Hello everyone!

So after the public release of 0.1.14, I'm going to be changing a few things relating to how updates will be released.

I'm not going against the roadmap or anything that I have laid out, but there are a few things that I wish to clarify going forward.

To start, I will be gutting the save conversion system entirely. 

it is too much of a hassle to update and creates some serious problems when I'm retroactively changing old content in the game.

Instead, I will be providing saves for every update that will take place right before the new content. This way people aren't constantly having to create new games whenever a new update is released.

Secondly,  updates are about to be a lot more frequent and released in chunks. This way I have less content to bug fix every release, you guys get to see new stuff more frequently, and hopefully will allow the game to grow at a quicker pace.

What does this mean for what I had planned for 0.1.15? 

It means that I'll still be adding the first bit of the town and such. with a tiny bit of story/sexy content. Then release it in bits as stuff comes together.

The next part of the game opens up A LOT where the player is supposed to have multiple different things they could be doing at one time. But I can't make all that content simultaneously, lest the next few patches take forever to release.

So like I said before, we'll be doing it in chunks. These chunks will most likely have their story content abruptly stop before I release the other chunks. So keep that in mind.

MORE SEX!

IMPORTANT!

I also want to put more lovey-dovey in the game! 

My problem is I want the story and context to properly lead up to every relationship interaction. 

Relationships will build up in a 3-5 heart stage system. So what I might end up doing is making a room or something where you can check out some hentai scenes that are animated but aren't properly implemented in the story yet.

 And once all the story cutscenes are done, I'll stick them all into the game with a big sexy H scene cherry on top. This way everyone gets to see constant lewdness added to the game, without me abruptly ruining the flow of the story by having Annie/Roxy drop their pants out of nowhere with bad context. This way people who don't want to see the H scenes spoiled to them can simply not go into said room.

This won't always have to be a thing. Once the story gets into a more Harem-esque state, I can just put the sex in, without any story problems.

Anyway,

 I'd also like to say hello to the massive influx of new supporters and community members the game recently got from being featured on the front page of Itch!

Thank you everyone for their support! I'm looking forward to showing everyone new cool stuff and continue the creation of 

Network Euphoria!

Thanks!
