[News] Dev's blog #45

Hey there!

How are you guys doing in these tough times? I hope you are all safe and doing well.

______________________________________________________________________________

First of all, before I give you an update about development process and so on, I wanna letting you know what’s going on.

As many of you probably know, horrific things are happening in Eastern Europe (Ukraine) right now. Even though these events directly affects me and my life, I didn't touch on this topic earlier because I didn't want to bring politics in here (and besides that, at first I just didn't believe something like that could really happen these days). But every day the situation is getting worse, and I don't know how long it will last, how far it will go and how it will end. So I had to make some decisions because of the current situation, and I fear I'll have to make some more in the future.

I know I promised you at the end of February that I won't take a long break. And at that moment I was really planning to go back to work after a one-month rest... But sometimes unexpected things happen in life that we are not able to influence. So for now I'm not sure that I can keep my promise and return to usual game development mode in early April. That's why I extended the pause in billing until May.

Besides that, after a medical examination those minor health problems of mine that I wrote about earlier turned out to be not so minor as I thought. But this is nothing compared to the above.

To summing up this part:

• I paused billing for the next month again (if you will be an active patron at the start of the next billing cycle in April, then you will not be charged).
  Perhaps, if the political situation improves, I will be able to return to usual game development mode in early April as I planned. But so far I don't see any prerequisites for this.
• I will continue to post side content (wallpapers and custom renders) in April and it will be available to all patrons just like the March content (news posts will be available for all)
• I will continue to develop the next update (slow mode) and keep posting news about it.

If the situation gets much worse by the beginning/the middle of April, then most likely I'll have to move to another country. It will be quite a radical solution, but I guess that this is the only option under which I'll be able to continue developing my project as before.

Now enough about the bad, it's time to get back to the game.

1) Despite the fact that I decided to devote this month to rest, I already managed to make some content for the next update. I've started writing a couple of events and I'm slowly preparing scenes for the upcoming sorority party. 

I won't reveal all the interesting points about this party at once, but first - it will be another free roam event and second - this party will be much bigger, more diverse and varied than any of other previous free roam events.

Of course, I won't forget about the events outside of this party. At least in v0.9.5 you will have a morning event with Sara and a small event with Rachel.

2) I started going through the game from the beginning and have already managed to draw some conclusions. 

First of all, I feel that I want to redo a significant part of the events that were added to the game before v0.3.0. I would like to improve their graphical component. And I mean not only the quality of renders, but also, for example, to add some animations for lewd scenes from early updates (also change the slideshow animation to normal ones). And of course, in addition to the graphic component, I would like to make some general adjustments and minor changes.

So far I don't know when I'll have time to do it, and I don't know how interested you are in it. But I do know that I have to do it.

3) I've remake some user interface elements that didn't fit into the overall style. Probably these are little things that few people pay attention to, but nevertheless I think it was worth spending some time on it.

4) I outlined some good endings for several girls. Of course, it's too early to make any spoilers, but believe me, each of main heroines will get a decent ending. 

I'm also thinking of special endings for some minor characters. Not any specific thoughts for now, but I think a couple of side endings won't hurt.

The harem ending is still in development.

So far, this is all news I wanted to bring to you. I have much more, but I'll leave them for the next news posts.
