Dev Roadmap: v0.3 Update
🕑 Added 2023-12-26 15:48:09 +0000 UTCHello!
It's been a hectic month! We're really excited to show you what we've been up to, so let's dive right into it:
1) Our artists are chugging away at the standing art overhaul. To meet a reasonable release window, we've decided to prioritize "minimum wardrobes": a casual outfit, a superhero outfit, some underwear, and a swimsuit. The minimum wardrobes for Rogue and Jean are finished - left are Laura, Ororo, and Kurt. Never fear, we will be adding many more clothing updates in future (smaller/faster) updates.
2) Our UI designer has redone virtually every interface in the game in response to feedback from the community. It's a much more modern take that pairs really nicely with the refined art style of the sprites, and he's streamlined all of the systems to be more intuitive.
3) We've completely overhauled the sex system - you'll have to wait for more details, but the big pitch is that we've turned it into an (optional) mini-game that yields stat rewards for being a good lover. Your main goal will be to figure out what turns on which Character, something that will depend heavily on how turned on they already are.
4) I've been optimizing a lot and incorporated two large changes to game code that will 1) hopefully remove an entire group of bugs that have been frequently reported and 2) improve performance quite a bit across all systems. As such, we will be releasing a Hi-Res assets pack with 4K backgrounds alongside v0.3.
5) Finally... for the longest time, I thought it was impossible to use a more fluid animating system like Live2D in combination with our highly-customizable sprites. But I've had a big breakthrough that I think solves every problem. That's right - the next big thing coming after v0.3 is a total overhaul of animations using the power of Live2D.
Some logistic items: we're still trying really hard for early January, but the clothing items take time to get right and to make cross-compatible. In addition, because we will be changing such a large chunk of the game - in particular, new events that are only available in a given season - we have decided to untie our hands a bit and not worry about making the game compatible with old saves. Trust us, you're going to want to start a new game anyways.
Beta testing information soon!

This next update is sounding better and better. Hard to believe the game can get even better from the initial release! Can't wait for the new update! Keep up the fantastic work! Happy holidays!

Looks fantastic guys! Thanks for the good work and happy holidays! Now, I don't really agree that a total overhaul of so many things was really needed, I thought all of that was already top notch but... oh well the game will be better for it I suppose :)
