Progress on 1.07

Hey guys, how are you doing?

I hope life has been treating you well and you're all healthy in our slow climb to normality.

I know you guys have been waiting for 1.07 and we know we crossed the 1 month threshold last Friday but this one is a little too big to dish out in a hurry, let me elaborate.

We are currently testing three background artists and soon, one of them will be an official member of the Heaven Studios team. Royalty free backgrounds and backgrounds improvised by me are cool and all but they have to go.

Our CG team is finishing the last few scenes and improving on some details to make the scenes look as good as possible.

Issac and I are almost done with our part in coding the story and what not, we decided to completely overhaul the hobos map as well as create the interiors for tents and what not. We also want to make the Library very useful right away and allow the players to see past tutorials in there as well as some tutorials never present in the game as well as some tips.

Scripting wise we're a little behind, we had a lot to do this patch and we're doing our best to wrap it up but it's not that simple, this is how much stuff we had to make and/or fix.

Additionally, we also want to make a few changes in our light script so stuff like this won't happen:

These are just a few examples where light doesn't work the way it's supposed to (well, right now it doesn't work at all) and we want to be able to set area codes in the game where the light can't go through as we code stuff as roofs, walls, etc.

Seeing we're now about half a year away from wrapping up Fleeting Iris we have to start fixing and rushing all the quality of life changes we can before we declare the game as finished and we move on to another project.

From the next patch forward expect a lot of drastic changes to the early game. I want to re-write and improve a lot of the dialogue early on, the monologues and the seemingly pointless conversations, maybe add a few days here and there for plot, give all the NPC's in the game entertaining and valuable dialogues as well as tips on how to unlock scenes or even references to things Ayame has done such as "I've heard there's a chick doing exhibitionism in the park at night. They say she's pretty hot too. Maybe I should check it out".

Regarding CG's, we have the "ass slap" remake for two scenes (Scott's and the customers), the "nightgown ride" with Melvin at Ayame's house early in the game, park blackmail exhibitionism with toys, Ayame being caught by a cop while doing exhibitionism sex scene, Ayame deciding to do exhibitionism on her own scene, Ayame being caught by the hobo while doing exhibitionism, the hobo blowjob scene, the hobo kissing + stripping scene, the hobo fingering and masturbation scene and the two fan made scenes. So... yeah... a lot of work for a one month patch.

That's all for now. I will keep yo guys updated as we come closer to release the patch which should be very, very soon. Promise you it will be worth it! Expect a massive wall of patch notes.

Thank you for your continued support and believing in us.

Much love! <3
