Almost there...

Mostly good news, folks! 🥳 (twice in a row, wow!) 

Re-rendering all the panels with alternative outfits ended up taking a bit more work than expected. It's another of those ideas that looks like a cute little something to add until you really stop and think it trough (which of course we didn't 😬) 

However, we are almost done, and we will probably wrap up by tomorrow. 

So, what's left? Well, while reviewing what we have created, we realized that there is ...

The light at the end of the tunnel

We finally get to give some good news; today we hit a milestone by rendering the last of our original panels which leaves us with just the alternate versions of already existing panels to work on. It's not something we have done before, certainly not on this scale, so is hard to make predictions but we should be able to get it wrapped up in time. Since that's relatively low effort work we can simultaneously spend some time fixing the code, sounds and of course, testing.

He runs, he leaps, he faceplants

Sorry folk but it's more delays.

Back at the beginning of the month we still had some hope we could deliver the update today but we're just not quite ready yet.

We were really counting on getting our best month ever in February but rather the opposite happened; we had all sorts of interruptions and mishaps and we ended up falling well behind where we should be.

In order to publish as soon as possible we broke the update in two; with the bulk of it coming out first and the se...

TMS production update February 1st

Just a small note this time around.  We're really dedicating every possible minute to finishing the TMS update and we're actually progressing at a pretty good pace.

We're still aiming for the end of February but it's looking more and more as will probably bleed well into March. Either way we're almost there.

Better get back to work 😥

Ringing in the new year with a TMS update

How is 2023 treating everyone so far?

We have been keeping busy; we're close to finishing the “main branch” play-trought for the next update and soon we'll begin working on all the branching paths. We're all learning the hard way a thing or two about branching narrative (Why or way did I made changing Sharon Outfit optional?😩 Now we have to create a whole branch where she is wearing her old clothes which practically no-one will ever see😒)

Merry Christmas

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas! 🎄

Rogue extra panels

Sorry for the delay folk; it's been busy around here.

Since rogue won the poll we created a few extra panels to celebrate. We'll be back real soon with a Christmas panel and probably a proper update on TMS after the holidays.

Latest news 12.02.22

November and its stuffed turkeys are in the rear view mirror and the holidays are coming fast 🎅.

We had a pretty good month with TMS in November mostly doing extremely boring stuff no one cares about, (it's not always pretty girls, sometime is recreating in painstaking detail an high school cafeteria🤷‍♂️) still, we got quite a few more panels done and we're pretty much done preparing the last locations for this installment.

Also in the news Rogue won our action girl po...

Action Girls - Samples

As promised we prepared a few panels to help everyone pick their favorite as our next action girl in the poll 

The poll closes on November 30

Happy Halloween !

Happy Halloween everyone!

A little sexy spookiness to cap a pretty good month; we're making decent progress on the game and we already have a few super-heroines panels for our poll with more in the works (who knew Rogue was that popular 😮).

May your lamp burn bright trough the night! 🎃

Let's pick the next Action Girl

After Lara Croft and Wonder Woman who will be the inspiration for our next Action Girl?

This time we are looking at marvel superheroines. We'll publish a few more panels with them between now and the poll's closing date to help everyone decide.

And talking of girls in skin tight costumes Hallow...

TMS Production update 9/30

So, a bit of good news for a change. 

We got all our files back (from the folk at Blizzard Data Recovery if you are ever in the same pickle) which kinda make all the work we did so far in rebuilding rather pointless 😕 (I really did not expect to get my originals back). 

Lots of time, lots of work and quite a bit of cash to be pretty much back where we were a month ago. It's not exactly a win but at least we got past yet another hurdle and we're back to moving forward....

TMS Production update 9/19

The latest news about TMS are here and they are... mixed.

We made some progress early in the month but mostly we have been dealing with the fallout of my very own spectacular blunder. We had one hard drive fail earlier in the month, which normally wouldn't have been much of an issue since we got backups of backups but of course this had to be my potato laptop which is the one computer I never bother to back-up and as it turned out had the only copies of my script, code and edited render...

TMS Beach fun 2/2

A bit more summer fun with the girls from TMS. We reached 270 renders for the game this week, which is not too bad but still a long way from the goal post.

We're going to take some time off ourselves and hopefully come back recharged in a few days. 

I'm pretty sure the last time i was exposed to sunlight was in 2020 so I am looking forward to it.

Meanwhile we wish a happy Labor Day weekend to everyone. It's the last of summer folk, enjoy it while you can 🌞

TMS Beach fun 1/2

The dog days of August may be behind us but we figured there was still time for some fun on the beach.

We have two batches of teasers with the girls from TMS in (and out of) their sexy bikini; we'll release the next one in a few days.

Meanwhile behind the scenes progress on TMS is (for once) roughly on schedule, hopefully we can do even better in the second half of the month.

TMS Production update 07/23/22

We're finally ready with a few previews for July.

It took a while longer then usual but we have been mostly focused on animations this month.

