February in Review

Hey all, it's time for another month, and more endings! Although before I start, as usual, the latest free release is now up on the blog with v0.49.1! 

I had originally planned on having one Bad End for the game, but with feedback from last month's poll I'll be adding in a second - one for if the player waffles on which endgame strategy they wish to go with, and another if they fail the Climax Mission. As you might expect, getting a Bad End means you'll have to reload or restart, and won't be able to enjoy the epilogues. Getting these in will be my main priority for the first release of the month. Once the endings are all in I'll set to finalizing the game progression - setting costs on the final Director scenes, and making them one-time only opportunities - but that part may not come around until later in the month.

Once the endings are complete, it's time for the epilogues! I had been planning on starting with the Director and Department epilogues and getting them out of the way early, as my plan for them is to do relatively short summaries only. However, it has occurred to me that it's been quite a while since the last real sex scene was added to the game, so I've decided to toss in one Specialist epilogue first before we get to that. And according to an earlier poll, that lucky Specialist will be...Princess the Roth Noblewoman! So you can expect to see at least one Specialist scene this month, and at least some number of Director and Department mini-scenes.

Artwise we still currently have three citizen encounter CGs in progress, after which I'll be having the artists do up some scenes to go along with the main ending branches (we already have a shot for the Bad End, just waiting to go in). After those items are checked off my plan is to keep the artists busy up until the game gets close to being content-complete, so there may be a chance to follow up with more citizen or Specialist CGs after that, I'll keep you informed as time goes on.

In summary:

February Accomplishments:

• 1 new special Mission
• 2 Endgame sequences
• Introduction improvements
• 1 CG set with 9 variants, from artist Suki!

March Forecast:

• 2 Bad Ends
• 1 Specialist Epilogue
• Director & Department Epilogues
• More Citizen Encounter CGs

That's about all I have for tonight, so I'll see you in about two weeks with some Bad Ends!
