Status update #16
🕑 Added 2020-11-23 12:38:37 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
It's Peter!
It's time to analyze received experience, get lessons from it.
Also it's time to form list of what will be added in next release.
First of all - I want to thank to our dear patrons, who donate to our project. Every $/€/£ that You donate to this project is very important, since it help us to make new content and improve existing content. Thank You!
Special gratitude to people from Discord and F95 forum, who pointed on my mistakes and reported about bugs! I appreciate any criticism, that have argumentation, and it helping me to do things better and fix project in general. Thanks to You I understand that I need to hire people to do intense test of all new content before I submit even release for 10$ patrons!
So there are few things that I want to say:
It was very buggy and broken in moment, when it came out(and even till today's release).
For next release I'll hire few people to test our project and catch all possible problems before people will see build. Of course our 10$ supporters will have access to that builds too as promised in their tier.
Most things, that I read was "game have a lot of potential", "need more lewd content", "make less story and more action", "work on bugs", "make tutorials", "I love your art".
I said many times, that I want to make good game. But 1 year passed, and I'm kinda disappointed about result and success, even if it's logical results. Those who follow us from beginning know, that a lot of bad things happened inside my team from beginning I was forced to replace artists at least twice, but negotiated with dozens of artists, same about writers, got scammed when looked for programmer (thanks to user from Discord who helped me to solve the issue), I got Covid-19 in Summer, didn't know what to do with resources that I have(since we obviously need far more than we getting now), and a lot of other sad things happened during this year. And all of it I faced while I was green and new to game development and to do something on my own. It resulted in not too popular solutions like we have now with sketches instead of full-color arts.
I still can't get our art to full-color I asked TAO to count how much it will costs... our project just don't receive needed amount of money to make it at least now...
Now I slowly understand how things works, learned how not to burn myself, and I have You, who cheering me up, support me and believe in this project!
I opened discord channel where You can share and describe all your ideas and suggestions or fantasies about or project. Also I reading carefully all of it, and make notes.) Also I'm reading all Your comments of itch.io and F95.
About next release:
Next release will be focused on corruption system and actually NSFW content.
I see that story and other interesting elements can wait a little, but this game need more NSFW content, and implementation of corruption system. It will include rework of bar side job. Right now I'm figuring out where and how I want to implement it. It need good placement and it should looks good. Right now I'm writing some stuff, but it's too soon to tell something about details, since it's very raw. Also to make all of it we will require new location and scenes.
I'll try to make status update every week from now so You will be informed about our progress.
With Love
Peter
