Current status of work on v0.24 (as 28.4.2023)

Hello you absolute legends.

We will also try to show more often to display our current progress (It was not very visible right now) We understand many of you are interested what we are working on and share information more frequently (You are right, we need get better at it)

Our creative progress summary - Good news everyone!:

We are making good progress with the new release, it looks awesome, we hope to start animating both new sex scenes tomorrow. We decided to make Bella's reactions animated, similarly as when you talked to harmony she opened mouth or listened, but this time we want to include at least 10 emotions for reactions and interaction during Bella's streaming sessions to make them feel like talking in real with her.

Chat GPT helped us a lot get into the mindset of a character. What needs to be done is a new text spawning system for shorter talks there at one space quickly + there is a chat on the right side which is not working well visually with bottom conversation chat, some prototyping will be needed to choose what feels best.

Also you can expect new public release of 0.22.5. New improved GUI - it will feel little weird as it is different at first but overall it looks more professional. Also we reworked the text spawning to be more interesting, smooth, with text animations in many non disruptive variations, marking important text parts, like locations or time (similarly like character names) just animated differently + linked to given character to feel naturally (so there won't be overflow of too many different fx at once) and also new emotion icons like emoji during texts.

This all will be first attempt in this direction to later turn into more immersive experience marking important moments and information within the texts. Plus some new options in the settings too (also text speed better scaled) and TONS of bugfixes - some major issues fixed like pre-loading animations 5seconds earlier before they are spawned (to spawn them instantly) or fixing black screen effect that spawned too often in many cases, .

The graph shows the progress in different game areas for current update

There are many ongoing related activities, some happening simultaneously (writing the story that usually comes as the first thing, mid parts - eg. testing the parts which are done, fixing bugs, having graphics finished and ready for animations..)

There is also some streamlining work for upcoming updates too

Like creating story boards up front to have options to choose from and graphic designer member can start working on them while I animate the finished sex scenes and compose all stuff together for testers (Planning all this while having main work job is challenging).

QA -When will be next release?

About a week for v0.24 I guess. It will be available as early access first for our patrons. There will be v0.22.5 public release in 1-2 days. The 0.23 will become public roughly at the same time after 0.24 is released. (At the moment we would like to
keep early access up to 2-3 weeks)

QA - What will be next?

Results confirms what we thought - Primarily start with the Judy story followed soon after with Jess story as the most wanted next 2 contents - both needed to be created asap. We will ensure to progress with these right after we finish our current v0.23 update and keep you updated more. While we are at it do you like summary post like this one? Tell us in the comments.

Thank you all for your support, it enables us to work on this project more.
