Important News
Added 2022-12-31 00:51:48 +0000 UTCHi! I have a few topics to talk about, some more important than others, but before talking about them, just a heads-up first, about changes on my patreon applied last month. (This won't affect anyone that is already supporting.)
- Pledges aren't processed on the 1st of the month anymore for new supporters or old supporters that dropped their pledge on a previous month. Now patreon only processes again on the same day.
This option wasn't available before, but thanks to patreon improving their ways, now supporters won't be charged twice anymore. Like people that pledged at end of the month.
This of course is good news for me, because it was a big issue. It was not only creating hate towards the platform itself, but also hurting the trust of new supporters. It also saves me the work of manually refunding double charges.
Now about something big, the coming "DLC", Sharks

Sandy and Salty, will be the focus of the next coming update, but it's not going to be V0.16 of Neko Paradise, instead a "DLC", and for Android users a standalone which uses the same save files.
Why a DLC now?
-The answer is simple to that, the first reason is that the game is free to public after early access, so while the game has a ton of fans already, there isn't really enough incentive for everyone to consider supporting it.
-The second and most important reason, is expenses.
As an older machine is giving it's last breath, it means I will have to buy a new one and I don't have even half of the budget for it right now.
Notice - Supporters above the "Fan" tier, will get access to the "DLC" the same way as the main game early access.
The "DLC" will also be up for sale on Itch.io when released. And will probably be priced around 5$
About the plot/content:
It features a new event where the player meets the new characters and unlocks a new interaction system.
It's system will have a slightly familiar feeling as "Kleo", where the player exchanges items for some "temporary benefit". There won't be any fixed numbers, since it's stackable, buyd from "Daisy" at the market.
About the characters:
They have a custom skin, that was fused in photoshop from various skin types, human, fish and partially reptile (texture, reflection, translucency and bump maps"
After that polished in substance painter 3D.
Fins and Tails were manually painted in substance painter 3D while directly copying the skin colors from the origin.
The characters are human and shark hybrids. They are very hungry, so they might eat you!
So, this means, that I don't plan to work on V0.16 at moment, till I finished this DLC.
It's production is expected to take January and February, as long as there aren't any delays.
