Plan for Damsels 0.13

Added 2018-04-24 12:58:04 +0000 UTC

Aiming for a 2 week release cycle, as usual, so that would mean May 7 or May 8.

I'm expecting 0.13 to include some fleshing out of the Desert location, as well as the remainder of the class quests. I have a few renders I want to make small fixes to. That won't be all of it, but that will be my initial focus as I work on this update.

At one point I mentioned that I thought I'd need to break saves about once every five versions or so. The last time I did that was with 0.5, and I honestly don't anticipate it happening again. I've figured out ways to add new things in ways Ren'py doesn't balk at -- they aren't always the most elegant solution programming wise, but they work and don't break things, and that's more important.

Things that may not make it into 0.13, but are on the drawing board:

Going forward, I intend to add a functionality where you can have your girls leave your adventuring roster, but stay in your employ in other capacities -- running your Brothel, being warden of your Dungeon, perhaps instructing at the School of Perversion -- with associated benefits. I'll have some of this in place before I add any more character classes, so that there will be a place for more than 12 characters in your employ before there are more than 12 classes.

In the not-too-distant future, I will roll out the "final battle" with the Lich. Killing the Lich and getting the Blessing of Ishtar both will mean you have "won" the game, but it won't make you stop playing. Similarly, I may slap the "1.0" label on the game at that point, but that doesn't mean I'll slow down developing new content for it.
