August news post #3
🕑 Added 2020-08-29 06:58:47 +0000 UTCCheck out our previous news post #2 here.
This post will assume that you've been keeping up with the previous news posts, but a quick summary. August has us working on update 0.14 which mainly features route part 1's being added for Bridget, Lola and Zoey. There will be other bits of content, but this is the main selling point.
We're still figuring out exactly what kind of content to focus our efforts on for September, so we'll have more information on exactly what to expect for that early in that month.
This will be a very brief news post, as there's not too much to mention that's new information before update 0.14 comes out on September 4th. So let's jump into it!
(1) Update 0.14 content
Set to release on Sept 4th exactly at midnight (cst). We have Zoey, Bridget and Lola route part 1's all finished up. They are in the middle of being put into the engine to be ready.
I've mentioned trying to tackle some adjustments in the last news post and so far we have 2 areas that's going to have new adjustments added.
-Day 5 punishment-
We have added a choice option for players when John begins to pull X girl up from her desk to the front of the class, the player will now have the choice to try standing up and stop him. Or you can choose to stay quiet and nothing will change compared to how it plays out currently.
-Day 18 sec 2-
We made a change to how Joey is seen during the part when he's under the table. We felt like the events that took place during this give off the wrong impression and confused some people, as to what to take from the whole event. So some changes were made to make it a bit more clear as to what's going on and that things aren't going to go in a certain direction for later in the game.
(2) Kickstarter launch news!
I've been keeping everyone updated weekly with their own dedicated posts about the kickstarter launch. To keep it simple and short, we had issues with our previous video editor and didn't feel as if it would be up to quality for what we expected.
So we're currently in the middle of reaching out to video editors, trying to find someone who can be hired to handle the trailer and hopefully their turn around timing for how quick they can finish it is quick.
I've had 2 people reach out to me and I'm in the middle of waiting on hearing back from another person still, we've had another person turn down the offer as they weren't comfortable given the context of MA. Either way, we hope to have someone hired for this trailer soon and get better rough details on our launch date in September.
-Conclusion-
I know this news post is on the small side, but there isn't too much to add compared to our last news post. We're on schedule for our release time for update 0.14 and doing some pre-planning to figure out what content to focus our efforts on for update 0.15.
Just a reminder, we'll be looking to shoot for adding music into update 0.15 and also slowly, carefully get cg scenes added on a more consistent flow for each update.
