DevLog Day???


Sorry I keep forgetting sites other than patreon need posted to on at least a semi normal basis. Though if you are someone that follows the patreon you should know quite a bit has happened. Let's try to get you all on itch.io caught up.
So since the last post, I brought on a second helper. I was told they would be able to completely redesign the map from scratch, make it all in unity and make it all anime style and look just like the anime. I was what??? Cool, sure yea do that! I then announced on the patreon that was something that would be in the next update. And went back to working on Her Fall since I bounce back and forth between the updates per game. By the time I was almost done with Her Fall chapter 9 part 3. I went to message the mapper, they said yea sure should be done in a day or 2. I thought SWEET! went back to finishing Her Fall Chapter 9 Part 3, released it, and went to message the mapper again, and for some unknown reason I was blocked? Well shit, this changes things.... But I am a man of my word. I said this would be in the update, so fuck it looks like I have to completely rebuild the house from scratch. And thats what I did. After I finished that I thought to myself. Damn this update is going to be late as fuck. there is so much that just got tossed on me last minute. Well hopefully not to many people leave the patreon. I went from 130 a month in subscribers down to 50 a month a week after the update was late.
So while sitting there thinking to myself while coding the imagebuttons and stuff for the game. "What can I do to try and get more subscribers?" because I know if I was them I would have cancelled to. The last thing I want when I am supporting someone is to be strung along and get nothing for months at a time.
Which is why I have always been perfectly happy with people just subbing for a month to get the new update then cancelling, because you never know with some devs if they are just going to abandon a project, or go 6 months without releasing anything. 

So while thinking about it I realized what could help me. Side Stories. Each week: a poll of every character in the game, and ones that are not yet in the game. The top 2 voted characters get a side story comic book style about them posted on the Patreon and anyone that classifies as a paid subscriber at any amount is allowed to view them and vote on those polls. It only takes me 3-4 hours in one day to make a couple of stories and post them. So it really doesnt take much time away from me working on the game, as I work 20 hours a day minimum anyways. I am averaging around 120 hours a week working on these games, so if that goes down to 116 hours on the game, and 4 hours on something that helps people know that I am still active and they get to see weekly content. Seems worth it to me. So if that interests you. This weeks stories are about Norn and Zenith. https://www.patreon.com/TwizSinGames  and theres my patreon if you are interested.

ONTO THE GAME UPDATE NEWS... stuff?

So I have the entire house remodel done and coded. 
I have 600 animations finished for the new update.
over 1000 renders,
the new avatar system completely remade in a new shader style.
The office entrance is completely remade and recoded.
All the image buttons are done and coded for everything.
I moved the battle system into the book system. 
I rebuilt the map, it now shows you the rooms of the house when your inside the house, and the city when you are outside the house.
I have all the renders and animations done for Nanahoshis dates.
I have the renders done for Nanahoshi's side quests and her conversations.

So whats left to do?
I still need to code all the new sex scenes. This update adds around 50 something new sex scenes.
I need to code the conversations and boss battle to unlock nanahoshi.
I still need to get the dialogue for the new quests and dates from my writer, and put that into the code.
And thats literally it. The update will be out soon. But I have learned my lesson on trying to give an exact date on something when I have other people that I am working with. I can only say what I will have done by a certain time not what they will have done. 


Also since the mapper left that was also the person that was supposed to make the spanish translation of the game. So that will not be in this update. I will end up making one myself, using an app. I halfway speak spanish, so I should be able to use google translate and make sure it isnt too bad. But with the update already a week late. I am not going to spend the time doing that on this update it will have to wait for the next one. Also I told the writer (Who is also doing the Russian Translation) That since the spanish one will wait for the next update. Not to focus on the Russian translation for this update either, just focus on the new content and we can worry about the translations after this update. As the next 3 updates for this game will be small updates - meant to just add new positions and side stories while I work on the Demon continent maps and code in the background. That we will just do the translation stuff and add them into one of those 3 smaller updates.
