What is the nationality of your "canon" or favourite agent?
Note: this won't affect how much content we write for the nationalities; we're committed to supporting all featured nations equally. We're just interested in which are popular, and which are niche.

This dev testing version has the working screens for each of the 4 years at university (and graduation), and a play-through of the new Kink Vignette system. You'll notice lots of placeholder text, but hopefully this will give you an idea of how the structure will al...

All the university code is working now, but I also want to add some new artwork and content so the experience will be a bit more enjoyable for you, and I'm running out of daylight so I think I will need a day more than I thought. :-( Sorry for the delay.

You probably assumed I would already have done this, but today I drew a chart of all the screens that are needed to implement the Lifepath, and accurately assessed what percentage of the work is still remaining.
It turns out that my estimate of 86% was optimistic. In fact, only 38% of the screens are done. There's still a lot of work to do before release. :-(
I’m really sorry to have overestimated the progress. ...
