THE INN - MAY 2022 DEVLOG AND PREVIEWS!
🕑 Added 2022-05-15 22:18:46 +0000 UTCWhat's up everyone?
Starting this month, every 15th will have a devlog post where I'll talk about the state of the BETA currently being worked and also show some previews.
If you remember from 0.07.04, Mike and Joana started to enjoy their day off and the first stop is at a Spa!
Last BETA had 2 events, one introducing the Spa to them and another one where they're getting ready for the first event in their day off, the sauna.
So, the BETA I'm currently working (0.07.05) will start from there and will have 2 new events, one in the sauna and other in the hot springs. Those two events are somewhat long (+3k words of dialogue each) and will ramp up the sexual tension between Mike and Joana by a lot.
Both events will present a side of Joana that she tries to repress deep down but is ready to come free at any small oportunity. I'm having lots of fun writting and creating the assets for it.
Also on the topic of writting and dialogue, after some feedback from you guys, I realize I tend to portry Mike as a very neutral character, to the point that some people see him as someone that just gets pushed around and, in some situations, is nothing more than a stuttering moron.
I agree with that sentiment and, I think, it happens mostly because I tend to base Mike too much on silly ecchi harem protagonists, and also trying to make him feel like an endearing moron.
What I didn't realize is that he can be an endearing moron while still being assertive and actively pursuing interactions with the girls.
So, from this BETA forward, I'll start to slowly make Mike a more proactive person, making him more assertive and level headed, while also giving the player more agency on how he'll react to certain situations (that's mostly done for the people that actually liked Mike's moronic, stuttering antic).
You may have noticed some glimpse of this during the dressing room event as that was around the point where I started switching the writting for him.
Anyway, enough talking and rambling, here are some previews of the evens for this update:
By the way, did you know that these previews were released early in a special channel of our Discord server?
And that's it for this Devlog! I hope you enjoyed the previews and they made you even more eager for the next BETA!
Have fun!

But when will we get to see an Inn? Can we maybe at least visit one?
