TH2's Future update talk #2 (+ 600Yens update)

Hello everyone,

First of all, I apologize: It's been two weeks since the last update should've been made available for $5 tier patrons and I COMPLETELY forgot to change it D: Don't hesitate to warn me if you see I'm taking time, I'm on a slippery slide when it comes to memory and that stuff can happen once more in the future -_-

Both the original post and the 0.25.1 patch have been made available. But if you download the game from the original post, don't worry, it already contains the 0.25.1 patch.

Now that's done, let's move to the real thing.

As I said last time, I'm going to make two posts. One focused on the game content and the next one for the brothel only. So let's talk about the upcoming update.

For the moment, I've been focusing on working on the brothel (because there's still a lot to do there), making renders for the v0.29 (because there's going to be quite a bunch of them) and trying to complete stuff from my famous list of "things to do".

Among the small things I've tweaked some might be music to the ears of some of you. For example, I've changed the night music. It's now only 2 seconds-long making day switching much faster if you're planning on farming the brothel by chaining nights. During the scene with Kaya leaving the village in Bike, I've also redone the CG as I was never satisfied with it (you can make a wheelie long enough to say "Fuck you" but not for a whole conversation so I've made something more logical.) Then there are other small things that are mainly QoL improvements: Frank's bar lowered so that the mini-map doesn't hide it anymore, Kaya declining right away if trying to make a second sport session rather than declining after making a choice, or even one extra head for Paige et Sasha (Paige's expressions having been remade) and them being implemented at the right moments during conversations.

Among other things, I'm also extremely unsatisfied by many elements that should be rewarding in the game but aren't visually. So I've also started working towards that. I've spent some time working on ID Cards-looking that will appear when a girl gets hired. This is how it looks.

Basically instead of just having the text saying "XXX has been hired" you'll have the little animation of the card showing up and then being stamped. I found that much more rewarding than just the little jingle and the text in the box. It's more or less a callback to the passports that were used in the previous version of the brothel. We liked it but since we couldn't keep it because of the new visuals, I thought it would be interesting to insert something similar. Also, this way you'll learn the height and birthday date of each girl :p

Considering the time spent on those, I've also created them for girls to slutify. When a girl gets slutified, she'll also have that card (though it's slightly different as it's not titled "official prostitute" and the stamp doesn't say "hired" but "slut"), but the overall idea is the same. I hope you'll enjoy them :)

Among the other things to change I've worked on the title screen. I have NEVER been satisfied by a TH-TH2 title screen. Except maybe the very first one of TH2. It reaches a point where I need a level I don't have to be satisfied. So instead of trying to come up with a full 3D title screen that doesn't satify me, I thought I'd just play it like most 2D hentai games and go with a simple background + the heroine.

To be totally honest, I even considered making her just a flat color (black) so it's only her shape. It's not awesome, I'm aware of it, but what I like is that it's not temporally locked. Like, for example, the current title screen in front of the brothel is nice and all, but it's been a while since the brothel is a thing in the game, so the more the time passes, the less relevant it becomes. At least with just Kaya and her bike, no matter what happens in the game, it will always be accurate. Don't be afraid, though, like it's currently the case, her outfit will change randomly based on what you've unlocked in the game (I'll also see with Hime if it's not possible to integrate non-dungeon outfits like the slut outfit or the nurse outfit.)

I don't know if you saw it but the logo has also completely been remade. You might not see the change so I'll reupload the old one so you can make the comparison.

With such a neutral look, I prefer the new version. The font is better (it's actually the one used in Tutorials) and the height/width of letters is also more harmonious. Overall it's not a huge change but I thought I'd meniton it too.

Now, in terms of pure content for this update, there should be two quests that are more or less related. One will see the arrival of a new character and will serve as a conclusion to the quest about Frank's past (at least for now ;). And the other one will lead to the hiring of a new girl in the brothel.

That's all. Because the rest of the content is the stuff I've mentionned above (QoL), a few more H content (mainly in Lost Town), and a new girl to slutify.

Because of personal reasons I won't be able to work for several days this week, so while I've said I wanted to make updates roughly one month long (You have to look starting from the patch of SoV2, not the release of v0.25 :p), I'll probably take an extra week to be able to fit everything, but nothing more. So you can expect a release around the first week of April.

That's all for today. Next time I'll show you the different improvements we've made for the brothel.

See ya o/
