On To Episode 15!

Hey, everyone!

Now that we have the results from the poll, I’m back to working on Hypnosis for another update before Endowed. So what is this next update going to look like?

As I mentioned, this one should be a smaller update, or at least, that’s my goal. Halfish of the content was already made and consists of the Halloween update, but there should also be enough new content to make it worth playing through.

Several of the scenes for the rest of the update were at least halfway written, as originally I planned to include them in the previous update. I felt one day of content sounded small, so originally I wanted to add another day. But the “only one day” of Episode 14 was the longest update yet, as it turned out to be a pretty eventful day.

This update will take place over two days, the first being taking Jenn and Haley out to the haunted house, the second going out for a double date with Cory, Brittany and her friend Shelby. There will be other scenes in between, such as the MC dropping off Grace at her school and meeting up with the other girls for a chat, including the option to make Laura retract her commands to the other girls for those on the good guy path. 

There will also be talk about the upcoming costume contest, and the MC will help some of the girls take pictures with their costume like in the Halloween update. However, these scenes will mostly be different, and the costume party itself will be an event after the MC and Grace return from visiting Daphne for the weekend.

If the update starts to feel longer than planned, I’ll likely release it in two parts to avoid keeping you waiting too long. However, I plan to keep it more contained and breezy, so if I can keep it a manageable size I’ll release it as one.

I'll go over the plans for future updates in another post. A lot of it is already mentioned in the update, such as going to visit Daphne, the costume contest, and what kind of things the girls will be getting into. As of now, the main focus of the MC is getting to know his girls better and having fun with them.

As to what I’m currently working on, I’m still going back and forth between writing the new content and wrapping up the necessary steps for Episode 14 to be officially finished. I added the walkthrough for the new content which I’m pretty pleased with.

Something new for Episode 14 behind the scenes was adding a point system, mainly to track how many evil choices you make. This will determine which endings you get, as the girls will react to how you've been treating them over time.

When I was adding the walkthrough, I realized it would be a good idea to track these as well, so they are now labeled in the walkthrough guide like in this example:

Going over the walkthrough choices also showed me a lot of issues with the script and tracked choices that I’m glad I found to keep everything working right, so I'm glad I did it. There shouldn’t be anything game breaking down the road from playing the existing version of the episode, but I’ll be sure to mention it if there is. 

The in game walkthrough is also updated to include the Broken Watch Branch now, making it easier to find the ending you're looking for.

I’m also still working on Episode 10 in making a version where the MC confronts Laura and wins, as that was something I’d already started but wasn’t happy with. Originally, I was going to keep the existing scenes and only change the dialogue, but in doing so I realized I wanted to add a little extra, so there will now be skinny dipping scene in addition.

In other news, now that I'm not in crunch mode finishing the last update, I have a little time to breathe and post on here more. I have a lot of posts already written out for behind the scenes kind of stuff, but I was having trouble with what had already been posted and what hadn't.

So I went back to track it all, making notes about what I want to post going forward, including more polls. I also want to get back to random renders, comics, and stories. So expect more posts going forward, hopefully with some nice variety.

I also have a new method for tracking my progress I'll go over in the next post.

Cheers!
