Number of sprites - 60
Number of CG - 89

What do we do now?
TRANSLATION:
Most of the work is now lying in our English adaptator - an adaptation of more than 95,000 characters of text from more than 15,000 words. Once we get the English version of the text, we will only have to replace it, and the English version will be ready.
But adaptation - not the only thing we are currently working at.
PROGRAMMING:
At the moment, our programmer working on a gallery where you can view all your open CG and get a bonus with some versions of the CG, which are not in the game. Perhaps you've seen a "long" version of a video documenting the creation process. If the long version is too long, you can look a short version here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XyrO0V1lt8 .
In addition, he is working on a new mini-games, details of which are yet hidden, as it can become a kind of spoiler. So far, we can only say that the new mini game will bring variety to the gameplay.
PLOT:
In future versions, you will open the third chapter. As mentioned earlier, it is more than 15,000 words and 95,000 characters. In addition, you will meet new characters and have an opportunity to look at the old heroes from the other side.
Unfortunately, our screenwriter, and our programmer - it is the same person, so that work simultaneously on the script and the program part will not work. In addition, the scenario is now in the stage of «Content Lock», and will be there before the release of the English version 0.03.1.XE.
However, if we talk about the future scenario, the next operation will be carried out over the storylines of two characters in the third chapter. It will Jace and Lin - you can learn about them a lot more and look to where not able to look themselves.
ART:
At the moment, we are working on the interface art. It's a different kind of menu and content for future mini-games.
If we talk about the upcoming release 0.03.1.XE, then there will be 2 new CG scenes that include 69 images, a mini game with hacking, consisting of 13 images and more than 25 new sprites.
If we talk about what will happen after the release of the English version, in the immediate plans include new CG and backgrounds. In addition, some background will be corrected, and some - completely redesigned. There also will be new versions of sprites.
Also in the new year, we should expect changes on the PATREON. We decided to correct GOALS. This will more clearly display the current plans and those aspects of the game, which you can affect, if subscribe to our page on Patreon.
- $ 20: A detailed report on the work done in the past month. It will be similar to this post, but for each section there will be more concrete.
- $ 75: We introduce a new character. This is a lovely lady cop. We have already prepared an idea of how it will fit into the existing world. It will learn a lot about the city, and possibly save your ass in a difficult situation. You can meet her as early as the fourth chapter! (V. 0.04.X.X)
- $ 115: We introduce a complete CG-scene with the lady cop. You will be able to drag her into the bed (or, perhaps, she dragged you), and our artist will provide an unforgettable CG-art. In addition, it will allow us to add a few minor characters in the game. We may even spend a lottery among our Patrons, for the right to become them.
- $ 150: The number of scenes with Lady Cop will increase up to two. Or even up to three. We will add a private, full-storyline with her, which will include individual ending.
- $ 200: We will add a harem ending, comprising two characters, and will hold a vote on the subject of what characters it will.
- $ 500: We will add another storyline with one more (but yet unnamed) character. It will include 3 CG scenes and an individual ending. In addition, our screenwriter (he is also a programmer) can quit from his current work and develop the game non-stop. This will greatly speed up the game production process, the amount of text materials and their quality.
In addition, we have reworked some REWARDS.
- $ 1: Our gratitude for supporting our project! Every contribution counts! We will also mention you in the credits (send us a message if you do not want it)
- $ 5: Access to the «work in process» materials (WIP). We will also mention you in the credits (send us a message if you do not want it)
- $ 10: Early access to beta releases. Beta releases of alpha releases ... Well… He-he... We will try to spread early releases here. They mostly will not be in English, but they get new features and art. Those builds intended for beta testers. We will also try to provide monthly backgrounds and CG in original resolution (3840x2160). We will also mention you in the credits (send us a message if you do not want it)
