Developer Diary #10


Hello, hello, hello! The new year has begun and we want it to be as good as the previous one. Let us remind you that 2023 was very fruitful and active for the project.

So, let's get to the news about the game.

Tests, tests, tests!

During the tests one not very pleasant thing appeared. The programmer unloaded the build, but there were no "special" saves in it. The tester started to go through everything from scratch and tried to get the maximum relationship points with everyone. And here, an important moment - NSFW scenes in chapter 3, but it turned out that it wasn't possible to get the right amount of points with any of the girls! It was a horror!

A second playthrough followed and still managed to score for two scenes. What a result: to get a scene with your favorite character in chapter 3, you need to choose all the answers correctly from the very first chapter and only then you can admire the racy scenes. On the one hand, it encourages you to replay, but on the other hand it's insanely annoying! Let's just say that we decided to lower the score threshold by 1 point for some characters and by 3 points for others. We try to balance between the logic of the relationship and the convenience of the game. But still be warned - if you want to see 18+ content with crew girls, try to choose 1-2 ladies and try to do everything to please them from the very beginning. This, of course, does not apply to characters that appear as the story progresses - with them it's a different conversation.


Something seems to have changed in the captain's quarters

When to wait?

Also we met and started discussing timelines and future chapters. We came to this conclusion: we are incredibly frustrated by games that come out unfinished and then take years to fix with patches. We're old-school supporters, when a game comes out complete. So, for now, we're aiming for a chapter 3 release in February, but we'd like to give you some advance warning and ask you to wait a little longer if it turns out that we're running out of time. It's a really big chapter and it may take longer to fix bugs. The fourth chapter seems to be big too.... because there will be a new location (which you'll find out about at the end of chapter 3) and more side quests with other characters...

WIP background

Unfortunately (or fortunately) we have almost all the images ready and we can't show more so as not to spoiler too much. We want you to see everything in the game! But we can show Fan Art of the shark from the end of the second chapter. You do realize that the story with her will continue right from the beginning of chapter 3, right?


Thank you very much for staying with us! In the new year we will please you with quality content and we will get closer to the finale. We will think about further actions on the game closer to the end of chapter 4, but for now let's wait for the release of chapter 3 together. We appreciate and love you very much! Thank you very much for playing and waiting for the next chapters!

So far you guys absolutely deserve it. I like card games and that one you guys have included is hard to get into but fun once you do. And that artwork is graphic novel good. Your artists are very talented! Thanks for making a great looking game so far!
