Hi guys, Johnny here.
Since our previous devlog, I've been even busier than normal, planning and writing upcoming content. We've had a bit of radio silence on our end, but we're thrilled to break that now as we're closing in on the release of version 1.50.
If you've read the previous Devblog, which focused on Susan and Astoria, you may remember me saying that this upcoming update would mainly focus on Susan. But after considering how much I value my own sanity, I decided it would be best to include Astoria in Susan's favours introduction as well. This is because Susan, much like other characters, is introduced while progressing through Hermione's favours. Astoria, on the other hand, will fully unlock after finishing Susan's first tier of favours.
Since I also wanted players to get a taste of both characters, I also started working on Astoria's content summaries and events as well. So you'll be happy to know that not only will Astoria be included in Susan's intro, but her own favours introduction will also begin once you've completed Susan's first tier of favours.
The focus of this update is still on Susan, so while both story introductions are included, you'll also be able to progress through Susan's first two tiers of personal favours. I did finish writing her third tier as well, but to keep the momentum going, I want to finish the fourth tier before adding them to the game.
Aside from story, this update will also include new talk, gift, nickname and wardrobe dialogues. I've added about 15-20 new outfits at the time of writing, so you'll have plenty of options to play around with. Since Astoria's favours intro will now also be included, we'll unlock all her wardrobe options for now to let you guys play around with it freely. As always, I'd like to give a big thank you to our Platinum Patreon members for supporting our monthly outfit polls.
One of the more exciting wardrobe additions this time around comes in the form of hairstyles for Susan and Astoria. Since this is Nix's wheelhouse, I'll let him take it from here in the next scheduled post.
That concludes this Devblog. My colleagues will be posting additional dev blogs soon with more juicy tidbits about the visuals and gameplay mechanics involved in the upcoming game update. Feel free to join our Discord, and make sure to keep an eye out for early access as we're currently in the process of content implementation.
