Deviant Anomalies 0.5 Hype Spoilers 1!

Helllloooooa Peeepo!

0.5 is just round the corner so it's time to build the hype! Oh yes. It's spoiler time.
Those who don't want spoilers please don't read any further. 

Alrighty. For the past updates, I've been working on getting renders and stuff right as well as animations. I'm at a point where I'm confident in that already, especially animations. I can continue to make good animations now so I'm happy about that. 

What I'm focusing on this update is writing! This release will mark the end of the first arc which means intro part will be over soon and we need to get serious! 

I've never been a good writer but this is a story I've always had in my head so I will try my best to put it out into the world. I think writing is a skill that can be learnt and perfected with practice! 

This right here is young spade. How cool is that? Gosh I love Spade he is my favorite character in the whole story. I want to take time to make him look good. You have no idea how long I've spent on his damn frikkin hair. For all you nuggets who keep complaining about mc hair and ugly male characters, do you have any idea how difficult it is to make cool looking males in HS? Haha.

Also took a long time to re-create the crime scene of the night mc parents are murdered. I put in lots of time to get details/locations/props right and the vibe is important as it is a major event!

I really want to develop the characters we see so far so that people can feel for the characters and hopefully like them as the game goes on. I think that will be much more satisfying as there are plenty of games and porn if you just want lewd scenes. This is especially true for MC!

I've never wanted a cool max payne noir detective as MC. I feel a funny, dorky silly mc that reveals more and more as the game goes on is more interesting! But we need him to be a real force later in the game and we need to start developing him now. It's been a struggle trying to balance the darker, serious tones with the funny, silly aspects of the game.

Figuring out when and how to reveal information to the players is a pain! Firstly, the game is quite free roaming with choices and sequence of events so I'm more limited in railroading the player.  Also how much to reveal and when? Is it too soon? Will the players figure it out to easily or is it too convoluted to follow? 

I don't want this to be just a niche game with small hardcore fanbase.. I'm hoping that hardcore nerds will have enough mysteries to figure out and think (I personally like games/movies/stories where I have to think twice and guess and figure out rather than straightforward bang bang). If you notice, successful games/movies or stories in general are simple and straightforward. I don't want to scare off mainstream audiences either that just want a simple, easy to follow plot. So its a hard balance!

This problem extends to lewds and puzzles as well! Hardcore players will find puzzles too easy or sex too vanilla while mainstream might find hard puzzles too difficult or lewds too extreme. I guess it's hard to please everybody but I think it's possible to achieve a deep satisfying game while still appealing to the mainstream if we do it right. 

In order to achieve certain things, I have converted an important character I have planned into the therapist you see above :D I think it helps me build the story easier and a good tool to reveal MC backstory. I know it's super cliché but hey, maybe cliché is good sometimes. And who doesn't love a sexy therapist with cute ass glasses right? 

Let's hope it all works out! I really hope people like this update. If people play this and can't wait to find out what happens next then I've accomplished my goal. Because I'm quite confident in the payoff. The final reveal is epic. I wonder how many people can guess what it is? Let's hope we can build the momentum well enough to get there! My biggest fear is people get bored before we can reach the climax. Writing is kinda like foreplay isn't it? ;P

Alrighty, look forward to more spoilers and we will be out for testing V SOON! I also haven't done music or sound effects for many scenes. The right sounds can make or break a scene so we need time to do it right too.

Get hyped!

Much Love
