Hi everybody.
I hope you're all doing well and are ready for the weekend.
We've been working super hard on the 0.3 release, and are excited to share our progress and say what we've been up to:
Crystal in the bag:
We've completed both the code and the art for a new small event that will allow you to have the crystal ball in the bag.
This event will set off as soon as you go to use the crystal ball. You will not be losing the crystal ball in the chest, but instead be able to use it from the bag as well.
The bag crystal will only be used for "Help Me", and to see unlocked sex scenes or cutscenes, you'll need to visit the chest since we think it'll be a waste to make the chest obsolete.
New suggestions and polls:
Starting from next week, we want to seek suggestions from our Best Friend patrons for 0.4 content.
The first of such suggestions will have to do with critters. We plan on adding small animals to the world to interact with and pass the time (rabbits, foxes, cats, dogs, owls, otters, fishes, you name it), and we want you to suggest which will be the first. Once we have your input, we'll make a poll from the suggestions. I know WaL is a porn game, but porn-game-critters need petting too. Just to be clear: this feature won't be sexual.
Quality of life improvements:
We're done with other quality of life improvements for 0.3, as we're afraid we won't have the time to adequately test them.
There are still plenty of features that we want to add (more clocks, character locations in the crystal, etc.), but they'll have to wait for 0.4.
Progress:
Chestnut is done with most of the art, but is missing a couple of cutscenes. She also needs to redraw some scenes as she's not happy with their perspective. There are many polishing tasks left to do (for example, the sex scenes need to have their juices added to them, frame by frame in Photoshop).
My next week's plan would be to keep going through the game to edit the text here and there, look for and fix bugs, and add/fix audio files (which I had planned to do earlier).
Hope you have a wonderful weekend
Cheers
