Development Diary #53

Well, well. Here we are. Development diary before the release of the first alpha of a new game. Today we'll try to dispel some more doubts that some of you could have about this project.

Firstly, the development of the alpha is very advanced. We've finished all the art stuff and right now we're building,adjusting, testing and improving minor stuff. So, from now on we won't make any more posts until the release of the alpha. How long is this? Usually from these diaries until the release of a Space Paws update we needed around 2 weeks. This time we expect we'll need a bit more because this is not an update. It's something new created from zero. So we expect it could need a bit more time as there'll be more bugs and  all that stuff.

About the alpha:  it will consist in the Prologue part1 of Shuggerlain. Basically, meet the main characters, the battle mechanics, the plot and the H-scenes.

After this alpha, we'll build Prologue part2 (more plot, more characters, maybe meet the easter egg system,  and more H-scenes), and after that, in the 3rd update you will be able to start properly the game. You will be able to manage some resources, reinforce and expand squads, you'll be able to decide in a worldmap which nation you'll attack...but well, as it will be the 3th update, you won't have so much room to decide so many things ^^' but well, that's the general idea, with every update you'll have more and more freedom in your choices, like Space Paws and the 4 planets.

From that 3rd update on, where the actual game starts, there'll be a small point and click part,  basically in your camp. You'll be able to visit other tends, chat and improve relationship with the girls, and you'll be able to check the sorroundings of the camp where sometime there'll be special events.
Sadly this means that these first 2 updates are more text-combat-sex based, and you won't have the "freedom" you had in Space Paws to explore on your own yet. But believe us when we say this is necessary and that it will be totally worth it :)

As we said,  in this update there won't be any furry girl T_T but this was also necessary as we needed to spend time on the main plot of the game and Dynae. There will be more main furry girls than in Space Paws, so don't worry. They'll come. And soon ;)

About the H-scenes, in this update there's the equivalent to 2 Space Paws H-scenes, but we put them together in a 1 Dyane H-scene.
If we wanted to add more, we'd need to advance more in the story, and I think this prologue is more than enough for a first contact. Plus, we needed to focus in the base of the game instead of the H-scenes, at least in this first alpha.
We expect we could add 3-4 H-scenes in the Prologue part 2 and keep at least that number for the rest of the updates.

We need to say that for this game we're investing more resources than in Space Paws. So if things look better, it's because we've improved, of course but also because your support makes it possible :)
Of course take into account that the last thing you played from us was a finished game, and soon you'll play the first alpha of Shuggerlain. So keep in mind that the final game should be like that but with all multiplied: way more girls,  way more battles with more features and options, more H-scenes, more characters,more plot and branches...and the new easter egg system that we think it will be quite enjoyable and it will complement all you've seen so far.

Ok, there's no much more to say. If you have doubts, suggestions, we'd love to hear them.

P.S: And again, fan art of our friend Plague Storm.: Amber <3

Take care guys!
