Hey, everybody!
It's time to share a few more features about the development of Wet Sand.
Today we'll talk about the third chapter, show a couple of interesting things and touch on plans.
Chapter 3 and the duration
It so happened that during the development process we changed the approach to the length of chapters several times. Initially it was planned something about 9 chapters for dozens of hours, but over time we realized that it is better to concentrate the story and execute it qualitatively. Thus, the course is now set for the release of 5 chapters.
In the third one we wanted to add something new, and among other things, this new thing was third-party quests. You won't be forced to go through them, because, roughly speaking, they are "loyalty" tasks with team members, and if you don't like any of them, you can skip this part of the content (but we recommend trying everything). Thanks to these side tasks, the game has grown and will be 10-15% bigger than the second part. In the next developer diary we'll talk more about them and reveal the number of quests and the girls who will give them to us.
A ship that you will definitely encounter in this chapter
There's no denying that the story is evolving and maturing. There were a lot of debates and opinions on how best to proceed - to create a kind and pleasant world or a more realistic and gloomy one. We chose the golden mean and will show very exciting events in this chapter. The scriptwriter tried to create emotional swings, the artists create authentic atmosphere, and the programmer puts everything together and will not leave you without new mini-games! In this chapter you will meet some new characters, make some hard choices and prepare for a big decision to be made towards the end of the game.
Once again, we'd like to say about the chapter release date - we're targeting January-February 2024, so everything is on the roadmap.
Cards, badges, etc.
- The designer is working hard on content for the Steam. Before the release of chapter 3 we will try to please you with backgrounds, avatars, cards and badges;
- Prepared new achievements (it seems that by the release there will be about a hundred of them);
- Approved and already started drawing more than 5 new animations and even more adult content, but also keep a balance between exciting story and racy scenes;
- Always looking back, fixing the mistakes of past chapters.
What's there to look at?
We really want you to experience the emotions directly in the game when you are immersed in the story. Therefore, many things we can't show you. Sorry, it's for your own good :)
But we can do this: in this chapter, some characters will appear to you in a new light, clothes, hairstyle.

We would like to thank you, the players, for your interest in the game! Please ask any questions, write suggestions and feedback - it is incredibly motivating and helps the project to develop!
