0.5.5 - Update, Announcement, and the Future!

Hi hi! I’m back with a little 0.5.5 update, some super exciting news, and some notes on what I see as the future of Girl Games, so buckle in!

First up, let’s get the current 0.5.5 update stuff out of the way. I’ve (hopefully!) finally fixed the bug that was causing the game to crash for some people when the phone calls trigger. It seems like this was mostly affecting the online build from what I could tell - but maybe it happened sometimes too for the download version. An...

Welcome!

This is just a quick post to say a huge welcome aboard to everyone who's joined recently! Thank you all so much for your support and my new year's resolution is to keep everyone in the loop this year with regular updates and devlogs as we make our way toward 0.5.7 - which will mark the main/core Girl Games story as complete! 

I'm currently taking a look at a bug which as far as I can gather only affects the Online/browser version - it's that damn Parent's phone call stuff ...

Girl Games 0.5.4 - Public Build! - Links and Changelog

Whew, so this one took longer than expected but here it is, finally!

Note: for those who've been trying out the test builds, there is now a basic implementation of the nightclub stuff, although a LOT more to come in the next build! For everyone who hasn't been following along, see the Changelog at the bottom of this post for details!

Windows Version (64 bit) - Dow...

Bug Report Poll - Are *YOU* experiencing issues with the in-game phonecalls?

I've had some recent feedback - both here and also there's a couple of comments to this effect on Itch.io too, that the phonecall stuff isn't working for everyone ...

So far I've tested the Mac download version back and it's running fine, and there's also no issues when I'm playing the game through from within the game engine, and I just managed to test the online version on Firefox browser too and seemingly all good there (?) ...

0.5.4 incoming!

Hi all, this is just a super short post to say that I'm almost done with 0.5.4, to apologize for how Dan long this is taking me, and letting you know that I'll definitely have a build to share with you all before the month is out!

Hoping to get it uploaded tomorrow, all being well ...

0.5.4 Devlog - Quick Update

This is a super quick update, just to let you know that I AM still working and, thanks to the poll in my last post, i've been taking the "try to do EVERYTHING approach" ... 

I've got a rudientary stats panel up and running (rudimentary because I still need to flnalize what the stats are called, which ones are the most imporant to show, etc): 

I've also made some headway on the ...

0.5.4 Devlog - Party Games ...

Okay, first up, I'm gonna hold my hands up and say sorry again for the lack of updates. Just because I know what I've been doing on the game since the last post doesn't mean anybody else does (!), and I guess a part of me has been holding on in the hope that this post would be the next test build, but that's still a teensy way off I'm afraid. 

I've been doing as much work as I can on the game and I'm nearly done with the Jennifer party scene (and the 'homework' assignment ...

0.5.4 Devlog - end of month update

So we've hit the end of the month and what do I have to show for myself?! Well, if you're on a $3 tier or more, you can see for yourself in the form of the Heather Branch test build, although spoiler alert: it's not exactly finished or polished just yet. That said, there's some dressup fun to be had and I'm going to be going super hard on adding in even more girly fun in the coming weeks. 

But just to give you a sneak peek of how things are shaping up, here's a couple of screenshot...

0.5.4 Devlog - Act two low point ...

You know that part of the movie where the characters hit a real low point, where things aren't going quite the way they hoped and they need to regroup and summon all their strength before the final battle? Well, honestly, in a way that feels like me right now ...

Don't worry, this isn't some hand-wringing post about how I'm gonna put things on pause for six months or give up on this game entirely, but jeez. Game dev is hard, especially when you're cramming it into the ...

0.5.4 Devlog - Things are getting ... girlier

It's been a little while since my last post, so I figured it was time to give you an update on what I've been doing - and what still needs to be done - on version 0.5.4. And this time around, we're finally going to be able to have some fun in girl mode.

As you can imagine, this is a whole new layer that will be added to the game (although right now I'm just putting in the very basic building blocks, such as being treated differently in certain stores - maybe even being offered ...

Version 0.5.3 debrief, hotfix and what's coming next ...

