Tuesday progress report

Shark Dating Simulator XL+ · published 22 Aug 2017, 12:16 UTC

Senpai... you noticed me? Better give a progress report then.

First off, I'm hoping to upload the first update to SDSXL the end of this week. This will feature small fixes and a couple of new features. After that, I'll actually get going on the second sharky story.

One addition will be the ability to choose your gender which will mean gender-specific changes to the text such as the earth-shattering event detailed here.

You can of course choose to be male or female, and there might even be an exciting third option.

Secondly, there will some graphical polish. Here's the beach in progress.

I will especially be buffing up the naughty scenes. :3

I'm also looking at other ways of packing the game which might solve the problems some players were having with images not showing up. I do have Smart Packer Pro, which I was dubious about using as I have heard reports that it doesn't work too well with Windows 10. If anyone has any experience of that, I'd be interested to hear from you.

Finally, another request being put in place is that the game will recognise certain savepoints, so if you have to abandon your shark adventure mid-game you'll be able to carry on from the most recent checkpoint you passed.

A few players have asked about trading cards, etc. I have these all uploaded and ready. As soon as the game passes Steam's minimum criteria and I'm allowed to make these live, live they will be.

Thanks to everyone who has bought and supported this nonsense so far. I've been especially impressed with the amount of videos on Youtube that have sprung up. Stay aboard the ship champ, I have lots more in store!

Community30 Nov 2021Last day for the crowdfunderHello folks. Today is the very last 24 hours for the Shark Dating XL+ crowdfunder over on IndieGogo! There's still merch left to claim - at this point, we reached 87% of the goal (that's £2,639 out of £3,000, math fans) which isn't too bad at all. It'll keep me going over Christmas anyway, as Indiegogo pay out even if the goal falls short. But if you haven't pitched in and would still like to,…In-game event10 Nov 2021Update 1.0.4Why hello there. SDSXL+ 1.0.4 has just dropped into your Steam tray. New features include: Text to Speech option added. It sounds much as you'd expect, depending on which TTS languages you have installed on Windows, but the game can now read out the dialogue for you. It makes the odd curious goof, but it tries its very best. Save/Load game functionality added. Access this from the options menu…Game update6 Nov 2021Hotfix 6/11Another hotfix! · Fixed the original game being corrupted in the download. · Some minor spelling errors, etc. corrected. · The menu screen has been reverted to regular colours as we're past Halloween at this point. · Minor bits and piece. Trading cards, backgrounds, badges etc. are currently in review so hopefully these will go live next week. - Catfood
