Public News: Mini-Update Details and Release Date!

So we've been a bit quiet as of late but now we wanted to give a bit of detail on what we've been cooking up! This mini-update we've been focused on adding a few features that were highly requested by fans and also tried to include a few surprises as well. On top of major improvements to the Junky minigame, we've been working on adding new items for players to purchase on the shop with the money they earned from shooting junksteroids. We've also added another fun feature: Wardrobes! Coming this mini-update we've fixed up the outfit system to become interchangeable and you can now customize the Hair, Shirts, Bras, Pants and Panties for both Fae and Everie (Elsie's wardrobe will come in Part 3).

Currently we've just added three sets of lingerie as well as some brand new shorts for Everie! We plan on adding more in the future :D

The trickiest part with getting this outfit system to work was making sure it remembers the player's choices regardless of where they are in the game. We've managed to create a system that will keep the player's selected outfits, and we're going to be adding even more in the future. Currently you won't be able to make the characters fully nude, and the reason we're not making this an option just yet is because it's so early in on progression it wouldn't quite make sense for the girls to show off everything to someone they don't know super well. However we will be giving a code for Cyber Owl tier patrons that'll allow you to bypass this and have the characters fully nude despite the timing with the story (it will be available to everyone further down the line we just wanted to give a bonus for our higher tier patrons). The system is fully modular and we're going to be asking patrons soon what types of outfits they want us to add in the future, we just needed to make sure the groundwork was done for it to work perfectly every time.

Everie's looking great in her new shorts! (we also wanted to show she kept her cyber knees from the original version).

On top of this wardrobe update we wanted to include a little bonus to celebrate Lunar New Years! We'll be giving a code to all patrons to enable some new dialogue with Junky and he'll be hiding some red pockets around the ship. These red pockets will include some money which can be used in the shop. We want to make Lunar New Years a recurring event with Cyber Rift, and we're hoping to expand on this even more next year, but we hope you enjoy the treasure hunt!

Junky's minigame got a major glow up with some brand new sprites and sound effects!

Finally we've updated the minigame to have some brand new updated sprites and a whole new way to play! Rather than being stuck to a single screen you can now roam around an area to shoot the junksteroids. Each junksteroid now has a health bar before being broken up and they can spawn 3 different types of valuable junk to collect for Junky. We want a lot of feedback on this minigame and we're happy to add more based on what you guys want in the future so please let us know what you think once it's out.

And finally to cap off this news post the mini-update will be released February 18th! Hope you guys are excited for this update and if you have any ideas for new outfits or even just ideas for the game in general let us know!
