Dev Update – Release 6 Plans

Hope you all enjoyed the little 5.5 release. We had a few launch problems which I can only apologize for. I would like to draw attention to a small patch I put out a few days ago which remastered all the background overlays. Not only does it generally look better, but more importantly it seems to run a lot smoother. So those of you who may have experienced performance issues, give the patch a go and let me know how it is. Details on the discord download channel.

I’ll dedicate this post to giving a general outline of what I’m hoping to get done in R6. But first I do have to mention that with the holidays coming up, irl circumstances are going to affect development. I’ll save the details for the next post, so this one doesn’t become too long. But the TLDR of it is I’m planning on making R6’s development a bit longer than usual, with more content to match. Works out pretty well on the whole for R6, as I have a lot to get done for it. I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up being the biggest one yet.

Content Outline

The main focus will return to Lydia and those around her. Jen will hopefully be making a few special appearances but I’m keeping that secret for now ;)

Party Content

First major content set will be parties at Krissy’s place (Lydia’s friend). This will be a weekly thing, where you’ll hopefully be presented with a lot of options to pursue. Relating to Lydia, Krissy, and possibly even some random girls. It’s going to be a bit different to what we’re used to so far.

I’ve already started work on this, and it’s largely a case of how much I can do in the time allowed. I would like to have some mechanics that you can manipulate in order to unlock scenes etc, but I’m first of all focusing on actually getting the content done. I’ll jazz it up once I’ve got a good base, and again as time allows, sharing the details in future posts.

Lydia Jobs

Ideally I’m looking to get 3 job options done. Two are the obvious club and office jobs, much as Jen has available. But Lydia will also (hopefully) have her own unique side job where you help her become a personal trainer.

Not sure how big the third option will be, like I said it’ll be more of a side thing that can present some interesting opportunities. I will however be focusing first on getting two of these paths done, and the third if time allows.

Christine

Some optional side content that is just another way to increase Lydia’s progression, or to simply have some fun with Christine herself. Likely to take the form of doing favours for Christine and exchanging that debt.

New Stage Content

And of course the usual story and daily interaction stuff. With a little more freedom around Lydia’s home. I suspect some of the existing options will be replaced with newer stage appropriate content (after you level her up) and others will simply be built upon. So a bit of a mix of how it’ll appear.

Conclusion

So as you can see, quite a bit to get done. Like I mentioned, I’ll talk about how I’m fitting this release into the holidays in the next update post. Overall I wouldn’t worry about it too much, it’ll likely just disrupt the usual schedule somewhat.

Hopefully I’ll have a few previews of all this as it’s completed. Thank you all again for the support!
