Dev Blog #101 - The Post and Present Update Update
🕑 Added 2020-07-09 04:01:00 +0000 UTCGreetings everyone!
I don't know about all of you, but the last couple weeks have been something of a whirlwind for me. Playing catch-up to get an update out on time all while fixing one thing and breaking ten more in the process. I'd considered skipping this week's devblog while I finally take a minute to catch my breath, but the show must go on, right? Today's devblog will be on the short side with a more substantial one coming later in the month. All that being said, let's jump right in!
Update 3.3.0 - It Could Be Worse!
Sooooo... Yeah, Update 3.3.0 has gone off basically exactly as expected, and things are borked! Obviously, this only applies to backers at the moment who are currently playing the update, but backers are people who can read, too!
I'm taking in all the reported issues and addressing them as they're made know. Specifically:
- Ava night event triggering every night
- Dakota's webcam event not appearing
- Strange TF behavior
- Wonky random event rates
- Various formatting issues
While these issues are annoying to be sure, the current intent is to have everything fixed for next week's public release rather than releasing hotfixes until then. For now, please keep reporting any new issues so I can get as much taken care of before then as possible! As a remind, the public release for Update 3.3.0 will be next Thursday, July 16th. There will be some very brief downtime for the online version for all players as I refresh the online image packs. I expect this to only take 5-10 minutes or so.
Update 3.3.1 - The Pre-Update Update
So I wanted to briefly touch on this month's update, which will basically be doing what 3.3.0 did, only with a laser focus on the home.
Essentially, I'll be combing through the game's earliest content and working to bring the dialogue, pacing, and quality up to today's standards in anticipation for next's month's actual expansions to said content. While I'm not ready to dive in too deeply as to what these changes will entail, here's a basic rundown on what you can expect:
- Formatting updates on existing scenes, specifically living room and kitchen events
- Removal of existing interactive scenes with Ava and Dakota in anticipation for more fleshed out replacements next month
- With the above change will also finally come the retirement of the stamina system
- Updating unlock requirements for various scenes and events
- Updating aspects of the room exploration system
- Adding option to allow players to change MC's name
Again, this is mostly a preparation update for the big ones coming for the rest of the year. Still, players should notice a much smoother home experience that flows a little closer to more recent events added to the game. I'll have more to say about all of this later in the month, but for now this should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect.
That's it for this week, I told you it'd be a short one! I hope everyone's looking forward to the public update next week and with that, I thank you all for your feedback and support! Good night!

Don't be sad sad sad. Nothing changed here, as the NPC willpower stat had zero affect on gameplay or behavior. The number was never actually applied to anything. The ladies will still behave more and more submissive (or dominant) based on how you interact with them and serums, just as has always been the case.

I am sad the can no longer make the NPC Ladies Submissive. I always had that as a goal when I started a new MC. :( sad sad sad

Hi, I’m on ipadOS 13.5.1 everything is updated on my ipad, with Chrome videos works fine.
Westane
It's being looked into. What version of IOS and Safari are you running? Can you try running it on Chrome instead of Safari?

When I play on my ipad all the videos don’t play anymore, I just have an image of the video.

Oh could we have some tribbing options in the kitchen with Ava and in the living room too?
