New Year Update
Hi, all!
We hope you've been having a good, or at least alright, holiday season. 2020 is finally over.
From here on out, we're aiming to have new game content released every 2-3 months until we're done.
Base Game Update
Before the Expansion Pack releases, we'll have 1 more "large" base game update. Some of the key details are listed below.
- The in-game sprites are being completely recoded to allow for Boyfriend sprite customization. Whether or not you'll only have occasional opportunities to change his outfit or do it any time, we haven't decided yet, however.
- A second wave of random events will be added. These, however, are not long story scenes. Instead, they're mini-events that affect and are affected by your Boyfriend's stats. Your stats may be raised, your affection could go up or down, or maybe nothing will happen at all.
- Some story choices will be altered to also affect your Boyfriend's stats.
- Throughout the game, there are about a dozen "hidden" scene variations that only play if you have stats unrelated to your current route. Previously, we don't believe many people took notice of them, Hopefully, with the stat-related changes mentioned above, more will be able to discover them!
- Some smaller new choices will be added and older ones may be altered, once again related to your Boyfriend's stats. We're presently looking into ways to indicate that such options exist in-game, even when you don't have the points to "unlock" them.
Expansion Pack Update
The release will be split into two so we can start getting content out quicker. The Fashionista's route will be released first, then the Thrillseeker's route will be released a few months later. We'd like to have the first part out by the end of May, so the second part will hopefully be out before September.
Patreon Launch
We've re-launched the Reine Works Patreon as sort of a tip jar. Subscribing at the $8 or $20 tier will net you awesome merch every 3 months, all handled by Patreon. We've mentioned it before, but we've put so much time and effort into developing SSWK (and continue to do so into 2021) that it hasn't exactly been profitable, so any help offered is greatly appreciated.
