if you'd like, another chunk of scenes went through the grinder this past week. I'll be keeping things in the intro short again -- I'm sure you want to jump right into it!
Part X Progress!
January 25th: that's Part X's release date. After many months discussing with others and pondering how to approach release dates, I've decided to give this method a try. Here goes nothing!
This date was developed with the following factors in mind:
- Remaining rendering of scenes + sex animations
- Remaining writing (dialogue/hardcoding)
- Post work including graphics and music/audio additions to sun/dance/end segs
- An absurdly large time cushion slapped on, ensuring if the game is released on a day other than January 25th, it's BEFORE rather than after
The primary goal I seek to accomplish with this date is to exceed expectation. Since last year's beginnings, the opposite has been true with most releases falling 24-48 hours after the given release date due to a conservative, naive estimate on my part. If I'm going to miss the mark for Part X, as in release on a date other than January 25th, it will now be before rather than after.
Heave ho! As always, I will continue to update you weekly on Part X's development and sneak in a few secrets, plus all the character polls, pinups, previews and other stragglers I post. For many, the mentioned weekly content doesn't have an equivalent value to what they pledge; if you also feel this way, I fully support rescinding/holding on to your pledge until you personally feel I can provide that value. For many, understandably so, that's when Part X is released.
Whether you decide to stick around for the preparty, for every last firework or show up the day of, I can't wait to share with you the Act I finale and what it's become. You've offered me both your support and patience, allowing me to flesh the dance out with the amount of content a finale truly deserves. I thank you for that gift once again, hoping you'll join me on the dance floor with a pretty lady or two. :]
Part X Content!
One of my favorite parts of both collection and choice-based games is the totals screen. For this game specifically, it will tally the many variables you've collected throughout the story, such as relationship points and pivotal decisions. Those seeking to review their actions at the end of Act I, both depraved and virtuous, will be thoroughly amused!
Of course, the particular ending you choose will directly tie into the totals screen. Some are hesitant to move from the platonic relationship phase and will aptly receive confirmation of that when finishing Act I. Of course, it's never too late to move from one phase to another, perhaps if those with uncertain thoughts change their mind next act.
Others, likely in the majority based off polling, will be advancing to the romantic phase with the main pairings in both campaigns. Both Act I's ending and Act II's beginning will reflect that decision, Act I's totals screen giving you a unique title describing your actions/relationship with each main lady. Along with the endings, I encourage you to explore the various total changes caused by your mingling in the story!
Let's switch gears a bit. Tomorrow, I'll be posting more CE Previews (previews of future in-game CE content) of busts. They'll explore both ends of the spectrum, regarding the gals you care most about.
Later this week, I'll be firing up the pinup factory again; the polling I conducted decided
The Matriarch & The Deviant to be the priority pairing, so that'll be coming up first! Since the pairing following that is already assumed, I will throw up another CE Club poll to decide what the third pinup pack will be. Don't miss it if you enjoy having a hand in choosing naked ladies! :]
