Hello everyone and welcome to a new sneak peek of Lucky Paradox.

First of all, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who took the time to share their thoughts on the Kinks post. Your insights have been invaluable in shaping the direction of future content. 

For those who haven't had a chance to read it yet, I encourage you to check out the post in question. Your input is always welcome and greatly appreciated!

We are here with two more weeks of development, this time on a Tuesday, since it is more comfortable for me to do the devlogs on this day of the week. I hope this is not a bad thing for you.

I also want to change the format of the titles, since the previous format was too generic, I think that putting a more precise title will help to know what to expect before clicking on a post.

Now let's get down to the important stuff!

The new 0.9 update cycle has already started, and I am currently working on the second part of the tournament arc.

This part of the story includes a lot of development for Yui's story, rivalries will be formed and all the necessary world building elements for the later events will be established. I have to admit that this has been a huge challenge for me, as it is the Lucky Paradox story arc where we will see the most characters involved, but at the same time, I don't want it to be too long.

Currently, in writing, there are way more words than I'd like to have, making the editing process heavier than usual.

For this, I'm thinking of dividing this part of the story into five events of a moderate length, trying to cut as much as possible to make it as concise as possible, since I want to add as much development in as little time as possible, without damaging the pace I manage in the narrative of the game and, above all, that it's fun for you, which is the most important thing.

I promise that this second part of the tournament will be even better than the first one!

On the other hand, I also have planned a secondary story update for our favorite witch, Luna Blair, since it's something that players have been asking for a long time, and rightfully so, since it has TWO BIG REASONS, hahaha

Luna Blair's new content is a content update that I plan to release in the month of Halloween, as it would be more thematic with the dates, and personally, I'm looking forward to working on this part of the story, as Luna Blair is a girl that I like quite a bit.

Initially, I was planning to release these two content expansions in two separate updates. However, considering the length of the next update and a possible move (no exact date yet), I want to leave some time to 'maneuver' and avoid too many delays.

In the meantime, I've also been writing a bit of Helena and Celestine's side stories, which I would like to add at some point in this development cycle, and little by little I want to add all the side stories of the girls that don't have their own one yet.

Finally, I've been fixing some bugs in version 0.8.6, but it's nothing relevant to justify uploading a new update, currently the game is quite large and uploading the whole file to fix small bugs is quite large. It also doesn't help that I have already started with the first part of version 0.9.

There are still quite a few things in the planning that I have to adjust in order to get everything done within the deadline. Therefore, I want to take a little more time before providing a complete overview of what will come with this new update cycle. I also want to make at some point an update with general improvements for the game, with new graphics that have not been finished yet (like the Argleton map), sound effects for the erotic scenes, among other things, which I also want to share with you in the future.

Well, that's all for this progress report!

THANK YOU all very much for your support on Patreon, because, with your contribution, it's possible to keep creating content for Lucky Paradox <3
