Okay I’ve done everything now I think. This update took me at least twice as long as the first update to finish. The side quest dungeon was fun (and sad) and had some pretty impressive sprites as well.
I am super interested to see how the story is going to justify these characters ever choosing to do something that causes them to gain weight specially someone like dawn but so far so good dude keep it up!
I’ve got to say – I’m particularly captured by the amount of thought put into the story / lore, mostly because it is entirely believable that humanity would go such such extremes. I look forward to more!
Practical bug for 99’s robot bodies: it looks like the Robot Slayer body’s code got a typo and it costs 30 component As instead of 3 like it looks like every other suit is intended to cost.
That one is intentional. Component A is the cheapest, so 30 of them don’t cost to much. All the different bodies should cost roughly the same amount in chips to assemble, give or take 100 in either direction.
Thank you! Each character gets a pair of unique (and optional) story arc that will cause them to gain weight. All these quest arcs will span over the whole game in parts, and I can’t wait to share them! It’ll take a special sort of someone to break Dawn’s shell
I’m so glad you liked it! I had a ton of fun putting the lore together, especially 99’s dialogue describing why Humanity treats Catgirls the way they do. I’ll be sprinkling in some more lore through the game of how humanity went from it’s age of war, to its new age of Hedonism.
Are there any plan for new playable members to join the Rebles later in the game or will it just be 99 , Dawn , BB and Amber leading the charge ? Or will we get characters like Pythia, not playable but still a main character in the overarching story?
When you say 7 side quests I assume there’s one for each of the rebles: Dawn, 99 lives , BB , Amber and Pythia. Maybe one with Jaiden as well checking in on him, with the last being a goofy non - character focused quest. Just speculation though.
Actually it’s 2 for Amber, 2 for Dawn, 2 for BB and 1 for 99L1V35.
Each side quest will play during the city exploration sections. They will for the most part not have any combat and instead be more focused on character development…and character weight gain! Each of the side quests will have a character go up in weight (except 99) and unlike with bad ends, this gain will be permanent.
We decided to do something a little different with the updates for the rest of this work period of Atlas. Since we’re doing 3 rather self contained character quests, we saw no reason not to put them out as soon as they were finished! Amber’s already up for $10 patron, and its overall schedule is listed below!
We’ll update this calendar as we finish, but Dawn should be done near the end of the Month and BB in mid-June. Sorry that’s a bit over the projected time, but once that’s wrapped up we’re going back to Apostles for the rest of the year!
Normally we keep character previews hidden behind tiers, but since Jaden is hardly a new character, CJ and I wanted to share this for everyone now. He wanted to clean up his design a bit, and make it smoother! Hope you like it!
Heyo! It’s time for Amber’s quest to go public! It’s the first of three! Expect about 1 a month!
This content is about 20-30 minutes long and the quest can be started by heading to the blue ghost I-Scream Parlor in Downtown. If you get lost on the other steps, check the notice board in Pythia’s room.
Any old save should work, but there’s also some pre loaded in if you need them. Saves 1 and 2 are right after the Cowson prologue, and the file in Save 3 is right after you leave the Broker’s House for the first time.
These two links both provide the exact same update, and are just different websites to download from.
It will change Amber’s sprite and cg if you go and do the nurse quest after.
Also, fun fact for when it comes out, if you do the upcoming Dawn’s quest before Amber’s ice cream quest, there’s an NPC from Dawn’s quest that shows up.
So there will be some cross over and minor differences depending on order, but mainly just flavor text.
And thank you for the compliment, glad you liked Amber’s quest!
A budding romance, training montage, eating contest and your signature plot twist ontop of the first stage of Ambers gains all in 20 - 30 minutes bravo !!!
Can’t wait to see what you have in store for the other 2, especially Dawn as she’s more machine than catgirl at the moment so a couple of hundred pounds might help to rebalanced the “scales”.
Some good pampering would for sure do the trick, after such a tough life she 100% deserves it!
Did want to ask a few things as well -
Will we be able to see the girl weights in the future, like in the weight stats room in Apostles or will their weights be subject to speculation?
Do you think you’d ever add a eating contest mini game, which players could play once they’ve completed a dungeon to earn more chips?
Thirdly can we expect the party to vist the hover chair store in the future or is that whimsical thinking?
Way ahead of you there! If you check the menu and then hit “status” it lets you view some stats for the girls. Most are for combat, but the last displays their current weight in pounds, and is updated as the girls gain!
If you check the vet, there is even a healing item that does more the higher the lb. It’s a pretty awful item now, but will become one of the best later on as the girls grow heavier!
Maybe! We have talked about adding some very mundane but repeatable “part-time jobs” that let you slowly make 100 chips at a time. In case any player gets themselves stuck or don’t want to do ANY of the wg quests and pay Pythia’s fee.
This was a fun little mission it added some world building and I like the new Character and there Relationship with Amber it was cute but I got a bad feeling knowing you that you have a twisted plan for her but I am still okay with that because i do want to see more.
