The Void of Deviance 0.1.6 Early Access Pre-Release

Hello Everyone!!! Long time no see! I hope everyone was doing great. I'm sorry for the delays, but as you can guess from my messages on discord, I have been going through very busy times. I believe I have gained some crucial experience for the game during the development process, though. 

Now, there are a lot of good news but some tiny bad news for the future updates as well. I think the good news easily outweigh the bad news. 

During the making of the update, about when I was done 75% with everything, I have learned about a plugin that let me get better animations with incredible ease. From now on, I'll be using that method for all the animations in the game, and you will also be able to notice the difference in this update. However, since I discovered it late, Isla's animations are done the same with previous updates, up until her second level 5 intimacy scene. Her last scene is also made with the new method.

I have realised that with more updates there are more things in the code to micro manage and what had been my ambitious plans are turning into extremely complicated chores to manage during the development if I insist on making everything at once. So therefore, I decided to put some features on hold until an update where I polish the overall game in the future. For example, the other characters' reaction if you were wearing chastity etc, need attention on its own. So these are postponed. I will currently be prioritising the availability of content over the presentation/handling of it.

That being said, I want to make up for the delays. Therefore, the next update (0.1.7) will be the content update for Leah, Kurushi, and Sarah. I had said that I'd only do the top two choices, but since Kurushi and Sarah are tied for the second place, and since there is high chance that they will be voted for the next poll anyway, I will be giving them affinity content together. There is 85% chance that Leah will get Bondage path. I have not decided for Kurushi and Sarah yet but there will be 100% chance that one of the three characters will get Devotion path. :)

Some bad news:

The program I use to merge the sfx with videos kind of let me down in this update. While some video files have sfx, some won't have that. Isla's videos don't have any sfx. This is not something unfixable, so don't worry :) It's just that I would not want to have glitched sfx on videos, kind of messes up the whole thing.

Aaand that's it I guess :) I hope you all enjoy the update, and I sincerely thank you for all the support <3 I will share on Discord in case I forgot to mention anything.

See you all!!! :* <3

Changelog:
- Isla's Intimacy Path. (Until Level 6. Last scene is called Change of Seasons)

- Sanguide's Base. You can visit Sanguide's Base from the map. The location is called Site of Anomaly. (the curled whip icon on the map) You can train with her to gain some stats. I benefited from the new animation method for her battle, and will from now on do all battle content in a similar way. Feels much more fluid.

- Endai's Dojo  (No content, just location). (I have realised that with the new animation technique the locations could look much more alive. So if you replay the event at the equilibrium institute you will be able to visit Endai's Dojo from then on. You can see that instead of static images, the characters are doing looped movements. and instead of sprites, their chat screens also use videos. I found it better, and if you have no complaints, I will be doing that for all the characters, redoing every chat screen's background like that :) )

- Yena's Challenge. Talk to Yena and ask about the Penal system. Say that you are brave, and she will challenge you.

-Wynn's Task. (Also a miniggame)

-Some Findom. Susan and Mary has scene-less findom interactions. Go to them and chose "Give" , after the first time, whenever you chose give on them you'll be able to give them money to slightly increase an affinity.

- 5 new soundtracks (Sarah's, Isla's, Site of Anomaly, Dojo, Countryside)

I guess that's it :) I'll also be reducing the amount of reactionary shots during the scenes to save time, since there is a better way to just animate now. Please, let me know if you have any criticism about the game or the plans for the future.

I wish you all the best!! <3 <3 <3 Thank you soo soo much!!!
