09/27 Progress Report
Added 2025-09-27 14:10:02 +0000 UTCThe latest build features a shop update for Chapter 2, including a new CG scene. This shop update introduces a new system that will be integrated into other features later on, providing a use for excess currency in late-game playthroughs.
Shop Updates
The shop upgrades for Chapter 2 have been completed. After completing Chapter 2, players will find a new button added to the shop interface—located on the Xeno's breasts. Pressing this button will allow you to access the Mutation 'Gacha', or roulette, and spin for rewards.
The Roulette System
This system is straightforward: you pay 200 DNA points to spin the roulette. It starts slow, then gradually speeds up over five seconds. After this warmup, you can press the button again to stop the roulette and claim your reward. While the system is simple, I designed it so skilled players can actively stop it to choose their rewards. This same system will be used in the punishment roulette that will be added with the Insectoid/Kate's Wrath update. Of course, the speed of the roulette will be adjusted if players find it too fast or slow.
The New CG
As you can see from the first picture, a new, high-quality CG scene has been added to the game, leveraging the high-resolution artwork of the original shop interface. While it is detailed and high-resolution, I may change the style of future CG scenes, as this artwork took longer than usual to complete and has limited dynamic animation potential. I'll be creating a poll about the styles of future artwork, just in case.
Poll Results
It looks like my patrons are equally interested in both CG and technical content updates. I will continue to balance the ratio of these content types in future updates.
This week's updates will be added shortly. A new poll has been updated, asking for your preferences on the art style of future CG scenes.
