General Update #23
🕑 Added 2024-11-20 09:31:19 +0000 UTCHello Agents!
This week we have some cool things to share with you. With the initial release of Silent Echo 0.2.0 out of the way, we've been carefully checking your feedback in preparation for the next patch.
While the patch is for the most part focused on expanding companions, we're also looking at other little fun things we can add to the game that were previously requested by you.
Aegis Skins
Many of you often pointed out that male Agent 36 has very little customisation. This issue comes from the original days of the game, back when our expectation was that most players would pretty quickly acquire enough corruption levels to acquire the feminine body type. This game was initially designed for a TFGames contest, so I would say that assumption made sense at the time.
Months later, we now couldn't be more wrong. We've welcomed a lot of players from outside the TF game space interested in other aspects of the game (who doesn't like horny latex creatures after all), or even the rise of no corruption runs, which initially was just a fun little thing added to the game to test the achievement system.
Ever since we've started work on Silent Echo v0.2.0, we've been thinking about what we can do to give male Agent 36 some drip in a way that makes sense ingame.
To fulfill that request, in the next patch we will introduce the paint system, which allows you to use alternate skins for the Aegis armor, for both of Agent 36's current body types.
Patch v0.2.1 will ship with a set of 4 paints to be acquired from different sources, with more coming in future patches as part of Patreon polls.
Animated Sex Scenes
A couple of days ago, a poll was made to gather your feedback on animated sex scenes. Thanks to everyone that participated in it!
Animations are something we've spent a lot of time experimenting with and we're glad to see it's a feature many of you enjoy.
As we've discovered the limits of what we can do with our current methodology, steps have been taken to find a new way forward that gives us more flexibility and increased capabilities for these animations.
I'm happy to announce that thanks to the increased financial support the team has received, we've been able to partner with a 2D animator capable of bringing Flaxede's artworks to life in an animation software.
The animation of Ava having her way with Fem MC (Corruption 3+) that currently was static has been updated with an animation as the first test of this new workflow, and we're very happy with the result.
Our expectation is to showcase this further with the upcoming christmas event as we plan to have all the sex scenes happening in that event to be done with the new animation workflow.
We're looking forward to this collaboration with our animation partner on Silent Echo and hopefully other future titles. Please let us know if animations is something you would like to see introduced to Starwatch Academy as well.
That's it for this week! In the next update post, we will have a look at a new (or perhaps not so new?) squad member you will have the opportunity to acquire in the next game update.
Have fun!
