Development Update #1 - March 20, 2017

Added 2017-03-20 16:34:38 +0000 UTC

Hi there guys!

First Dev Update time!

So first of all, holy shit! We smashed 4 goals, and reached over $2,000 in pledges in a little more than a week! You guys are awesome! Thank you so much for the support, and the amazing comments and feedback!

Now let's get down to business!

So I've received a few questions after we reached the 3rd goal, Quitting my job. I did not expect it so fast! I was a bit scared at first, leaving a stable job. But all of you guys who pledged, put your faith in me. So the least I can do is to put my faith in you, and dive right in, so this morning, I've submitted my resignation. I still have to work at my regular job until April, but after that, I'm developing the game full-time! As a child I always wanted to make games (although at that time, not these kind of games, haha), and now I can fulfill my dream thanks to you, dear Patrons! And for that, I will forever be grateful!

I've been working on the Exclusive Image Pack of Tracy for $20+ Patrons, you will get it early next week!
The first poll for all $10+ Patrons is coming this Friday, and you will be able to vote for 2 weeks.
I've set up a Twitter account, you can follow me there as well.

About Episode 2

We've just hit the $2000 Goal, but I anticipated it, judging by the rapid growth of support over the last week, so I already set in motion my masterful plan! I've contacted a veteran programmer to help me with a few things, you'll see in Episode 2.

There will be several new things, including (a) new game mechanic(s)!

This will give more freedom to the players and a completely new element to the game! I can't just tell you what it is yet, I'd rather show you in the coming weeks with some previews. However, I can tell you, nothing grindy, or button mashing, or anything like that. I think it will fit the game perfectly and I hope you will like it!

I've been working on writing the script in the past week. It's not easy, keeping all the decision relevant and interesting, all the while developing the story, and putting in the naughty stuff, but I like a challenge, and it has been going great! In the meantime, I was also working on the images of some of the scenes that are already finalized in the script, those are only awaiting to be coded into the game. I still had to work a lot at my regular job, but I'm satisfied with the progress.

When will you release Episode 2?

As you guys are most likely aware, I'm making Episode 2 to be longer than the first. With that, and the new mechanics, it takes a longer time to finish, but I plan to release sometime in late April. It's not set in stone, but I'm doing my best. Quality is the most important for me. That is all I can say for now.

And there it is again, a wall of text... Please tell me in the comments if you prefer posts like this, where I go into detail or shorter ones.

And again, thank you guys so much for the support and great comments and messages!
