Meredith's Here!

The Meredith Update has just launched for the Build and High Roller tiers! Subscribe for $5 to get access to the latest build, or $7 to participate in an upcoming feature vote (and play the new build). As a $3 supporter, you'll only have to pay the difference to bump up your tier.

WHAT'S NEW!

Meredith! Duh! But in terms of new content, she brings with her a new strip sprite, a crowd sprite, and 4 new unlockable scenes! We hope you'll have fun stripping her layer after layer--she has a whopping nine items to get through, and she's no fool. Good luck getting to the heart of this goth mommy!

WHAT ELSE?

Strip Playlists! We've added new functionality to the way the girls choose what items to strip. No longer will they always go in the same order every time, but they'll instead be assigned one of multiple "playlists". Syd might save her sexy leather jacket for last, or you might catch Prill in just her robe. Rosalie might not even wait to get her dress off to kick away those panties. I (TT) have wanted something like this ever since I first designed their strip sprites. There's something so inherently sexy about turning a girls' layers on and off and discovering new combinations. You actually have Kim, the loser of the last poll, to thank for this function being added.

WHAT'S NEXT?

Joker's Trip is a very character and dialogue focused game, and we've been slowly refining our toolset to give ourselves as many opportunities for interesting interactions as we can. Reactions and conversations between characters are now possible, plus dialogue based on what specific items a character is or isn't wearing (another new feature tied to the strip playlists!) We've even added functionality that should prevent you from seeing the same joke five times in one round.

We finally have a working dev tool that makes writing dialogue significantly easier than it used to be. Previously, me and Leo would scratchpad in a google doc and they'd have to go through and manually add all the text tags and then manually add them to an excel sheet. Miserable. Now we don't have to do that! Writing dialogue has never been easier! So we want to spend an update doing nothing else! I'm sure those of you that have been playing the game for a while are sick of seeing the same taunts and responses over and over. We feel the same way!

We'll be spending the next month or so just writing new dialogue and refining the dialogue that's already there. All patrons should keep an eye out for a survey asking what you think needs the most love. $7 patrons will be determining what we do after the dialogue update, and will be receiving their own special survey soon as well.
