Identity - Version 0.3.8

Happy holidays to all of you!

The time has come for all of our fans and supporters especially to rejoice as we have prepared a pretty big present for you! Yes, this is a new version of Identity, albeit quite belated, but it has many goodies packed inside!

New content

This update includes the first part of a massive rework for day 5. Most of the rework was done by Gherod, and he even replaced Berac with a scene between Azorin and Camila now. It is a bit more like a noire detective thriller now, and should hopefully be more exciting to experience.

Azorin is now a different character, while keeping the personality traits that he was supposed to have. So, he is far less abrasive and should be a lot more personable now. On top of that, you should now also be able to spend some time with the detective, as their first date was written and added to the game. We're really curious about your feedback on him!

We also touched up the ending parts of day 5, where Azorin makes a bit more of a direct reference to the weirdness of all the surrounding occult stuff. Even Garreth has gotten a payoff now, that will be revealed if you were saved by him and also maxed your dating progress with him up until that point.

There is a bit more stuff to discover, but we aren't finished yet with reworking day 5 and will return to it at a later point. For now, most of the magazines have been temporarily removed and will be returned once we have reworked all of them.

Thankfully, even with the war in Ukraine raging on during this year, our artist Rauch has still managed to deliver on an impressive amount of new backgrounds and illustrations. For the first time ever, the game will no longer feel empty during the moments which matter most.

All of the art pieces we had shown in our previous dev diaries were added to the game. This includes the art for Corvolin, a certain scene in the library and also several sex illustrations (one of which was literally just finished before posting this update!)

Aside from illustrations, this new reworked day 5 also already has been worked over by Samples. So hopefully, with every new build of the game, it should all feel like a more complete experience through and through.

And last but not least, we also fixed a progression bug involving Brym's dates. You used to be able to access his second date before you were supposed to, which broke his variables tracking your progress with him. Hopefully, you should now be able to get the best outcome with him, but let us know if it's still broken.

Status update

We do this a lot, but we would like to apologise for the silent period we had between our last dev post and now. The reasons for that lie with a lot of things happening in our lives, but also a lot of responsibilities suddenly cropping up. The writing part was actually finished about a month ago, and the implementation took a bit of time and the build was actually ready about two weeks ago.

The people in our team with the ability to push the build out simply have had a lot on their plate as the year draws to a close for us all. And since public relations are every bit as important to a project as the actual creation itself is, we decided to wait until we could write this post. It turned out that the timing was convenient, as we bring this update to you just in time for the holiday break.

This wasn't something we intended, as we initially wanted to make a dev diary post before the holidays, but now that all of the content we wanted to include in it has been added to this build, it makes more sense to wait out until we have more to show for those of you who really want to see it (and to whom we are so sincerely grateful).

Until then though, please enjoy your holidays and let Identity fill you up with warmth~, just like Yarin and Garreth up there!
