Stubbing My Toe Everywhere

 

This week really felt like I couldn't take 5 steps without finding a new problem, as you might have noticed thanks to the two hotfixes. In fact, one of my testers found a new bug with the schedule and starting chapter 3 (no more hotfixes, since this one should have a workaround, at least) and I also fixed typos and other similar issues here and there.

As a result, I slowed down a little, but I finished the intro for Dani to become a vice-captain, and I also finished writing all reactions to the pirate attack around Golden Leaf. If someone important is missing, let me know, but I think overall we get a nice variety of responses now, and it should feel nice as a little "treat" after repelling the pirates.

I do have a scene in the works (the first one involving Dani at her new role), but it's very early stages at this point.

That's about it for this week. I figure I'll focus on new scenes first (including the one mentioned above) and then I'll try to see how much time I have left and what I can do prior to the release (which I imagine will be sometime near the end of next week).

Stay tuned for more news! ^_^

Standstill

 

Last week hasn't been particularly productive: there were a few holidays which shortened the dev time, I tried to do some work for TOTDC 2, and generally speaking, I felt a bit uninspired, and I don't really know why. Still, I fixed a couple of bugs and some typos (you probably know about the bugs since I released a hotfix) and I started working on a little piece of side content involving cowgirls. More specifically, a character that has been used before (Dani, although many might not remember who she is) will join Golden Leaf if you are a cowgirl and you got yourself a new captain.

She will work as vice-captain, as a way for Zanti to extend their influence in town... But mostly to add some sexy scenes, if I am honest. XD

At one point I was considering having her be one of the possible captains (as one of my testers suggested), but it's a bit tricky to add her in that role at this point. Still, I liked the idea enough that I wanted to include her in some way.

Past that, I am going to write more reactions around Golden Leaf to the pirate attack (one of the things I couldn't work on last month), maybe one or two more random events for travelling with the ship, as well as more events and short quests I am interested in. This and work on some scenes should keep me busy until it's time for the next update, but I'll let you guys know how things evolve week after week.

That's all for now, until next time! ^_^

April Update

 All Perverts, Alert! Another incredible* update just dropped! Get the public version here or at itch.io. Read the changelog here, if you dare.

*Very few people can believe this game even exists, let alone that it still gets new updates.

Cruising Caliross

So, this week I got a couple of the random events done for the ship. It took slightly more than expected, because one of the ideas grew more than I expected, so I needed a new map and to think of something interesting for that one. it's small and self-contained, but I think that's actually perfect for this sort of content.

I still need to write a scene for the other random event, and since this one makes you learn "rumors" during it, I might expand it to include hints at secrets and stuff in the game. There is already something new you can find if you investigate the specific "rumor", but this might be something I re-visit later, to see if the hints need to be more obvious or cryptic, and to add some other new secrets tied to it.

The game has 2 new scenes now: one is for the vampire doc, and the other is a scene for cowgirls if you go talk to the Zanti shopkeeper in your town after the final quest is over. I think they are both hot, but then again vampires and cowgirls are my favourites, pretty much, so I might be biased. XD

I should send the game to the testers soon, while I take the rest of the week to add some more stuff before release, so we can go for a weekend release. The patrons-only art preview and polls should arrive soon, so look forward to them as well.

That's all for now, stay tuned for the next update! ^_^

What's Cooking?

 

Last week I worked some more on the walkthrough (some people pointed out stuff that was still missing, but hopefully we are good now), I wrote a new scene (likely the last bit of "solo" content), I tweaked a bunch of dialogues for those who want to retire by picking a father to settle down with from the Institute (basically now the conversations properly reflect that the pregnancy isn't ongoing, and that you are "retiring" AFTER the fact).

I also started to write some (optional) random events if you decide to use your own ship to travel, just to spice things up and make it feel more worthwhile to invest in its repairs. I'll probably try to use traits/stats where it makes sense, and offer some minor choices, but I don't want to go overboard, just something fun that you can toggle on/off at your convenience.

Finally, I fixed a couple of bugs, involving dialogues not triggering properly during the "chess battle" with General Tiberius and an image staying on screen after interacting with the grabby sailor at the inn.

This week I should finis the random events and write a couple of scenes at least, then I should probably add more reactions to the final quest in Golden Leaf and after that I'll probably have to check my notes again, and see what's there to do.

The release should be next week during the weekend, in case you are curious, but I'll give a better estimate as I get closer to wrapping things up for the month. Stay tuned for more news! ^_^

Write It Down!

 

Last week I mostly worked on the walkthrough, and I think I brought it back to parity with the game now. If anyone finds something is missing or needs some info that it's not there, make sure to let me know, so I can think about adding it next.

Other than that, I chased another bug related to Sole and Luna in their path (I think I managed to fix all the issues now) and I wrote a new scene for the bedroom (I'll only write one more for the "Home Alone" crowd, but that should be it for the game).

As for this month, I think I'll focus on scenes, polish, and other assorted events. If I manage to sneak in another small quest, good, but I want to tackle some of the minor content in my notes, and maybe move some of the entries to a possible "1.1 update" in the future (assuming people ever want me to expand Caliross a few years from now).

As always, this is all for now. Keep an eye out for more news next week! ^_^
