Dev Update – R9 Progress #2

Hey everyone. Back again with an update on the progress with R9. Things are proceeding smoothly despite the early disruption. Here’s what what I’ve been working on for the last couple weeks.

Lydia Modelling + Stage Intros

I’ve got Lydia’s content fully implemented and working. As I expected I ended up letting the modelling content progress on a daily basis. Catching up with her about it is as simple as chatting in her room when she’s hanging out there. Should be a lot smoother to get through than the Jen shoots, and be a bit easier to fit around other activities you may be doing. I’ll be putting a couple teaser screenshots up on discord with this post, so check them out if you are interested.

I also wanted to mention the stage intros again. I ended up making them a bit spicier than usual to make up for R9 being a bit on the smaller side. There’s also a choice to be made, with implications for the future, though the system isn’t going to be implemented yet. Should serve as a nice teaser for those of you who were asking for this kind of thing (I won’t give it away here!).

Fiona Content

This is what I’m currently working on. If you played the Atonia stage introduced in the last release, then what’s coming should seem familiar. I’m going to be implementing the sandbox content with some mechanics similar to hers, and have them tie in to unlocking a mid stage objective of sort.

I’ve already finished the event for this mid stage objective. In practice it’s more or less a story event, with a small love or lewd ending involving Jen. You’ll be discovering what Fiona is up to, something that’ll be a major system for her going forward into subsequent content stages (though I’ll make it optional).

It’s not final yet, but the sandbox events will be what grants access to this event. I’m thinking that similar to Atonia, you’ll have to manage a stat with some careful selection of home events to hit a sweet spot. This also means the events will be laid out in a similar selection style.

All of this may not come together until near the end of development. So expect   nothing to be final until near release.

And of course at the end of the stage will be some story events, and same with intros to start it all off. The later I’ve almost finished already.

High Tier Poll Results

Thanks to everyone who voted! Jen Office NTR was the runaway winner. So this will be included in R9 as some bonus content.

Looking Forward

I’m hoping to have R9 finished and out in the usual time frame of next month. However I did want to preemptively give a word of warning that I may have to take a few extra days to get everything finished. A couple weeks from now another dev update will be due, and I’ll likely be able to make a much more accurate judgement on this. Just know I’m doing my best to get this done in time for the usual release window :)

Thank you all for the continued support! I’ll be back in a couple weeks to let you know how things are going.
