Here's Gillian…

…And she's actually texting me. Asking if she'll be back in Deliverance. I'm still thinking.

Anyway, time to talk a bit about the direction of v0.16. I'll try to avoid spoilers, but still give away some intriguing details. Well… «intriguing». I hope they are.

Let's start with the premise, shall we? The new act will begin with Blake either arriving in Deliverance (on Samuel, Vanessa or Liam's route) or staying at the city. If Blake does move, he will spend most of the demo (and the entire update, to be honest) meeting with the other Deliverance citizens (both old, and new in the story), and just getting to know the city. It's still not entirely finished, so no clubs or anything like that. Yet. Also, Lucia broke up with her boyfriend again, so if your Blake is in open relationship, keep that in mind. This time you won't need to be 100% dominant to undress her, because she's even more… steamy than before. Something about the air in Deliverance arouses her. Plus, as I said before, Blake will get some interesting neighbours, will go through a pretty intense (but optional) medical check-up, and might get into a new route in which the key word would be «misconception». Ever thought that Blake looks a lot like your ex, mm? Even if he's not.

If Blake stays in the city, his list of people he can hang out with will shrink, but that doesn't mean there won't be anything to do. However, at some point Melinda will bring him, and Suya to the villa permanently. Fuel, and other resources are running low. Not low enough to force Blake, and his friends struggle to survive, but still. The question is, how am I going to bring this Blake (and, more importantly, Melinda) to Deliverance. I bet those of you who paid attention to v0.15 dialogues already see what's brewing. With fewer characters for me to pick from, we'll be seeing people like Tanya or Josiah a lot more. Which, I think, is good. Another important point is the conclusion of the anonymous admirer's storyline. Well… conclusion in some cases, and development in the others. You'll see. Also, since Dominique is in Deliverance, she will have to control her slaves remotely with some amusing (for her) results, so be prepared if you let her put Blake or Gillian under her heel. And since we're on that kind of page, Pepper will move to Deliverance around halfway through this update, so if your Blake has some unfinished business with her, make sure you'll get to it. Of course, they will see each other again anyway, but they don't know that yet.

That's about it. Vague, yes, but the best stuff comes to my head when I'm in the process. As of right now I'm only finishing the first day in Deliverance. A bit of a secret: when I was working on the v0.13 update, I was writing days in a parallel sequence. First day in the slums, then first day in the city, then second day in the slums, and so on. I'm gonna use the same system for v0.16 as well. Thing is, I'm not sure if that's the best method, it's just the most convenient one (so that I won't end up with one half significantly bigger than the other. Those are halves, after all), so tell me if you feel like there's some weird tonal disharmony going on.

Oh, and I already mentioned that in Discord, but I was able to restore the last broken morphs that corrupted my models, so it's all good now. Not that it has anything to do with the story, but we're now entirely back on track.

So… that's it. Thank you reading, thank you for supporting me, and have a nice day! I'm gonna talk a bit more about the progress tomorrow, but for now — bye!
