About 0.15

0.15 is almost ready. Or, more accurately, everything but poker is already done. The minigame still needs some extra work. Hopefully, we'll work out the kinks in the next couple of days. We're aiming for June 14th release for our $40 Patrons.

Since we moved away from strict deadlines, we can't afford to release a half-baked update and need extra time for testing. We don't want you to feel like you're part of our QA team.

We understand you don't like the idea of vague and uncertain releases, so we plan on adding a public roadman for 0.16 and forward. In the future we will also add global roadmap for the finished 1.0. We're still going to continue working on the game after release of 1.0, but those will be thematic updates and we'll talk about them when the time comes.


Next paragraph will have spoilers for 0.15.

In 0.12 we added the villa as a hub with interactive locations, correct display of different characters and much more, but we didn't have the time to also add any content. In 0.15 we did the same thing with Veronica's apartment, but 0.15 also has as much content as an average update. There's some content with Veronica like lessons, striptease, breakfasts and dinners. All basic functionality of a new house: options to sleep, eat, shower, do Kate's homework, etc. Various events with Fedor for alternative ways to pay off rent (many different sex scenes, all optional). A new event in the hotel where Kate can now clean Fedor's room naked. Kate can pay off her entire debt or pay off what she can if she doesn't have enough money. And there are new dialogs with Nicolas about Veronica. We'll go into more details in the release post.

I agree.... I really want to see the old Glamour storylines brought into this new style. I also don't mind at all that Max and the girls aren't related. When playing BB I pretend that they're not related anyway. Just not my thing...

He cannot use Max in the old way as Patreon will not allow it. That is the reason that Max and the people he lives with are not family. What needs to be done is a update for Kate one month then max the next month. Also needs to be updated is all the old quests and the quests for each of the students in kates class and all of the teachers, including cheerleaders, swimming, The gym and night club. Also the shops so you can buy items like clothing for the gym, beech and night club.

He cannot go back to BB in the old way as Patreon will not let it on their site. So he has to add Max into this game and make it that they are not family members at all. What needs to be done is one update for kate and then the next month a update for max . What also needs to be done is all the old story arc's updated one at a time, so all the old quests come into line with the rest of the story as it is now.

Wow. Looks promising

Your side project is cute and all but when are you going back to BB?

You’re right!

If anyone can prove me wrong here then please do it..... Facts and figures don’t lie, I’m sorry but I’m just gonna say this out loud as I’ve been feeling it for a while, BB was a huge financial success and had way more support than Glamour, anyone who has voted NOT to have any Max content has hindered the development of this game greatly for selfish reasons because even the most basic common sense will tell you a basic formula More Support = More Money More Money = Faster Development Faster Development = Better Quality + More Content It’s this simple......

Agreed, although i didn't mind having a longer play through, additionally with the auto update you don't have to download bulk games and move saves so it didn't faze me to much.

It was originally agreed for Bi-monthly updates between the two characters but then as soon as Kate supporters started losing their shit then it was put to a vote where the results were we wouldn’t get any Max content and about the new dev cycle yeah the majority voted for it to be like this but it doesn’t mean that the minority who didn’t want it this way just have to shut up and accept it, simple answer is make some Max content to pull in some new support then hire someone else to shorten dev time.

А что по 0.16 решили не делать голосовалку? ИМХО пока шла отладка 0.15 как раз былдо время

Personally, I think it's better to wait than get a game with lots of bugs on time. Have you all forgotten what was last month? It's better for us and for DS.

lukumo

The majority agreed, so it will not be bad if there is no update for a month at all. We enable development of the game with our money and do not pay for the updates!

lukumo

Good point, but just imagine what would happen if DS took a month built the gym, Beach and Night club and reset the month clock. People would go ballistic, unfortunately that would be the only way to include new areas, the art, the story and bug check everything. Sure DS could divide the teams build the areas separate and try to mod the game with new areas. BUt in my experience trying to add code from the outside to base code is a nightmare. Only other solution is not to expand the playing area and just stick with the areas we already have, but that will create complaints to.

0.17 by our votes unless something changes, by rights it should be quite large the previous content from 0.13 should be added as well as additional content from 0.17 or at least that's my hope.

I want tipping Veronika in the VIP Flamingo, with her ca$ from the poker.

You showed pics of Max doing homework with Lisa ages ago. Made it sound like it was going to be easy to implement most of the Big Brother game. All we have is a demo. Kate is sorta fun but you promised Max! Was it all talk?

So, we voted for sex with Victoria but got sex with Fedor. Why?

Miguel

Going to see how this runs, main problem at the moment seems to be the development time for new areas. Once those are done its all about adding the art and story. Once DS has finished implementing the new areas this should normalize. Ill rethink things if it reaches the stage where im looking at paying double.

All pay 2 months pledge and only get one update for the money

I Have stopped my pledge as am not willing to pay for a month with no update. So will wait for the update to come out before i pledge. have no problem with stopping my pledge and restarting it when the update comes out. That is the only way i can see to make sure that i do not pay twice in the same month

We like wasting money. Is that an issue?

brokemolotov

Why do you pay for this? Don't you understand that he will continue doing shit instead of the game he could be doing?

So now we get to have 2 shell locations without any gameplay... Whoop... Whoop...

I was under the impression it was whatever date the release is $40 will get it on that day, then a 7 day gap between the update for each other support tier going down the ladder, so 14th June = $40 21st June = $20 28th June = $10 5th July = $5 Now i could be completely wrong here but won’t that mean that the $5 supporters would have paid on the 1st June and 1st July for a single update? Hmmmm 🤔 and I pointed this out during the poll and everyone still voted for not having strict deadlines... I’m a $40 supporter and there could technically come a time where I could pay $80 for a single update

I’m still not sold on this idea of no strict deadlines because of this one comes out on 14th for instance for $40 Patrons, 7 days later for $20 patrons, 7 days after that for $10 patrons and so on until the $5 patrons, give it a few more development cycles and some will then be paying twice for a single update and I still can’t believe nobody has pointed this out yet? Yeah I’m a supporter but I always speak my opinions and I don’t dance around subjects that concern me. Let’s just put it this way by next month unless the dev time is severely reduced next cycle then the $5 patrons will be paying $10 for a single update. Not trying to offend but hey I’m just sharing a concern of mine going forward because this is why I voted for strict deadlines on the previous poll

So, what does this mean about the release dates for us who cannot pay the $40 for the June 14 release. Will we be receiving our releases on the dates we normally do, or will we be delayed by the same amount of time as the $40 patrons were delayed?

Thanks for the update. ;)
