Rogue-Like Update 02/27/2021 (Extra Crunchy)
Added 2021-02-27 13:50:39 +0000 UTCOk, I was REALLY hoping I would be able to get this thing buttoned up by the end of the month, but I won't be able to get there. In the name of maximum transparency here, I want to be clear what is done, and what needs doing:
Completely Done and in game:
-The basics of Storm's standing character sprite, clothing, expressions, hair, etc.
-A basic test version of Rogue's frontal sex pose that currently only has her default outfit, but works and is animated.
-Storm's intro scene, much of her chat menu, location-specific dialogue, and a lot of the general dialogue that comes up when interacting with her.
Mostly finished, but not yet exported and game-functional:
-Storm's "shower look" features (wet hair, water droplets, etc.), up/down clothing options, this stuff is mostly finished as PSDs, but still needs to be exported to game format.
-Most of Rogue's clothing options for this pose, which like Storm's stuff is mostly finished, but still needs exporting. I might release the first build before I'm completely done with this, since other things are more important just to get things working, but will definitely finish it before moving on to the next version.
-Storm's room visuals, which are also done as PSDs but still need to be exported.
-Most of Storm's UI graphics, fairly minor stuff, but takes at least a couple hours.
Still needs doing:
-A LOT of dialogue. I always forget how much individual dialogue is necessary even with just the sprite level. I still need to do most of the dialogue related to her fondling activities, the G/G scenes dialogue, and plenty more. There are hundreds of lines that go in at this phase. I've been crunching on this for the last week or two, but I've still got a lot to finish up.
I'm sorry I wasn't able to get this update out sooner, but I will definitely get it out as soon as it is playable, and might prioritize the less vital elements as things I can add into the following weeks as I work to bugfix.

approximate update release date?

2021-03-09 11:14:52 +0000 UTCI mentioned it before & you said you wouldn't add more pubic hair just trimmed versions. I also asked about piercings & you mentioned you could make it for tits only instead of just one. I never gave a reply or a proper one anyway I'm fine with the breasts & labia being split I'm cool with not being able to have one tit pierced.

2021-03-04 18:42:07 +0000 UTC+1 here with the positive comments. ANY update is better than none, and (I hope I can speak for the group here) we look forward to the next release! (Phrasing?)

2021-03-02 08:04:16 +0000 UTCHey man I want the next update us much as anyone else here but definitely do not feel rushed. It's the time and effort you put into this that makes it a work of love. You only have so m any hours in the day. If there is any more direct way I can help please let me know and keep up the good work.

2021-03-02 01:57:19 +0000 UTCAlucard, I've been considering something similar, although it would probably take a little while to get rolling like some of the other ideas, since you would need to get them "pretty loose" for that to work. Good for endgame, but maybe still something needed for early game. Also I expect some players wouldn't want to use that mechanic, for various reasons, and while "balance" isn't as big an issue in single player games, it is something I like to consider.
Oni
2021-03-02 00:44:21 +0000 UTCThis creates a means of utilizing money in the early game that might make more sense than jumping straight into giving girls books, sex toys, clothes right out the gate. Use the trivia you learn there to either compliment them or tie into the strip tease game/flush out discussions on dates. That would make it easier to earn relationship points since the cologne mechanic is either broken/removed. Ultimately you create an incentive to rotate between different locations. Exploring learning/training mechanics beyond a payout and finding particular girls in the middle of the day if they are suited more to taking classes with one professor over another. That being said, I do like the camera idea with Emma, sounds right up her alley and could play into a bonus pay function once you get girls to start having sessions with each other if you aren't around or participate in threesomes. Heck the sex toys and clothing could add to the value/payout of the vids.

2021-03-01 21:15:36 +0000 UTCAlternatively/additionally, you could expand on the danger room training/class learning level system and help out with the classes as part time gigs. Have it work on a leveling multiplier based on how leveled you are between those 2 areas independently. You could lower the stipend to compensate for this new mechanic. Introduce professors like Wolverine in the danger room and Beast in a class room. Allows the girls to de-clutter areas with a larger rotation of classes beyond Emma (and possibly Storm) with the possibility of learning about the girls for relationship bonus points by talking to the professors that know them the best if you bribe them with items like beer/cigars for Wolverine and books/science gear for Beast.

