Status update - Tiny delay

I'm really sorry about not being able to hold up my release dates... again. But look at Gina! You can be mad at her!! (or me, hopefully...)

 Still I should be able to finish up the little villain arc till the end of the week. All that's left is polishing up the remaining images (which I finally received today!!!) and implement them into the game. Change a few lines to adjust to the images, add transitions... all doable though 😅

January Status update 2

Greetings, ladies and gentlemen,

quick update on the current status. The text is now fully done. One round of proof-reading and corrections and we are good to go on that part. The simple code for Xici's lab is done too. 

Only thing missing are a few images I should be getting or doing myself over this week. So January is still possible, even if I have to put this all together quickly then. Dependant on when I receive my stuff it might delay by a few days, but definitely not l...

Pervy Dream Scene - Yes or no?

As described in the last Status update, we could decide if another dream-scene should get added or not. Let me hear what you guys think.

January status update

Greetings,

just wanted to give you all a quick update.

Progress on my villain arc is good. Text is about 80% done. Only missing the big finale (since it needs to be in line with the finale of the parallel Stella-Arc) and the growth/training scenes (since I need to write them along the images I'm about to get). And with the help of Legion and Belg on images the January goal seems very feasible. I already received some Alpha-Versions of the images they are working on and they look r...

Possible Relationships - Read the Diary 11 first though!

Here it is! You can pick multiple options, but as this is supposed to give me an estimate on the interest, maybe limit yourself to the 3 characters you would be most interested in. As described in the Dev-Diary, this vote is not final, but meant to help me choose which routes to focus first. And of course I'm aware that characters like Jonathan, Philipp, Aline or Akari did not yet have the screen-tim...

Happy new year, everyone!

I'm very glad the new update seems to be mostly well received as I got many nice comments about it in the last weeks. And I want to thank all my patrons for their continued support and welcome the new ones! It's really making a difference on my end.

So with the public release right around the corner I thought I'd give all my patrons a heads up on where we are headed next. As mentioned, I planned for two intermediate releases before the next big update rol...

Update 3 - Bigger and better

It's out.. and after just 11 weeks. As previously mentioned, there are some images not yet reworked, specifically the old animations. This will be updated until either the public release or the update 4 then.

Anyway, here's the download-link:

Have fun and don't hold back with any feedback. I...

Status update

First test-versions were shipped out today. Let the bug-hunt begin.

Time for me to relax, drink some cacao and wait for the bug-lists to come in..

As if.. back to working on the missing images for the old content 😑 To kill some time until the first reports come flying in..

Status update

Greetings,

time for my usual bad excuses prior to my updates. 

Sadly college was a real drag, but my last exam for this year is now finished. Sadly my master of code had been sick for a week, just when we started rebuilding some core-functions. And sadly I constantly come up with new weird ideas on what to add.. (Fan-Art gallery for the stream, new dialogue here and there..).

HOWEVER, all scenes but one are finished and the last one will be done in the next days. From t...

Status Update

Greetings,

I humbly approach you all, to tell everyone that my ambitious plan with the November-Release won't be happening. And I'm sorry about that. Skull and me have been krumpin almost every night in the last weeks for hours, but the amount of work behind this art-rework is simply staggering. It is something that I have in my naivety greatly underestimated. Which only leaves me with some limited options:

1) Make Gina bald!! Damn ungrateful MC of mine with her terrible hair take...

Status update

Greetings, ladies and gentlemen.

Just as a quick update, I'm well into the art-rework, having finished most of the other chars and finally started on Gina herself. My GPU is running hot for hours a day, to hopefully get this November-goal done. Also Skull Lad is doing stellar work on Stella, so at least that one I won't have to do myself :D

And with some small regrets I won't have all my goals full-filled this update. The big UI-overhaul and the more complex exploration of the...

Dev-Diary 10

Greetings, ladies and gentlemen.

I've been busy with working on this game and yet there is little new stuff to report. But let's look at the different topics and see what I've been up to.

Writing: Pretty much done. All the core scenes I planned are written out. Was quite a bit of work, not to mention that those had to consider different choices with Stella and Mike with their possible romance-paths. And Morlas has outdone himself again with writing some great scen...

Picture Day - Halloween

No story, just my Halloween pics.

Dev-Diary 9

Greetings, ladies and gentlemen,

time for my biweekly update. So first things first, I plan to get the next update out in November, but there is a lot of work left. Still, should be doable..

So, followers on my Discord should already know that I have been offered help on multiple occasions and my little group of contributors is slowly expanding. With Morlas and Silva I have two very talented authors to write a few scenes ( the great Morlas was responsible for the feats of strength...

Dev-Diary 8

Greetings, let me give you another quick update.

As I was saying on my last post, I took some time trying to get into SD and experimenting with different models. Using the time directly after an update to broaden my skill-set is slowly becoming kind of my thing. Last time it was learning Python-Basics, this time it was learning SD-basics. Now I slowly feel like I'm good enough to mostly "work" instead of "learn" when I boot up SD.

So, posted a few images again. This is probably my...

