Public Current Release

Here's where you can find the current Public release of Blue Swallow!

0.7 Public

What's different from the last (0.6) Public version?

Better UX and UI, including pop-up notifications for tests and skill-ups! Speech bubbles to break up text blocks and clarify who's talking Some improvements to flow, sequence, and writing to various points in the Prologue The Legendary tattoo from the Club HSV is now in-game! Some bug fixes in the Prologue New faces and expressions for the 'Claire doll' Implementation of some visual representations of some of our NPCS -- faces with names! More passage art!

So what are you missing out on in the 0.7.3 version?

Claire can progress through the full Prologue //and// enter the main game of Act I! Claire arrives in Manila (maybe via a misstep and other location first!) to begin the search for her mother She learns about the mission in front of her and come to terms with what that entails She can begin to investigate the nefarious Club through being a patron or trying to work there...or both! She can pursue other tacks in Manila including being recruited by underworld characters and see where that leads EROS can evaluate her abilities as a fledgling agent Claire can go through some rudimentary training with her EROS handler in four different spy 'disciplines' Claire can now start to pursue a normal dating life. Claire can try and make some meaningful friendships with 'real' friends at 'school' Quick-Start Claires! Don't want to go through the Prologue? Just pick one of our pre-generated Claires, make some aesthetic choices and jump into the spy-story! Implementation and first blush of the main-game Corruption. Under duress, Claire might crack...crack too much and the game might end! Ability to improve both Skills, Traits, and Sex Skills through use States that affect Claire -- drunk? horny? sick? tired? And most of all? The Club arcs (only one portion of Act I) combined into the largest file to date. Over 12,000 lines of code comprising so many options, paths and content to encounter!

If you'd like to continue Claire's journey, please support the game!

In supporter versions of Blue Swallow, you'll be able to progress into the main game (where she gets up to spy-stuff!) and see how the skills and traits she picked up during the Prologue character creation set her up to succeed when everything rests on her shoulders.

We've rounded out another massive push in the game and wanted to make it available to the public. Have you been curious about Blue Swallow and what the game looks like in the current iteration? This is your chance to check it out!

Since the previous Public Release (0.4), here's what's changed:

• Can experience a full Prologue of character creation.

⋅⋅* Physical Identity (what does she look like? how does she identify herself?)

⋅⋅* Growing Up (where is she from, what is her family life, what does she enjoy?)

⋅⋅* High School (what clique does she join? who does she take to Prom? how does she experience her sexual awakening?)

⋅⋅* An optional Gap Year (African volunteer? Backpacking in Europe? Swiss Finishing School?)

⋅⋅* College (Does she get in? Does she rush? What does she study?)

..* Previously existing arcs (Rebel, Popular, Nerd, Sporty, Partier, Club, Jock, and Gang) have been expanded with more color and choices.

• You can choose who her first partner is earlier and determine how much that relationship matters to her.

• Claire can become pregnant. With all the choice and problems that can entail.

• Engage in 80 (yep, nearly 100) sex scenes, each with their variations, alternative text and options based on the Claire you’ve built

..* Innumerable options, playthrough paths and choices with meaningful, content and character-altering effects

And from a technical standpoint:

• Customized Paper Doll and dozens of outfits

• Three animations

• Passage and background art

⋅⋅* Relationships

⋅⋅* Corruption and Bad Ends

With all that in the bank, what is the 0.7 version looking to add?

We'll be expanding the existing content:

• Continuation of Existing Main Game Arcs! -- This content is only available to our supporters. Join us!

⋅⋅* Investigating the Club!

⋅⋅* Infiltrating Manila Underworld!

• Indicators for stat and trait checks, so you know when you've missed some content.

• Indicators for Claire's state. Is she drunk? Aroused? You'll know when she's out of sorts and not her best self.

• Leveling of sex skills -- Claire engaging in acts will make her better at them.

• Mix-and-match clothing -- do you like certain shoes but want them to go with a certain top? Soon you can!

• More animations, clothes, and art!

0.4 Public

As we approach the final version of 0.5, where Claire is finally digging her fingers into the mission that's been dropped into her lap (save my mom, save the world!), we wanted to give a window into what the game is at its foundation.

With this version, you can fully develop your Claire. Who is she and what is she after? There are multitudes of paths and options for her, variations and content aplenty to explore before the world of the semi-open narrative of the main game takes place (0.5 is the first iteration and expansion there).

So, if you've been interested and intrigued about what Blue Swallow is, what we've been up to and what we have to offer, check this out. And if you like it, we hope you'll consider diving in and joining us in Claire's journey with 0.5 and onwards!

If you do have questions and curiosities about anything on our roadmap, please feel free to reach out in the comments below, or join our Discord community.

Fair warning: there are bugs, proofreading errors and things that have been changed with later releases (but not too many of any of them, imho).
