New Event Choices
🕑 Added 2025-02-28 02:11:47 +0000 UTCSo, work has been progressing well on the next update, but there's still quite a bit more writing to be done. However, at this point the information that I can share about the update that doesn't venture into pretty direct spoiler territory is fairly limited. There is one new feature coming up that I haven't mentioned at all, though - New choices in events!
A while back, I held a survey where people let me know which events they most preferred, and the consensus was pretty clear. You all mostly agreed that many of the Penitentiary events are a little lackluster, so I wanted to change that. I still wanted to maintain the fact that most of them are simple and easy to understand for new players, though, so I came up with what I believe works as a nice compromise.
Basically, the idea is that as new party members are recruited, they'll unlock more options in events, especially the ones that are currently quite limited when it comes to your choices. As an example, here are a couple of Penitentiary events (Immobile Inmate and Penitentiary Financial) where Leona's inclusion changes up the options that the party has at their disposal!
The actual options in these events were quite limited, so I felt that this idea would help to spice them up while simultaneously fitting into the narrative. I'm hoping that it'll also help the sense of progression as you recruit more party members, since the Expanse is actually being impacted by their presence. If you all end up liking this change, I'll probably do it for all future party members as well!
I'd also be willing to hear any ideas that any of you might have for additional options to be added to existing events. I haven't fully decided on which events besides the above two to expand on at this point, but Enforcers' Stash is definitely on the radar for receiving an update, so if you have any ideas pertaining to that one in particular, then feel free to leave them in the replies.
Also, the next thing that I post on here will probably be something a bit different than usual, so look forward to that!

Awesome feature, this will definetly help the sense of progression and add an extra layer of replayability when starting a new run with new party members. It might be a bit much, but it could be interesting to do this with not only certain party members, but certain combinations of party members as well. For example, the Prison Canteen event has Astrid and Sakura feeding the enforcer, but what if having Leona and Estelle in the party gave you a different scene? And if you had multiple combinations in a party, you could choose which scene you wanted.