First up, I'd just like to say a warm welcome to all the new patrons that have arrived since the release of Version 0.5.3. So glad to have you here - and I'll be sharing updates on 0.5.4 just as soon as I have something worth writing about! 

After some feedback on the TFGames and F95Zone threads about bugs, I've updated the game to a 'hotfix' version:

Windows Version - Download

Version 0.5.3 - Links and Changelog

As always, that took slightly longer than I thought! I ran into some weird last minute bugs - such as the harness in Jennifer's third scene not showing up on the exported version of the game and spent about two hours tearing my hair out until I realized it was an issue of case (i.e. the file being named "Harness" vs "harness", which really matters for the export, it seems! Lesson learnt, haha).

Anyway, here's the links and changelog:

0.5.3 update + Tier changes going forward ...

I'm not gonna bore you with the week I've had but, whew boy. Let's just say I'm glad it's over! And more importantly, I've been polishing up 0.5.3 and it's almost ready. I'm actually hoping to release it later tonight, all being well, although that depends on how much I can get done in the next few hours, so long as my brain doesn't explode ...

One thing I wanted to touch on, not with that update exactly but about the tier benefits going forward, is basically from this upcomi...

Version 0.5.3 - Test Build!

Okay, here it is ... finally! I had to push myself to get this finished as I had a super busy week at work and I'm away all this weekend, so I knew that this was my last chance to share something with you guys before the month is out. It's still so scrappy and unpolished and ragged at the edges, and when I think about how much more I still have to do - not just on this update but on the whole damn game - I'm not gonna lie, it feels a little overwhelming. 

I'm trying my har...

0.5.3 update ...

Another little update to get you up to speed, but before that I wanna say another WELCOME to the new patrons that have joined over the last few days! It's so exciting to see things picking up speed a little, and hopefully that'll continue once I get 0.5.3 out!

But first, of course, the test build - which no doubt will be a little scrappy and ragged around the edges but should contain pretty much everything I want the new update to have, which will be:

• Heather's 3rd scene (...

Just a little update ...

Just thought I'd drop in and get you up to speed on where I am with 0.5.3. Please note that, as always, this is all work I've crammed in around my day job! 

So Heather's 3rd scene is done, Jennifer's 3rd scene is almost done (so excited to get this one out), I've added a couple more items to the stores, written 1 (of 3) stat/text sheets for the random gloryhole strangers, and I'm currently working on adding in a new more elegant quest/conversation check function - meaning ...

Things are heating up ...

I just thought I'd share a few screenshots from the latest scenes I've been working on, all coming soon in 0.5.3!



Heather's Chapter Three event is the "dancing practice" one. If you played the previous version, then it's (almost) the same, although I'm giving it a subtle rewrite and a little polish here and there. And for now I just love that movie so much I couldn't let it go, so for now at...

AM(A)A!

Maybe this post will fall totally flat, and if so, that's cool. I've had enough cringe-enducing moments in my life to take another one in my stride! But ... 

I figured it'd be fun to do a kind of rolling AMA (ask me anything) style q&a here. The extra A (in brackets) stands for 'almost', meaning if you ask something so insanely personal that I don't feel like answering, I reserve the right not to. But, I'm a (pretty) open book, and maybe there's some nagging thing you'd like to...

Stats and Save Files

There's one aspect of Girl Games that I'm still to fully implement and I know I need to be careful with it, as - a little like the Sex Display stuff - it has the propensity to get out of hand. 

You see, right now, as you play the game, your save file is logging a bunch of variables. I won't list them all but here's a bunch to give you an idea: 

"current_location" : "bedroom",

"current_quest" : "",

The cabin is almost ready ...

So yesterday and today I put in a ton of time and polish into the video cabin that you can enter at the back of the adult book store. I know a lot of the little things I've done might not even be noticed but I'm super proud of them anyway. 

There's a little timer that counts down your $5/5 minute session, a screen that plays porn, and of course a working gloryhole that now pulls from a random selection of cocks that'll poke through the hole and into your cabin! Well, that'...

Work so far ...

