It's TIIIIIIIIIIIIME !!!!!!!!!!!
B.E.S.T The Game posts
Episode 4 Part 1 BETA
Hello dear Patreoners!
We’re excited to announce that the BETA for Patreon tiers 20/50 will open in just a few days! 🎉
Please remember, this is a Beta version, which means it’s not the final polished chapter. The main goal is to hunt for bugs, check save compatibility, ensure that the phone apps work correctly, and verify that the trials play smoothly. Your feedback is essential to help us create an awesome experience and avoid surprises, like the quiz issues in Episode 3! 😅
Important Details:
Beta available in EN/FR only: Translations will come later to avoid unnecessary complications during testing.
Not a finished chapter: This is only Part 1 of the current episode, which is still in development.
After one week, the Beta will also open to Patreon 10 supporters. While we’re aware that this tier is more frequently pirated, we really need more testers, not just players, to provide valuable feedback on the game.
We encourage you to share your thoughts, suggestions, and ideas here or on our Discord. Your input makes a big difference in enhancing the chapter and improving the overall experience!
We’ll let you know as soon as it’s ready.
Thank you for your support!
Xoxo,
Dolyla
DEVLOG 4 : EPISODE 4 !
Hey B.E.S.T.I.E.S.!
It’s been a whole month since our last devlog… That’s way too long! I’ll try to keep you updated more often from now on. 😊
So, what’s been happening over the past month? A lot! We’ve made big strides to bring you the best gaming experience possible. Here’s what’s new:
🛠️ New Features
We’ve been expanding the in-game phone, and as you can see in the screenshot, we’ve added a contacts page!
👉 You can now track your relationship progress with each character through a heart scale.
👉 Plus, you’ll get additional details about the characters, helping you learn more about them while keeping track of your save. Handy, right?
📖 Story Progress
Several scenes are now complete, including renders and animations.
You’ll soon get to meet Madison’s family:
Her daughter might just melt your heart.
As for her mother… well, we can’t wait to hear what you think. 😏
The girls are gearing up for the next B.E.S.T challenge, and trust me, it’s packed with surprises!
For those of you who love Rufus, he’s back too! Keep your eyes peeled for hidden Rufus moments throughout this episode. 🐾
🎯 What’s Next?
We’re now halfway through this episode.
The first part will soon be available for testing on our support platforms.
This will help us squash bugs and fine-tune a few details before releasing the full episode.
If everything goes as planned, the full release should be ready around February!
🌊 A Little Tease…
I’ll leave you with this: Grace is heading back into the water soon. What do you think that means? I can’t wait to see it unfold—how about you?
Thank you all for your incredible support and patience. You’re the BEST!
See you soon for more updates… The girls are waiting, so it’s time to jump back in.
DEVLOG 3 : EPISODE 4 !
Hello B.E.S.T.I.E.S!
It’s been a while since we last updated you on our progress with the episode development, so here’s the latest!
We’re making great progress!
We’re getting close to the next big challenge, which will test everything we’ve learned in terms of gameplay and coding so far. Our goal is to make this something unique and fun for you.
The good news is that, for the first time in the game, you’ll have the chance to finish as the B.E.S.T. – rank #1, the best, the chosen one!
The catch? You’re going to have to earn it :)
And of course, with a new episode comes new features!
First, we’re excited to introduce our very first motion capture effects! You’ll get to see the results for yourself when you start the episode… I have a feeling you already know which girl will be talking to you… :)
Next, we’ve added a few cool things!
First, we’ve enhanced the messaging system with notifications, so you’ll know when you have messages waiting or when you can send them.
This icon will let you know if there are any messages waiting for you!
You’ll also see notifications in the phone apps to indicate where there are new activities or content available!
Finally… as you saw in the previous screenshot… we’ve created a special app for those who chose to talk to Kira during the party!
Introducing… our OnlyStan!
With this app, you’ll be able to see posts from the girls, read comments from their followers, and even leave your own comments… And if you know us, you know that leaving a comment on one of these posts might just unlock certain scenes… ;)
That’s all I’ll say for now…
Enjoy, and stay tuned for more updates soon!
XoXo

2024-09-05 17:02:24 +0000 UTC View PostFast-Play option ?
Hi players ! We think to add a new option in the game and wants to know what you think of it ! This option will be the "fast-play", if you don't want to participate to a trial ( like the quizz ) the option will pass you the event with the minimal result that let you continue the story. For exemple you're 25/50 before the quizz, you stay 25/40 with fast play and you continue the story with no game over
if you were 45/50 you're now 40/40
etc...
This could please players that don't like minigames
and gives an advantage to those who plays them
What do you think ?

