April Progress Report and New Poll (Result - Mira Side Events)
🕑 Added 2021-04-01 18:13:43 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
April is here and progress on the Collective Mothership is underway with the first On Map Event, the Conveyor Belt. We've completed all the battle sprites and are about halfway through the On Map Event Images for the trio.
As we've been working on the same item for a month I am beginning to see a slight pattern with content fatigue that I am hoping to address sooner than later. Inspiration comes from all sorts of sources and sometimes certain ideas come to mind that would be fun to work on but given the current open item I am working on I am a bit hesitant to suddenly change course and hop over to another topic before returning to work.
There are still three images to complete after the current Image I am working on but they are all still in the thumbnail stage. What is tricky about all the current content being worked on is they will be difficult to experience out of context unless I set up a debug room for the player to view the scenes as the Collective Mothership as a whole will not be complete for some time. Given the various variables and sequences that will occur there having early access to the area may cause all sorts of bugs between the WIP builds and Milestone build.
Given this, I would like to propose working on other content such as Side Events (Mira's open items) and other things such as the Desert Bandits/Desert Path to mix up what fetish content I am working on. I've created a poll here to see what people think for options which will be detailed below:
Stay the course: Continue working on the Collective Mothership as my primary focus after finishing the Conveyor Belt On Map Event. We would be moving onto either the Cybergirls Battle Sprites/Game Over or the Bio-Entity Battle Sprites/Game Over/On Map Events (The Bio-Entity would be a content shift which would help with the previously mentioned fatigue)
Work on Mira's Side Events/Bad Ends: Change focus to implementing the continuation of the Toy Testing Side Event at Succ or Bust which would introduce the next 'phase' of employment, the Customer Experiences. This would also introduce something that some players have been asking for, choices in scenes. While the choices would be basic to start it would pave the way for future programming towards things in the future. The short explanation of this in context to scenes is while Mira is acting as a 'test subject' for some of the Customer Experiences Succ or Bust will be offering she would be given an 'inhibitor' to some of the potential permanent, long lasting side effects. Mira can choose to ignore taking this which would eventually spiral into a Bad End.
Story wise, now that Succ or Bust has sampled quite a bit of Mira's mana through her Toy Testing, 'someone' has taken an interest in Mira and is pulling a few strings behind the scenes. These would focus on Mira and writing both the experiences and her descent into losing herself to pleasure if she foregoes the safety warnings of her boss, Lily.
Work on Desert Bandit Post Game Over Content: Change focus to the continuation of the Desert Bandit Game Over which saw the trio being sold to a very eager Priestess who wanted them trained for her Goddess. This would open up the side area in the Desert Path where the "Desert Bandit Resort" where the trio will find themselves in all sorts of kinky situations. It would be similar to the Collective Mothership where you would control Mira who is trying to 'rescue' her allies to get out of the resort or just enjoy all it has to offer. Would primarily focus on yuri, bondage, and training elements.
Commissions/Personal Art Break: What it says on the tin, take a break from game assets to recharge with commissions and/or personal art similar to the Mona Genshin Impact series where I just draw for fun.

Cybergirls who are not under Selena's control will still wander the map in battle areas while the Bio-Entity will likely have its own small area to work with. The 'final boss' of the area will be after dealing with the Bio-Entity as the sub/mini boss as areas of the ship need maintenance. Various On Map Events will occur throughout exploration of the different areas.

Although it's not in the lead, I'm a bit curious about the stuff for the "stay the course" route. So the cybergirls and the bio-entity will each have their own areas? Will it be the whole shebang, with enemies, on-map events, and a boss at the end of the area?

As much as I would enjoy seeing more content in the game, I think it's important to take a personal break pretty soon. You do an awful lot of work as it is, and that prolonged focus is just going to wear you out and make you feel as if things are becoming a chore. Shift your attention for a bit, relax, and unwind! All of this will be here and waiting for you once you've had a chance to recharge.
