Announcement about Dec 24 - Jan 25 (Patreon)
Content
Hi everyone, just letting you know that we're changing up the usual reward structure for Dec & Jan. For a tl;dr skip to the bottom.
Rather than the standard rewards for both months, we will be taking the time to finish up and deliver a single large project that we have been working on for quite some time. The project? A full conversion of The Pill from Unity into Ren'Py.
This is an important step for us in terms of game stability (particularly on Android) and furthering the game's development. It also won't just be a straight port, but will have significant improvements over the current version including:
All existing chapters will be now fully voiced (adding over 1800 lines of VO)
A new tangential chapter will be added (featuring a new transforming gal)
Vastly improved load times
New UI tools such as skipping
New and remade achievements
Reworked and upressed animations for certain chapters
While functionally similar, the game will be running on completely different code and has been remade from scratch. Lady Grove has been working hand in hand on this mammoth undertaking with an unparalleled developer and because of all their hard work so far I am of the opinion this will be the best iteration of The Pill to date.
To be clear: any patron who is billed during either December or January at the Sweater Stretcher or Colossal Contributor tier will be given the game as a reward, however along the way we'll be doing sneak peeks at the new animations and voices, updates on our progress and other behind the scenes items as we finish this game conversion. We may even sneak in a cheeky x-mas vid if we can find the time😉
If you have any questions feel free to ask in the comments.
tl;dr: We're using December and January to finish porting The Pill over to Ren'Py and are adding in a new chapter and a bunch of quality improvements.
