Progress is steady (sort of :p)!

So, I think I finally dealt with all the past requests from donors, which means more content here and there in the game. Specifically, there are more random scenes for getting drunk (although 2 of them are related to other events, so it's not necessarily something that will be evident right away), 1 scene that isn't random but is triggered only after a specific random scene, and also 2 scenes that involve a few "old" NPCs, which add some optional spice with them. The scenes range from taking a peek into Darenzia's sex life (but no scenes with Celeste, sorry), to good old lesbian sex, and even Celeste giving a blowjob in a public place. So there is a bit for everyone, I assume.


I'll have to test this stuff now, because it's about time I have another closed beta, so my testers can start giving me precious feedback on what I'll have to change/improve/fix. After that, I'll work on some "meaty" content, tackling the Piper and Darenzia side quests, and another, "secret" quest, that I don't want to spoil. :p This time around, I wasted a lot of time on a single scene, which got me stuck for almost a week, here's hoping nothing like that happens again, but I am confident I'll be able to make something interesting with these quests, and I should be able to avoid getting stuck again.

As for the donations, this week I received 30€ from N.B. (thanks a lot!), so my plan to save enough money to buy a death ray pony is slowly but surely coming to fruition.

This should be about it. As always, ask me questions or remind me of anything I forgot mentioning, if you notice I missed something. Until next time! ^_^

    1. I mentioned this in the previous post, if I remember correctly. Anyway, a public release might make its appearance by the end of the year, if everything goes well. I want to add some more content, at least 2-3 quests, before considering a public release, there is still a lot of work to do. ^_^

  4. If you make the death ray, you can use it to acquire the pony.

    From elsewhere (S. Korea at the time, I think):

    "i am not authorized to display my "death ray"(extremely overpowered and highly focused CO2 laser) during a room inspection
    i am not authorized to display claymore mines during a room inspection
    i am not allowed to do something just because DARPA says it can't be done
    i am not allowed to encourage my minion to do this
    i am not allowed to call rookie "my minion"
    i am not allowed to teach my minion how to make shaped charges
    i am not allowed to teach my minion how to build a death ray
    i am not allowed to enlist my minion in my evil plans or world domination
    i am not allowed to teach my minion languages that do not exist"

    Shouldn't be that hard to build. It's how you test it that's a tricky question.

    1. I usually ask to donators whether they want access to the closed beta or something else as a thank you for their support, so those who opted for the access will get a link. It took me a while to decide how to deal with this stuff, so I honestly can't even remember if I proposed these options to early supporters (I feel really bad thinking they might have gotten the short end of the stick :( ).

    2. Great. Consider my seat booked in advance then!

    3. I did not receive a mail when I made my donation, was there something I should have done?

    4. Was it you who asked for anonimity, by chance? Because I didn't know whether you wanted me to contact you or not, so I asked about it on the blog about it, or it could be I just messed up and forgot to write back to you. Just send me an email (mirko.della@tiscali.it) that tells me the name used in the paypal account, so I can track the donation down (also, let me know if I should send it to a different e-mail, if you use a different one for your paypal).

  6. So what your saying is that there won't ever be any sex scenes between Darenzia and Celeste :(

    1. Yep, he already made clear that Darenzia is 100% straight :'(

    2. What he said. I mentioned to a friend once that there might be a dream scene with such a pair, but he got even more upset with my choice. XD
