Greetings once again! How are our special advocates of space titty operas doing this week? Step aboard this filthy rocket ride and hold on tight, because some serious Subverse information loads are about to explode all over your precious faces.
TARON KRAASK
As you can see, Taron's model is turning out quite nicely thanks to our team of catgirl aficionado modelers. Her full model and outfit will be completed and added to our website soon. Taron was a bonus character unlocked during the Kickstarter campaign, and she'll be joining your crew about midway through the story.
Also.. in case you missed it, visit our Subverse homepage to see space elf Elaisha Sorn's model in full 3D!
BRAND NEW MARY CELESTE
We recently decided to give the Mary Celeste a complete overhaul since it just felt wrong having a pre-canned protagonist vessel.
For this task we enlisted Mr. Alexey Pyatov, a sci-fi fetishist with a raging hard-on for designing spaceships. He's been working closely with Daddy DC over the past month to cook up this totally sick concept for what is destined to be forever known as the "Millenium Falcon of Butt-Fucking."
The front or "maw" of the ship will house the hangar, and it's from there your trusty F3N1X fighter will launch during combat missions. There will also be sections for stealth drives, the bridge, cantina, laboratory, captain's quarters and even a locker room. The new Mary Celeste will receive a low-poly pass and then be implemented into the game by the end of the month (gropey Chewbacca not included).
WAIFU LOYALTY SYSTEM
And now, onto the gameplay details!
In Subverse, we've decided to merge traditional RPG leveling with a loyalty system. Instead of having separate combat levels and then a romance system, you will be able to progress both at the same time by simply playing through the game. Each time you win a battle or complete a quest, you will be given an experience capsule.
You can then give that capsule to any waifu of your choice to grant her XP towards leveling up. Once she "dings" and levels up, she then gains a talent point, or...as we lovingly call them: Pooter Points (PP).
PP is used to unlock the sex scenes in Subverse. The more PP you have, the better/more complex sex scenes become available (very much like an MMORPG talent tree if it included eating ass). This streamlined system means that you don't have to fiddle around with combat talents or stats - she'll automatically perform better in battle and you'll get to focus your attention on what lewd acts she can perform in bed.
As you can see from the top image, there are also some rewards to earn on her road to level 40. Every 10 levels include a major "milestone" event for your waifu, and we'll be revealing the milestone rewards at a later date.
However, we will confirm that she'll trust you enough to activate her loyalty quest once you hit the level cap!
To review:
1) Fight battles/quests with waifu of your choice
2) Gain EXP in the form of a capsule
3) Feed this EXP capsule to any waifu on the crew
4) She eventually levels up and gains 1 PP to spend on sex scenes
5) Rinse and repeat until level 40 to unlock cool rewards
THE BETA COMETH
I know all of you have been waiting patiently to know when the closed beta will begin and how it will work, so let's lay out the details for you now...
The closed beta will be available to all Big Bang Theorists (those that pledged £75 or more). If you qualify and haven't signed up for the beta yet, make sure you visit our Discord server!
We will send out a message in the "Beta Oasis" room to let you know as soon as the first build is ready to go live. Builds will be accessed through a special branch on Steam, so you'll need to use your key and add Subverse to your library.
Initially, we're going to release the first SHMUP mission (including the tutorial) for you to enjoy. We hope to have the same sections of grid combat available not long after. Keep an eye out on Discord and Twitter for dates.
TWITTER...NOW!!!
If you haven't followed @studiofow or @subversegame on Twitter yet, make sure you do ASAP! We've posted lots of delightful things there that we can't post here, such as the very first actual preview of our dirty animations starring none other than Killi as she shows you just how useful prehensile Vanneran tails can be.
WHAT'S NEXT???
Later this month we will post the 7th dev diary, and it's here that we will finally reveal the details of how hand-holding works in Subverse and how can you spend those Pooter Points! It's a robust system of fuck machinations birthed straight from the depraved mind of DC-sama himself while lethal amounts of vodka, sausage grease and black hentai magic coursed through his veins.
Sincerely,
Mr. Kristoff, Senior Producer
