Studio FOW has released another developer diary for Subverse, in which they shared their future development plans for the game. The diary turned out to be very extensive, but the news for those who were expecting the release of version 1.0 this year is not very promising.
All future updates will focus on loyalty quests - lengthy story missions that conclude the romantic arcs of the characters. Once the Captain reaches level 30 of loyalty with any waifu, he will receive a message from her inviting him to visit, after which an optional (but strongly recommended) quest will begin.
The reward for completing the quest will be a long four-minute bedroom scene. However, the developers have decided that in early access, they will only provide a teaser, with full-length videos appearing in the 1.0 update. This is done to prevent them from being leaked prematurely to adult websites.
Developing a single quest takes approximately 40 days, so every three months, players will receive two quests. The first ones will be for DEMI and Lily, whose quests will be released at the end of September. Once all loyalty quests are released, the 1.0 version will be released, featuring the final battle and the conclusion of the game’s storyline. This will only happen next year.
After the release of version 1.0, all old save files will be deleted, as the game will undergo significant changes and they will become incompatible.
All subsequent increases in waifu loyalty level, up to the maximum level of 40, will be accompanied by receiving various trophies:
– audio recordings with explicit conversations up to 2 hours long;
– waifu posters that can be used to decorate the Captain’s cabin;
– new hairstyles/eyes and the ability to recolor the Huntress;
– unique items for ground battles;
– sexy outfits.
Leveling up the manticores will become more convenient, so that players do not have to level up each one individually and they will always be up to date and ready for battle.
DEMI will have her own augmentation leveling system. Every few levels, it will provide bonuses such as increased experience for other waifus, increased navigation speed and effectiveness of Maria Celeste, reduced ship upgrade costs, and some interesting customization options.
Taron will have his own shop, where various collectible items can be purchased.
The planetary exploration system will be changed to make it more interesting. This will be the focus of a separate diary. Ground battles will be improved: enemies will become smarter, bosses will be more unique, equipped items and consumables will be added, and the DEVA mode will be reworked.
Girls who were deprived of bedroom scenes on Pandora (such as Taron) will receive more videos in version 1.0. The interface and dialogue system will be improved, mainly focusing on the quest log, level-up screens, access to ship compartments, etc. Additionally, a special DLC event at Studio 69 nightclub will be released for Kickstarter backers.
