Hello all, It's been quite sometime since I've said much regarding the game, Happy New Year-
That's mostly because I finally took a break from development to focus on work and my personal life. I also was struggling with some artblock; so I figured taking a break would do me some good. It did! I'm feeling more energetic and eager to get back into work- and work is what I've indeed been doing! For the past few weeks I've been putting together original tracks for the game; some art for the routes and a new button for the Preference Menu! Now the player will have the option to disable/enable NSFW imagery/content. I decided to add this for anyone who may not feel comfortable with such scenes- and simply want to focus on the rest of the story; or for people wanting to stream the game and share it with others! Granted; the game isn't a straight up NSFW title; so this option will censor a few scenes- but overall it will not impact the story or information the player is given. I've also been working on the extension + bug patch promised for last year. I have yet to have a determinate time for when this update will take place: but when I do I will of course announce it here in my Dev logs! As for the contest I hosted; I didn't really get any submissions- so for now: that is on pause!
One more thing; and this may come as a disappointment. I will be scrapping the game option to change the sex of your partner. The code is set up for it; but it is simply a fact that I would have to make double of all the partner related art, that I had to come to this decision. Possibly she could return, maybe as an Easter egg- or perhaps DLC (this is purely hypothetical thinking). But it simply is something I can't do alone. At least not in a timely manner. To make it up; here is her in-game sprite that was already drawn:
It breaks my heart to do this; because I had a lot of themes I wanted to address with her in regards to how it is growing up in a male domineered family. She would've had alternative dialogue as well- and wasn't simply a "female" gender-bent version. She would've been described as a "female rage character" and that would've been something very fun to write.
