Development Update (06.12.2023)

Hello, my fellow Fetish lovers!

Our dear Fetish-Master supporters and above have already had the opportunity to see what we did with S&M in the latest release, but I want to share with you all what we're doing in this update.

The whole team and I set a goal to bring you something every month! In the beginning of September, we released endings for Vanessa & Allison and Polly & Nora. At the end of October, we shipped Daisy and Dahlia's endings. And in the last days of November, we brought you the second update for S&M. So far our plan is working!

I also want to take a moment to explain what S&M is. A few people think that it's a big Stacy ending or a continuation of the game, but we call S&M the Standalone Sequel to the Fetish Locator Trilogy. That means it can be played right after you finish all three weeks of Fetish Locator, or you can pick it up having never played our other games. For those who have played Fetish Locator though, you'll recognize some of our beloved characters in S&M; like Stacy, AmRose, and Lyssa. There may even be a few more that join the crew along the way. There's even a few characters from Fetish Locator we only met briefly that now get their moment in the spotlight with their own stories in S&M, like Kanya who plays a big role in Release 2. And of course, a huge, new cast of great characters who make this city shine with new possibilities!

In this update, we focused on improving the freeroam nature of the game and giving players more freedom of action. As you know the first update was mostly linear; you had one quest line to work with and a single set of goals to progress the game. As we continue to develop the game, we can bring you more and more options that help bring the city, and the characters, to life!

Release 2 still isn't the final version of the game, but it is much closer to what we are hoping for. There's still only the first job to choose from in the start of the game, but we've added a new questline that starts your journey in unlocking the second job. We are planning to have 3 or 4 jobs like this in the game, and as we add these quests to S&M, you will have the choice to decide which job you want to go after first.

When I talk about a "job", I know it doesn't sound very fun, but there's more to them than just getting money for your weekly rent. Every job is a part of a Faction, and each faction has their own set of dateable characters and storyline. You can already find the first Faction Page in the game! After you unlock the IT office job at Orbix, check your phone to learn more about the characters there and see your IT Faction progress.

Now with multiple questlines, it is your choice what quest to do first and what characters to romance.

As always, me and the whole team at ViNovella Games would love to hear your feedback. With your help, we can make S&M into our best game yet! If you're looking to chat more about S&M, or any of the other ViNovella games, come join our Discord server and chat with some of your fellow Fetish lovers. We hope to see you there!

With love! Yours, Vi! <3
