Weekly report 89

Added 2022-01-21 23:05:43 +0000 UTC

Hi everybody.

First, I want to let you all know that in the coming week, we'll run a poll (open to Close Friend and Best Friend tier patrons) to determine the next extra location that we will add to the game (in 0.6 if we have the time, otherwise in 0.7). We want to expand the world gradually, and although some areas will be required for each update and added by default, you can help us decide what other locations we should work on next. You can see the places here, and the poll will consist of the following locations:

-The harbor
The inn
The high district
The public garden located in the high district
The plain district
The mage district
The miller's house (village)
The twins' houses (village)

Now the report:

My plan last week was to start Rose's second quest, and I have somewhat achieved that objective, but things weren't as simple as I had hoped. After finishing the first quest, I prepared the game, updated the hints, and sent it to Chestnut to play and test it. She liked most of the events but wasn't a fan of one of the scenes that I had changed slightly from the storyboard because that didn't quite work. Anyway, I spent a day and a half rewriting and trying to see if I could save the scene, but seeing that it was taking too much time, I focused on the second quest instead, doing the first step of the think, and coding a few cutscenes that Chestnut had prepared. I intend not to go back to the event that needs to be fixed until after I'm done with most of the posing tasks since I think seeing it with a fresh eye will help, and right now, I want to advance as much as possible.

Chestnut did the test, sketched a few more storyboard panels, and then got back to her work, mainly doing cutscenes (see a spoiler here). She has also recorded a video that I will prepare and publish soon. So if you like our art-creation videos, expect one tomorrow.

For the next week, Chestnut will be working on cutscenes as usual. My goal for Jan is to finish posing Rose's second quest (not including cutscenes or sex scenes), so I will work to achieve that objective.

That's all we have, folks

Have a great great weekend
Cheers
