Coming up in Private Dick

Hi! I thought I'd take a moment to talk about my plans for Private Dick over the next month.

There are over 40 cases planned for Private Dick - almost all of them have at least one lewd scene and most have several. These range from peeking and voyeurism, to outercourse and teasing, to full-blown sex scenes, to lesbian slideshows. And that's not including the social media posts which will have plenty of spicy stuff for you.

I'm really trying to do something a bit different with Private Dick. Exciting and alternative sex. Diversity in cast and kinks. Strong female characters who you can really care about (or really hate). A unique art style. A story that matters.

Here's what's planned for the demo:

• A nicer opening menu where you set your boxout options (this is a really important screen IMO and it needs a lot of work)
• Update character sprites for a better range of expression
• Add a few new images (like Emily getting dressed after the romp on the desk)
• Add a new case, starring June Van Beek in a very unusual scene
• Make sure that the side-images in dialog match character faces during CGs (particularly in Emily's scene). I think this will do a LOT for the emotional intensity of the scene.

As well as working on the demo content, I'm busy working full-time to write out the story, design the CG scenes, and integrate the amazing work from my art team. I'm really excited for the future of the project.

A major difference between the demo and full game is in linearity. There's not much content in the demo so it's a linear walk through the short storyline. But the full game will take more of an open-world approach, with several cases running in parallel and lots of optional content.

I don't want to give away any spoilers, but here are some of the storylines planned for the full game:

• The Van Beek Fiasco. Follow the scheming and fighting of Dutch and June Van Beek: one an eminent psychologist, the other a bitter trophy wife. Steele gets tangled in a case of kidnapping, hidden identities, and even a most heinous murder (is sex on a coffin too much? Anyone know?).
• Social Media Guru. A struggling influencer is trying to break out online but can't seem to get the hits. But with a bit of guidance from Sam Steele, she starts to come out of her shell and learn that the more she shares, the more her followers will give her.
• The Runaways. All is not well at Gresham's Finishing School, where promising eighteen-year-old girls go to blossom into successful young women. The Matron is struggling to retain the interest and loyalty of the latest intake, and turns to Sam Steele for help.
• Liar, Liar. Olivia just won't stop lying to Sam Steele. This returning client is constantly trying to manipulate Steele to her own ends. How will Sam wipe the lies from her mouth?

I can't finish the game without funding, so I need your help to spread the word. I'm looking for at least 500 followers here before I launch - and there's a long, long way to go.
