Release Day + Progress Report

0.9.2 for Origin

0.9.2.1 for Dossier

Looks like new Tattoo Options and tanlines are going to win the poll with new Piercing options coming in a close third. We'll get cracking on those shortly.

Also, we're aiming for a 0.9.3 release next week ideally!

In other art news, we've got a look for Lori (below)! What do you think of her? Euji, Anika and Sakura coming up next.

Also, here's another sneak peek at a bit of passage art from a sex scene in Act I (below).

Have you encountered that scene?

Speaking of sex in Act I, let's do a poll and see who everyone's favorite partner is so far. (This is an abbreviated list of the possible partners, too!)

Release Day + Progress Report

0.9.2.1 for Sudden Agents+

0.9.2 for Dossier

Writing/re-writing/upgrading the Acting arcs in the Prologue has begun. Gonna be expanding and proofing the existing content while adding a couple more vignettes for performative Claires out there.

We'll also be releasing another Quick Start Claire on 0.9.3 -- Music/Rock Claire. Still working out the kind of girl that she is, but I'm thinking a more 'girl next door' normal girl which is different than the virginal, hyper-sexual and bisexual Claire's that we've had in the Quick Starts.

Art-wise we've added another ten or so pieces of passage art. Here's a preview of some great work by Noice (check it out below!) to be added in 0.9.3.

Noice has also rounded out almost all the HD art (another 60ish assets!), just the new cupsize for the tops to finish up alongside the couple new outfits from the Argentinian gap year.

As we go into May, I'm going to be asking LewdPirate to give us some variations for Claire's looks. So let's have a Poll as to what you'd like to see most:

Release Day + Progress Report

0.9.1.1 for Dossier

It's been a lot of writing over the past couple weeks. One of the most difficult aspects of approaching this release has been where to draw a line in the sand. There's a TON of content between the approach, waiting, event and outro, so it certainly needs to be split into a couple releases. So as I've written, I've been trying to find the most natural place to put a release break. As I mentioned the last progress report, the structure for the Big Event has evolved into the following:

-The nights up to the event, whether or not Claire reported in and whether or not she's working it. Which means there's a couple small bifurcations and one larger one: Does she try to get herself picked if she wasn't selected beforehand.

-This is then split up into the three sub-paths: is she a working girl? bargirl? dancer?

-Then there's the day 'of' the Big Event with an EROS check-in and plan of action (if she reported in to them first). If she's not working the Big Event, she can make a choice of how she wants to approach being an agent in the field on that evening.

-The night of the Big Event. Either as an agent in the field operating on the outside, included in the Event and operating on the inside, OR blissfully unawares of EROS' desires and potentially just working a night at the club or at the event without contact with the agency. <-- Heading into this portion is where it seems to be the most natural break between 0.9.2 and 0.9.3.

-Wrapping up the Big Event. Checking in with EROS or not, confirming results and next steps.

Meanwhile (when my brain needed breaks), I've gone through probably 15,000 or so lines of code and added in missing speech bubbles. That's over half of the existing Club portions and will likely be hitting some more stretches. Soon there won't be any missing sections! I hope this cleans up the play and makes it more interesting on the eyes, easier to read and comprehend.

AND There was one bargirl event that hadn't been added to working at the Club that I'm in process of including.

On the art end of things: we've finished up the last of the new outfits for the au pair arc. It's a sexy little 'roleplay-ey' kind of thing for Claire's wardrobe. A hint of Mary Poppins and whatnot.

All the pixel art for her clothing has been updated to include the new cupsize, HD art to round out in the next month or so.

I've also gone back to the contractor that has been working on Claire's mom and we're going to get her headshots in the game as soon as the work is done. Lots of variations, depending on how Claire looks.

Long story short: probably a couple more days on 0.9.2, which currently has 3 new sex scenes (multiple variations within) and the test run of the Personalities! Because of the latter, new games will be necessary, so I'm going to try and run through and update all the Quick Save Claire's for 'easy access'.

Thanks for your patience!

0.9.1 for Sudden Agents

I'm wrapping up the writing on the Au Pair arc and I'm going to be asking you all for some input on what the unique outfit for Claire should be. Couldn't come up with something on my own that fit the following vibe: Winter + Hot. Any thoughts? Post them in the Discord!

Fictionary has started work on a new UX/UI which will switch over in the transition to the main game. Should be a great shift in feel. He's looking to show an initial prototype during this dev cycle.

Noice is back at the passage art additions, what do you think of the early look?

Progress Report

Yesterday (Release Day!), we dropped 0.8.4.1 for **Origin. We hope everyone's enjoying that release.

I've been quite sick the past couple weeks, and the 'RPG'-open for the Prologue is a lot more involved than we were expecting. (Who woulda known there were a lot of interrelated stats and choices?!)

Still, we're trucking along. Here are some images from an Alpha version of what we're working on.

With 0.8.5 there will be three ways to start the game:

-- The standard Prologue into the main game, full of written content.

-- The RPG open where you'll skip a lot of the youth section and end up right before the HSVs and significant other selection. You'll be making a lot of choices and see the stat reflections right away, but without the content and context.

-- The Skip-Prologue where you can take a pre-gen Claire right into the main game.

This should provide players with the breadth of options for playing the game depending on their preferences.

We look forward to releasing it for you!

Release Day + Progress

0.8.2.1 has been released for Dossier tiers.

In the past week, I've built out a couple things for the upcoming 'big event' in Act I:

The selection of which employees at Club ZZYZX are going to be taking part of the upcoming event. This is (mostly) based on Claire's current success as an employee at the Club.

If she's not selected, there will be ways to nudge her way in that will be added piecemeal, but at least one will be included in 0.9 alongside the event.

Reporting in to EROS about Claire's accomplishments to date. This will open up avenues for continuation of spy paths, some with EROS support, some on her own.

Depending on how much she reports in, she'll gain standing within EROS which will be a factor in what EROS is willing to do for her in the future.

My focus is the Loser arc now. I'm aiming for the release of 0.8.3 next week.

As mentioned last time, there will be four new outfits; all accessories for purchase in the Act I Mall; all the skills and traits have GIFs that will appear in pop-ups when they are improved/used in the game.

Speaking of Act I, what would content would you like to see slated for 0.9?
