Hi everybody.
Happy Friday! I hope you've had a great week and are getting ready for a relaxing and enjoyable weekend.
My main goal this week was finishing the polish work of the text and the posing, and while I didn’t quite hit that goal, I'm close (I need another week). Last week, we did encounter a bug involving one of the presex events which I will return to later. Chestnut is still working on visual touch-ups, and she also expects to finish all her tasks in a few days unless we find new bugs or errors.
Speaking of which, we have a doubt about the last sex scene with Gomira, namely that she's very dominant in that scene and we’re wondering if some players might feel like that's too much femdom (to be clear not all of 0.7's sex scenes involve female domination). Until now, I honestly hadn't given it much importance since, in my mind, there are some female characters who will be submissive (including one who will like to be tied up) and others, like Gomira, who might like to be in charge -- to me, the variety is a good thing and in line with that have an MC who's open to different sexual experiences. Being so close to the release, and wanting to avoid backlash, though, makes you doubt stuff. As far as I see, our options are either to proceed as planned, or take an extra 5-7 days to add another sex scene to the game with an alternative animation for people who are not into femdom -- to set correct expectations, I don't think the femdom in this scene is too hardcore, but it's definitely more than what we had done so far and if people really don't like dominant women they may not like it. Anyway, this is just something we talked a lot about today and it's fresh in my mind as I'm writing this. In all likelihood, we'll leave it as it is to move on, but it's a decision we must make by the next report.
There’s not much more to say right now except that we're working very hard to finalize the form of the game and send it out to external testers. Our deadline is still the end of November, and unless we run into major bugs, we should be able to hit it.
That's all.
Have a wonderful weekend.Cheers
