Tasks updated.
Added 2021-09-30 23:18:35 +0000 UTCI've updated the task board over on my personal website to reflect what's been accomplished and what should be coming in the update. I expect the update to be complete in mid-October.
The update will contain:
- A new sexual encounter type! Can you guess what it is? I hope it surprises you guys. I think it'll be a really good addition. The content for it is still being written, but it works mechanically, for the most part.
- Mod support will be included in the executable version. The web version will not support mods. As you can imagine modding the web version will probably be impossible, so mods will unfortunately be Windows-only. I will also release one or two small mods along with the update for patrons to try out. I don't really like the idea of treating my patrons like beta-testers, but in this case, it really is my only option. This is like a legit beta test, though, there will almost certainly be serious bugs and problems.
- New artwork! A new hand-drawn art pack will be included in the patron editions of the game starting in v0.10! This artwork will eventually come to the free edition of the game, so it won't be exclusive forever, but I don't have any timeframe on how long it will be exclusive for. I'm very excited to see what you all think of it!
- New story and anniversary content. There won't be a ton of story in this update, but there will be a bit, and there will also be an optional chunk of story content that I'm calling the "anniversary content." Basically, there will be an opportunity in the game for the characters to reflect on the past, and I think it'll be a fun little storyline. It's not a request, but it's not quite main story content either. I hope you all will like it.
- Side content in this update will include a few new requests, and then a bunch of added content and expansions to existing game content. I did a poll among $10 supporters a while ago to determine which activities to add content to. There are a lot of early activities that haven't gotten a ton of love, like maid work and the gloryhole, that will be expanded and improved.
A proper update preview with images and more context will be coming soon, hopefully next week sometime. That update will feature the release dates. As always, the patron edition will get the update about a week ahead of the free edition. Even though I missed the anniversary, I'm still gonna call this our first anniversary update, so expect to see that in the promotional art and posts regarding v0.10.
Since its still the anniversary update, I want to try to write up some Patreon posts about what it's been like developing an adult game for a year, what I've learned, what I think I got right, and what I think I did wrong. The update needs to come first though, it's been too long since I've got one out. So after the update, expect to see some posts and stuff here reflecting on the past year. If you have any burning questions or you'd like some insight into what it's like to make Succubus Stories feel free to ask and I'll try to work those into the post(s).
Anyway, thanks for reading. We'll talk more soon!
