0.9.4.1 Release

We were hoping to have a confirmation that all the fixes allow access to the current content but our playtesters must have been busy. That being the case, we've decided to release the hotfix (hopefully with everything working!) to all supporters, Origin+. This version includes the massive amount of bug and content fixes as well as the new additions to art that were going to go into 0.9.5, but we figured, eh why not!

In the meantime, I've continued working on the Big Event and the myriad paths and opportunities it holds.

We've got a fire Blue Swallow theme song that may get added into the 0.9.5 release. The way I view it, the underscoring will be used in the very beginning of the game and at important junctures, while the lyrical verse and refrain will be parsed out at different places in the game (like the intro to Act I).

Noice is working on a creampie gif that will be used for when those events happen in game. This will be the first of these type of gifs that will be made to add some eye candy for our sex scenes. There will be one for different positions, types of sex, etc.

Enjoy!

Release Day + Progress Report

0.9.4 for Sudden Agents+

A big week for art: 11 added pieces of passage art and Five sexy bits of passage art in Act I (getting taken home as a bartender, the virgin, the first encounter with Callum, the office with Nino and the divan encounter). I'll tease what one of them looks like next week. Finally, we've added a new headshot for a certain someone that can be met while at the party with Nate.

Of course we're doing some bug fixes in the background -- and we have our first official playtester! That should help us surface these issues sooner and address them before you run into them. They'll also help me out with flow and opportunities for art.

Content-wise, I've been building out the intro for Claire's attending the Big Event and the initial encounters at the estate.

On a sad note, I think my laptop (where I do all my writing) is telling me it's time to move on. Black lines of death are slowly growing in number and creeping up the bottom of my screen so that might be a transition in the coming few weeks.

Anyway! Back to writing while I still have a screen to work with!

Release Day!

0.9.4 for Handler+

0.9.3 for Origin+

Our dear, talented Fictionary pointed out to me the other day that while we had planned this to be a 'hotfix' and 0.9.3.1, given how much content was in it we should really consider it a full release. Hence 0.9.4.

So what's all in it?

-Fixes for issues players were having with the 'Bodies' list.

-Fixes for some headshots not appearing correctly.

-Fixes to the Acting HSV so it connects properly.

-Adding in new tattoos for selection! An additional set or two will be added in future releases.

-Names now with Headshots! Should add clarity and help players know who people are.

-Hint added to Character Creation to highlight the Settings for HD art, dark mode, and other features.

-New passage art!

-And the content: Something like 10-20k lines that comprises Claire's infiltration with Nate at the party or with Angelo in the Club (and the ability to infiltrate the Club for 'That Door' even outside of the Big Event!). Multiple paths and results in both arcs that allow for Claires not working at the club to get something out of the Big Event. [Oh and there's an infiltration outfit for the Angelo arc].

What's next? 0.9.5

-More sexy art from Noice!

-The last Quick-Start Claire's to round out the options.

-More piercing options.

-The remaining Big Event content for all three working-Claires as well as content for Claires who aren't working the Big Event.

Then we'll close out the 0.9 arc, do a Public release and move into 0.10.

Release Day

0.9.3 for Sudden Agents

This past week I was prepping the Rocker/Music/Rebel Claire for a Quick Start. In the process, I found a number of bugs from the last release (mostly in the Acting line) and corrected those errors. So the Rocker Claire Quick Start will release with 0.9.4, since I need a working path to be able to finalize this Claire.

Who is she? She's had a rough life: broken home, her first 'relationship' was with her father, she's ostracized at school and finds outlets in ways to perform like acting and trying her hand at music. She'll be reluctant to go to Manila, so will attempt to find herself backpacking through Europe and then go to college (GDI all the way) before Nate finally recruits her.

On the writing end: the focus has been the infiltration of the Club with Angel. This will also double as a non-Big Event related infiltration option to investigate 'That Door'.

After that's complete, it'll be Nate + Claire at the party, followed by the Claire's who are working at the Big Event.

All in all, quite a bit of content to compose, but that's what's up next for me!

As far as art: we're finalizing two new sets of tattoo options. 'Bad Girl' and 'Good Girl'.

I've contracted another set of headshots, this time focusing on the Club personalities: Callum, Nino, Datu, DJDJ, Tara, and Karl.

Noice has 3-4 sex scene passages that he's composing art for as well.

On a technical note, there's been some people mentioning an inability to reach the Big Event (selected for it or not), if you're having that problem please post a save file in the bug channel so we can ensure everything is working!

0.9.3 Release!

For Handlers +

Long overdue:

This is a partial release and includes the improvements and expansion to the acting paths for High School and College -- complete with new bodies selection. The next phase of the Big Event will come shortly in a 0.9.3.1 release.

That's it? NOPE.

I'd say this is more of a technical release than content, namely:

-A new design for the 'bodies' selection adds age and ethnicity and improves the selection process -- let us know your thoughts on these changes!

-Around 30 new pieces of passage art

-~160 remaining HD art pieces for the doll (word is, they're all in!)

-New sex passage art (previously teased in updates)

-Uncapped non-sex skills -- Pussy, Arousal, Orgasms highest levels are now attainable

-Dossier improvements and clarifications -- added photos! (and a Dossier tutorial!)

-Improvements to tattoos,piercings and pubic hair selection

-Headshots for Anika, Daxa, Euji, Lori, Sakura and Emily for those whose Elle's ran off early in life

-Fixes to doll accessories

-And! Speech bubbles have been added for the entirety of High School, Character Creation and Prom! Only College remains.

-and dozens of bugfixes and QOL improvements -- thanks for calling these out!

What about the 0.9.3.1, what'll that have?

-The next phase of the Big Event for Act I. Claire will either infiltrate the party with Nate to its climax or infiltrate the Club with Angelo

-New tattoos! We're going to have three groups added to the current batch: good girl, bad girl, and special interests (dorks mostly ;) )

-Quick Start Rocker/Music Claire

Thanks again for all the help identifying bugs and confusing moments, we hope we've addressed all of them and ready for the next batch.
