Future plans + some news

Hello. Here's a picture of Lucia that I made for a scene that haven't been finished yet. Today I'd like to talk a little about my plans for v0.14, and the circumstances I have to work with now.

As some of you know, last week I had a huge problem with the technical side of Shattered, that almost killed the game. My SSD with all the Daz data crashed, and I had to ask my friend to braze a new controller onto it in order to salvage something. Thankfully, it resulted in a success, but now I gotta buy a new SATA SSD to fit all 3 Tb of my Daz library there. I hope to buy it next Monday, but until then I'm afraid to render anything. However, I'm already writing the script.

The script itself will mostly focus on wrapping up loose ends of the story. Blake is now living in a single storyline again, but there's been a lot of stuff going on recently, and we gotta have some sort of resolution for it. Here's the quick rundown for the routes: Samuel/Suya/Bree routes won't be affected much, because Samuel kinda doesn't care, Suya will love Blake regardless, and Bree didn't even notice him missing. With Liam things are going to get complicated (by running away to the slums Blake sort of attracted Dominique's attention to their relationship). With Iris the most important things are stuff Blake has done in the slums in order to help them both (she'll appreciate Blake's efforts), and with Melinda/Vanessa it's gonna work like this: the earlier Blake escaped the slums, the better for Melinda. For Vanessa it's the other way around. Also, Blake should blame Iris in front of Melinda, but defend her in front of Vanessa. Sort of. It's gonna be more complicated, of course.

But once you're through this ordeal, you'll get back to Blake's comfort zone, and it's gonna get even comfier. People missed him. More interactions, more parties, more events for everyone. Zoey's promised photoshoot is coming, dr. Lowe, and his wife are extremely curious about Blake's adventures, Iris needs some attention regardless if she's with Blake or not… you better prepare to get busy. Oh, and Rebecca, and Jamal have a small (actually, it's huge, but you'll see soon) gift for Blake. Something to look forward to.

One thing I'm not sure about yet, but I REALLY want to put into v0.14 is Blake marriage to Samuel, and their honeymoon together. It's gonna be separated from the rest of the game akin to slums segment, and I'm not into the idea of making another fork for the story. Perhaps Samuel could take Blake that is not on his route to some beach resort just because? What do you think?

Anyway, there's gonna be more information next week, but for now I hope you're enjoying the new update, and have a nice day! Thanks!
