Quick-Start Claire #2

As we lead up to our final release of 0.7, I felt like it might be fun to do a series on the potential quick-start Claires we will implement.

We've already showcased the Popular version. Who's next?

Our 'Nerd'.

In the past week we've released the 0.7.2 (Beta) and a Hotfix.

Development-wise?

We've been improving the Skillcheck popups, added in a few new states and icons, a series of bugfixes (thank you!), and begun to build out our Quick Start Claires, which will release with 0.7.3.<...

0.7.2.1 Hotfix 1

Here are those fixes!

0.8 Act I Focus

Now that we've come to a consensus on what should be expanded and improved in the Prologue, what about Act I?

0.7 Progress Report

As we've been waiting to see how the polls shake out, the team's been hard at work on the next release.

Writing is focused on giving Claire the opportunity to check out the real dating scene while she's in Manila. Once that's complete, there will be another 'day' added ...

0.8 Prologue Focus Poll

Let's start deciding what our focus will be for the 0.8 dev cycle!

What would you like us to work on, build, enhance, improve, or create in the Prologue for the next release?

We'll do another poll for the spy focus, and one more for with HSVs get some love.

...

0.7.1 Release!

This is the first release of our 'spy-focused' dev cycle. Claire has more opportunities to interact with her EROS counterparts and investigate the club -- working there or being a patron. We've also completed the date with Bona, if you happened across him.

Also with this release, we've impl...

0.8 Prologue Focus

Alright! Since it seems that everyone likes the idea (or isn't against it), we'll be moving forward with the 'combined' approach to development going forward.

We'll decide on the Manila Focus later in the 0.7 cycle, but we can certainly decide what our Prologue focus will be for the 0.8 dev...

Combined Dev Focus Going Forward?

We've been having a discussion between devs and then posted to our Discord regarding changing our dev cycle going forward. We wanted to see if those not on the Discord (or not active) had any thoughts -

How would you all feel about if, rather than going 'on' and 'off' cycle, we did a...

0.7 Release!

It's time for the first release of our next cycle. We're focused entirely on Manila and Claire's spy adventures.

In this release:

• Claire can progress through the entire Prologue and enter Act I. This completely connects the two, for all Claire versions.

• C...

0.7 Progress Report

Over the past week we've reached out to our top-tier supporters to see where they'd like to see the additional content added in this arc (but no one's responded! check the Discord =) , and I'm close to completing the EROS agency content. What does it include?

A check-in for Claire to get in...

0.7 Poll Results

Well that wasn't even close at all!

The focus of the 0.7 cycle will be pursuing working at the Club, infiltration of the club, alongside training and information as an EROS agent.

We did have a good amount of interest in some new side paths, so I'll add some 'life' for C...

0.6.4 Hotfix 3

Some bad code.

Fixed.

0.6 Public Release!

https://blue-swallow.pages.dev/

We've rounded out another massive push in the game and wanted to make it available to the public. Have you been curious about Blue Swallow and what the game looks like in the current iter...

We really appreciate the save files and bug callouts!

Here's the final hotfix of 0.6 before we move on to work in 0.7

Thanks again!

0.7 Progress Report

Happy July!

We should be releasing a new Hotfix for the 0.6 version that will address the last few outstanding issues with that release.

Otherwise, we've been turning to creating a public release version, which we'll be putting up on itch and other places to advertise for the game -...

0.6.4 Hotfix 1

We've been digging into the bug reports (specifically the zero bodycount one) and we think we've solved them.

Thank you for your patience!

If you are still having the 0 bodycount bug, please post your save in the #bug-extermination channel on our Discord.

0.7 Content Poll

As I dive into writing content for 0.7, I want to see what matters most to you!

Based on this poll, I will prioritize the content that you're looking to see added.

0.6.4 Final Release!

This is the final release of our 'off-content' dev cycle. We've expanded the Gang, Club, Sporty, and Partier HSVs, the Popular, Rebel, Nerd and Sporty Clique Arcs. And, by popular demand, there's an early choice at who her significant other is and how/if they date.

Oh, and the chance...

0.6.4 Progress Update

Wanted to drop an update telling you all where we were!

I'm neck-deep into adding in a 'take your girl best friend to Prom' arc, adding in the alternative text for those Claire's that don't have Dads, and then I'll be digging into the Rebel and Club arcs.

Meanwhile, we're improvin...

The fixes include:

0.7 Contest!

We're closing in on the end of the 0.6 dev cycle, which means we're starting to orient towards the content in Manila. We've sketched out the ideas for arcs and additions to the existing material, but...do you have ideas? We bet you do.

How would you like those ideas to ...