When it comes to them the new hardware is really making a big difference. We used to have to rely on previews that were so low in quality and resolution that a lot of mistakes wouldn't become noticeable until after we rendered the full size version; with better previews we have a far more clear idea of what the final animation will look like...

Happy 4th of July

Wishing everyone an happy 4th of July! 🥳

June is been a bit of a mess still, as far as TMS goes it's been our most productive month in a while. We made about 80 renders (and quite a bit of coding, sound editing etc...). All in all I would say we are about 40% done. Still a long way to go but we are definitely picking up steam 👍

TMS - Sexy Maids

A few teasers with the girls of TMS as sexy maids to brighten your day.

For the last two weeks we are been focusing solely on TMS, we are moving faster but still not nearly fast enough.

Somehow real life is always butting in. I can't help but thinking if I could airlift the whole team to an isolated cabin in the Andes we would probably have the whole game finished by next Wednesday 🤔.

Maybe we should use that as a Patreon target “80.000$ Relocate the team to Aconcagua, ...

TMS Production Update - 1st June 2022

As promised here is a quick update on TMS production.

Our work continues, but those carefully planned production milestone keep slipping away so, as it has pretty much become tradition by now, we're starting to shift time and resources from our other projects toward production of the game. Admittedly it's already been a long while since the last update and we still have a lot of work to do.

Meanwhile here are our latest previews including a little example of how decisions in the l...

Latest news - 5/23

Here are some Miss Hill-centric teasers to celebrate her coming out on top in the poll. Luckily there was already quite a bit of her in the original script so we'll just have to beef that part up a bit.

As some of you already know we finally decided to invest in a serious hardware update (sure enough we brought a bunch of GPUs literally days before the whole crypto-blockchain mess took a nosedive; we could probably get the same cards for half the price today; I just can't work up the co...

"A Town Called Freedom" Preview 3

Six more pages from our latest comic. Sorry it took so long, we finally got a much needed hardware update but we had quite a few issues getting it running. Hopefully now that we finally got it all working we'll be able to speed up production.

Battle of the Teachers - TMS poll

Since the result our last poll was somewhat uncertain we are having one more round between our sexy Teachers to decide who will hog the spotlight in the next installment, seductive Asian bombshell Miss Kimura or Buxon Amazon Miss Hill?

Poll closes on May 10

April's TMS Production Update

A quick production update on TMS

We spent most of last week tweaking the code (the gallery function is all set, and with a pretty clever set up if I say so myself 😌) and still made enough renders to push us forward another 10/15%

All in all I would say we are about a quarter done.

Since the poll to choose which one of the new girls should get more attention is still rather undecided we're going to have a second round with only Miss Hill and Miss Kimura (and of course a fe...

"A Town Called Freedom" Preview 2

Here is another 7 pages from our current comic.

It's a lot of intro but we finally got everyone in place for the fun bit to start. As a bonus we're mostly done with the crowd scenes which have really slowed the whole process to a crawl. Having to create, pose and render a bunch of extra characters for each frame is ridiculously time consuming but there is quite less of that from here on (and I am never writing another story where there is more then four characters in a frame at a given ...

A bit of news about TMS v 0.4.5

We are currently working on the long awaited gallery function. Since we like to make life harder for ourselves rather then starting from the main menu the gallery is an in-game option which unlock at the beginning of this update. By collecting pictures through the story and by exploring the world the MC can unlock the gallery for different characters. Writing the code for it is made a bit more complicated by the fact that we want scenes seen in previous play-trough to be available for replay ...

TMS news and poll

A quick poll and some news on our progress on TMS

We made good on our pledge of having a more defined schedule for the next update. For the first time since we started working on the game we have a full detailed script for the update, a pretty clear work schedule and a fairly clear estimate of how many renders we'll need to get there (over 500 it turns out, so by volume only this should be our...

Should we remaster our first installment of TMS?

It shouldn't come as a...

"A Town Called Freedom" Preview 1

Here are the first seven pages of our latest comic “A Town called Freedom”. As always with previews both the images and text will need some editing. (Accents are hard! 😩 But you can't have a western story without a bit of  “Ah reckon this and ya reckon that”🤠)

TMS Version 0.4.4B - Patch and compressed version now online

As anticipated we created both a compressed version of our game (it shave off about 1GB with no loss of quality) and a patch from version 0.4.4 to 0.4.4B for those who already have the game installed. Both are now available on F95Zone.

We plan to do something similar for all new installments going forward to make it easier and faster to get the latest version.

Stay Tuned!

TMS Version 0.4.4B is now available on itch.io

Our patch for version 0.4.4 is now available on itch.io

We're going to hold back the usual fanfare while we work on an official compressed version and possibly a way to install just the patch for anyone who already has the game installed (it's a lot to ask anyone to download the full 4GB just for a few corrections and animations) we should have at least one of the two alternatives up in a few days.

Meanwhile for anyone who either can't wait or has internet bandwidth to spare the p...
