0.17 Progress Report

The site is done!

EROS HQ goes live with 0.17.

WHAT'S BEHIND THE DOOR

The site reads your 'clearance' and serves you your version (early release, public release, whatever aligns) — no hunting through post history for the right link, no wrong-version downloads, no wondering whether you're on the current build.

For every supporter tier, that means two things waiting for you the moment you sign in:

The early access release — the newest build for our veteran supporters, playable in the browser the second it's live.

The current live release right there alongside it. Hotfixes drop? You'll find them live on the site, ready for you!

The public build for everyone else.

And if you'd rather hold a copy of your own: downloadable zips of your version, yours to keep, play offline, back up, whatever you like.

It's been the biggest single piece of technical work happening this cycle. Thank Zachari!

THE DATES

August 2 — Public 0.15. Free build, everybody.

August 5 — 0.17 early access AND EROS HQ (the website build), together.

NEW ART

Three new pieces of passage art this week, and they earn their rating — Datu's path and Zohran's -- honeypot content getting the illustrations they're owed. More will come in future releases.

Also in: HD assets for the new hair styles. The doll keeps getting sharper — every style now rendering in full resolution instead of making do.

That's on top of the twenty-five passage art pieces from last week and LewdPirate's ongoing doll work. A very strong art month!

CLUB WORK DAYS + NATE'S ARC

Another day has been integrated along all three tracks and the drug undercurrent is going to reach a higher peak -- no pun intended.

Nate's arc is reaching its peak as well with a planned resolution in the next couple releases. I hope you've been enjoying it. Claire sure has ;)

One week. Then the doors open.
