Development Update (Patreon)
Content
Hi guys,
Work continues to progress on version 0.7 at a steady pace and it's time to give a quick update on our current progress. As I explained before, version 0.7 is all about filling in any gaps in the early game before moving into a new 'chapter' in version 0.8.
Most of our time in January was spent fleshing out the weekend events around the school and at the lake. We'll see some beach scenes with lots of girls in (and out of) their bikinis. There are some scenes in the dorms including; a movie night; a dungeons and dragons game; plus lots of little mini scenes and conversations with the girls. There will also be a couple of extra scenes for your maid Lucy at your apartment.
Now that that portion of the update is mostly complete it's time to press on with creating the punishment system for Amy and Cassandra. I've planned out their progression and I have much of their storylines written. It's time to start putting it all together and making all the animations. That's probably going to keep us busy for the whole of February and into early March. Making the animations is the biggest bottleneck that I currently have in terms of development speed but I'm hoping that having an assistant now will help speed things along.
As with Debbie and Rachel both Amy and Cassandra's punishment systems will play out slightly differently due to the girl's weaknesses with different reward scenes and different eventual roles for each girl. I'll be focusing on Amy as a higher priority and we'll see how far we get with Cassandra.
Once I have all that done I plan to spend a week or two creating a set of scenes for the English teacher Claire which will take us into mid march when we are hoping to have the release ready.
Looking forward to version 0.8 we shall make extra progress with all the girls who have punishment systems made (Debbie, Rachel Amy and Cassandra), plus we'll get a new batch of girls who will be sent to your office. Those girls have been decided by a series of polls held with our $10 and above patrons and the list will be as follows; the twins (to be punished together), Alice, Faye, Priti, Liz and new girl Zoe. To begin with we'll just have a classroom or patol scene where we catch the girls misbehaving with the option to give a public or private punishment. They'll then have a placeholder punishment scene in your office, much like Amy and Cassandra currently have. Then I'll create a punishment system for them over the subsequent few updates.
In some more general news I recently invested in a new and much more powerful computer which should really help when creating large scenes with lots of characters (like the big classroom scene) which tended to slow down my old computer and cause it to overheat and crash. It will also help with video editing, creating high resolution custom art and wallpapers etc.
