Strange Gift 0.1 Changelog
Added 2018-08-20 17:30:57 +0000 UTC
Saves from the demo do not work.
This isn't as complete as my usual changelog, but at least it gives you some idea.
Theme Modifications:
The girls no longer *all* have magical powers, although they will still be able to help you with yours (eventually, mostly in future patches)
There is no longer a combat system in the game.
New Content:
You can now increase your stats by working out and reading books on subjects of interest, and also as a result of successful scenes.
Main Plot:
A sequence leads to the availability of a swing club. The BDSM club is also available after you meet certain requirements.
Olivia:
Asking her for books now has renders and opens up to a more complex scene if you have the right stats.
Added 4 scenes (Library x 2, Cafe,Beach)
Hildy:
Added one scene (Home sort of)
Hildy no longer suggests that the girls you can date have magic powers.
Chloe:
Added 2 scenes (Cafe, Home)
Mia:
Added 2 scenes (Cafe,Beach)
Isabella:
Character added to the game, one small scene, and she’ll give you a tour at the end if you succeed.
Karima:
Character added to the game, no real scenes but a little hint of what might follow with her.
Emily:
You see her once during Isabella’s tour.
UI Improvements:
Characters now are highlighted when you hover over then on the cell phone.
You can now see the progress you’ve made with each major girl character on your cell phone.
You can now see your stats on your cell phone
Colors of text have been changed for readability, and in some situations a background mask has been added to make text easier to read.
Functionality Changes:
Your stats, and the girls preferences, now affect their affection/lust/submission gains from activities.
Comments
Something I advise might be adding something of the supernatural element to the romance with the girls. Make the romancing/domination into something that could only happen in the context of this game somehow.

2018-08-27 22:10:39 +0000 UTCThank you. I think those are very good points. The inclusion of some girls that *aren't* special might be useful for creating that sense too, if they could be generated procedurally. I totally agree about the Show Don't Tell.

2018-08-27 12:14:40 +0000 UTCContinued. A good play might be for you to demonstrate the fact that the particular girls the MC is looking for are ones he is drawn to by his new powerset. So when a new girl is introduced, the best thing to do is to demonstrate that he gets a sense that someone of particular intirest just showed up. Basically like a spider sense. It helps make the world feel broader then having like five people in it, and it connects the entire picking up girls stuff to the overall quest.

2018-08-24 13:25:28 +0000 UTCSo, I tried this version and so far I enjoy it. A few quick writing notes. First, the entire "You have powers" thing is a bit of in a "Show Don't Tell" rut. You're kind of just told that you're special now. I know combat was meant to be in the game and removed, but something should happen there that shows off your new state.
