Wednesday progress report. (March 25, 2020)
Added 2020-03-25 04:40:10 +0000 UTCHey guys!
This week we already shared two spoilers and there's a potential third coming out today or worst case scenario I'd say tomorrow. You can as usual find those on Discord.
Regarding the routes, I know a lot of you like to follow http://hrpgheaven.com/viewtopic.php?f=88&t=3873 for information on the patches but remember that nothing is set in stone. For instance, there's actually two potential Clarke route endings this patch. I think everything else is right or close to it.
There's also a new extra little something something that you can do in Ayame's house and if it works out great will become a feature by 1.0.
Other than all the routes, scenes and endings we're working on, we're heavily trying to improve gameplay, old dialogues, trying to make some parts of the game more intuitive and optimizing everything since we're really close to a "final" version.
I also know that some of you want us to advance the non-patreon DLC's like shota, bestiality, hobos, slums, etc. and we've got a few money offers to accelerate the production of those routes or put them in front of other DLC's.
Guys, we can't do that! Our commitment is first and foremost with our fans in general, you guys. While the roadmap is again, not set in stone, it's a very solid guideline for us and there's a reason we picked those routes in that specific order.
Some of the content there is not allowed on Patreon so we'll have to find another platform to share it, moreover, we're semi-actively trying to get our own online server and our own website. Currently looking at options that won't rape our already limited budget.
The best thing you can do is hope we get a lot of money from Steam sales or our Patreon count goes up a lot so we can hire a bigger team. I'm dying to get a bigger team, we have so much we want to do! We'd love to release a full game every 5~6 months, we just don't have the finances to do so.
Share our game with your "friends", talk about is in social media and hentai forums, put in a good word for us, leave positive reviews in threads, help people get to know our project and that way we'll get more Patrons and we can invite more CG artists, background artists, full time music producers, scripters, we can make games faster, better and bigger! We want to do it, we don't have the resources, that's the only thing we can't do anything about, it all depends on the community.
As usual, thank you so much for your support! If you haven't yet, follow us on twitter and/or join us on discord (just be sure you link your Patreon with Discord first to have access to the Patreon only area) for quick news and more information as the patches are developed as well as getting access to the juicy spoilers every week.
Stay healthy, stay safe. Much much love!

DLC's are a mix of "Not patreon friendly" and "Not relevant to the plot". It's most of the free roam stuff that you can do in any route.

2020-03-25 16:52:56 +0000 UTCWe haven't released any yet. I'd like to make our game SOMEWHAT open source and see what the community would do with it.

2020-03-25 08:45:13 +0000 UTCI'm looking forward to replay the game v1 in full! I do hope you can be successful in steam, then it's a win-win for everyone, especially in these dark times, we all could use some more 'happy moments'. I wasn't aware about those extra DLC's, il have to check it out. Looking forward to v1! Take your time, quality can't be rushed :p. A bit off-topic, but where can I find custom DLC's? Thank you !
