Hello, thank you for your patience while I've had my head in the sand again this month communication wise.
Right now I have one final image to pose for the Tiffany vs Vanessa sex scene,Once I get it rendering, & edit one of the renders to accompany a progress report tomorrow, I'm confident I'll be at 87% complete.
Once all the renders for that scene are edited & implemented(hopefully end of the week), it'll be 89%. It was still a slower month, particularly the last 2 weeks I had a lot of distractions, but progress should start seeming more rapid now as most of the remaining tasks are almost done & a lot of those are worth 1% each in my progress tracker. So I expect to start checking those off in quick succession.
But I'll go into that a little more in tomorrow's progress report post.
Onto the point of this post:
I'm getting to the point in development where I'm looking for supporter input to choose what task to focus on next - after wrapping up everything I have planned for the upcoming build. So it's time to finally bring these polls back where you get to have your say.
Option #1: Combat Sex Moves for Zombies
Give each zombie type an additional, erotic way to assault Tiffany & her companions in combat - with effects different to the standard Strip/Overpower move.
Right now, every zombie has basically 1 move they can use at any time in combat.
If the girls have outfit pieces? Use Strip.
If the girls are naked? Use Overpower.
No matter how many new moves, perks or weapons I give to Tiffany & the Girls, this limited enemy move-set can quickly make every combat encounter with a zombie feel boring & predictable.
But the zombies were never meant to only have a single option in combat, I just never prioritized diversifying their options, even in v0.10, over everything else I deemed more important for the game.
I had been thinking about leaving them like this until a future version, but as adding new moves to their arsenal will shake up the current balance of combat encounters - it does make sense to do this sooner rather than later - especially as players are likely getting tired of fighting the same enemy on repeat for all of these years you've been waiting for me.
In the future I will also be creating more unique types of enemies, and featuring multi-opponent combats much more frequently in the town, But those will be left for future versions.
Option #2: Tiffany's Day 3+ Outfit
As you know, Tiffany's so far spent the 1st half of Day 3 naked. Before she can continue into the north side of town (and to the rest of the story) she'll be needing her outfit pieces back. To do this, I will need to do a lot of render variations of all of Tiffany's existing Day 3 reusable CGs for dialogue idles, combat moves, & various misc activities (lockpicking, fishing, etc). All with her "new" blue bikini complete with miniskirt for a 4th layer of protection.
This will take me a while, but obviously needs to be done to restore this important aspect of TD's combat system, at least, for everyone who isn't intentionally playing Tiffany as a nudist, of course.
Please vote in the poll attached to this post and let me know which of these two features you want to see added to the game next?
Thank you for your feedback, your patience, and of course your support.