Dev-Diary 7

Greetings everyone,

time to let you in on one of the topics currently taking up the most of my attention and might influence to future of the game significantly. I talked about the art and the possibility of a collaboration in the past already. I now received the offer from one of the most prestigious and skilled AI-artists around (the man has many names, but on my Discord he goes by Skull-Lad. Some might have seen images by him already.) to help me rework the entire image catalogue. 2023-10-08 21:54:21 +0000 UTC View Post

Let the games begin!

Gentlemen, I am again very grateful for your support and your incredible patience with my slow ass. Exactly two month ago to the day, the update 1 was released and finally today, it's time for the second. 

Learning and getting taught the basics of Python was an incredible experience and will hopefully not only find use in the combat module, but in the construction of the whole game with new possibilities.
Also I would like to thank my many helpers, providing help on coding, imag...

Quick Status

"Sure hon, I'll bring your update right after I stow these barrels. You guys want some drinks while you wait?"

Version for play-testing will be compiled today. I'll give my testers a few days and do some last minute polish on a few images. Expect the update to drop early to mid next week. 

Status update

"Want something to drink while you wait? Some snacks maybe?"

Text: Done, everything is written and implemented.

Images: All accounted for, still need a bit of polish. Some still need to be implemented properly.

Code: Written, but needs some extensive testing.

I really thought, that if I'd become better at AI-Image-Generation, my work would be faster done. Sadly the very opposite is true. While earlier I simply accepted poor images (Does he have two mustaches? Eeeh, I'...

Dev-Diary 7

Greetings everyone!

I've been silent here for too long. Which should by no means be interpreted as me not working my butt off! The very opposite is true! Let's dive into a few topics, cause I have a few things to talk about:

Release: We're getting close to finishing up Update 2. Patron-Release will be in 1-2 weeks, that should still be doable, even though I constantly add more stuff to the list.

Assistants: I'm saying "we", because some of m...

Picture Day + Super Quick Status

If you think of the great minds of the renaissance, you think of DaVinci, Michelangelo, Botticelli and of many, many more. From today on, you also think of... "THE_DON"!?!?!

In my quest to perfect muscular nuns, I have, by accident, created a renaissance painting, thus putting my name into the ranks of these esteemed artists. (For anyone not so proficient in the history of art: It´s the tattered robe around the waist that makes it a renaissance painting.. I think..)
And a few pics...

Picture Day

I only now realised that many of my highly valued patrons aren´t on the Discord, so they won´t see any art posted there 😔But no worries, I got you. Here are a few of the pics shown there. 

And all of my barbarian girls got little stories written, which can be read on DA: Ginas-Gym User Profile | DeviantArt

Dev-Diary 6

Greetings, hope you´re all well. I think it´s time to give you all a lil' update on my progress again.

The bosses have voted almost unanimously on the next dream scene and the horny nuns basically crushed the draining demoness in the results. I honestly didn´t expect that, but as I said, I´m very content with both scenarios and will get to writing the scene in the coming weeks. Let´s see what mother superior Gina and her young protegee have in mind for our poor (or very lucky, depe...

Picture Day

Hi, here´s the summary of the barbarian-arc pictures. People on my Discord should know these images. Well, the sfw-variants at least.. 😋

Every girl got her own short story, posted on DA: Ginas-Gym User Profile | DeviantArt

With that distraction out of the way, back to the game. Combat is progressing. I said I´ll take two weeks, which will not work out completely. But it was close... Mechanics are wo...

The next big thing..

Greetings everyone, hope you´re all well. Let´s dive into it. Today I wanna talk about the next dream, but first a few words about my combat-script:

Let me tell you how fucking blue-eyed and naive I was. Coding this combat-engine is horrifying. The way the Renpy-Screen language interacts with variables differently and the sheer mass of code that needs to be written is definitely a challenge, since I´ve never coded in python before. And too bad that I´m a gamer at heart too, so makin...

Picture Day

I assume most of you have seen the images on my Discord already. But for the unlucky few who haven't, here's a little summary with a story snippet:

"The traveling monk hides his face ever deeper into his hood, as the howling december-winds lash across his face, leaving small icicles in his short beard. He lost his way on his pilgrimage and was seeking shelter for the night, as his gaze fell upon the silhouette of an old monastery in the distant. Little did he know, that in his desperat...

Dev-Diary 5

Greetings, I´m back from my vacation! I hope everyone had a good time too, because mine was amazing. But let´s get back to work, shall we? Starting with a quick update on progress.

On my To-Do-List:

New event with Xici: Written and "animated". All done.

Joint training events with the girls (Aline and Jade): Almost done. Text is written, some work on the images left. The idea is to make basic training a bit more interesting by creating events with the other girls. Some game...

Very rough road-map

First concept of a road-map. 

No dates for any of it though, since I´m still horrible with time-estimates.

Greetings and thanks to all new patrons

Let me just greet you all real quick. I´m really happy to have you around.

Seeing that my weird ideas actually resonated with some people feels great and having your support is incredibly motivating to continue on this journey of learning and writing. Although imagine me, being already squirmish at 25-30 patrons, almost triple that over a day..

Who would have guessed, that people actually contribute more if you deliver some content instead of promises 😉Still super grateful to ...

IT´S HERE!!

Greetings, let´s hope this all works out as intended. The new version is uploaded on itch.io and should be accessible to all Gangsters and Bosses. Over the following link you should be able to claim ownership and download the game:

If there are any troubles, let me know. Also, let me know if it works properly!...
