Dev Update R5 #3

Hey! This will be the last update post for this release cycle, next one should be just a confirmation on the date of release.

So onward to what’s been done since the last update post, and some details on what I’ll be working on in the remaining time.

Gym Girl Content

So the bulk of the work over the last couple weeks has of course been filling out the home based daily interactions. Quite tame, given it’s early in progression, but there’s a few opportunities for shenanigans. Actually kind of proud of how lewd it is given it’s all meant to be platonic at this stage.

It’s largely what you’d expect compared to Jen’s equivalent, general hanging out, voyeur stuff, and taking advantage of some things that weren’t available in the MC home.

While I’ve been putting this together, I’ve had to do a lot of behind the scenes code work. Getting her set up with a schedule,  UI stuff for her, the actual locations, stuff like that. I think I learned a thing or two from the first time I did this, and you’ll probably find the new character’s schedule is a little simpler and predicable. No more go here at 8:50 on friday bullshit. Just got a couple small events to finish, finish up the code and it should be good to go after testing.

I’m happy to say I’ve managed to squeeze in those story events I talked about wanting to do last time (giving both love & lewd routes a unique story event at the end of the coming content). Finished one of them yesterday, just leaving one to do which should be done soon enough. The one I already did is another long one. In fact I reckon I’ve probably done more writing for this release than any other before.

As suspected, the extra character I mentioned hasn’t received any real unique content of their own. They’re about, featuring in a couple of the events alongside the other. But I’ll look to change this in a follow up Release. How people react to both might change how much I put into either, so when you do get a chance to play, make sure your voice is heard ;)

Modelling/Porn System

So it seems I have plenty of time left to tackle this, so I’ll talk a little about what I’ve got planned. Bear in mind this is still in design stage, and won’t be final until it’s actually a thing.

I’d like to make this career a little more interactive. I won’t be touching the content that’s already available, rather once you finish it and level her up appropriately, you’ll have a chance to have more input on what she gets up at this job.

Basically just a simple system where you can go to the modelling agency and decide what scene/shoot she’ll do next. Then you’ll get your typical samples once she does the work. I would like to make a few events out of this, but I’m not sure how much I can do in the remaining time.

I would say that I might work on this in two parts, the first in this release with a small sample of content then just adding more down the line whenever possible. Of course I’ll tailor the available options to the choices you made in this career, namely porn/non porn. Though I kind of want to add a sort of in-between where she’s doing lewds/nudity without involving others.

Deadline

For a while I’ve been working on the assumption of having this out by the 10th of September. Pretty confident I can stick with this, I’ve managed to get a lot done in these weeks and quite enjoyed it.

The only thing I can think that might cause a delay is testing, introducing a whole new character moving around the world is obviously quite a lot of code work, and there’s a lot of potential for bugs/strange behaviour to slip through. I won’t lie, we should probably expect there to be a few in R5. But I’ll do my best to test thoroughly. I certainly won’t rush it out for the deadline without proper testing.

General Note about the R5 content

Just quickly I wanted to talk about the nature of the content in R5. It is quite light sexually, I’ve done my best to give you a good amount to look at, but I wouldn’t expect the same level as more recent Releases.

It’s a bit of a quirk of how I tend to focus on one character at a time. I did want to get this rolling already some time ago (to overlap with other content) and it just wasn’t possible. In retrospect seeing what I’ve done now, it was probably for the best anyway. I just hope it’s good enough to keep you all interested. There’s plenty more of the good stuff coming down the line.

Thank you all for the support, and hopefully all this will be in your hands very soon!
