Strangers on Paper - DevLog #16

Hi, everyone!

We hope you’ve been doing well! We’d like to let you all know of things that are coming your way these upcoming weeks. We’ve been preparing some content we can’t wait to share with you, such as:

• “DAZ and Visuals”, a guide by Grogu based on his experience with the software.
• Dev Logs on character creation and notes on Chapter 2’s development and overview.
• News regarding SOP’s journey to Steam.
• “A release date for Chapter 2”. Okay, I got carried away with the quotation marks there, but I’m personally very excited for this one.

Patreon-specific content:

• “A note for Tony”, a chance to have some of your words of positivity be included in Chapter 2 of SOP (available for Strangers and above).
• A Behind-the-scenes article about the use of different environments in SOP (Acquaintances and above).
• Some Becca goodness - we’ve only realized recently that Amy has ruled the past two weekly renders, so we’re switching things up a bit (Friends and above).
• Previews of renders and content we have been preparing for Chapter 2 (Friends with Benefits and above).
• There’s now ONE free spot in our “Childhood Crush” tier! If you’re interested in getting a printed render in the form of an instax - like the ones in the picture below-, do check it out.

On a more personal note… I don’t know, dudes. Writing this list up feels insane when we both still feel like we’ve no idea what we’re doing. It’s not just a feeling really, we’re taking things a step at the time, always trying to figure out how to handle things in a way that feels authentic to our vision, but sometimes we just get tired of being flawed humans, with flesh and bones and irregular bursts of productivity, anxiety and insecurity.

The good part is, once I express my frustration out loud, and I get same’d back, it doesn’t seem like that big of a burden anymore.

Anyways, I hope you’re having a great day and get excited for what’s to come! We’ve been making stupid rat noises of enthusiasm ourselves, so we expect nothing less from you all.