2021-03-01 21:15:12 +0000 UTCapart from the "install them in their rooms" part i think this sounds like a pretty cool idea
2021-03-01 18:34:16 +0000 UTCAfter seeing this comment I got an idea, but it may be a lot of work so yeah. Anyway the idea is pretty simple let Emma give you a camera when see meets you for research purposes of course. Let the player choose how too use the camera. Be upfront about it with the girls and work your way up too more sexy stuff and sell the videos with their permission. Insert another option when you find them mastrubating and film them. Then either upload the videos and earn cash or blackmail them. Buy more cameras later on and install them in their rooms with or without them knowing. Stuff like that. Like I said it is a lot but can be interesting in my opinion. What do you think, Oni?

2021-03-01 15:22:42 +0000 UTCThank you for the update info! i love the game take the time you need please dont feel to rush :) your doing great!
2021-03-01 13:08:57 +0000 UTCYeah, I guess the economy sort of ballooned out of control. :D Like people said there are some mid-game ways to boost income, but maybe I could at least give a little more of a boost at the start so that you don't have to wait until a lot of girls are maxed out.
Oni
2021-03-01 13:05:40 +0000 UTCoffer girls to classmates? =D
2021-03-01 11:07:20 +0000 UTCYou can get money relatively quickly as you get into relationships with girls, level them up, and then extort Xavier into raising your stipend. That being said, I do actually cheat at the beginning of the game every single time to give myself 5k cash.
hornguy6
2021-03-01 07:29:47 +0000 UTCI think creating another sources of income with girls help is a better option. You already can rob Xavier for 500$ with Kate's help, maybe Oni could add something like that.
2021-03-01 05:21:38 +0000 UTCIs there any way you can balance out the amount of money clothes cost in the game. with so many girl now in the game it takes months in game to buy everyones outfits

2021-02-28 15:48:53 +0000 UTCplenty of us here know you are hard at work, don't push yourself harshly, quality stuff takes time and those who have seen the game grow and expand know it is worth the wait.
philip brown
2021-02-28 14:48:35 +0000 UTCYou're killing it. Don't stress too much. It's obvious that you like making quality content, and it's a lot to get done. If it's not done by the end of the month, oh well.
Xenos
2021-02-28 11:41:40 +0000 UTCI concur.
2021-02-28 08:15:23 +0000 UTCI really hope that the update will be released very soon

Oni
2021-02-27 22:51:38 +0000 UTCWell if I can't bust into the shower to see Storm wet and dripping, then it's not even worth it! I refuse to accept a new version until you are fully finished with that! :D
hornguy6
2021-02-27 20:41:15 +0000 UTCKeep up the good work! I'm looking forward to the next playable version. But there is also no haste. Take care of yourself!
Daddy_de_Chef
2021-02-27 19:44:26 +0000 UTCtake all the time and care you need, I just start to get nervous when a long time passes without any news from you (given the situation we're all in, I don't think anyone would blame me for that).
2021-02-27 19:25:05 +0000 UTCWell there's no shame in admitting it will take a bit longer for things. Could you by chance show us what the frontal sex position for Rogue will look like or will you keep that a secret?
Jelly
2021-02-27 18:02:50 +0000 UTCAwesome. Thanks for the info! I didn't need all of the details. But, that you provided them is awesome. Thanks! Looks like some great work is being done. :)

2021-02-27 16:03:20 +0000 UTCYou are one of the MOST active people in uploading their work regularly, don't sweat it. Happy to wait!
EvilHateMonkey
2021-02-27 15:44:05 +0000 UTC"I'm sorry I wasn't able to get this update out sooner, but I will definitely get it out as soon as it is playable," Calm down, take your time. Gut Ding will Weile haben. Don't overdo the crunch, please. Better for you to take longer, rather than ending burned out. For me personally, I'm fine with this update being posted. As long as i'm kept somewhat "up to date", i don't mind if you take longer with the actual game update.

2021-02-27 15:13:26 +0000 UTCTake your time, We can always wait and the waiting is always worth it. Hehe if you want maybe make a wallpaper size pic of all the girls to make it up hahah. Just kidding take care and don’t overwork. Patience is key to everything.
