Development Update #42

Hello there my gorgeous people! Today I'm here to talk about some of the changes I'm planning for the next alpha (The one that, if everything goes as planned on the fourth week of March). So let's talk changes:

What I have to do as chosen by the patrons:

1. Continue to work on Wagner's route for the 4th day OR
2. Start working on Karnal's route for the 4th day.

Since two options were chosen and it was a tie, I will decide what to do with them from now on, I'm still checking how my inspiration is for Wagner's route or Karnal's. I usually stick with only one route just to be sure I don't mess with the continuity so probably I'll continue Wagner's last two parts of the 1st act, then maybe I'll start the Act Zero for Karnal, who knows?!

And what do I have planned for the game system:

1. I'm planning to change that hideous Godot logo screen when you open the game.
2. I'm trying to get rid of the .pck file for Windows versions, this way you only need to open a .exe file without any extra files.
3. I'm trying to change Godot's icon to a personalized icon for the game (and that's being a headache).
4. I'll be adding the next part of the gallery - The Bonding Scene Gallery.
5. I'll be doing some changes to the code of the gallery, nothing much critical, just trimming some unnecessary code if possible.

And what I'll be trying to do the next month for the game's system:

1. I wanna find sound effects for the game, especially when it comes to the sex scenes. Since my game will probably have no animations on the sex scenes, I need to find at least some sound effects to support them. Also, I need some good sexy music, and frankly, as it's going I need to: Save for five or six months and pay someone to make music or find good royalty-free music for the game.

Frankly, I want the music the most for the game. But music is a complex process and I need to make a good deal with the musician before starting anything, and of course: No one works so people can share their work for free, no no, we work for money. So I need to have the money and I need to find the correct musician for the game, to work for me. And let's be real: Music, just as any other piece of media, is, not, cheap. So, it'll take a while, those two last steps, music/sound effects are at the end of my list.

Last but not least, we have the artwork with the game, and just like the music, it's a work that takes time and it's time-consuming for the artist.

But he's doing his best, and he is now working on more backgrounds since one of the milestones of this game will be having all the backgrounds done without royalty-free backgrounds After that the plan is to finish all the bonding scenes.

Speaking of bonding scenes! Another thing I will have to try to deal with, not on this next alpha, but soon, is the fact that given some... Artistic changes, the text for Wagner's third-day bonding scene will have to be re-worked.  If I remember correctly I did write Wagner putting lotion on Aiden on a chair, but that would mean they both would be on a chair made for one person making it not a good thing for the poor chair. Anyways, Wagner decided, as I always let him do, to do some changes and I'll be working around them.

I'll be putting the bonding scene as soon as it's done on the game in the correct place and changing that scene too.

But that's it for today. I took the day off today for myself because I've been working a lot nonstop, but tomorrow I'll go back on writing the character I prefer, and soon any tier 3+ patron will have access to the finalized 1st bonding scene with Wagner! It's not done yet but I think two or three more days? We'll see.

Anyway, I hope you all have a nice day, see you guys soon!
