v0.1.2 Public Version Released!

Scarlet Law
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

Hey Folks on Itch,

So I really wanted to get something out for you guys before the end of the month. My scheduling will be busy this week, and I'm not sure how much work I'll be able to get done on the game.

Something that I've been thinking of a lot recently is whether or not I should do weekly updates. In one way, it'll be great to get more exposure from people with more updates. But on the other hand, I don't want you kind folks downloading update after update and only seeing maybe a handful of new scenes. I think if I were in your shoes, I'd be slightly annoyed by it but I'd probably just wait a few updates before downloading and playing.

That being said, I'm very happy with the amount of work I got done for 0.1.2. In this update, we introduce one new H-scene for Silvia... One scene for Serena... One scene for Estelle... and 2 new characters. I've also changed Makoto's outfit. Looking at it over, I really wish I had more time this week to add more content. But as I've said previously, I wanted something out before the end of October.

Another thing I've been wondering about is if the grinding is too much. In my opinion, I don't think that it's too bad but my gaming experience is obviously different from yours. So far, it takes three days to reach 9 affection and about $1,000. To reach $10,000 (which I'm currently planning for one of the characters), it will take about 10 days. That's not TOO bad, right? I don't want to make the amount for the contract TOO low because it simply doesn't seem that realistic... Then again, making $1,000 by doing 3 odd jobs per day isn't that realistic at all either... I'll be making a poll later to see what you guys think.

One last thing I want to clear up. If you've played the game, you should have noticed that there are some "hidden stats" that you get from talking to the girls. At the moment, these stats don't do much except increase the amount of money you get from working. For instance, working at the store gives you money that's increased by your "charisma stat". I've only been asked this question once, but I figure I should clear it up here.

CURRENT VERSION: 0.1.2

Update:

  • One new H-scene for Silvia
  • One new scene for Serena
  • One new scene for Estelle
  • Introducing two new characters
  • Makoto's model has been updated
