CYB 0.3.1 to be released in...November, I explain why.

I didn't post recently anything, so I think it's time to share this :

After thinking about it and the content since 0.3 that I added, I think that an update is suitable during November (you have to take into account the early accesses, so it can be very early December for a public release).

I want to be as transparent as possible so that your investment in my project can be unequivocal.

First of all, a word about this particular release for me:  a game development requires certain phases and we are in the phase of deepening the mechanics.

This one requires internal tests but also an important contribution from you. I'll need your feedback, to see if you like the direction I've taken because I've made some important gameplay choices.

It's as exciting as it is risky, but I like to venture down these paths because I'm passionate about this project.

Anyway, let's take a look at what's ready and requires a battery of tests in November:

That would include so far: 

- Slayer Mission Rank C repeatable (done) with h-defeat event /repeatable

- Cybercorp exploration during Night Phase (done)

- Dr.Lucius examination (All done !) with all kind of teasing and h-events /repeatable + consequences in the long run

- Item Shop with NPC (done) including H-EVENT and the introduction of DOMINANCE and REVENGE Pentagrams (all complete and really cool !) /repeatable + consequences in the long run

Here the new brand NPC : Sid / Seduction skill will allow you to have reduction but beware, don't tease this guy too much as he could scheme something against you. You can also use a more persuasive approach with the appropriate skill

What is left to do and what is aborted for this update :

- Fred's route with schoolgirl outfit (I want to start this event because I'm excited about it and you asked for it. I may expand it in the future but at least I want some Playdoll 2 skill/corruption scenes)

- Downtown Evening Mapping (80% done) + Side Quest/Job (Mixed Bath, 20% done) : I will try my best so you can see at least this area during the evening. If I can, I will open the Mixed Bath area but I'm not sure for this update

- Special Event during Slayer Mission (10% done) : This one must be aborted for this update because it's a deep gameplay system and I want it neat for a next update

- Gym Bastards reworked with Dominance and Revenge approaches (50% done) : this will be complete in the november update and really exciting in my opinion

- New skills : 

ARROGANCE TREE / 2 Skills : Dominance and Revenge

PHYSICAL TREE / 2 Skills Ambush and Ambush Pro 

PSYCHIC TREE / 1 Skill : Vision of Lust II

All those sills will be operational and used in the next update. They will open a new form of gameplay and great replayability. Those justify the last weeks I spent on the Item shop and the gym attackers.

A new approach in the gym event and a even more confident Aline if you decide so !

I'm perfectly comfortable with the content that's coming, not only because I like it so much, but because I think you'll love seeing how Aline can act in certain situations.

I've been thinking about pushing back the update to put in more content (a little job or a side quest or two) but this is probably not the time to rush this kind of thing. When mechanics need to be put in place, you have to take the time to install them and the time to test them. This update will be there mainly for that, to see the balance and the replayability of these events, which are certainly few but rich in possibilities.

I have never told nonsense or lies about my content so I wanted you to know exactly where your pledge will go in November.

I'm not talking about the two sets in preparation as well as Leridia which is progressing slowly but surely (I'm revisiting the whole part with the ogre cave/episode 3 thoroughly).

For Leridia, it will be delayed, that's for sure...but I'm working on the project regularly and the 1.0 will come when it comes and it will be worth it.

Thanks for your support, feel free to give me strength and put a like on this post to show that you read and stay tuned to the development, you can't imagine how important it is when you are alone for hours on end on lines of variables.

I'll update news for CYB 0.3.1 ETA as soon as I can !
