News Update: Part 4 Progress and Plans for Chapter 2
🕑 Added 2025-01-07 07:05:27 +0000 UTCTLDR: No firm release date for Part 4 but major progress art wise. Lots of Chapter 2 details
To start off the year right we wanted to discuss what we've been cooking up for Part 4 and also the preparation for the real big update with Chapter 2. Due to IRL circumstances our artist has had to move new places but luckily before they were in the process of moving they managed to finish about 80-90% of the needed artwork for Part 4, which means we'll be able to really start on Chapter 2 even sooner. But first let's go into a bit more detail on what we're aiming for with Part 4.
The Syndicate arrives to Cyberia!
Chapter 1 Part 4 will be taking off immediately at the end of Part 3 with the arrival of the Syndicate and the immediate danger that'll bring towards our main cast. It will be a similarly sized update to Part 3, but this one will be focused on the setup for the next major section of the game in Chapter 2. In terms of what we're aiming for content wise:
-1 new background
-2 NSFW scenes
-1 new song (not guaranteed but we're hoping to include it)
-1 new minigame
The gang will be working together to deal with this new threat in preparation, and they'll finally be making their way towards a planet that we've been wanting to introduce from the beginning of the reboot. Those who've played the original RenPy version of Cyber Rift will remember the name Fortuna, but we're going to be doing a dramatic twist on it. To leave a bit of mystery we won't explain the theme, but instead of a space station it will be an entire new planet!
Small preview on a new NSFW scene for Part 4!
Chapter 2 Part 1 will be the biggest update Cyber Rift has ever had (besides the reboot) and it will be focused on improving every aspect of the game. We'll be adding proper movement into the game and add larger environments to explore. It will also feature several new backgrounds and we're going to be frontloading the update more than we've done in the past. This means we'll be getting the majority of the backgrounds for all of Chapter 2 done upfront instead of paced out per update. This'll make future content on the world easier for the artists to focus on NSFW scenes, and we're hoping players will enjoy seeing a bunch of new areas immediately.
We're aiming for 5-7 new backgrounds so it'll be a pretty big addition to our universe! We're also aiming to add more features like minigames and really try to make the point and click feel like a big addition to the game formula. Other smaller aspects like having a way to build your relationship with the girls through gifts and dates is something we've wanted to add to the game for a while.
We'll be building up a lot in preparation for Chapter 2, but we'll keep you guys posted once we're ready to show it off!

Right. Sometimes, I forget which posts are public and which aren't.

Oh don't worry it's definitely going to be in Part 4 but since this was a public post we didn't want to show everything just yet!

Nice to get more info, and to see that there will be more opportunities for NSFW scenes. Shame that we don't get to see much more of that shower scene than last time. Oh well, I look forward to it.
