V0.5k
Howdy! Here’s what’s up:
It’s not everything we wanted, but we really wish to release an update for peace of mind! And we both really wanted you all to see those events properly layered and implemented, instead of waiting more.
We spent a ton of time bugtesting it and we will upload a bugfix relatively soon if some bugs have escaped us (there’s also a long backlog of other bugs that need fixing, not related to this particular update).
The good news is that the hard part is finally over, all image sets and variables work and we now have a solid framework to which we can add more content.
To give you an example, a single pole event (be it anal sex or just public humiliation) is around 35 pages long (due to the amount of variability the text can have), this is more text than in the entire first release of Defenestration (v0.1), which took us around half a year to make back in the day. And it isn’t just text that can be copy-pasted, everything has to be tied to the variable responsible for what Kira and NPCs can say. The art complexity is incomparable, Pole event has 381 pictures, v0.1 had like 30, and without any variability. And it’s not just the number of pictures that is an issue, some of them are mutually exclusive (like breast sizes) and some are “Additive&Mutually exclusive” (like piercings that exist for all breast sizes). There’s literally thousands of different Kiras each one of you sees on a screen. It is simply too much.
Not everything we did can be seen yet, that is partially a deliberate choice (working “in advance” for when things like fake/bigger breasts and pregnancy get unlocked) and partially it’s because Moana simply did not manage to code in everything.
But, it is a good thing overall. I’m glad our game now has this and we will expand on it in the next couple of releases (as well as work on other things).
There’s also another post below this one, I talk in more detail in it (just in case you missed notification because I made multiple post at once)
With that out of the way, here’s a link:
V0.5k (Click Me, Pixeldrain link)
Note: Saves work, just copy the entire save folder from the previous version into this one (and make sure to keep your saves if you delete the game folder).
- 117 pages of script;
- 381 pictures;
- Edited and expanded the text in most of the existing pole H-events (Existing text was originally written to be ‘vague’ to fit all versions of Kira, to avoid, well, this - it’s now 4 times bigger than it was. With references to Kira’s stats, state and fetishes);
- Layered the artworks in existing pole events (endgame ready);
- Layered the artworks in the first pole event (“Prison Break” quest, endgame ready);
- Consent form now works, currently it lets you pick (everything is optional):
Anal sex (4 H-events, including “second time” and “repeatable” versions);
Public Humiliation (4 H-events, including “second time” and “repeatable” versions);
Gag (decides the length of H-events, “gaged” versions are super short);
Blindfold (decides the appearance of Kira’s partners, with it “off” - it’s old men);
Shift length (decides the amount of H-events Kira can see in a single pole “shift”);
- Failing to visit the pole every 7 days now leads to all KGB Agents/Guards becoming hostile;
- Failing to visit the pole every 7 days now leads to random agents spawning to drag Kira to the pole;
- Codded in all of the artwork for all planned pole events (everything is optional):
Vaginal sex;
Double anal;
Double vaginal;
Vaginal+Anal;
Breast pump;
Cum drinking;
- Coded in the pole H-events “system” itself (things persist, remain and get referenced. For example: if a” milk pump” event happens first, the pump will remain/keep working on Kira and visiting NPC’s from other events will comment on it where appropriate);
Please do report any new pesky bugs you might encounter!
There's a lot of images and variability at play here and as much as we test it - some things are bound to escape our eyes.
I probably forgot to mention something, but that’s pretty much it and to be completely honest - for me, the best part about the infamous “pole arc” being almost over is in the fact that I keep mixing up “pole” with “poll”.
Thank you all for your patience and support!
