DLC Discussion and Update 12 Roadmap

Hey everybody! Update 11 has been out for patrons for a week now. Hope you are all enjoying it. I'm still getting everything prepped for it to go up on Steam, but I've also begun working on Update 12 and wanted to talk to you a bit about that and about more DLC that I'm releasing. 

DLC Discussion

Let's talk about DLC first, since it releases first. I was pretty happy with how well Mari's clothing DLC did on Steam. I wasn't sure about it, because the DLC is not much. Just some extra choices of outfits, you know? But I priced it low, at $2.99 and people seemed happy to buy it to support the game. 

So I'm going to continue releasing DLC like that - different outfits for the girls. Some of them will be a little sexier than their normal outfits, a little more wild, or maybe just a little different. They're all going to be completely different outfits, not just a color swap or anything. 

The next DLC that I'm releasing will be Jamie's Clothing DLC. She is going to have 4 new clothing outfits for her dates - one for the park, the movie theater, Jackson Burger, and The Grotto. 

Since Jamie likes to play during her dates, that meant a little more work for this DLC than Mari's. The sex animations had to be redone in her new outfits as well. And going forward, any new sex animations I add during dates will have to be done twice, with her different outfits. It creates a little more work, but I think it's worth it. I really like how the outfits turned out and how everything looks. 

I am completely done with making all the content for this DLC already, but I decided to hold off on releasing it for a couple of different reasons. Firstly, releasing things on Steam is not easy and pretty stressful. Everything has to be uploaded and tested and you have to have all the different promotional images correct and you have to use Steam's archaic uploading system (which still uses a command line interface). It's kind of a pain. Releasing the update and the DLC at the same time is just too much for me to do - spreading that out a little helps my sanity some. Plus, I feel like maybe releasing it a month after the update gives everybody a little something like an appetizer to keep them interested until the next update is released. We'll see how it goes. 

So Jamie's Clothing DLC will release May 1st here on Patreon and on Steam. Right now, it contains 4 new animations and 95 new images. It will be $2.99 on Steam and free for all patrons here. It'll work just like Mari's DLC, where you'll just need to download it separately and copy the files over into the game files.

And that's pretty much it. Let me know if you have any questions about the DLC or if there's something I didn't cover. I plan on continuing these DLC's for different characters in the future as well, so if your favorite character hasn't gotten one yet, just wait.

Update 12

Okay, now let's talk about Update 12. It feels like every update just keeps getting bigger and bigger. I keep trying to scale down, but somehow the updates get bigger anyway. Update 12 is the biggest one so far.

Right now, it contains major scenes for Lisa, Mari, Juliana, Adrian, Ms. Welch, Mrs. Mills, Brandi, Reba, Jez, and Mi-Cha. Lisa's scene here, length-wise, I think is the biggest scene I've ever done in the game. Fans of any of these characters I think are going to be very happy. 

There's going to be (at least) 5 new dates. A new date location for Juliana, Jez, and Whitney, then a couple other characters who you have not been able to date previously, you will finally get to go on dates with. 

There are currently 18 planned repeatable sex scenes - Suzy, Dana, Jamie, Tammy, Juliana, Izzy, Kendra, Adrian, Gertrude, Mrs. McGee, Whitney, and Bai all get new options there.

There will be 20 new conversations spread throughout the characters, but mostly focused on those who are getting new dates this update.

There's also a couple other new things I'm going to keep as a complete surprise, but you're going to love them. 

Right now, I'm estimating there to be 425 new images and 45 new animations in the update. Some of that may get trimmed back as we go. 45 animations is a lot. Update 11, which has been the most animations I've done so far, was only 33. 

Right now I'm estimating the release to be sometime towards the end of June, but I've barely gotten started on it right now, so I can't make any promises there. I'll get it done as quickly as I can and you all know I'll keep you updated every week on the progress. Right now, I've done a lot of the writing for the update, but I have only barely touched the rendering. Will hopefully be starting on that soon and once I get rolling it'll go pretty fast. 

Okay, that's it! Lots of big things happening. The patreon support over the last month has been incredible, so thank you for that! You guys are the best. I love ya and I hope you have a great weekend!
