Hello Patrons and Fans!!
We're excited to bring more content to you in just a couple weeks! On Dec 15, patrons will get early access to the “Learning the Ropes” content we've been working on the last couple of months.
Patrons will get a special code phrase in a patrons-only post to unlock content for the first 30 days. It will then be free for everyone on Jan 15, 2019.
As our sincerest appreciation for all that our patrons have done for us and the game, patrons will always get new content first, but do keep in mind this means early access content that has some parts with placeholder assets or missing interactions.
New Mistresses and Rooms
We're introducing the concepts for three new Mistresses with this release: the Headmistress (more on her in the next post), Yuki-Onna, and Nega-Yuki. The Headmistress is a complete, custom model paid for by Patreon funds. Yuki and Nega are placeholder models for now, but will also be replaced with custom models you’ve funded as well.
Each Mistress has her own room that she plays with you in. These rooms are placeholders for now. We've commissioned two of these rooms to be custom for our game, but they aren't ready yet.
Introductory Scenes
Every time we put a new Mistress in the game, you'll get to play through a special 'introductory' scene with her. These are story and character-driven scenes separate from the submission scenes that make up normal gameplay. You'll play through three of these: one for each of our new Mistresses.
Punishments and Rewards
In addition to meeting each of our three new Mistresses via their intro scene, you'll be introduced to our punishment and reward gameplay system. Depending on how you perform tasks (coming in the next release), you will be given punishments or rewards for your performance.
For this release, we guide you through this process the first time, but in the future, you will be able to choose the Mistress you want to pay off a punishment or earn a reward through.
Early Access Content vs. Polished Content
Early Access Content includes:
- placeholder models
- placeholder rooms
- subtitles
- placeholder game mechanics via the in-game menu
- some player poses (but many will require the in-game book-menu, at first)
- static character poses with transitions (smooth animations come later)
- some sound effects
- placeholder music
Because it takes time to build this much content and polish it, as we continue to do with the introduction to our Goddess, please rest assured we will be working towards polished content over the next month.
Polished Content includes:
- Voice over
- Animations
- Full pose support
- New game mechanics
- Full sound effects
Being Part of Game Development
One of the major reasons we have taken this approach to release early access content is because we are still learning what fans and players like. We could spend a year building content and polishing the hell out of it, but if it's no fun to play, then we've just wasted all that time and money!!
So, we are releasing content as we create it so we can get YOUR feedback about what actually works and what doesn't. We need to know if the characters are sexy, the story is compelling, the scenes turn you on, and whatever else you think makes or breaks this game!
We hope you will all welcome this approach as a chance to shape a new kind of gameplay. We couldn't do this without you!!
Thank you!
