Progress Report
Added 2018-11-10 19:48:54 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
I suppose I've already shown my hand for this month by revealing that I'm now focusing on Callie. You'll be pleased to know that I've been making serious progress on that front. It's mostly just design work instead of actually creating scenes at this point, but it's all important and will pay off. The current work has been focused on adding Callie's large secret (which might later be upgraded to a dark secret once those are implemented, but I haven't fully decided yet).
One of the reasons it has taken a while for me to get to the point where I felt ready to continue Callie's story is that I needed to have the Knock spell fully implemented and available. As anyone who has played 0.14.0 will know, you can now learn that spell. Another reason I had to wait was that my plans for Callie required the presence of another girl who I haven't introduced yet, and I didn't want to add yet another character to spread my attention even thinner. In the end, I decided to add the character regardless, but not make her available for the player to seduce (yet). Think of her as someone you'll get to meet in more detail much later. For now, she'll play a supporting role in Callie's story. I could tell you who she is, but I'd like to keep some surprises for the release. Patrons at the higher reward levels can look forward to a preview of her soon.
So anyway, I've designed this new girl and rendered a scene with her that I'm going to need for this update. I've also created the puzzle concepts for the update and chosen which clues to implement. This part of development is a little frustrating. There's a lot of thinking with very little to show for it, but it's a necessary evil. Once it's entirely out of the way, I can focus 100% on implementing the ideas.
Well, that's that for now. I'll hopefully have much more progress to report next week.
Oh, I'll leave you one hint about the new girl: She has been mentioned in the game already.
Until next time!

We've come pretty far, but there's a long way to go yet. I can't tell you how many updates there are going to be as I haven't split the story into chunks like that. I can't predict how long each feature will take to implement. While I know where we are going with the big picture, I keep my focus just on the next update at all times.
2018-11-11 07:30:44 +0000 UTCGood Luck! Hey I was just wondering how far in development this game is? How many more future updates are you expecting to implement? Sorry for asking as I'm new here.

2018-11-10 21:40:44 +0000 UTCI don't want to make any specific promises, but my intent is to focus on Nell once Callie has gotten her fair share of attention.
2018-11-10 20:30:57 +0000 UTCRespect for your good work. I'm always looking forward to every update. And what do you appreciate in what version about new content will come with Nell? In the last update she was also represented. Is clearly my favorite character c: (I hope you understand it, my English is not great)
