Happy Halloween, patrons!
Unfortunately for you, we don't have anything especially spooky or macabre for you today. A pumpkin-head mode was a little outside our scope. Fortunately for you, you get a HUGE update this month! We'd have to check (also outside our scope) but this might be the biggest update we've done yet in terms of sheer number of things added. Every team member put in a lot of effort this month, including a team member you haven't seen in a while.
There's so much to tell you about that I don't want to spend much more time on the intro. Let's see what you have to look forward to:
New Story - The Conclusion of the Julie Path, Including Two Endings
Julie becomes the third and penultimate storyline to reach its conclusion in this month. The story so far has built up to Julie enacting revenge on Ricky, the art dealer who cheated her out of her art and money. Margaret and Julie's last job is all set to take place at a gala opening of his latest exhibition. There's also a B-plot taking place during Julie's path that we think some players are looking forward to seeing concluded. Since it all takes place in our game, there's a lot of TF shenanigans and other hijinks, and we hope you'll find it a thrilling conclusion to Julie's story!
And not only do you get the full final ending for Julie, but also an alternate short end along with it! It's a very different kind of resolution to the saga, but it's one we think a lot of people will enjoy.
New Art - Five, yes, FIVE new CGs from UltraBondageFairy, KDhynamo and Neropan
As we mentioned yesterday, former team member Neropan signed on to make a guest appearance this update as the artist for a CG. It appears in the short end of the Julie path mentioned above. It's currently in sketch form, to be completed later by KD, but we think you'll love the character and charm in it even in an unfinished sate.
Speaking of KDhynamo, he took a CG from sketch to completion in just one week that you'll see in the new story content. It features some characters we think players will be delighted to see, and makes a great addition to the story.
UBF, no slouch herself, comes in with a completed CG and two sketched CGs. The latter two you'll find at the end of the main Julie ending, and the former you'll see in day four of the Sylvia route. You can see a closeup of it below, and the whole piece is an amazing showcase of light and texture. The subject of the last two sketched CGs you might guess based on the theme of the route and our artist's name, and features some real striking posing you can see even in sketch form.
New Art - Sprites, Sprites, Sprites!
KD has had the last two months to work on the sprites, and he made the most of his time. We've got a plethora of new character sprites to show off. There's multiple new outfits for multiple characters with variations on top of that! Margaret, Felicia, and Sylvia all get in on the action and some of the prettiest outfits in the game show up in the new story content.
Particularly of note is KD's reworking of Sylvia's vixen sprite that appears in the Felicia route. He thought the version we had wasn't quite as anthro as he wanted it to be, so he made some improvements to the face including adding more expressions. We think it's a big improvement, so check it out for yourself!
New Music - Two New Tracks
Will graced us with two new songs this month, both dealing with the more intense, emotional moments in the game. "Crossroads" and "Resolution" have been sprinkled throughout the game for moments when characters have to hash things out and resolve conflicts. They both show off Will's talents and KD has mentioned "Resolution" might be his favorite track in the game.
As a bonus, Will has also improved the royalty-free track used in the Felicia ending. Before it came to an abrupt end before starting over again, but now it has a pleasant, non-distracting loop.
New Backgrounds - Three New Submissions from Heart
Heart's work was the subject of this month's development poll, and in turn she's come prepared with three new backgrounds. One is a double-screen museum BG where the final heist takes place. There's also two BGs taken from your vote results. One is Margaret's bedroom while the other is Sylvia's apartment in both day and night versions. There's lots of subtle, charming details that we think gets across a lot about the characters.
New Feature - Optional Nude Sprite Toggle
We added this feature to the demo earlier this month, but now it's fully implemented throughout the Gavin path in the early access version. For some time now we've given people the option to skip sex scenes, but a lot of Gavin's storyline involves a nude Margaret in both sprite and CG form. Now players can opt to put Margaret in some clothes even in tiny mouse form. It would save her a lot of hassle if they were real, but they're actually just being used as a non-diegetic way to let you avoid looking at mouse nipples if you're not into that. You can find it in the options menu with the other content toggles.
And that's everything! Do you believe me now about it being a big update? We hope you enjoy all the work we put into it, and we'll see you next month with at least one ending to the Gavin storyline!
