Weekly progress report

Hello guys! This week we got the first draft for the new game's MC (here) and v0.13 is going strong, this time I have more to tell you that just scene comisions. For the people that has been here since Lust Vessel the MC is based on Peter, so for now we are calling him Pedro and probably that will be his default name, probably he'll need another shirt or something because I overdid it with the blandness.

So let's start as always with Lust Survivor. I started working for real in v0.13 this week, last week was my usual one week vacation from a game after I publish an update. The changes I've been doing is balancing the game, the first change is that instead of aiming for 10 relationship points the maximum is 7, since the relations with most points at the moment are 6 and they are almost done so adding 4 events feel like just adding filler because having one "What's your favorite food" is okay but having 4 questions like that wouldn't make sense story wise or pasing wise. Right now I fixed a couple loops and added some events that will make easier to reach some scenes, like the one with Esmeralda and Brina is by far the hardest to get (I'll leave it as hard to get but not to the level it is now). I think I finished the first tedious part where I played the game took notes and replay it again but maybe I'll do that again in a couple weeks when we are almost done. Right now in the art side of things we have 3 out of 4 scenes so we should be ready by the first week of march!

About the new game, since Lust survivor is the main focus again the speed of work has slowed but I manage to get some technicall things working. On one side I was scared of the size of the game but having mostly maps (with a lot of elements) the game is below 500mb so I don't think the version 0.1 will be above 1gb. On the map side of things I'm kind of proud of how some of them are looking, the locations right now are: a lakeside town, an abandoned town near the montains with a haunted mansion and the outskirts of both towns. One of the things I want to do but I haven't done yet is to add new signs to stores in town and some graffitis in the old town because things look too clean now even after adding trash and some flies having around.
Speaking about sprite reworks from what I've talking with friends and my toughts Nicole maybe needs a differnt haircut but just maybe. Pedro needs to be a little less generic maybe another shirt or a jacket would help. Finally for Erica there is one strip of fabric covering her clevage that I think it would be cut in the final version as well as I think she shoud have smaller boobs than Nicole to add more dinamics to their relationship and more identity to each. I'm open to suggestions tough and I'll probably ask the first mates directly if they have suggestions.

Having these longer reports make me feel like I did make a lot of progress this week. But next week I'm going to the beach during the weekend so I'll be posting the report on Wednesday with a release date for v0.13!
