Progress Report

Howdy! Here’s what’s up:

We worked on the next major update, in particular on adding more references to the existing events. I think we’re done with this part of the update, the existing pole events ended up tripling in size and I believe they now take into account every possible version of Kira. They’re still the same lengths (roughly), you’ll just see the text that represents your version of Kira better. 

Then we switched to work on another “fast” update, because it would be nice to have something ready to be published while we’re working on the major one. In the next fast update we will introduce layered Chief Officer events and we’re currently busy layering them. 

In terms of dates and time, I can’t give you anything concrete yet, but I think we’re getting faster now that we have an office space. 

Option 8 (redo one older event) won with 37 votes, the second place goes to Option 1 (Vivarium bj event) with 34 votes.

I’m also including the SubscribeStar votes here, which ain't much (yet) since only half of our subscribers voted and we have 2 of them :) But every vote counts and any amount of support is appreciated, it’s marked by the orange line, while the red line indicates the 10$ votes. 

All in all, the results didn’t change with the 10$ votes and with the SubscribeStar votes, but it was a close one. 

Okay, that’s enough of the technical stuff, let’s talk about the winning option itself:

We picked to work on the Chief Officer H-event, or rather eventS, since they all share the same “base” pictures and make the effort we’re putting into this much more impactful for the game overall. 

 Above is a comparison of the older/newer versions, and I’d like to point out that I didn’t change Kira’s face again, I just reshaded it and pretty much painted over it while maintaining the same linework and shapes. 

The art will be completely layered with all implemented and planned physical changes (more extreme breast sizes, pregnancy, etc.), so far I finished layering background, foreground and her head completely, but I’m still working on her breasts, outfits and hands. So I’d say this is ~50% done. 

I’d also like to add more references to Kira’s stats and appearance in the text, but in those H-events she barely talks so it probably won’t be that noticeable. 

That’s the whole plan for the upcoming “fast” update. 

Now, I of course had other ideas while working on this, but this time I managed to suppress my urge and me and Moana decided to implement those ideas later. 

The first idea is to expand existing events with the Chief Officer. 

We want to make them repeatable  - “reconditioning” for cases where Kira loses a fetish and wants to get it back or just for fun.  And to add some unique “therapy” style references to his dialogue. 

The thing about references to Kira’s appearance is that she can already look extremely outrageous and we’ve got to be mindful of what stuff the npc’s reference or it all could devolve into them just listing what Kira has on her body. So, I want them to react differently. 

In the case of the Chief Officer, I want to create a new dialogue choice that will always be present when you talk to him, called “My appearance”. Here the game would check what Kira has on her body and provide you an option to talk about each individual thing separately. 

The second idea is to make alternative events for a “Dead Chief” path.

They would feature the same art, the text would be similar, but Olga will be the Chief Officer. I’d also like to include her art in the event - that, and her harsher approach to therapy, would be the most noticeable differences between her and her predecessor's events. 

Which is why we’re adding two more options to the “fast content poll” roster of events - “Alternative Chief Olga H-events” and “Expand Chief Officer content”. 

We’ll start the next content poll once the fast update will be out, just like we did with the last two of them. 

I’m not 100% sure which update we’ll release next, but the current plan is to release both fast and major updates this year and to start the next year “fresh” with brand new content (Moana’s quest), fetishes/stats overhaul and the continuation of the Vivarium arc. I’d be really happy if we’ll manage to do this and we believe that we can. 

That’s all I wanted to say today, thank you all for your patience and support! The end is near!
