We've been working hard on Episode 9, so we haven't shared much in the way of plans and ideas lately. Let's fix that.
The most important: We finally have enough resources to afford an animated scene in every episode! So in episode 9 we'll have a lusty animated scene with Lina (actually two scenes, but later) and a sweet static scene with Tara. Since Tara's scene is more about her feelings and intimacy, it'll work better with text and static images, while Lina jumping on John will look much brighter with animation.
Also, in the next episode, we'll continue to experiment with the game/quest format and offer some new settings. Instead of classic RPG quests like moving the straw or catching fish (which aren't as interesting as they could be), we want to try longer quests with more text and scenario. They'll be similar in format to the Ana Forest quest, with the only difference being that they'll be more chilling. We plan to have two types of quests: more serious and important as part of the main scenario, and more fun and chilling so you can just spend some time with the girls. So there will be two chilling quests.
The first one will be about a surprising twist between Tara and Sammy, and John trying to fix it (spoiler: he won't). The quest is more in the classic VN style with dialog-choice-cutscene format.
While the second quest with Lina will be the opposite: it's based on a cooking minigame where you have to cook and serve the right dishes on time. We'll see which format people like more.
Another little experiment is to split Lina's scene into two parts. Usually we have one scene after the quest, but now we're trying to make the first scene in the middle. Both scenes will have their own animation base: in the first, Lina jumps on John's dick, and in the second, she rubs his face with booty and sucks him off.
After 8 episodes it happened (at last): in this episode, Lina will finally get her interior location for the inn, which will bring more interactions and dialog with her, and some quests will take place in the inn. Also, our first furry male character, Drake, can be found in the inn. For now, he's just standing there for players to meet, but in the future, he'll be featured in several quests.
Future Plans. In one of the coming updates (not the next one) we want to completely update and widen the house quest. Instead of earning Shells and just buying it, the Governor will ask for an unreasonably high price, so you'll have to go to Sammy and find a shady way to make money. The quest will have a Breaking Bad vibe (actually all quests with Sammy do), a new character, and the big animated scene with Sammy at the end.
Fun bonus. We're thinking about doing the sweet dreams format: when John (or a girl) falls asleep and has a sexy dream with an unusual setting. For example, John having sex with two Nairas. This format allows us to expand the scene format even more and play around with some interesting settings that don't fit into the scenario.
New game. As you probably already know, we're working on our second game - The Omega Paradox. Right now, we're tweaking the portrait of Omega based on the results of the poll, and we'll be sharing more designs soon. Work on the game itself will begin after Episode 9 is released.
