Update
Added 2017-04-20 05:43:01 +0000 UTCEdit: Alright alright, I hear you guys. I'll leave the current parts of the private dungeon as they are, and only do new equipment using the more personal method (which before some of you get all up in arms, is significantly less complicated, easier, and more fulfilling to do than the current method.) And I'll keep rinny available for invitation.
Despite what the screenshot might suggest, I've been taking a break from pyramid to work on rehauling the private dungeon. Going back to it, I really don't like how impersonal it feels, so I'm changing it to be specific to each chara. Which means... a lot of scenes to write. To give an idea:
-Each equipment can be used as subbe or domme. = x2
-Currently available NPC's: Sammy, Rinny. Also working on making Linda available. = x3
-Currently available equip: Bed. Also bringing in Ankle Stocks. = x2
2 x 3 x 2 = 12 scenes to write.
Except since Rinny's out of the picture for up to date players right now, I might as well make her not invitable for the time being, and do her scenes when her route gets voted in.
Which brings it down to 8, which is still kinda a lot, but eh. I've done 2, so it's actually 6 now.
Anyways, my update posts usually aren't this wordy, so maybe better not to get used to it haha.
Also, I'm going to start making my update posts public instead of patreon exclusive. I don't know if anyone was pledging exclusively for access to that, but if there is, I guess you don't need to now?

Alright that's possible. Personally I don't value immersion in a WIP build as much as others might, which is why I wanted to at least suggest it.

2017-04-21 06:21:30 +0000 UTCI'd honestly rather not, for immersion's sake. Maybe keep a save file from before they get blocked off?

2017-04-20 09:53:18 +0000 UTCPlease do not remove Rinny! She has the best personality of the lot. I would be really sad if I could not get to have her in the dungeon I know it sounds a bit cruel, but If you cut content like that then I fear you would forget it, like other developers have been known to do. Try to make the upcoming update feel like it has more, not less. Do not just cut her because it would be easier, and do the work anyway, because it will be done, and you won't get lost backtracking to fix everything. Best to do the job right the first time.

2017-04-20 09:24:17 +0000 UTCDo you think it'd be possible to create placeholders for Rinny and Fawn until their routes are finished? It'd be easier if the game acted as if they were still available while we cannot actually bring them back.
