🕑 Added 2020-11-30 20:16:22 +0000 UTCMost of the core mechanics I want in 0.1 are functional now (barring a couple small tweaks and QoL features), and I'm working hard on the graphics.
The throne room is pretty close to what it's going to look like for now (displayed with placeholder concubines), and the character engine is starting to take shape. There are still quite a few things to do (I'm getting ready to redo hair again), and I'm still not ready to give a release date, but it's looking closer every day.
The most important character improvements over my previous games are:
- Skin looks a lot better because I'm using professionally-authored textures for colors instead of trying to fudge it with math. I'm also using a better shader with a newer version of Unity.
- Characters will be both more diverse and more attractive. Instead of working with character creation morphs (brow depth, forearm thickness, etc), I bought a bunch of sculpted faces and bodies, which are combined by the character generator.
- Character proportions will be fixed (though size varies outside of sex animations). This provides a massive performance boost, which enables stuff like having dozens of characters on screen. It should also help with misalignments in the sex system.
At this point, my task list is basically:
- Polish core mechanics
- Rework hair and expressions
- Animations
- Sex engine (more to follow on that)
- Audio
- Bugfixes
- Menus
- Events (Though the wiring shouldn't be hard, this is a lot of writing and I might end up pushing it to its own version)
For previous games, this would have been the home stretch, but I'm taking my time to do things right this time. Hopefully, that will make expansion less of a clusterfuck than it was in Stationmaster. Besides, I think the visual results speak for themselves.

Definitely. The fetish roadmap for this game is very similar to stationmaster's, gender overhaul and all.

Looks like it's coming along great. Much more excited about this one than I was about Quid Pro Quo. In terms of the more long-term roadmap, are you planning to add any TG events/features with this game, such as how you could feminize male slaves in Stationmaster? Just curious.

It's possible, but not very likely. As you can probably tell, I'm doing a lot of new stuff for this project, and that inherently makes timelines a bit tough to predict. I would guess late December at the earliest, but more likely January or February. That is, of course, unless everything magically falls into place, in which case it could be next week.

I'm looking forward to 0.1! Loving the look of things so far (you had me at "Conscript To Army") and can't wait to see how it's improved over Stationmaster! Great work and thank you for keeping us updated!

what are the chances of 0.1 being released this year
Looks good so far, I'm looking forward to being able to play this one.
