Debtors - Captain's journal entry

Hi everyone!

First of all, thank you for your support of the project so far. There's been happening a lot backstage and I went through a lot of changes recently,  but I owe you an update. Today's International Labor Day so let's get to work! :D 

Answering the question of expected release time: I want to have an update by the end of May. 

The good news is the game is already finished because you can go from start to canon ending. What I'm working on now is side quests, additional characters, plot branching, debugging, etc. Also, I want to finish the entire project by the end of July and start something new! 

I need something fresh to work with to fuel our... shared interests :3

YOUR ASSIGNMENT IN THE BROTHERHOOD

HB needs to increase their numbers! Help them by working as a recruitment officer! Incognito hyena males will come to the headquarters and your job would be to provide a natural selection :3 That path is available both for Paul and Claire.  Once the soldiers are recruited you'd need to go as a diplomat to a weapon smuggling gang to negotiate a deal that would provide HB with firepower. Vito's team is preparing for something BIG :3

SLAVES OF THE GOAT

If you ever wonder if there's any supernatural power in the world of Debtors the answer is yeeeeessss :3 Meet Balthazaar and Cassandra from an ancient cult of Slaves of the Goat. An occult, mysterious religion and magical tradition with its roots reaching back to the earliest civilizations on Earth.  Make a deal with dark powers that will help you to solve your debt problem with surprising ease but as always... freedom is not for free!

BIG WHERE IT MATTERS

Meet Chi, a local micro-bandit terrorizing Paul and Claire's apartment! Despite his small size so natural to his species, he's a crazy bastard. The advantage of having him around is he's probably the best-informed person in the game. For some reason, he knows everything about everyone. The only thing you can be sure he will demand a decent reward for sharing his knowledge  :3

DECENT WORKPLACE IS BACK!

I know it's been a while but I need to somehow expand a storyline of a "decent work" path. Lustaco Inc. is the only reasonable employer in the town. And Francis as the owner of this evil corporation is more than willing to use his power to exploit the difficult situation of his fellow citizens. Meanwhile, Beverly is still that opportunistic hedonist using her charm to control everything from the backseat of the company :3

GO OUT AND EXPLORE THE WORLD!

New way of world navigation. What I'm planning is to walk around the places different places. And your staircase will be the main hub allowing you to go everywhere but also some part of the plot will take place here :3

DRAMATIC ORIGINS OF THE CRIME LORD

I don't want to spoil it too much but let's say Vito's family life was rather... complicated. Answering possible questions: yes, these are Vito's parents. At least some of them are...

UNIQUE ENCOUNTERS ARE BACK

Francis and Tanner are back! And they are here to rail our main protagonists even more. Hyena Brotherhood's representative will visit Paul to check his progress in paying the debt and remind him what happens if he won't pay it on time. And Franklin? Franklin's simply horny and Claire finds him cute! xD

CLAIRE'S GYNECOLOGIST

Many of you asked to have some way of a positive outcome of Claire's pregnancy. Welcome to the gynecologist's office! Here a handsome stud doctor will provide you with a screen with an overview of all Claire's "achievements" like number of interecourses, fathers statistics, etc. More details soooon :3 Also, if you're a good girl you potentially can have a one-one-one session with a doctor!

OTHER PROJECTS

I'm currently practicing 3D as a good tool to increase efficiency! Not only it can be applied for new game projects but also can be used the same way as I'm currently doing backgrounds - 3D renders stylized in 2D software to reflect my drawing style :3 So recently I've been practicing a lot and soon I will have a few new characters available.

Thank you again for staying with me and showing your support! As always I wait for your thoughts, suggestions and feedback!

I wish a wonderful time to all of you! <3
