Dev Update – R5.5 Plans!

I hope you’re all enjoying the R5 content, I’ve received a few comments from people enjoying the new character, which I must say is very much appreciated!

Apologies to those of you having trouble accessing the new modelling content. Funnily enough this is an issue with an earlier version that is now rearing it’s head with the spotlight once again put onto this section of the game. I’ve fixed the main issue, available now in a patch that’s on discord or the official thread. Thanks to those who provided save files!

Release 5.5

Unlike last time, I’m very certain what I’m doing for the next release. Basically I’m doing another .5, with a focus on some characters that have been left unattended for a little too long.

I hope those of you enjoying the new character won’t be too disappointed, but there will be a bit of a wait before I continue working on them. Sorry!

Hopefully it won’t be too long. Being a .5 I’m looking to have this finished for next month, to come out around the same time R5 did. So ~5 weeks.

Mel Content

Most of R5.5 will focus on Mel. This means moving her story forward, and most importantly getting her sandbox stuff setup. So much like in R5, I’m looking to include her home and some daily actions you can get up to with her.

She is meant to be a side character of sort, so there might be a bit less home content than what I did with Lydia. A good deal of her stuff will likely be accessed at the club as well, so expect just a few at home.

I’ll share more details about this in the future dev update posts, as they become available.

Another New Character

This will likely just be an introduction. I’ve mentioned wanting to get a Mel equivalent character going on the office route before, and it’s about time to make it happen. I won’t share too much about this just yet, as I wouldn’t want to give away plans before they are actually being worked on.

This should also mean some new mechanics/expansions to the office manager job. No details yet, but hopefully it should make things a bit more interesting. To what extent these are actually in 5.5? Impossible for me to say right now. So make sure to keep an eye out for the next dev update posts ;)

Thank you all for the ongoing support!
