May Update Post
🕑 Added 2023-05-27 00:50:08 +0000 UTCHi guys ! Poll's results are in. Let's talk about how side jobs will be implemented in HC2, overral game size and some other stuff
First, and probably the most anticipated change: Side jobs 2.0 will be added to the game, players now have the option to Resist or Seduce instead of mindless clicking through pics. Each client has a Lust stat that will be increased based on the chosen action. These girls also value heroes with a healthy body, so be sure to invest in VIT if you want better results and more generous tips.
Besides all that, horny girls tip better, so it might be a good idea to keep them on the edge if you wanna MAKE SOME FAT STACKS. Just be aware that reaching climax as a Hero still means a considerable gain in Corruption and no payment, so keep your own desires in check.
I also had plans to introduce a loyalty system for the Tavern, but that eventually got scrapped in order to avoid adding too much unnecessary complexity. Instead, tying benefits to VIT gives a greater incentive to this attribute that has been somewhat neglected and simplifies things.
For starters, 2 full sets of simple jobs were added, which translates to 12 girls in total.
On another topic, all images were converted from .jpg to .webp, this reduced the overall file size from 138mb to 78mb. This process was made manually and individually to ensure that any loss in quality is barely noticiable. From now on, all new enemies will have their images converted, the idea is that each new enemy occupies around 2 mb of disk space.
That's already a big difference in file size, but it should be even more significant in the future when the total number of enemies hits triple digits.
Some other additions involve new enemies, equipment and everything you're all used to.
This month was pretty smooth in terms of development, I just need a few days to finish an enemy and playtesting, so we can set the release date a little earlier than usual: June 3rd.
Last but not least: Thanks to everyone who participated in the poll. Even though I wasn't able to reply to comments, I'm always happy to read your thoughts.
Please feel free to comment or ask questions about the next patch.
Have a great weekend !

Really looking forward to d4 too! Althought I'm holding back to see how's the endgame will be like 👀 While Hero Corruption 1 had a linear format, I intend to make HC2 more "open-worlded", meaning there will be multiple regions with similar difficulties, and that opens up space for hundreds of enemies

Thank you, EXTREMELY excited, can't wait for the 3rd! I will be taking a break from Diablo 4 to play when it drops, haha. Also, are you really planning on over 100 enemies? That is so amazing!
