Build A9.3 Status and beyond...
🕑 Added 2019-07-21 16:02:06 +0000 UTCHi Everyone,
at this point I've made some improvements on the flickering issues and I'll be working on the battle arena's animations next. That should be the essence of A9.3... Coming in August.
This week's update will be some transitional body shapes for Olivia and more rendering of cut-scenes for Chapter 2 to publish as the August reward.
Plans for A9.4 are to introduce a new dialog option for Charlie at the gym. Enabling Oliver to ask Charlie for his own measurements. Charlie will provide insights on other characters with his answers. (ex: Oliver, your Biceps are 14" flexed, that's bigger that Ava's but smaller than Emma's)
A9.5 Should be the final major game mechanics upgrade, introducing "Gifts". At specific time in the Game Oliver will have the opportunity to make gifts (Birthdays, Holidays...)
Further builds will focus on stability and quality, for those I will require increased feedback to find the text issues (typos etc) mismatched renders and so on. One of the final builds of Alpha will include the new User authentication method, which should be much more accurate as it will no longer rely on manual updates of the player database but use automatic updates from Patreon's web hooks.
Build B10 will mark the launch of Beta testing, increased focus on application security and content, specifically Chapters, theater stories, dates and of course, weekly body shape with heights of 8' to 10' tall becoming attainable over time. Also, for the duration of the Beta test, the support tiers will be updated.
Your thoughts?

Adding new Locations and new characters bound with those locations has always been somewhere in the plans for expansion... But it will have to be after the official launch. The amount of content required in the current scope of the game will keep me busy throughout beta.
Once beta is started, there shouldn't be a need for the game data to be wiped anymore. Except one last time, right before the official launch.

Giving a cheat menu of sorts to sponsors would be a worthwhile for the beta. As excited as I am for this game, it's rather annoying and uninspiring to get your data wiped after hours and hours of play.

Sound good. I do have an idea. Since characters such as Olivia or Emma can't be love interests for Oliver (unless you want to go for incest), I do think adding a new character as a love option would be great. I know many people might not be into that and you might not like the idea, but I think a "enhanced" romance between Oliver and someone new could be great. I know you implemented dates for something like that, but I feel like there isn't enough interaction. I would like to see a new face, maybe a school crush that Oliver has, someone you can see daily as opposed to once every weekend. This can be an idea of improvement during the beta. Just my thoughts...
