I focused most of my work this week on reworking the new animation format. My poor computer is working hard to get all of the new renders made. I converted a lot of my finished renders to the animation format, added sounds to them, and wrote the code for them. So far I've finished Lily's solo and working scenes, along with Claire's working scenes. I also began writing the story events for the next update. I've got a lot of work ahead of me as I continue converting these animations to the new format. I'm also hoping to finish writing this week and can potentially start working on the still renders for the new scenes. In this development update, i want to talk about a potential change to the supporter benefits.
I want your feedback in regards to the exclusive content I offer my supporters. I'm considering changing the exclusive content from the in-game dreams to something else. The in-game paywall can upset a lot of players, leading to negative feedback and a bad sentiment about the game. I've enjoyed creating the dream scenes immensely, and I don't want to stop. So my proposal is to continue putting out a poll every update for a dream scene and adding a 4k exclusive render every 2 weeks or so. These could be something like a pinup, or a sex scene render similar to a dream scene. I'll make the dreams available to the public, but a full release behind similar to the current version system.
So you'll still have the voting power to pick the dream scene for each update, and you'll also get some exclusive 4k renders. I hope this proposal is acceptable and you all understand why I feel like I need to make this change. You can voice your opinion about it as a comment or in the discord where I've already started discussing it.
I've updated the test version 0.4.21 to include Lily's and Claire's working scenes. The new endings need to be updated, and this comes with a major bug alert warning. There will be bugs as I've not spent much time testing this. You persistent gallery data will also be wiped. Now that you've been warned, here's the link to the folder and a list of the changes.
Change log:
Updated Lily's working animations
Updated Claire's working animations
Added difficulty settings
Fixed an issue with the new animations in the gallery
Thanks for tuning in, and I'll see you all again next week!
