Been a while since I've posted an art preview! Let's take a quick look at how Lauren's coming along!

Dev Blog #124 - Expanding The Pit

Greetings everyone!

Let's talk about The Pit!

Expanding Functionality

Update 4.0.1 will introduce the expanded Pit system, allowing you to finally interact with those unfortunate enough to find themselves within its confines. You can think of The Pit as an isolated experimentation center for you to really let your inner mad scientist run free. You'll be given access to all of the ...

Dev Blog #123 - On The Table

Greetings everyone!

This week I'll be talking about The Pit, so everyone please find a partner and stay with the group!

Middling Management

Before we finish out November's content, Update 4.0.2 is going to focus entirely on establishing the new system in The Pit which will finally allow players to experiment (and potentially turn a profit) on those unfortunate enough to end up down there. The system is still in very early stages of development and most functionality is sti...

Dev Blog #122 - Burning the Midnight Shisha

Greetings Everyone!

Today's devblog is going to be a short one as I work through the remaining update content, so let's jump in!

Journey to Thanksgiving

The main initiative for Update 4.0.1 is going to be the big new Saturday date event which is what's currently being actively worked on. Players will get a nice solid scene with one of a few different potential characters depending on who you've been spending you time with thus far. This will be the last major event in the ...

Dev Blog #121 - Everything's a Little Bit Weird Now

Greetings everyone!

I've started listening to nightcore while I code. I'm not apologizing.

Wore My Brown Pants Today

You know how, like, when you need to wash your car, like really badly, but every time you try to start something or someone gets in your way and you have to put it off another day. And like, as the days go by you get more and more stressed because you've had to keep putting off washing your car. And then, like, you finally get a day that's totally open and y...

No Dev Blog Today

Greetings everyone!

One of the drawbacks of a story-heavy update is that when everything's working as intended, there's really not much to report! That's the case this week as I work through the new date scenes before moving into the big Thanksgiving event. I expect to have Tasha's complete scene out by the end of the week to dev build testers. In the meantime, it's business as usual for now!

Dev Blog #120 - The Big Date

Greetings everyone!

We're at the point in development where we're preparing to start in on some of Chapter 4's larger events, and that's what we're gonna be talking about today!

The Big Date - Redux

One of my personal favorite events from Chapter 3 was the large Saturday date event, wherein you had the opportunity to choose to spend your entire day with your choice of characters based on your relationships to them.

This kind of event will be making a return for Updat...

Update 4.0 - There and Back Again

All in all I'm pretty happy with the general stability of the latest update, as long as we all ignore that little save game issue from the first backer build, *cough*. That said, there have still been a few issues that have come to light ...

No Dev Blog This Week

Greetings everyone!

It's a nose-to-the-grindstone week here in the office and unfortunately that hasn't left much time for a proper dev blog. Sophie's new content for the update is officially complete and now it's a matter of finalizing the SMS content and addressing lingering issues.

As such, there won't be a proper devblog this week. We'll see you all next week!

Working While Working

In the interest of transparency, I'm finding myself in the unfortunate position of trying to develop The Company while also being pulling in about a hundred different directions and doing, well, a lot of everything! Never mind trying to find some mental stability, I'm also having to contend with juggling ALL THE BALLS! And not in the sexy way!!!

Game Spotlight - Fashion Business

From the developer:

“Fashion business” is a game about Monica, a beautiful lady, but also a real b**ch.

Bear witness to Monica plummeting down the social ladder. You will get full control over her character and make various decisions which will affect the plot. There are a lot of other pretty girls in the game as well.

This game has a lot of different settings, realistic gfx, animations, and an exciting st...
