Progress Report
Added 2020-04-26 08:45:04 +0000 UTCGreetings!
Man, the endgame is looking to be a lot of work. I'm accustomed to almost being done with my updates at this time of the month, but I'm still far away from finishing this one. I've barely completed the map over all the routes through it, and I've finished the renders for one of the new scenes. Most of the other scenes will be able to reuse a lot of existing renders, but not all of them.
It's looking like this version will contain about 8 or 9 new scenes (not necessarily sex scenes), all of which have multiple variations depending on choices you've made earlier in the game. They will also feature new decisions with branching paths that you can make during the scenes themselves. It's going to get very complicated, very fast. Expect to meet most of the girls who are currently in town.
The plan is for the upcoming version to cover all the events of the day before the coronation. In other words, you still won't meet Princess Selena, but you will meet her the version after this one. The focus this time will be on laying plans and making preparations for the big day. But will it be enough? Only time will tell.
The big inspiration for this part of the game is the final mission in Mass Effect 2. You've spent the entire game up to that point at gathering your crew and building up their loyalty. This moment is when it starts to pay off. Based on what you've learned about them, you begin to assign them simple tasks and hope that all your planning will survive an encounter with the enemy. I want this update to evoke similar feelings in the players. You will make choices this time that you won't see the consequences of until later. I'm excited to hear what people choose.
In any case, I need to get back to work, I need to do a lot of writing for this update, and it won't write itself.
Until next time!

You're such tease, Nell and Fairy Queen (well dirty-minded fairy too but she isn't in possible waifu list) are both reasons why I'm still there ^_^ Great job, Belle!

2020-04-26 13:24:51 +0000 UTCYeah, but that was primarily an issue because of the rigidity of Mass Effect 2's overall structure. Each companion followed the same progression: 1) Recruit them. 2) Do their loyalty mission. If you did both, you were prepared for the endgame. If not, you weren't. I'm thinking a little differently from that. If nothing else, just look at the structure of the girls' progressions in LLtP right now, particularly girls like Nell and the Fairy Queen. There are many ways things can go with them. Nell, for example, could easily become more useful in the endgame if you do NOT follow her story to its conclusion. Does that mean that either choice is wrong or right? Who knows, and that's that point.

2020-04-26 11:09:46 +0000 UTCMajor problem with Mass Effect 2 ending that if you'd done "right things" then everyone would survive. It's completely killing all "epicness" feeling and turning it into another space soap opera. Of course it isn't a problem for your game as everyone is high on hope for a harem xD
