Detailed Weekly Update - March 30, 2024
🕑 Added 2024-03-30 14:46:04 +0000 UTCHello my dear 2 Patreons! It’s almost been a week since I’ve revived High School Revenge and released chapter 3, so I think it’s time for a proper update. All Detailed Weekly Updates will come out on Saturdays, as long as there isn't an emergency or something, so I hope you'll all be happy with that.
So, let’s start with the most important news, I’ve already started working on chapter 4. For most of these week I’ve worked on figuring out how to do a random event based mechanic. The way I want chapter 4 and most of the chapters that follow to work is that players will get to choose what they want to do every week (for example work on their skills, attend a special event they discovered before, get a new ally, etc.), after witnessing the effects of their choice, they will also get a random event (for example, MC stumbles into two targets talking something private, random target invites you out for a date, etc.). The random event can be a relationship milestone event (for reaching a certain relationship level with a character), a hobby event (a significant moment for a club due to skill increase), or a pure random scene that has nothing to do with previous choices.
Here's what the weekly choice will look like in the first week:
During these weeks you can also send Burt on stalking missions. The first thing he will do is build profiles for the targets, which will appear as special pages in the stat screen with information about the targets. Using the special Burt portfolio you can get hints as to what the targets like and dislike, allowing you to choose better options in dialogue options that they might like more. Once Burt’s built a profile for someone, he can then stalk them to start getting clues that can be used in a revenge plan.
Here's how the choice to send Burt on a mission will look like:
Right now chapter 4 has 4k words written, as I’ve only had time to write one random event where you get to play 2 truths 1 lie with Isaac, Cecily, Michael, and Vivian. Finishing this chapter is going to take a while, considering how many events I’ll have to write, but I hope the result will be worth it.
I also have a to do list now of things I want to change to the first three chapters, but I’ll start working on those next week. If you have any more suggestions, make sure to mention them here or on Discord!
Thank you very much for your support and I hope you'll like what's next to come for HSR!
