Weekly progress report + roadmap 2024

Hello guys! This week I didn't post that much BUT I ended up workinng really hard behind the scenes, of course we have the free version of Lust Survivor v0.7 (here) and I think NBNL will be out in about 10 days. Yesterday I woke up hiper motivated and today I wannted to talk about what I did and what I intend to do! So there is a lot of progress to report

This week I want to spend the first paragraph on stuff that's relevant for everyone reading, I made this roadmap for 2024, as you can see I intend to finish Lust Survivor this year, start doing the artbook again and after finishing Lust Survivor v0.8 I'll update the guides for both games. I'm aiming to finish Lust Survivor in November but I want to continue the game a little after that, let's call that a DLC. The other thing it that requieres explanation is Surste, right now it's mostly a codename (because I suck at real names) for what I'm going to do after Lust Survivor and for this game I intend to make the best game posible. I'll tell more about the game to the officers in discord (to use more that chanel) before making the public announcement in September. Lastly I'm updating the patreon page, because I haven't touched annything since we were working on Lust Colony, at least right now the new patreons will recieve an update message with the links to the latest version of each game. I'll be fixing the about section soon!

Last week I said that LS v0.8 would have a release date this week, but the comision is taking a really long time (about a week discusing with the artist because he takes about 2 days to reply per message). So I decided in the intnerest of time to focus on NBNL right now otherwise I'd spend most of my mental energy in doing nothing. Of course we'll be getting at the bare minimum 5 scenes in v0.8 some fixes to older scenes and overall don't think I'm just freezing development, as the last 2 versions we are changing the old AI backgrounds for handrawn ones and we'll be adding more visual details. So right now, we are stuck waiting for the art but it's like 4 elements at the same time instead of just the scene I've been talking the last 2 weeks, normally I'd release the game but since it's the first ending I want to make it special.

For NBNL I worked like crazy yesterday and I feel very proud about it! Right now the game reached 12 scenes, over 200 images and 14 animations of course I'm not done yet as always my minimum is 15 scenes and since I still have yesterday's inspiration I think I'll be there today. Aside from than since we are a little stuck on LS I'll comision the UI fixes that this game really needs . By that I mean a new area in the city that's just "Get married" that will show up when you get to the part that Nicole realizes she has to marry and the other needed fix it's on the stats screen that doesn't have the max levels (and I don't have the PSD file) but it doesn't have a close button either so a quiality of life change there too! And finally in this version I wanted to add at least one scene with Mia because I feel like people like her but I haven't had much content for her lately.

Finally as some patreon page info. I want to start adding those images that show the progress percentage in different areas so you can see how much both games progress in a more "objective way". I'm not sure if I woke up too motivated yesterday or if I was being too lazy but in the end I think this will be for the best!
