Santa Lucia Build 13 (Patreon) - October 2020
🕑 Added 2020-10-02 02:24:45 +0000 UTCHeya guys! I hope you're doing well!
Build 13 ended up being surprisingly difficult and taxing on me to write. The whole month I've been really dissatisfied with the quality of what I was writing, stalling on things I wasn't confident in and outright cutting thousands of words that simply didn't hit the high quality bar I've set for myself. There's a sequence in the game that was initially meant to be a grandiose major plot event, but I had to scale it back substantially because my writing skill simply wasn't good enough to pull it off. I hope what's still there remains engaging enough to be worthwhile.
Big shoutout to Devilizer this month, who picked up a lot of the slack when I was floundering. There's a big six-way split in the build where you can spend time with most of the main characters of your choosing. Each of those events was written fully by him, which bought me the time I needed to get my act together and fix the things that weren't working for me deeper in the update.
On top of the additional story content, you can also look forward to replaying the opening vision of day 5 with CGs for the husbando branches! I'm really excited to hear what you guys think about them, as well as what you think about Carlos's new outfit!
One final note for this build: The playlists section of the Gallery is now available to all players now that a certain plot point has been reached. I hope you guys enjoy getting to know the characters better by exploring the music they like to listen to!
With that, I think I covered everything I wanted to say this month. I hope you guys are doing well and I'll see you next month!
Cheers!

Thanks for the detailed response :3 can’t wait for the next update! The story’s going in some interesting directions and you’ve been writing the characters really well and realistically

I have the groundwork prepared for the choices on all four stretch goal routes as of this build. I want to get a lot further in the core three routes before starting work on the others, though, so it may be a while before Chris and co see substantial content. I have rough outlines for those guys but I left them rough just in case they never had their goals reached. I need some time to really flesh everything out before I'm comfortable developing route content for them, hehe...

A question re. Chris's route. Since that goal was reached, is it now an effort to retroactively retool his earlier days? Or indeed did you lay the groundwork for it earlier so if you did choose his options you should be good to romance him? I ask mainly due to the dream sequence at the start of day 4(?) [correct me if I'm wrong] that delves into the backstories of the husbandos and how their younger selves went through X and Y. Chris was missing from that, so would an option for him be given there? Thanks

Heya guys! Special thanks to Xenin for pointing this out, first version of build 13 had a broken chapter select system. I updated the build to fix this bug!

Thank you hehe, they've been a work in progress since December 2018 and I'm glad to finally get them in the game!
