Hey'all,
I'd like to post what the going-ons are behind the scenes for all you lovely supporters. I don't want to leave anyone in the dark so this is just a "what's being worked on and what's planned". Thank you again for all your help.
Emma
What I'm doing right now is still writing Emma's story. We continue to chip away and build a nice and voluptuous update for her storyline. Still no ETA on release but we're making really good progress. Had some productive chats with Nick, la artist, and we've got some great things in store.
But I did want to talk about something else!
June
A lot of you have been asking where June's story is. June is canceled.
Serious note! I had mentioned working on a secondary project but that project's scope is ambitious and the engine needs to be thoroughly tested. So following update, I plan to write/assemble June's story on the new platform. You can see the images of the interface at the bottom of this post.
Maybe you're thinking "Wow, just put all the stories on this interface". While I'd like to do that - It's a huge undertaking because this new and improved phone interface uses a custom eventer that can freely mount scripts and unmount them. So this allows for completely modular script design. The current scripts are not compatible with this so essentially June's story will be on a standalone app, but it will also be our grandest and most ambitious project. This also means that the new interface only supports one story. There will be save/load but no reverting script for it.
June's story will still be a part of the "NetoPhone" update cycle. She may receive updates and tweaks on her own sometimes but we plan to have her not a separate project in spirit. She will however be upgraded to premium tier subscribers content and the plan is for her to also have complete language support. So a lot more work is going to be put into this.
You may have seen them on discord but in case you missed it, I'll be sharing what the interface looks like here. (All the context here is demo and not included in any story).
I plan to add a few more things to the new interface but overall it's quite impressive! After Emma's update (v0.9), I will be working on adding the final touches to this and launching June's story on this new and improved platform.
We hope you're excited for this because we certainly are!
Thank you again, for all your support! 💜
