Release Day

0.9.5.2 has been released to Origin supporters

We're in the crunch for 0.10 release, our top-tier supporters will be seeing it soon!

The college restructure and improvements have been completed, and I'm about 14,000 lines of code away from fully implementing Personality to Act I.

I've also added a couple monitors to the Dossier that reflect current Fertility and Personality while we wait for more visual indicators being finished.

Speaking of visuals, Lewd has assembled a series of new piercings that will be added in a future release -- more options! moar customization!

I've found the polls quite interesting: I'm not surprised at what wins, but I am glad that there are people out there enjoying all the paths. There's good content, stats/decisions on all the paths and clearly that's reflected in some use by our players!

#Release Day

0.9.5.2 for Dossier+

Our animation poll has completed and we'll be going forward with unanimous support on the more 'full-body' approach to finishing animations. Noice has already started work on completing assets for variations on this one and then will begin work on a few more this month.

I've been continuing implementing Personalities in Act I, sketching out some forward progress with Bona/Casimir, working at the club, and planning on a revamp of the intro sex-moment where the choices matter a bit more.

The next release 0.10.0 will include the Personalities update for certain and potentially one or two of the above, alongside with the Rocker & Loser Quickstart Claires -- before there were bugs in those adventure lines which made finalizing them impossible.

I also want to thank those that posted a review on F95, it means a lot to us!

Public 0.9.2 + 0.9.5.2 Hotfix Releases

First, thanks for the bug call outs! They have been implemented both Public and Supporter versions, while the Public also has extended a couple days to access the content that was intended.

0.9.5.2 Hotfix for Sudden Agents+

0.9.2 Public for, well, the Public

Since it's a mid-week post, I wanted to take a moment and shout out the artist Dum$lut that composed the Blue Swallow theme (verses with lyrics to be added in future Blue Swallow releases).

They just dropped an EP here: Hypn0slut

Check 'er out!

I also wanted to re-iterate that making a rating review of Blue Swallow on F95zone is much appreciated. I think there's been a lot of thumbs-ups and hearts, but no actual reviews that affect our 'rating'. Thanks in advance!

0.9.5.1 Hotfix!

0.9.5.1 for Handlers+

Seems there was a flag that was misfiring. We've fixed it, and pushed the hotfix to the link. Hope that opens all the doors for you all!

0.9.5 for our Handlers+

The Big Event is complete! That's 6,000+ lines of added content over 30 different passages!

If Claire isn't selected for the event there are a couple pathways for her to get her spy on. That's right, this is the first instance of real spying going on!

-Do some sleuthing at the Club when everyone's away -Attend the Party with Nate, if she doesn't work at the Club -Infiltrate the Club with Angelo, if she doesn't work at the Club

And! If she's discovered 'That Door' while working at the Club, a 'side mission' with Angelo is also now available to be unlocked.

If she //does// get selected for the event...

-Her job matters and affects how the night evolves and who she's with -She'll be able to gain some intel on characters she may have met or missed before -She'll have multiple opportunities to pick targets or keep pressing her luck until the party ends -Each party encounter has multiple results, depending on numerous variables.

Of course there's more than content: we've added a few more states that affect stats; the pixel art baseline for tanlines to be added in 0.10; another dozen pieces of passage art; IMMENSE improvements to code and QOL changes, bug fixes a plenty; and a headshot for a certain potential Honeypot path!

This rounds out the 0.9 dev cycle which has brought you:

-Enhanced and upgraded Acting paths!

-The Big Event! Will Claire find a way in? How will she approach the event if she isn't selected? How does she bide her time meanwhile?

-The Argentinian 'Au Pair' Arc!

-New and improved "bodies" selection in High School, Gap Year and University!

-Four new outfits!

-New Trait Gifs for the Pop-ups!

-New Passage Art customized to your Claire for the High School graduation scene, thanks Noice! Let him know your thoughts, this is just an example of future similar content to be added.

-65 new HD assets that cover the new breast size and many of the last elements of clothing in the game!

-Nearly EIGHTY new pieces of passage art

-All the pixel-tops have been updated for the new cup-size, shouldn't see any missing assets now!

-Claire can go deeper into her tribal status with the Ovatwa.

-A half-dozen new vignettes have been added to the European Gap Year.

-Hundreds and hundreds and //hundreds// of added speech bubbles

-Headshots for two dozen important characters used with their speech!

-Dozens of fixes to code, repairing blocked paths, and removing hard/soft locks!

Thanks to everyone who is a part of this project, we're doing our best to release as much quality content as quickly as possible (it's all of our second or third jobs!). Thank you for being a part of the community and guiding its development.

We hope more of you will join and help us keep building the world of Blue Swallow.

Let's thank the team that's put all this together:

Noice1bruh - All the HD art! -- do you love their art? Check out their <> too!

Fictionary - Lead Front-End and UX/UI. Does. It. All.

Zachari - Front-End Dev Support

LewdPirate - Our first artist and creates all our Pixel assets!

Gertan - Handles most of our Passage art!

Magisthus - Creating our headshots

CassieBare - Writer, designer, plotting and building Blue Swallow since day 1

    🗒️ What's to come in the next 0.10 release ?

Focus on Act I -- pushing forward with the content in Act I ( a few more days of work) with some ancillary attention given to an HSV or two.

Personalities! We'll implement and re-write the current content with an eye to three new 'sliding-scale' personality types for Claire: Prude/Normal/Slut

Act I Friends, Dating and Bona paths will be continued!

Enhancing and Expanding High School dating. Let's make it matter more.

Additional hairstyles, piercings, and a few more tattoos!!

More Piercings rendering on the doll (thinking a stuck-out tongue to show a piercing there occasionally)

Disheveled versions of clothes -- pulled-down and pulled-aside underwear, for example!

Tan-lines, as promised!

Possibly Hair variations (ever wanted highlights?)

Enhancing and Expanding the 'family' aspect of the Prologue to give more character and specificity.

 If we do get a boost of support (hell, if all Free members joined at $1, we'd nearly double our ability to pay contractors and focus on this game), we'll likely be reducing the cost of our upper end tiers, but we'd need to see consistent, unflagging support. Quite a few join, grab a release and go, which makes us sad Swallows.

We sincerely appreciate the continued support and want to give back! Thank you!
