Development Update (C) #10

Hello!

How are you guys doing? I have some news on the game development today.

So let's start!

First of all, from tomorrow on, we're on a week holiday time here on Brazil the Carnaval. This "time off" period will be good for us here at home to fix our stuff and spend more time working on our projects, just like I'll be working on the game more because of it.

Missing Stuff on the Game:

For now, there are two things I know for sure I need to add on the game:

•     The configuration menu, with audio and text-scrolling speed.
•     The Animation for Sex Scenes.

That being said, I'll keep my efforts on the Config menu first, but it will take some time!

New storylines!

That's right, at first I wanted to re-work only Karnal's route, and on 0.7 alpha version, you guys can check the first day with him.

But then, I was talking to myself and decided to make the game a little longer.

To be the truth with you guys, the current story for the game takes place in three days. But if you guys are like me, you will see that the current story doesn't have much, really. The characters don't have too much time for you to like them and to know them better. I remember when I first played Morenatsu and why I started to like the character named Kouya on that visual novel. And the reason was, the character had enough time for you to actually like him. Just like Morenatsu, my VN (Visual Novel) have only two sex scenes, and this will stay the same. But now let me talk about how the system works.

So, my game works right now with a system based on points. As long as you have enough points, you can proceed to the end game. Since I have only three days on the game, this was only used for the first and second sex scenes. 

Now this will change.

I'm planning to make the story take place on seven days instead of three, so it's impossible for me to keep copies of the last day on the next, and that's where the point system will come in handy. 

Every day after the first day will have two possibilities. If you have met or not that character. The entire day will be the same, but some sequences of dialogues can be different, for example: If you met Wagner on the first day, and then met Karnal on the second, instead of having the option to go back to the beach and have a copy run of the first day with him, you will actually stay on the same place and have the exact same day with him, with the difference that, if you don't know him yet, you will have a sequence just for that in that area. So, yeah, every day will have a "First Time" with every character, just like a "Second time" too. 

With the system of points I have on the game I can do this with ease, however, I do have to be careful with some writings, after all, I can't say Karnal and you met on the first day at X location if you just met him on the third day, you know?

That being said, you won't have to play through a week just to have some cool stuff happening, some characters are more "open" than others to do certain stuff, so there's the possibility that you can get some good slap on your butt from time to time haha.

So yeah, making the game take place on seven days will make me rework the entire second day for Wagner, and of course, Karnal, and I will have to discard what I already have for the third day too. So yeah, lots of works, so, the next updates will be with more story content for you guys to read, and that configurations menu.

Yes, I know some people don't like to read too much, and will skip a lot of the text, that's fine by me. Some people just want to read about porn, I can understand that. But I do like a good story building and I want to make this game, even if it's a small game, the best one I can do right now, and I think making the story longer and better, will give you guys more to understand about the characters and more reasons to why you want to be their friends. You know, Just a good friend, right? 

About the 0.8 version, it's impossible for me to give something new this weekend, since this week I didn't have any time. Like you guys know, I have to work on other stuff too, so, for now, I can't give myself only for this game. But I want to make it better, and to make you guys have a better story to read. 

So, I'm sorry I cannot give you guys a new alpha for now, but I'll be working a lot to make a good story for Wagner and Karnal for now.

About the suggestions of corrections:

I want you guys to remember I'll only be accepting suggestions with the current newest build of the game. So, if you try to play the 0.6 and send me stuff, even if it comes to me, it will be displayed for me your current build and I will discard your suggestion. After all, for now on (0.7+), every build will have corrected text AND new routes and text for you guys to read, so outdated versions will have their texts corrected on the newest one.

For everyone who had their suggestions send, know this: I'm reading them. Thank you all for being so helpful, and please continue sending me any corrections you guys think it will help! For every accepted correction, I'll be putting your names on the credits on a new section in order of how many accepted corrections were sent per person. So thank you again for your help!

Anyway, that's it for today. I hope you guys can forgive me and understand that your help means a lot, but as long as I don't get enough money to survive only with this project, I have to make other stuff too!

Thanks for everything, have a nice weekend!