Now the dust has settled on 0.5.2, I'm straight back at it, chipping away at the next update, which I'm hoping to have out before the end of this month. As I mentioned in the last post, now that I have a lot of the city functionality up and running, this should be a little quicker, although there's still some new stuff to implement. 

I really want the adult bookstore video cabins to be working for 0.5.3, and I got a lot of the basic functionality done this mornin...

0.5.2 debrief and hotfix

First up, I wanna say welcome aboard to all the new patrons! Thanks so much for showing your support for Girl Games. I really do appreciate it. 

I took a couple days away from the internet directly after uploading; if I'm honest, I've found the negative comments that usually accompany a new update kind of intense, and I wanted to give myself a little breathing room. 

But when I came back to look, the first thing I discovered was that in my last minute tinkering and polis...

Version 0.5.2 - Links, Changelog and Password!

Okay, it's finally here. I'm sorry this took an extra couple of days to release - I ran into a few snags and last minute things to add in (like the extra conversation loop that happens with Amy after she finds you're wearing a chastity device), along with some issues in uploading the Play Online version - I needed to go back and optimize some files to shrink the size so Itch would accept it ... 

But anyway, it's here. Links (and password) below. You see, for all patreon ti...

Tomorrow ...

Just a super quick update (I'm totally frazzled), to say that it'll be one more day until 0.5.2 is out. There's still some last minute fixes and changes I need to make - plus the exporting and uploading is its own whole thing - and I don't wanna rush it and make some mistake because my eyes hurt and my brain is flatlining! 

I'll obviously post here with the new download and online links as soon as I have them!

The calm before the storm ...

Just a quick update to let you all know where I'm at. I've been working through the checklist of things to do, adding and tinkering and polishing and playtesting, and it's looking like I should have the final version of 0.5.2 out tomorrow, all being well.

I've added in a short (optional) 'tutorial' to the opening Reception scene, I've fixed some bugs, I've added in some basic tucking and chastity functionality and relevant descriptions (although there's gonna be a LOT more to do on that...

0.5.2 Test Build!

Well, here it is, in all its scrappy, unfinished glory - the test build of Girl Games 0.5.2. If you've been following along with my posts recently, then you'll probably have a good idea as to what this has (and doesn't yet). But to recap: 

• Heather and Jennifer's stories now run up to their second scenes. 
• You can hook up with Amy
• You can hook up with a mysterious older woman at the bar
• Most stores now have some items in them (...

Update: Test build incoming!

So I went super hard yesterday - thanks so much for the votes on the poll btw! - and I've decided to push ahead and get 0.5.2 out with as much of the stuff as I can done, yet still hitting the end-of-month deadline. 

Here's where I'm at right now:

- Heather 2nd quest (done, apart from polishing and tweaking)

- Jennifer 2nd quest (done, apart from polishing and tweaking)

- Amy 1st hookup scene and sex game (done, apart from polishing and tweaking)

- ...

Update: Inching Closer

Thanks so much to everyone who voted in the poll. Based on the results I will most likely change the updates to public - maybe from the start of the work I did on 0.5.2 going forward - but that's a whole other job to do, and right now I'm focussed on getting this update finished.

Speaking of which, I'm not sure if you've taken a peek at the About page recently, but I've been adding in a little progre...

One more thing ...

I'm setting this poll to all tiers because it kinda affects all of you! That sounds more ominous than I intended, don't worry. But if you have a moment, please do feel free to chip in on the following thought/suggestion ...

So as you can probably tell, I've been enjoying writing what you might call 'devlog' posts - either taking a look at an aspect of what I'm working on in more depth or simply giving you all another update on where I'm at. 

As you can also probably ...

Edge cases ...

Tell me to shut up if these (almost) daily status updates are getting annoying, but it's been kinda fun to document my process and helps me keep focussed. Plus I feel it's good to keep you all in the loop. But honestly, if I should cool it down a bit, just let me know! 

So today I wanted to talk about 'edge cases' - which could be defined as "a situation or input value that is not typical or common and may require special handling in a program algorithm". In Girl Games, th...
