Development Update #4 - September 3rd, 2018
Patrons only
Sep 3 at 3:00pm
Hi guys!
In this post we’re going to share some important details as we begin to reach release time. We’re of course going to start with the most important news: release date!
Episode 1 will be released in approximately
two weeks!
This is just an approximation for now, as we’re having to factor 5 days into that time where Rob, who does the rendering, will be AFAK (away from keyboard) for his birthday holiday from next Monday. That will mean we have no choice but to lose five days of render time. It’ll be a much-needed break, though - the first 5 days in 4 months that he hasn’t spent on High Life. (4 months and 4 days, to be exact.)
In that time, the rest of the team will still be working on finalising the script, the website, that week's development update and will begin work on the storyboard and script for Episode 2. And of course, you will continue to receive bonus content and sexy previews, so look out for those!
Ultimately, the aim is for the disruption to be minimal and not impact too heavily on our release window. If you don’t notice we’re a man down, then we’re doing alright. We’re working flat out to get as much done as we can before rendering is paused, but that 2 weeks could become 3 if anything unforeseen occurs.
Long-term release plan
Right now we're creating the game with a maximum of
two months between releases. Once we gain more support and are able to render faster, we aim to cut that time down, so that we release new Episodes
every month.
Fetishes
Finally, a few people have come to us with questions about the specific fetishes we have planned. Short of providing a long list, we think it’s easier to just imagine the kinds of scenarios that an 18-year-old girl about to be independent for the first time is likely to encounter. So think experimenting with girls, threesomes at parties, pushy boys wanting to try anal, learning to squirt, creampies and the risk of pregancy, and so on. If Eleanor gets accustomed to any of these fetishes, she may explore them further.
For instance, if anal becomes something she enjoys, she might like gaping or letting a girlfriend lick her ass.
There will of course be events that don't normally occur in a girl's life, like Anne/Eleanor domination (both will have the opportunity to dominate), but these will be incorporated into the structure of the story. In terms of broader themes, Eleanor can also engage in interracial and of course lesbian relationships.
Some other fetishes that we have planned are public sex, lactation, BDSM and bondage, and voyeurism, to name a few that at this stage we can see ourselves incorporating further down the line. We’re considering watersports as an optional fetish, but we don’t know if you guys would be into that. So let us know, and we will release a poll when it comes time to including it!
As we get closer to release day, we'll continue to share more info about the game and the story.
Thank you so much everyone, and remember to comment if you have anything you want to share or suggest!
