Dev Plans (February 1st - April 1st)
🕑 Added 2025-02-04 03:44:36 +0000 UTCHello Backers!
With the latest release Dungeon 4 was brought to the fold, with a few new characters (Nora, Leila, Isabella) making their appearances and a whole new area, the Red-Light District starting to get implemented. This area will usher in a new breed of deplorable content with drugs, gambling, prostitution, and other nefarious activities going on behind the scenes, with 3 main leaders behind each branch of activity.
Meet Nova, Elaine, and Xenos. I spent a decent amount of time planning their abilities and their overall dynamics with one other and am happy with how they turned out. Just be careful not to get on their wrong side. These 3 characters also happen to make up the last main side-character slot, completing our cast!
Anyways, this release introduced Nora, an ally to Emma and one of the few people she has on her side. A cranky body-swapper with shadowy abilities. Her design turned out really nice and I'm happy with how she fits into the cast of characters.
Nico is sidelined for a bit dealing with some lustful urges, but he'll be back shortly I'm sure.
(Also the intro skip caused a lot of bugs. Sorry about that. It should be mostly good now though hopefully.)
With all that being said, let's move onto this next release!
1. Side Content: Red-Light District Implementation
First and foremost before I continue moving on with the main-story, it's important that I actually flesh out the areas before and during it. This means that dungeon 4 will not receive any new story content the next update. Instead, the time will go to implementing a much more story-rich and complex environment in the Red-Light District. Much more so than the City. With this there's a few main things I'm looking to add this next release.
Implementing the Casino
Implementing the Strip Club
Implementing Drug Den + Drug Dealers (Addiction Mechanic) (Not 100% sure if the addiction mechanic will be added this release.)
Implementing a LOT of NPC's and sprites with dialogue
The Red-Light District has a lot of planned content and I'll be implementing the base for that future content.
2. Side Content: All Side-Characters
This one is pretty self-explanatory, but for this release I'll be doing a new event for every single main-side character. This has been a long time coming but I think every 3-releases I'll do something like this.
This probably will take up a decent chunk of time but I think it'll be nice.
3. Side Quest: Abandoned Hospital Exploration
The dev poll backers have voted! The next side-quest to be added will be the Abandoned Hospital. Two woman along with Emma enter a hospital and slowly start acting more and more strange. Wonder why.
4. Guidance Bear Enhancement
I need to make his menu pageable and then add the side-characters that aren't in there yet. Pretty simple, kind of tedious. Should be fun.
5. Implementing Backers Choice
As always I'll be implementing the backers choice. A backer requested it so I'll give the top 2 winners two events instead of one this release. Definitely seems like it'll be Mystery Emma and Aurora at the moment, but we'll see.
Anyways, after this release it'll be back to main story content probably. We'll see how far I get in the side-content implementation.
Thanks again,
TDL

TypeError. Cannot set property '_status' of undefined (Is in the last scene of labrinth when Emma meet Neith)

Sorry I'm not too sure what you mean. What's the error you're getting?
Shinji
About this (Walkthrough ID:8 - A Forgotten Labrinth), there is encounter ERROR to ending quest freedom and mind control route, where is the problem ?
CheeseDrake
It does ease my mind, actually. Thank you for replying. As long as it doesn't get into "depressing ending" territory, I am willing to give that content a try. :)

Hoping for more skinsuit content ❤️
Ren Assbell
would there be any way to swap outfits such as using the chapter 1 dungeon outfit or chapter 2 dungeon outfit more often? I really loved chapter 1's outfit
TheDarkLight
Understandable, it'll be completely optional content so you won't be forced to play through it. The drugs are more fantasy as they're created by a special ability and have unique properties, but realistically it's hard to separate completely from the connotation addiction has.
TheDarkLight
No probably not.
TheDarkLight
Everything in the red light district will be avoidable and optional, but it's not anything like real drugs if that helps ease your concerns.
CheeseDrake
Drug addiction? Didn't expect this game to go for such a dark direction... Really hope it'll be avoidable content.

Those examples are more fantasy than drug addiction which is very real. No doubt it will be handled fine but drugs lack the whimsy of a horny ghost possessing you. I think it’s just because I like Emma as a protag and the spiral into drug addiction feels a lot more serious than what we’ve had so far.
Connor Butters
we're already mind controlling, forcefully possessing and threatening to erase emma's own identity but the drug usage is the hard line we must not cross. i'm sure it won't be as dark as you're thinking though
uber
The drug stuff is a bit dark tbh
J
Will there be an dungeon where Emma gets changed into like a werewolf or something corruption like that.
