Progress Report

It's been a week since the release of version 0.37. I hope you've all enjoyed the opportunity to let Belle pick on someone her own size for once. I can assure you that Belle enjoyed it.

With 0.37 finished, the next item on my slate is version 0.38 (obviously). That update will be about finishing every remaining night scene, upping Perversity to 6, and adding the Deep Sleep spell. It's a massive undertaking, and I suspect I may have raised expectations too high. At this stage in the game's development, I can't go wild with a feature like this, or the game would never be finished. While it would be nice to massively expand each of these scenes and add a myriad of options to them, it's just not practical. Attempting to do so would have me working on this feature alone for the next 6 months, and that's just not good for anyone.

I will try to boil down the missing content to its most basic level, adding the stuff that is obviously yet to be implemented and making it good without going overboard with options. We have four groups of girls that need to be dealt with. They are Evelyn, Callie, Primrose, and Samarra/Nell. Each of these might have multiple choices that must be added. It adds up really fast, as I'm sure you can tell. 

I'm going to streamline this update as much as possible, but don't expect this one to be out in a month. It's the most significant remaining hurdle on the road to version 1.0. I can only hope you'll be patient with me as I dive into this.

As for what I've been doing this past week, my focus has been 100% on my next game as a palette cleanser between updates. I have taken all the feedback I have received to heart and have come up with a story that I suspect will please many of you. I have also managed to get over a problematic bump in the road for the card game design, which means I have the rules much clearer in mind now than I used to. Additionally, I have built a system for endlessly looping background music during the game, something I never got around to doing with LLtP. There is already a ton of music in the new game, all of it fully loopable. 

I can't wait to share more details about the new game with you all. I haven't been this excited about it for months. Those of you at the $10 level and above will be the first to get a sneak peek at what's coming (expect a lengthy post this month), but I will start talking about it to the rest of you soon enough, so don't worry.

And that's it for this time. It's time for me to put away the new game for a little while and focus on LLtP again. 

Until next time!
