Release Day

0.10.2 for Dossier+

0.10.0 for Agent Applicants

It's been a big week for art assets! 20 more pieces of passage art, and the entire 'suite' of finishing animations (that's 3 additions!) has been uploaded. We're currently coding in the instances where these...ahem...completions take place throughout the entirety of the game.

Meanwhile, we've also upgraded the interface where Claire chooses her partners during the Prologue.

So now you can see gender, ages, which ones are selected -- and the ethnicity should be more clear. The next step here will be information on whether this was a long-term relationship, casual hookup, or one-night stand.

Meanwhile, work continues on fleshing out the remaining 'first times' and structuring where 'bad dad' exists in the Prologue.

Likely release date for 0.10.3 will be next week.

Thanks for your support!

Release Day

0.10.2 for Sudden Agents

Reminder! Agent Applicants now receive release versions as well. Just another way for us to say thank you to all our supporters, we dearly appreciate you.

Very likely the next release will be 0.10.3 rather than a hotfix.

There will be 16 more 'first times', improvements to UX for choosing Prologue, RPG, or Quick Start, attention to passages that would scroll you down to mid-page, other fixes and likely a bunch more art. But we'll see!

I'm also going back through the Prologue for Claire's Dad when he's a prick. After rewriting the 'first time' passage between them, it really felt like he needed to have a different attitude throughout the Prologue for consistency's sake.

Third on my list of to-do's is the next steps with Bona and Casamir. A little spy, a little escort, maybe a little double-agent.

0.10.2 Release + 1st Agent Applicant Release!

It's here!

As promised, we're beginning to release versions to our Agent Applicant supporters. (0.10.0)

For our Handlers+ we're releasing 0.10.2, which includes:

-13 updated and improved 'first time' passages.

-Revamped 'hookup' scene from character creation.

-A dozen pieces of passage art.

-Six new headshots of characters in Act I.

-Fixes to issues progressing in Act I.

-Fixes to names displaying correctly depending on who Claire is dating in the Prologue.

-New (pixel) tattoos! [Nerdy]

-Additional triggers that were missing for 'oops' issues with birth control in Act I.

-UX improvements, in particular an 'x' to end Notification pop-ups.

Where can I find the release for my tier? As always, in this post.

Release Day + Updates

0.10.1 for Origin+

Should be dropping the 0.10.2 update shortly. I wanted to get all the 'first time' sections completed, but I had a very difficult time engaging with them -- especially the one with Dad (which I'm sure is one of people's top picks). So I'll release a hotfix with the remaining ones but I got in the ones I felt were 'kinkiest'.

This was definitely a lesson for me for the future. I need to ensure that 'revamps' are done in more bite-sized pieces and that I'm focusing on material that I find interesting. Otherwise, it takes me too long to find the 'way in' that allows me to write something unique, with character and flavor.

On to other things:

We've addressed the remaining pathing issues that people were having in Act I and we think we've finally figured out the gate with the guy at the first night at the Club so you can sleep with him.

Funny how it went from people not wanting to feel forced into it and then being completely blocked out of it.

Also -- and I hope this is exciting -- we've decided to release versions to our $1, Agent Applicant tier. No longer is it simply access to the Discord and supporting us, it's getting versions long prior to the Public releases.

So! When 0.10.2 releases, we'll drop 0.10.0 for our Agent Applicants. Then 0.10.1 when 0.10.3 releases: one release behind, but still getting a taste of what we're working on.

We really appreciate any and all support and want to show you all that it matters in the ways that we can.

Thanks again and looking forward to sending across 0.10.2!

Release Day

0.10.1 for Dossier+

I'm still hard at work on the 'first' time updates. It's a much larger task than I had expected: there are 29 possible results and I've been ensuring that each one that I rewrite is unique. I'm creating nuances to the relationship between them and Claire, the location and timing, how Claire feels about the situation, etc.

Hopefully, the work will make people seek out and try different firsts for Claire to see the one that they like best.

Also through this process, it felt right to revisit the hookup scene during character creation and put something in that felt a bit more 'right' for Claires that might have an atypical partner while she was growing up.

And I felt that there needed to be a little more color to her departure for Act I, so there's a little beat added if she's maintaining a relationship -- something I'll sprinkle in here and there throughout the game where it feels appropriate.

Appreciate the patience, it shouldn't be too much longer now to deliver 0.10.2

Release Day

0.10.1 for Sudden Agents

We're still trucking along on 0.10.2: a half dozen new headshots, a dozen more pieces of passage art, and I'm deep in the 'first time' sex-tions working on making each one feel unique and appropriate for the person who Claire shares that experience with.

Meanwhile, we've fixed a number of the bugs that have been pointed out in the Prologue, especially in the RPG start, which will be resolved with the next release.

What are your thoughts on the tanlines (hopefully will have the HD versions in soon!) and the new finishing animations?
