Season 2 update
We've had a hectc week in the WTHI bolier room... with Cell and I working in a frenzy, getting through a lot of art and a decent amount of script and I'm happy to say that as of this weekend, C3nturion is back in the fold and helping out a lot, so I'm very positive about what we've completed so far.
The only frustrating part was... I spent a LOT of time at the start of last week trying to sort out the code to import saves from Season 1 to Season 2. I thought it was going to be a LOT simpler than it was, but I think I have it sorted now. I'm not a natural coder, but I got there in the end (initial tests seem to show it's working, but I need to test it under lots of scenarios before I'm 100% confident). I did ask for some help from other coders, but got about a million different suggestions all of which I'm sure would work... but it fried my brain trying to take it all on board. Natural coders tend to say stuff like.. Yeah, it's easy... and then go into a 700 line code essay and usually lose me after about line 40 (If I'm lucky). 😊 😊
However, once I got my mash-up code working, I jumped straight back into scripting and art. And cell got through a crazy amounf of art too. I'll post some teasers below, but before that, I wanted to give some insight on some changes I've made to characters in Season 2. They are very subtle changes and similar to Season 1, they are mostly just extra options, rather than blatant changes... so don't worry, I haven't changed any personalities or made any of the ladies behave obviously different. I noticed during the re-do that some of the characters were a little one-dimensional in the ealrier episodes and then as the game progressed, we fleshed these out into the characters that we are all familiar with. So some of the subtle differences are usually just making the characters act and talk a tiny bit more like their later personas, rather than their more generic one-dimensional selves from the earlier episodes.
For example:
Monica: I made her "blowing hot /cold" behaviour a little smoother as she was a tiny bit inconsistent in the original game, i.e. she would tell MC how much she wanted it, but then get pissed at him when he tried something. In the re-do, she is still a little unsure / confused (99% the same), and although she is still hesitant about NOT doing anything indiscreet with MC (because of the girls), she is a little more tolerant when MC's horniness gets the better of him. She is still gonna be a tough nut to crack, but her behaviour will be a little more consistent.
I also made her slightly more aware of what is going on with MC and one other character (Hint: It's not Jenna/ Katie / Debbie / Lily, etc.), so that some of her decisions in episode 25 won't come completely out of left-field
Jenna: With Jenna... we still have the same shy nerd-girl slowly maturing into a confident sexy woman, so the same scenes will still unfold (with a lot more sexiness, extra sexy outfits, etc.) but once again, I smoothed out a few little inconsistencies in her behaviour and made her (in my opinion) a little sweeter and a little sexier.
Katie: For those who love Katie as is... you'll get to see the same Katie (with a little more depth), but for those that like her but are slightly irritated with her abrasivness, there are some options to try to help her change a little earlier on... But if you already like her as she is, then you don't have to make these changes
Debbie / Lily: Tried to continue on what I started in season 1 by making them less "generic side-girls" that we saw in the original earlier episodes into a little closer to the ladies we came to love by episode 25. So I haven't changed them.... Just made them act a little closer to their fleshed out characters that we're now familiar with.
Zarah - Similarly... gave her a little more depth, rather than just the one-track-mind Cougar next door. Don't worry, she is still the same sex-pot... we just get to know her a tiny bit better and get to see her outside of just calling into her house for a mindless fuck! 😊
Mabel- (carnival girl) - As mentioned previously, she has a slightly bigger role to play (with some extra scenes) and more back-story in the re-do.
Angel will also get a little more scene time in Season 2 and Wanda will have at least one extra (albeit small) scene. But Season 2 features the BIG photoshoot, so there will be lots of fun with Monica, Angel and Wanda.
Anyhoo... I thought want this to be an essay, so I'll leave it there, but I'll offer some more plot points / insights in next weeks update and talk about the other girls that I didn't mention above.
I'll also post a second DEV update later this week to delve behind the scenes a little in the development process.
And don't forget to vote (at the end of this month) for the first of two 4K polls this month. The first poll will be for regular 4Ks and then later this month, I'll do a poll for pregnant 4Ks.
Thanks folks,
CG
Teasers:
As requested, I'm including some originals versus their new version. If you can't tell the difference between the original versus the re-do, let me know and I'llr efund your patronage and go throw myself in front of a truck.
This poll is to pick the girls that you want to see in this month's 4K poll. These are for the regular 4Ks (NOT the pregnant 4Ks - the prengant ones will come later)
