the gameplay itself.

So often I wonder, what can making such a possibly unorthodox game bring me?

The profits from making this game itself are not much... In the first year of officially starting this game (from April last year), I had almost no income and was losing money until I started to profit in July this year, thanks again to all supporters.

I often think, if I didn't delve into gameplay but just kept increasing the richness of H-content, like adding more plays, H states, H attributes, etc., I could attract more people, right? I know many creators do this, and it's actually the norm in the industry. Whether the game is fun or not isn't too important; what's important is how erotic it is.

I am fully aware of this, but in the end, I didn't do it.

I still prefer to make a game that is fun to play, not just a purely erotic game.

So, my game will probably continue to face many difficulties in the future.

It's not just about time; managing mental state is also important...

Some might ask why I don't just make an all-ages Indie game?

Before making WOS, I couldn't code at all, so making an Indie Game with RPGMAKER? That sounds very unpromising. And I didn't expect to actually learn coding, otherwise, I might just have used MV or Unity instead.

Besides, I don't dislike H-games at all.

这是这个月的支援特典，感谢各位的支持。

我正在整理打包已经完成的v0.7更新内容，可能需要俩三天的时间。

可惜因为剧情演出太复杂的缘故，最后也没能完成最后关卡的BOSS战，只能放在下一个版本中更新。

v0.7版本不包含以下内容：

• - 隐蔽之村（Hidden Village）的任务支线：因为剧情修改和地图位置调整，所有在此区域保存的玩家会被重置回Veiled Cave。
• - 新立绘：因为工作量太大的缘故，目前新剧情缺失露娜的立绘演出，新立绘和新服装会统一在下一个版本中更新。
• - 部分监狱种H剧情：之后更新补充。
• - 部分新的H动画：在之后补充。

关于这个月的延期问题：

由于现实与工作原因，实际上整个十一月我只花费了很少的时间在游戏制作上，这让我很愧疚。

以及可能前两个月过度压榨了我的精力，导致我这个月也没有再像之前那样一天工作12个小时以上，起早贪黑，几乎不曾娱乐。

我现在更多的是在休息，并思考为什么我要制作这款游戏。

我想很多人也发现了，我其实更喜欢制作拥有挑战性的游戏玩法，而不是增加H内容的丰富度，就像是在制作一款普通的Indie游戏一样。当然，H内容的丰富度也很重要，不如说H对于我这样的一款游戏来说要更重要，但这方面给我带来的动力远不及研究游戏本身的玩法。

所以很多时候我都在想，做这样一款可能不伦不类的游戏到底能给我带来什么？

制作游戏本身给我带来的收益并不多……我在正式开始做这个游戏的第一年（去年四月份开始），几乎是没有收入的，一直都是亏钱的，直到今年七月份才开始盈利，再次感谢各位支援者。

我经常会想，如果我没有钻研玩法，而是不停地增加H的丰富程度，比如增加更多play，H状态，H属性等等，想必可以吸引到更多人吧？我直到很多制作者都是这么做的，其实也是业界的常态。游戏好不好玩其实不太重要，重要的是色不色。

我心知肚明，但是我最后也没有这么做。

我还是更喜欢做一个玩起来也有意思的游戏，而不是单纯的色色游戏。

所以吧，我的这款游戏，估计今后也会继续困难重重吧？

不仅是时间上的问题，精神状态的管理也很重要啊。

可能有人会问我，为什么不直接做全年龄的Indie游戏？

我做WOS之前可是完全不会写代码的啊，我拿RPGMAKER做Indie Game？听上去就很没前途啊。而且我也没想到我真的学会了写代码，不然我可能直接用MV或者Unity了。

更何况我也不是不喜欢H游戏。
