June News Update (Patrons only)

Hey again, time for this month's news update.

Version 0.1 of "Private Eyes & Secret Desires" is now available to all patrons. So, now that that's done, the release priority polls, to determine which project will get development priority next month, will go up soon after this post, one for each tier. They will run for a week, till the 5th of July, so be quick to vote.

Speaking of tiers, the updated tier benefits, which I introduced last month, will be in effect from today on. Here's the overview again:

Tier 5 (35$): Gets access to new game versions first (Together with Tier 4), Gets to vote in every poll, including bonus content polls (Votes count 6 times), Gets to suggest bonus content scenarios, Gets access to bonus content

Tier 4 (20$): Gets access to new game versions first (Together with Tier 5), Gets to vote in every poll, including bonus content polls (Votes count 4 times), Gets to suggest bonus content scenarios, Gets access to bonus content

Tier 3 (10$): Gets access to new game versions 5 days after Tier 4 + 5, Gets to vote in every poll, including bonus content polls (Votes count 3 times), Gets to suggest bonus content scenarios, Gets access to bonus content

Tier 2 (5$): Gets access to new game versions 5 days after Tier 3, Gets to vote in every poll, including bonus content polls (Votes count 2 times), Gets access to bonus content

Tier 1 (2$): Gets access to new versions of the game 5 days after Tier 2, Gets to vote in game related polls, not including bonus content polls (Votes count 1 time), Gets access to bonus content

In development related news, the next versions, of both Diplomacy and Private Eyes, will include some UI related add-ons, based on feedback I've recently received.

You'll get the option to toggle hints on or off. So during decisions, you may now get shown the actual stat changes, which each decision will trigger. You can also keep it off, of course, for more immersive gameplay.

This is where you'll find the option in Private Eyes.

And this is what it'll look like during a decision.

Diplomacy also adds another option, next to the decision hints. Since Netorare scenes, specifically, scenes where a Love Interest gets intimate with another man, behind the MC's back, are not everyone's cup of tea, these scenes will be able to be turned off. Those kinda scenes are not supposed to be a big part of the story anyway, but since NTR is a controversial topic, I've decided to implement this option. Netori, aka, the player character stealing another man's lover, and the player character willingly sharing a Love Interest, will not be effected by this option, as those kinda scenes will only get triggered by concrete player approval anyway.

So that's it for now. As always, feeback is appreciated. Here's a small summertime render, featuring the two ladies, which currently lead the Diplomacy character priority polls, to send you off. See you next time.
