Start of month update..

Hey Folks,

Just wanted to start by saying thanks again to all of you for the support over the past couple of months.  It really is much appreciated.  It's now eight days since the early release of 0.06 has come out, and the feedback so far has been very positive (just one minor continuity error in a single render that I've since fixed).  It was a struggle getting it out in time for the 25th, but I took most of the last week off work, so it worked out well (and just in time). &nb...

Episode 5 general inputs

Just starting to write Episode 5, so now's the chance to give any inputs.  I have it pretty much mapped out in my head, but there's always a chance  I can squeeze something in based on end-user feedback (if it makes sense).  And there's always scope to add in general changes (e.g. I received a request to add in more renders per scene to represent different emotions on characters faces during conversations...so that's something I can accommodate as I go...)

Midweek Update

Just to clarify, my earlier post is a joke, so please don't be concerned for my welfare!! LOL

Joking aside....  Just putting the finishing touches to episode 0.06a, so it's definitely still on track for release on the 25th.   I took a few days off work this week and  I really needed them to get this done.  No complaints from me - I really enjoyed having the time to spend 16-17 hour days developing.  So no concerns of burn-out or boredom.   The days flew ...

Dev monthly Life Cycle (death-cycle) !

So.... The Cycle continues...  And by that I mean my monthly Dev cycle for the past  number of months have all been the same.  I keep thinking it's going to be different, but nope!  The cycle is as follows:

Week 1:  Take it relatively easy for the first 2 days because I'm still happy I got the last update complete.  Then as the week closes, I start upping the workload as I begin to feel overwhelmed about how much work I need to do and start to think I'll be lucky ...

Monday update

0.06a still on track for a release this week.   I have completed a scene with Katie, a scene with Zarah, a scene with Katie's friends (and a minor one with Katie and her friends).  Have all renders for a Monica scene complete (just need to finish writing it) and about 50% of the script & renders for Jenna's scene complete.    Taking a day off tomorrow to get most of it finished to allow me a couple of days to test it out to see if all variables / story branches ...

First 100 Patrons

All - Thanks a lot for your patronage.  I'm delighted to have reached 100 patrons.  Here's a 4K render as promised.  Not an actual scene from the game!

Let me know what you think!!

General discussion 2

And I posted this in response to a comment about supporting the game, where someone called themselves a "free-loader" for not paying for the game:

 And don't worry about being a "free-loader". This game is a free game. However, if I earn some cash while I do it, I'm not going to complain. Initial plan is to break even and cover the money I've already spent and then everything after that will determine how much time I can free up from work to spend on this (more patreon money = ...

General discussion

Hey Folks,

I posted this on another forum (in response to a player's feedback / inputs on story direction), so just wanted to share:

 There are some characters (e.g. Zarah) whose relationship / character, etc. will develop but in the end they are not a "primary" character and there won't be a "happily ever after - one woman for me" option for these type of characters. These are effectively your one-night-stand (or 3 or 4 night stands) type of characters. With some of the primary cha...

Midweek (+1) Update

Should have been a Wednesday update, but got sidetracked yesterday setting up my new rig.   (Bought a new rig instead of updating my graphics card, so now I have two PCs to render on, so I expect to get more renders complete per episode)

Version 0.05 will be released for ALL tomorrow.

Version 0.06a still on track for release on 25th.

$5 Dollar reward tier now available

FYI Folks,  There is now a $5 reward tier available.  Check out the Rewards section for more details....

Just Curious ?

 So how much progress would everyone like to see in the next episode (e.g. romance only, kiss, french kiss, voyeurism, HJ, BJ, fuck etc. or anything else ?) for each of the 3 main females ? Remember, it's still only the second day.....
Won't be changing the script for this episode based on these inputs (already have the whole episode mapped out), so this isn't an official poll or anything.  Just curious as to people's opinion..... 

Sneak Peek for all Patrons

Episode Revs, Dev Updates & Polls

Three other points to note:

Episode Revisions

A quick note on my revision usage.  .01 / .02 / 0.3 / 0.4 are obvious enough, they just reflect sequential release.  And I'll continue with that.  Although if I get to 100 releases it'll be like the Y2K bug all over again :) and will need a "Grey pubes or not poll" in a few years. Or it'll be good enough to become a 1.00 rev....

For 0.05a - This is the alpha / early release version for $10 patrons.

...

Wednesday Update

Hey Folks,  Spent a lot of time last week and this week working on second half of Day 2.  Have approx. 35 renders complete so far, but only happy with approx 25, so will need to touch these up.  (Touch these up?  I can't even make a dev update without sounding dirty, ).  And some initial setup has been complete for another 5 or 6 renders.

 Estimating that this episode will have approx 50-60 renders.  All of Day 1 (Ep 1 & 2) had approx. 100 renders and Par...

Option A

For the Bush Poll

NSFW Poll (Monica's George W...)

Ok folks, there's been lots of different inputs / requests about Monica's George W.  (Bush), so have cobbled together a couple of options.  Please take a look and let me know your preference.

Vote is for Patrons only with $10 patrons having a weighting factor of 10 on their votes...

Wednesday update

I promised myself a couple of nights off, so just chilling after work (and I just bought some new DAZ assets that I'll need for future episodes), so no game progress tonight, but if anyone has any  questions / comments / feedback or general chit-hat, feel free to shoot..... (here or on discord).

Back working on the game tomorrow.....

Release 0.05a is ready

OK, folks.  Today /tonight's work took me a lot longer than expected to finish, but it's now ready.  I pulled an all-nighter (currently 06:36 local time), just finished, haven't slept and leaving for work in 45 minutes.  This isn't a complaint or looking for sympathy.  I enjoyed it. :)

But other than any bug-fixes in this version, I'm going to take 2-3 days off working on the project to get back to my real life. 

This alpha release is only for Super-Fans ($10 pat...

Sunday update

Folks,  I'm working on it all day to try to get something released later (for the $10 patrons). It will be 4 standard scenes (with another two shorter scenes). I have 4 scenes complete and 2 more almost complete (renders are complete, just finishing script).  Will be at it for the rest of the evening, because I want to get something out ASAP.  I'm a bit behind, because I found a problem with some variables that I had to fix...

As soon as I have 6 scenes complete, I'll post links...

Poll on future content....

Looking for some inputs for future episodes.  Have lots of ideas, but will tweak depending on what people want, so let me know what you'd like to see MORE of.

Voyeurism (spying)>  As the name suggests, more peeping/spying as ladies undress, etc...

Sex scenes >  No tease, no romance, just more sexual release  

Tease scenes >  Building up sexual tension / foreplay / kissing, etc.

Romance/flirting > more scene...

This scene will be in this weekend's release

Day 2 Morning

Expect to have a partial Day 2 alpha version ready by Sunday (for $10 fans).  Public release in 2 weeks.

Monday Update

Hello All,

Firstly, a Patreon update:  I've added a $10 tier to Patreon which comes with a few rewards including early access (alpha) to releases.

Secondly, I'm currently away with work, so won't be working on new renders for the next couple of days, but I got through quite a few before I left and can continue the Day 2 script while I'm away.  I'll be back home later this week, so hope to have an alpha release ready for the new tier by Sunday.  It should include approx. 50...

Patron only teaser....
