Log inDevelopment Log October — Susan, Lilith’s Secrets & a Little Halloween Magic!
Hey sweethearts, it’s Jesse!
I managed to pull the team away from their work long enough to gather some news for you. That turned out to be harder than I expected: I asked, “So, how are things coming along?” and they offered me a chair and started explaining the plot. Somewhere along the way, I realized I wasn’t getting out of there anytime soon. Still, I walked away with plenty of news, a few very juicy secrets, and strict orders to keep those last ones to myself. The hardest part of my job, honestly!
But there are a few things I can share…
You’ve Been Missing Susan. We Heard You!
The results of our latest poll leave no room for doubt: you want to spend more time with Susan. And who am I to argue with people who have such excellent taste?
Susan takes the win, which means she’s getting a full adult event added to the next update! The team will do their very best to make your time together worth the wait. And I’ll be keeping a very close eye on the whole process, of course. Purely for the benefit of our dear players.
And that’s not all: we’ll be back soon with more polls to help you choose Susan’s look for the event. So don’t wander too far—we still have to decide exactly how she’ll make your hearts race.
Meanwhile, Let’s Get a Little Closer to Lilith
Remember who won the previous poll? Lilith, of course! The team is currently working on her Day 26 event, and I’ve already managed to sneak a peek at the script.
Our cyborg girl certainly deserves a chance to let you get to know her better. And before you start giving me those knowing smiles… yes, in that sense too. But she also has a story she’s ready to share with you.
This will be a story event that reveals a little more about Lilith. Just how close the two of you become is up to you: the adult part will be optional.
Work on the next update moves forward every day. Scripts, scenes, renders… I drop by to collect news and leave feeling like I should be helping finish a render myself.
We Know Where This Story Is Going
A lot of this month’s work happened somewhere you can’t bring back a pretty render from: plot discussions, pages of notes, and the sometimes tricky business of tying all those story threads together.
The team has mapped out the story all the way to the end, worked through the endings for every character, and identified the gaps that still need to be filled along the way. Yes, while you were choosing who to spend a particularly pleasant evening with, entire futures were being decided over here. I hope you’ll at least appreciate my remarkable self-control the next time I say, “No spoilers!”
It was a huge undertaking. The team now has a complete picture of where Project Atmosphere is heading, and you’ll start seeing the results in the game very soon.
As for me, after everything I’ve heard, I’ll be following your theories with particular interest…
Halloween Is Sneaking Up on Us!
And of course, we wouldn’t dream of leaving you without our traditional holiday surprise!
We’ll be back tomorrow with a quick poll: which girls would you like to see in this year’s Halloween renders? Think carefully—someone has to dress up for the occasion and distract you from all those pumpkins.
I’d put my own name forward, but apparently using my position to influence the vote is “inappropriate.” So I’ll just adjust my witch’s hat mysteriously and leave you with that thought. 😉
Until then, have a wonderful weekend, sweethearts! Make some time to relax, get cozy, and treat yourselves to something nice. Thank you for staying with us, casting your votes, and looking forward to the next chapter. I can’t wait to show you everything the team has been working on.
Sending you hugs—and I’ll see you at tomorrow’s poll!
With all my love,
Your Jesse (and the whole Dr. MAD team)
