Why Future Updates Will Have Much Better Story Than 0.9
Added 2021-05-02 06:25:19 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
We've gotten a lot of feedback for 0.9 and while the release was relatively smooth and the renders were great, the story was just... lacking. It felt like a filler update and there's multiple reasons why.
The biggest reason is that I personally had very little to do with creating the story of 0.9. Managing a team of so many people is so much work and I honestly thought that if I give up the crazy amount of hours that creating the plot can take and have a team of people work on it without me, I would be able to help the game more elsewhere. I was wrong.
We had multiple different teams work on the 0.9 plot, the overview of what was actually going on was lost and the things that make College Kings what it is were forgotten in the process.
The team who worked on plot are really talented people, but how are they supposed to know the ins and outs of the game that I've been building for the last 8 months, mostly by myself?
I'm sorry I made this mistake. I'm sorry I caused you guys to experience a story that was underwhelming and didn't have the CK spirit. And I will do whatever it takes to make sure that doesn't happen.
For 0.10 (Act 2) I was fully involved in the plot development. It may have taken some all nighters, but we now have a plot outline (a flowchart with all the different storybeats) that we're really fucking proud of. There's going to be lots of sex in exciting places. There's going to be lots of impactful decisions. There's going to be fucking MUD WRESTLING from hot girls. I mean come on guys, we're bring back the College Kings that you know and love, with all the improved art, without any major bugs and with fantastic music, made only for CK.
And hey, we're working on a launcher for quicker and simpler downloads, a voiced over sex scene demo so we're ready once we hit the goal and so much more stuff.
We make mistakes, well in this, I make mistakes. But we're coming back and we're coming back better than ever. I personally read every single feedback form entry. I will make sure that your problems get addressed. This includes the short length of some of the updates, we're trying to figure out how to increase gameplay time without losing quality or update frequency, granted that's a bigger challenge, but we'll get it done.
I thank all of you for bearing with us, for bearing with me, in particular. Even when we make mistakes. Your support is what makes the game possible.
We will do everything we can to get the next update to you in May and I will personally do everything in my power to make sure it's an absolute beast of an update.
Thank you.
Steve

Not to be a bother but wouldn't changing MC affect the entire system of slides? If there's a work around, customization wouldn't be too far off.
2021-06-03 06:35:49 +0000 UTCOne request dev please please please change the MC looks he looks like a loser and malnutritioned... No offense love ur work but only this one thing bugs me that side characters look far better than Mc. Thanks

2021-05-05 06:18:44 +0000 UTCover i think it was great, the story wasnt super over the top or indebt like other releases but the heart was still there. Honestly dont blame yourself its your creation not the fans were here to enjoy it. its def nice you take in feed back but dont let their feed back control your ''baby'' or make it feel like youve done a horrible job. because some people might post something not so nice. Your learning its a learning curve let alone all the new help that are trying to see your view after a few versions theyll all know whats going on long as your relaying stuff. Overall Your doing Great along with your staff keep up the great work. only thing i can add to whats not there is maybe a bit more fun with the non main ladys maybe friends of them or random girls for filler at a party or something in that lines. Not needed at all ofc, since the main girls are wonderful was just a thought. Anyways wish you and your crew the best!

2021-05-03 22:11:51 +0000 UTCMaybe compared to the earlier release, the additional story was a little short in 0.9... But I wouldn't call it filler. The only thing that stuck out to me was how long the car trip to the lake took to get through. But if some shenanigans were to happen on that car trip...
2021-05-03 21:02:52 +0000 UTCAs long as there's more Lauren, I'm here for the long haul. Keep up the good work!
2021-05-03 09:49:53 +0000 UTCHahah it's definitely a wild ride, thanks for being so understanding!

2021-05-03 06:54:59 +0000 UTCtrust me I understand... in my job, I have to manage over 50 people and back when we were in the office ii was a challenge... this last year not being able to work in person together as a team has been a nightmare especially bringing in brand new people and having to train them just over the internet ... so, yea.. I completely understand what you are going through and like we have, I know you will over come it and kick major ass :)
2021-05-02 18:10:36 +0000 UTCThank you for that update hell we all make mistakes and it takes a person of quality to own up to it and move forward. I am new to this game but its got me hooked you and your team should be proud. I also joined patreon to help a little.

2021-05-02 13:32:23 +0000 UTCIn general I love story so far I must say and as soon as a new update was released I was rather quick at downloading it and going through it. I chose to focus on Penelope in the game in general as she seems to be interesting, however, in the latest update(s) it seems like she was suddenly just gone so I'm unsure if there was a lack of content with her in the latest update or if my story somehow got changed without my knowledge nor wish for it.
