Progress Report #10

  Progress Report #10 is here! PR topics are public and inform about the game development stages, achievements and improvements.

Guys and girls, I'm sure most of you have already got tanned under the hot summer sun of 2018! And damn, this summer is hot indeed! :) It can be even hotter if you're playing "House of Maids" with  sexy babes in cool outfits on every corner! :D 

All right, let's dive into the development report. 

PR #10 was scheduled to arrive last weekend actually, but then a new game engine came out and things went south from there. The new update was promoted by engine developers as stable and filled with new bug fixes and some lovely new features. It was a mandatory update (can't avoid its installation, unlike BETA client) via Steam, and what started as a new fun experience turned into a week of struggle and confusion, with basic things, like CG gallery and animation loops messing up or text/sound/music sliders not working, etc. However, devs were ready and willing to respond to my requests on Discord, and most crucial problems have been addressed and solved. Some minor things are still awaiting another patch from engine devs, but they're not all that game breaking, so v0.0.4 is coming next week no matter what! :D

 v0.0.4 introduces sexy and sporty Irina, whom you'll meet on the island if you choose to return to the beach at a certain point in the game. By the way, big kudos to all of you, guys, who voted for her name during the voting poll! ;) Irina has her own independent story episode and even an alternative ending (!). Yes, you can finish the game with this chick by your side. Or you may choose something else, and as usual, your choice will have its consequences later in the game. :) 

Early Access client v0.0.4 is scheduled to be presented to Producers on August 22-23. And later on, around August 27-28 the client will make its way to Developers and Gamers. Right after v0.0.4 launch, v0.0.3B will become available to Supporters and Senior Supporters to enjoy as well. 

Multiple art rewards for all tiers will be distributed the next day v0.0.4 becomes available for playing.  Special note for Producers: final version of the Ponygirl character for v0.0.5/6 will be presented to you tomorrow, on August 20. The pet looks awesome! :) 

And one funny news: Sofia, our sexy blond maid that many of you like, will become an NPC character in an adult racing game, called "Shady Lewd Kart". According to Shady, the leader of the creative team, "Its Mario Kart meets dating sim where you get to fuck the pit girls. We have a number of guest  characters as racers and pit crew as well as a few tracks... We are after one of your maids to be one of the girls in the mission mode. She would be made into a 3D model... We are thinking about putting a lewd pic of the the girl you help out on the mission." 

So here you go, our girls are already getting fame and appreciation from other game developers and fans! :D I've given my blessing and Sofia's sprite for 3D modelling, can't wait to see her new version. By the way, Shady is a nice guy who's really into adult gaming, and he makes funny game reviews on Youtube,  so check out his channel for ecchi luls and such: Shady Corner 

And that's where Progress Report #10 comes to its conclusion. Thanks for reading it, hope you've learned some cool stuff and will continue to show your love, passion and support for "House of Maids", your assistance means a lot to me! Get ready to play new update v0.0.4 and stay tuned! :)
