News: July 2024

TLDR: DI first release in a few days. Possibly no GnB update this month, then back to normal releases.

The intro for DI is nearly ready. I warn you now, it is not going to be a ton of content. The main goal up until now has been to get all of the core fundamental elements of the game in place first, which is pretty much done. From here on, I'll be able to focus completely on new content.

As for that new content, I basically have one mindset for DI. Everything you can do in the game should be enjoyable. The main attraction is, of course, the adult content. I'm not going to promise that every bit of content added to the game will be adult content, but it will be a priority. I assume you most likely would prefer to play some other game that does "gameplay" better than an adult game by an indie dev. I won't be "half-assing" the non-adult stuff, though. Otherwise I wouldn't have spent so much time on making a combat system from scratch.

There will be no grind. You will have quests to do. If you can't complete them, go do something else until you can. In hard mode, combat might need balancing. That hasn't been a priority yet. Easy mode removes combat entirely in favor of stat checks or similar. Don't have the 5 Strength required to complete the quest? Don't have Vivi as a companion? All of the options to complete the quest are grayed out? Come back later.

Romance stuff will be simple. Unlock the companion, do their quest. Completing the quest will reward you with a new scene, starting out with the basics such as a HJ. Complete more of their quests to unlock more scenes.

There will be a separate scene mode as well. As you unlock new scenes, they will become available in this mode. It's kind of like a gallery without all of the text. Or maybe more accurately, "I wanna bang the girl again in game without needing to flip through the gallery." There is a normal gallery, too. That will replay the entire scene with the text.

I could go on and on, but I'll leave it there. Rather show you the game than fill your head will things you have no reason to believe. I'm not that kind of dev. :)

The final animation for the intro is currently rendering. I'll need to either render the map screen or disable it for the first release as I forgot to render that one last week with all of the other stuff. Ivy's combat images need to be redone as well. That won't take long. There's a bunch of code stuff I'll be finishing up right after this post. I'll do a few more play tests of the intro, and then it should be ready. No more than a few more days to wait, unless something goes horribly wrong.

GnB may or may not have an update this month due to the first release of DI. I'll try to have an update ready by the end of the month, but I can't say for sure right now if the renders will be done in time or not. After this month, GnB will continue as normal regardless.

Thank you as always!
