New build late today

One day late isn't too bad for me, is it?

It won't be a huge one, mainly back end work. Biggest difference you'll notice play wise is probably that I've changed it so you can go on playing after the 40 days - it's now up to you to go to the beach and get rescued on day 40 if you want to. This might well cause some unexpected bug outs, but we can work on those. This is just probably the main thing people have been asking for, so I thought I'd get it done.

I'll try to get some more fun stuff in too.

Sharona's continuing to do awesome art, still haven't quite decided whether to share them here as they're done or keep them all secret til they're ready to go into the game.

Keep them untill they're in the game, it would better in my opinion but let us know about the progress.
Anyway you're doing a great job! Keep it up!

Keep em til they're ready. I feel it'll diminish the surprise if we get to see them all beforehand.

I am already super happy you got rid of the 40 day limit. Thank you!

Few things, first of all great work on the game so far. Really pleased with your progress and the way the game looks every time I stop in here.

Secondly, I say keep em, but every time you release a new build stash something like "8/41 images completed" or a percentage if you wish to be even more vague. Just some kinda running total so we know when to expect them.

Thirdly, Will there be a base image that will be changed as the NPC is mutated? For example: Sticking horns onto the highland Lassie, turning skin red and whatnot as that change occurs in the time frame of the game. Or will you just leave it at one per NPC and let us imagine the rest? If the former I would say make it one of the base girl and one of the end of her transformation line. If the later I would say cool beans, and in that case: Perhaps you should upload them as you get them from Sharona? Maybe along with a little bio attached about the character. Could add some fun fluff coming up with a few sentences or a paragraph of back story.

@vance

i was actually planning on doing edits to the base image for minor things (like lassie's horns) and maybe doing a different image for when they're fully mutated. having the same picture edited over and over is boring.

Huh, I was actually of the opinion that you shouldn't keep them all hidden, and then use each as sorts of advertisers when appropriate. So when there is an update to the Chav, you post the picture of the Chav. I wasn't expecting everyone to suggest a lid on everything like this.

As a whole though, I don't think there is a whole lot of point in keeping too much secret for new content while the game is still in development if you're releasing new builds fairly regularly.

There are a few characters that I can't wait to see the art for...
