race of life
Development Update - 24.09.2024
Hello everyone!
I’m coming to you with another update! This week I’ve been working on animations because there’s quite a backlog, and I think I’ll be occupied with them until the end of the week. I already have over 2200 images, and I’ll let you know the number of animations in the next development update. I prefer to know the final count after rendering since not all of them turn out as well as I’d like, and the number often gets reduced after rendering 😊
Additionally, we have the winner of the poll for the Extra Scene, and this time it’s Allison! 😊 As we all know, Allison is quite a delicate character in the story, being one of the few who was involved in Jake’s life before the events of Race of Life. We have a lot of ideas for her, but we thought it might be worth creating the Extra Scene as a "potential" flashback to Jake’s past and showing you a scene from when they were still a couple. This way, we avoid spoiling her character, and their rebuilding relationship (for those trying to rebuild it) won’t interfere with such a scene.
Therefore, if you want to vote on the Extra Scene and which part of Jake’s past should be shown, you can do so here. Additionally, if you'd like, you can vote for the fetishes you want to appear in the Extra Scene—here’s your chance to do so - LINK! Currently, one of the leading fetishes is lingerie, so if it wins, I’ll give you a selection of sexy lingerie to choose from, and you can decide which one you think suits Allison best 😄 Of course, only Bookmakers and higher-tier Patrons can participate in the voting, and from that tier, the Extra Scene will be available!
Also a few words from Joshua 😊
It's done. Full dialogue has been drafted.
The total length is around 190,000 words, so it'll give quite a bit of gameplay, though a lot of that is in parallel, so scenes will play out differently depending on your choices of path and partners.
You'll get to see a little more background on Jake and his potential love interest's lives, as well as meet a few new characters that will play small but important roles as the story pans out. Now, it's down to the editing. Jachu and I will make a pass over it (he's already done that for most of the script while he was creating the renders) then it's on to our beta team for their proof reading to make sure I haven't left in too many typos or other issues.
I think this episode will give everyone a clearer idea about where Jake stands with the people around him, and I hope you all enjoy playing it.
Next up, I'll be scripting the bonus scene. Allison won the patrons poll, so I'll work on that soon, but in a way where it won't spoil anything for players looking to try and rekindle things with her.
Then, it's on to the outlining for the next episode!
Stay tuned!