Back to work !
Hello B.E.S.T.I.E.S!
I hope your vacation went well and you enjoyed it!
For us there were a few small "inconveniences" when episode 3 was released but everything seems to be back to normal!
For information, the phone "bug" has been fixed, the buttons now work as expected!
The Russian and Chinese translations arrived, late, but are there!
We received quite a bit of feedback on the quiz.
Some found it cool and tried hard to find all the solutions, others on the contrary found it very boring.
The goal was not to put you in difficulty on logic or general knowledge, but just to have a test based on this type of skills or knowledge because, logically, our hero takes a test to be the best student.
Don't worry, we don't plan to do any quizzes soon!
Then in terms of free-roam and story, players generally appreciated the choices offered.
As for the update time (namely that our roadmap, as it was initially established, is currently being followed), we are therefore counting on the end of the year for episode 4. We know that the wait can be a little long but overall we are not bad compared to other games of this genre. Of course some have much more content or increased quality which extends development times.
I'm telling you about this because overall the rating of the game dropped in this episode for these reasons:
- Quiz too difficult
- Development time too long
- Late translation for Russian/Chinese
- Not enough sexual content / or sexual content too difficult to find
- Game not fun enough
- ...
We take all your feedback into account and really hope to improve as we go. Once again, don't forget that the game is in early access too so we can improve it as we progress!
We also know that players are more likely to say when they don't like something than when they like something. This is also why we dose and continue more or less in the same vein!
Finally, know that the scenes of episode 4 are already organized, arranged, the choices are already prepared and the intro is already made.
Come on, let's go back because we still have work to do!
Have a good day and see you soon for the first screens of episode 4!

Let's move on.... Soon the end!
Hello B.E.S.T.I.E.S!
I hope you are enjoying your summer, that the weather is nice at home and that the holidays are going well!
At our house, we're working hard to finish this episode for you!
The mini free-roam finished, the associated scenes too, we naturally move on to the second part of the evening which depends, as always, on your previous choices!
The 10 p.m. scene will be common to all paths then 11 p.m. will be the last possible branch of the evening which will determine the end of midnight. The animations for certain scenes are already done and the important ending scenes are already written. All we have to do is make the missing renderings and animations.
For your information, here are some figures:
At release, there were 1250 images and 50 animations for episode 1 and 2.
We are now at 2000 images and 93 animations (with episode2 extended + episode 3) and it's not over :) For an average of 10-15 renders / day....
The quality has also increased further.
In terms of deadlines we are a little late, the roadmap that we initially set stipulated a release of episode 3 for this month, but with the addition of new features such as telephone and free- roam, translations... It will be more for next month. Time to finish the episode, send it to the translators and test to be sure to provide you with a complete episode with as few bugs as possible!
Thanks again to everyone for your support!
See you soon !

DEVLOG 9 : 21h00 !
The evening is progressing!
Hello B.E.S.T.I.E.S!
Today we finally move on, the 8:00 p.m. “free-roam” part having finished.
It took us a while to figure out how to make something cool.
With the telephone and free-roam, this gives us two new things we learned that will save us time on the next episodes!
So we now move on to the 9:00 p.m. scenes and as the evening continues, we should be able to move faster now.
New characters, actions, scenes available according to your previous choices... We really hope that you will enjoy what we have prepared for you!
I'll leave you and come back to you when we get to the 10:00 p.m. section!
See you soon !

Devlog 8 : 20H00 !
Hello B.E.S.T.I.E.S!
Lots of little news today!
As you know, Episode 3 is divided by hours and the free-roam represents the evening at Grace's, also divided by hours.
We are at 8:00 p.m., the end of the evening passing at midnight.
Last week was largely used to learn how to code some things including, and I think this will please some players: the arrival of the phone!
So we had to integrate it into Episode 4 at your request... But we found the opportunity to use it before so we spent time on it trying to understand how it works and in the end... Well we are quite satisfied with the result!
This of course needs to be improved over time, but here are the functions that we have managed to integrate:
- The list of dynamic contacts according to your history and the paths you follow.
- You can, at certain times, send messages to girls yourself, again depending on the story and the choices you have made previously.
- Integration of B.E.S.T stats into the phone.
- History of messages received
- A Wallpaper function to change the phone's wallpaper: When you receive photos of girls by message, they are saved in the phone and you can reuse them as wallpaper.
Other functions will come over time. If you have ideas for useful things to add, don't hesitate to leave us comments!
The other part of the time was used for free-roam and in particular the navigation system inside. We have therefore created free-roam in such a way that you do not have to look for where you need to go but to choose. Here is the “main hub” for this evening and how the free-roam will be organized:
As you see the middle image represents the hub where you can click on girls to talk with them or participate in activities, at the top and bottom the movement bars which tell you which room to go to. Finally obviously events depending on your choices and current routes will take place during this event, characters will be available... or not for you depending on your saves...
Finally, now that all that is done, even if it took us a little longer than expected, it saved us time for episode 4!
All that remains is to chain together the images and animations for the evening and move forward in this free-roam until the end of the episode!
See you soon !
Dolyla
