10/1 Status Update

The At the Mountains of Friendship bonus poll is over and... Cynthia won! So she'll be getting a new scene in the next update. Probably one that takes place after sex scene 3. Although there is merit in having one that happens early on between her and her husband George. It was very, very close both Maya and Elizabeth were only a few votes behind. The next poll will be after the release of version 1.2

Speaking of 1.2, that update will have girl 12, Sarah for $10 patrons, a new gameplay system I'm working on, and various tweaks and improvements like the game autosaving your progress so you can stop runs midway through and come back later. That new gameplay system is looking like it's going to be "leaders" I've already implemented it and it's been pretty fun. Basically, you assign one girl as the leader of the group, and then that puts a universal ability in place. Some of these are old regular abilities repurposed like Elizabeth's ability to raise the lowest stat to be equal to the highest, or Natalia's ability to turn off enemy abilities. I actually reworked all of Natalia's abilities, she was kind of bland before. Now instead of just lowering monster attack or health, she steals it for herself.

The idea is that choosing different leaders will push you in different directions for different builds. For example, Maya's leader ability makes all girls love all pets, so you can make a build all around effects that boost based on favorite pet. Or Emma's ability that makes effects that need a girl to be alone always work no matter how many girls are fighting. Maybe you give every girl the plastic flamingo item and go at it. Of course it's all subject to change right now because it's so new, but I think it's promising.

The really big thing I want to add is progression systems, another meta loop that gives you a reason to play more games. It'll work pretty close to the ascension system I used in TF Card Battle I think. You'll get points based off how high your difficulty is, and spend those points on things. Because it's a single player game, I'm thinking increasing the power of girls you like over time would be fun. You unlock points, improve your girls, do higher difficulties with your new power, get more points, etc. This probably won't be for a little bit though. Maybe for 1.3.

I've also been writing scenes for Sarah. She's getting closer to being done and should be ready to go with the rest of the update. As far as girls she has sex scenes with, she partners with Sophia and Cynthia. Since Cynthia is today's big winner, let's look at that scene.

Seems like they're having a good time. You may have noticed that Sophia and Cynthia already pair up. For these first 10 expansion girls, I plan for all their partners to be people who already can reach 4 friendship. It makes writing the threesome scenes cleaner.

As far as Netoria goes, I've been writing a bit of the epilogues every day, but it's going fairly slowly. There's turning out to be more variations than I anticipated and it's a lot of work but I want to get these right. I should be able to get a preview build out soon though. Let's look at some more art.

The art I have to show you are still sketches, but the full versions should be done pretty soon. This is from the female Carwyn ending called conquerors. This has two versions, one where it's Carwyn and Gwen both being fucked and one where it's Carwyn and a nameless girl. And then combine that with needing to change the scene a little for which guy won over Gwen, and it adds up. And there's six epilogues I have to get through. It's going well, just taking time. 

That's all for this week. I'd like to release both the Netoria epilogue update and AtMoF 1.2 this month. I think it's possible, both of them are well underway. Also thanks to all the new patrons who have joined after the AtMoF release. I hope you're all having a great time with it! As always, thank you for your continued support.
