Sunday Devblog: August 24, 2025

Hey everyone!

Last week I held a poll in the devblog offering all supporters to vote on whether they'd prefer a shorter early release or wait for the completed chapter 6.

The results of the poll are in. 31% voted for a release soon, while the majority voted to wait. I want to sincerely thank you all for the thoughtful comments and support that came with those votes. If anything, it just reminds me that this is the best community I could ask for.

I completely understand that those who voted for a release soon will be a bit bummed to have to wait longer. All I can say is that the extra time will ensure the game gets the polish it really needs. I want to please everyone, but I believe a rushed release, even if it had trimmed content, wouldn’t deliver the experience you deserve.

So here is my pledge: Chapter 6 will be ready before the end of October, in time for a release before Halloween. At the very least, the timing will fit perfectly with the theme.

If this upsets you I completely understand. You pledge to this patreon and expect a release then it doesn't come. I'd be upset too! If you have grievances please DM me. I will take the time to chat with you.

All this said, after last week’s outpouring of support I can say I’m fired up to deliver the best update possible. I’m already working on the second half of the update, and I’m hoping to have some screenshots ready to share next week.

As for this week's progress, I finished up the remaining sex scenes and then the rest of this week was more under-the-hood work, focusing on bug fixing and making sure all the girl routes connect properly so events trigger as they should. Not much to show off, but sets me up to be ready for launch.

Q&A

Q: Why not release the first half anyway? Those who are okay to wait can wait?
A: Preparing the game for release even if cutting content means I need to spend time cutting out the content that isn't finished and make sure I don't break anything while I am at it. It takes away time I could put towards the completed chapter 6. Further, I'd need to prepare for the 1080p version so that everyone gets served equally and the 1080p version requires me to shrink all the assets carefully needs to be play tested as well. All this to say it isn't as easy as just upload what's finished.

Q: Why not leave unfinished content in? Just upload it as is!
A: Because then the files will have art that isn't ready, scripts that aren't polished, and I will get comments in the discord about bugs that are really just unfinished scenes. It will result in confusion at best, and lots un unnecessary spoilers at worst.

Q: So what's left?
A: The individual girl stories and post Christmas content. We all want more dates with our favorite girls right?

Thanks again for being here and for believing in this project. I’ll keep pushing forward and share more soon!

Send me a DM if you need to vent. I mean it. I don't take any support for granted and each of you has the right to be heard.
