Update 5.5 devlog: More dirty content than predicted...
🕑 Added 2023-08-28 14:30:28 +0000 UTCHey hey!
So here we are with another 5.5 devlog!
When?
I wish this devlog could be further ahead already announcing the beta days and whatnot, but instead, I have different news! Maybe it's good? Maybe it's bad?
I'd still like to apologize, though! I released Update 5 knowing that the last part of Edwin's day would be a bit too long and would make Update 5 too long and too delayed, so we cut it in what I considered to be 2/3rds done. Update 5 has about 16-17k words and I predicted loosely that the ending of it would have another 10k or such, which is about half an usual update is words-wise. That's why I thought I'd release 'Update 5.5' in a month's time instead of two. Half the length, half the time, right? Most of the art assets were already ready too, so that was nice.
HOWEVER... things don't always go as planned. I might have shot a little too high. While trying to give people a lot of options for the end of Edwin's day, there are quite a few *very* different ways things can go depending on the choice of talking to Boris or Jayden earlier in the day, as well as what you decide during the finale. Because of that, the text got to 10k words, and then to 12k, then to 15k... and it's still growing...
In the end, while it's *almost* finished, the text for Update 5.5, despite only covering the smutty parts of Edwin's day, will be about the length of a full update. :O
Because of that, as much as I've been trying to get it done ASAP, I definitely couldn't get it out within a month's time. Since most of the art for it was already done, we've worked on a few other improvements in the mean time, as well as content for Update 6 that's already being made and, of course, the beautiful CG that you all have seen!
What?
So, that's the gist of it. It's taking longer, it's bigger than predicted, but hopefully that'll also mean it's more than people expected. I'm doing my best to make use of the extra time that the writing it taking to queue up some cool stuff to come along with it.
For now, all I can say is that Edwin's day will be packed with action, and I hope it'll please people who like our tiger buddy a lot, as well as people who took a liking to Boris and/or Jayden as well! Not only that, but each of them will give out different flavors of Edwin and Resnick as well, so we'll see. I hope you'll all like it and either try out all the different variations that we'll have, or at least I hope to make people happy over the fact that whatever their preference in the way of Lust choices, they'll get a pretty thorough and filling outcome. ;)
All this new content will come accompanied by the new Edwin and Resnick CG, so in this tiger-focused update people can go back and see how the first night with Edwin is going to look with a whole new awesome enhancement to the visuals of what happened! Alongside that, we're gonna have some updated sprites for when smut is happening, which I intend to update all over the game in most smutty scenes that have happened so far to enhance them, as well as some other minor interface and quality of life touch-ups!
In the end... It'll still be called Update 5.5, but it'll pretty much be a full-fledged update. Whew! I know it's been 5 weeks at this point, but I do still hope to get it out *before* we reach 8 whole weeks as usual! Look out for more updates as soon as I can give them! I'm working hard to get it out as soon as possible...!
For now, that's it! That was already a bunch! Thank you to those who bothered reading all of this and heck, it's coming soon! ;)
