I've seen a lot of new Patrons over the last few days, so I thought I'd post up a few things for people who haven't been frequenting the Discord server and a quick update on the next release timeline.
First of all, this release has taken far longer than I ever thought it would. That said, it's wrapping up now. I've finished the full story portion of the new content, which includes a lot of info for people who are interested in lore and general progression of major plot points... and also some sex and nudity.
Also, this is the final of the planned large system updates (the dungeon system). All of the future updates that will be incorporated into the v0.3 milestone (of which this is the first) will be the usual VN-type game updates of story progression, event progression, and additional variations on existing content (recipes that lead to events, hidden events related to titles, and other things along those lines). These next updates are also intended to be rolled out to players on a much faster timeline, since they require a lot less planning and development (there's a huge difference between animating a sex scene using characters and environments that you've already made and modeling an entire dungeon from scratch and then using your piss coding skillz to make it even remotely playable).
Anyway, I'm far enough along to give you a preliminary changelog and a pretty accurate release window. The game should be updated in roughly two weeks. I'm really hoping to get it out to you guys on or about the week of September 5th.
Preliminary changelog:
- First story dungeon has been added. Story dungeons are large plot events that require multiple lives to fully explore.
- Dungeons added into the exploration maps ('Temple' type only for now).
- Additional enemies and items for Temple dungeons ranging from level 10 through level 40 (new enemies are better balanced to match with expected player strength for their levels... we'll see how it turns out and tweak existing enemies from there).
- Additional recipes (currently 5, but that may change)
- Additional dungeon titles (5)
- Eight new sexy animations and a few not-sexy ones
- Soul Box maximum level increased to 7
The list is short, but the dungeon is long... at least it was long to make.
Cheers, guys.
