A Promise Best Left Unkept V0.4.0 - Tipsy(5$) Tier

I’m releasing V0.4.0 a bit earlier than I first intended mainly because I’m really not sure that I’m doing things properly with the new simple ‘animations’ and I would like to gather quick feedback so that, if there’s anything that needs changes, I can react as quickly as possible in order to implement/work on those changes.

This release is around 19k words long and contains five new CG sets and one (big) sex scene.

We’re starting the Normal ending. In order to reach this ending, you need to:

• Trust Laura most of the time
• Ignore Aya most of the time OR not follow her during the vote for Luca’s proposal
• Don’t understand Laura

If you prefer to have a list of the specific choices to follow in order to reach it, here you go:

• 1. I... I can't...
• 2. It's probably in my head
• 3. I want to see Laura
• 4. Trust Laura
• 5. Stop thinking about it
• 6. Don't
• 7. That's fine
• 8. Go find Laura
• 9. I don't know

Simple animations

I feel like V0.4.0 is probably one of the worst releases to change the way I handle the animations. As most of you must know, my sex scenes are usually rather long (I think). And there’s always a lot of dialogue in them. I had a really hard time featuring the new animations since the pacing of the sex scene was...hard to properly follow to the letter, let’s say. I do hope I did a good job, but since it’s a new technology and everything, it wouldn’t surprise me if I failed in one way or the other.

Not all scenes have animations. It costs money, and I feel like some (masturbation, for example) wouldn’t gain much from it. Though, depending on the response, I might change my mind. The next releases will also have those kinds of animations, so please tell me what you think. If the animations are well-liked, I might add a new goal to slowly shift the older scenes to this new format. I also added some camera movements to the animations. I think it gives a nice feel to the scenes, but again I’m mostly testing right now.

Ending List

I added a menu in the extra section where you can see the list of endings. The only ending you can select right now is the one being implemented (normal ending). It’s mainly to give you a simple/detailed description of how to reach the particular ending. As we move along in the development of the game, you will be able to select other endings. Only those implemented/being implemented will be selectable though, as to not confuse people.

Extra CGs

There will be releases where there aren’t any good spots where I can add an extra CG. When it happens, I will try to find an early part of the game where a CG might be a good fit. This release is one of them. The two extra CGs are from earlier parts of the game, though one of them is also used in a small section of this release. The other is Laura smoking in the infirmary:

If you have any recommendations for CGs in earlier parts of the game, I would love to hear them.
