Pineapple Express 2_v0.1

Hey Friends,


As promised, I’m excited to share with you the first part of Pineapple Express 2! I’ve been working hard to release this game on schedule, and I have just one request — this is an early release exclusively for my Patreon supporters, meaning it’s just for you.

Please don’t share the links to this game on other sites, since I’ll be doing a public release in about a week, like I usually do.

Thank you in advance, and I reall...

Catching Up and Moving Forward

Hey Friends,
Please accept my sincere apologies for the radio silence over the past few weeks. I’ve been completely swamped with work. I had to rewrite the script because I wasn’t happy with how it turned out originally.

Now I’d like to share where things stand and what’s coming next. I’m planning to release the first part of PE2 sometime this month — I can’t give an exact date yet, but most likely toward the end of the month.

I’ve completed about half of the vi...

Favor for Favor v.1.0

Hey Friends,
I'm excited to share with you the second part of FfF.

I know it doesn't have a huge fanbase, but I'm really glad I managed to finish it — and even more so, I'm proud of how it turned out. It was an interesting experience, featuring two main routes and one hidden one (the route of loyalty and revenge). I’ll admit, anime isn’t really my style — but I wanted to mix things up a bit and try something different for a change. I hope you enjoy ...

quick update

Dear Friends,

As always, I’d like to share the progress I’ve made and give you a glimpse into what’s coming next. Right now, I’m working on the second part of Favor for Favor.

Even though I can clearly see that it didn’t spark much interest among the audience — something that’s obvious to me based on messages, comments, and the number of subscribers who’ve left — I still don’t want to leave this project unfinished. For me, the most important thing is t...

Favor for Favor v0.5

Dear Friends,

as promised I'm presenting my short experimental anime-style VN called Favor for Favor. This is the first of two parts of this story, with the main theme being NTR (this time - unavoidable 😗). In the first part, the player will make choices, but the consequences will be visible mainly in the second part of the project.

I hope this small story (though it's actually not that short) brings you at least some enjoyment. Have a good evening, and I'll co...

update :)

Hey Friends, I wanted to share a work update with you.

I'm finalizing the first part of the game Favor for Favor, and I will be sharing it with you this week. Yes, it's an experiment, and I can see that many of you are not too thrilled about it, but I really wanted to try something new, something unusual, just to refresh myself and my mind, which constantly craves new challenges. This project will be small, but despite the reaction from many pe...

My short-term and long-term plans :)

Hello Friends. As promised, I want to share with you my short-term and long-term plans. I've been thinking a lot about how to move forward, develop, discover new and unusual things, and improve my work results, which I rarely like. Here's the path I've chosen for myself :)

First, I want to take a break from serious and long-term projects, so I'll soon present to you a visual novel called "Favor for Favor", made in anime style, but not drawn - rendered manually :) This i...

quick update

Friends, I’d like to share the latest updates and the current status of my work with you. As you may have noticed, this time I need a bit more time to release the final part of Exploring the Big Apple. However, I’ve already done a lot and prepared a significant amount of content, though I still don’t have enough for all paths and endings just yet. That’s why I’m continuing to work on it.

That being said, as I promised earlier, I’ll do my best to release the upd...

work in progress ...

Dear Friends,

first of all, I want to apologize for the radio silence over the past couple of weeks. To be completely honest, working late nights lately, I reached a point where, after releasing the last update, I felt completely drained — on the verge of burnout. So, I decided to take a few days off just to clear my head and take a breather (though, as always, I couldn't resist turning on my PC to at least do something).

But now, I’m back on track and working...

Exploring the Big Apple Ep.6

Hey Guys!

I'm excited to share Episode 6 of my game Exploring the Big Apple with you all. This is an early release exclusively for my Patreon supporters!

I gotta admit, I’m pretty drained right now, so there’s a chance I might’ve missed something in the code. (In the previous episode, for example, there was a minor issue during the interview choices and a mix-up with the millionaire’s name. I fixed the typo, but the system bug’s still there because I didnâ€...

Happy New Year!

Dear Friends,

let me wish you all a very Happy New Year! May it bring only the best and most positive vibes into your homes. I truly hope this year will be one of fulfilled hopes and dreams, filled with love, genuine friendships, passion, and great emotions!

I’m still hard at work on the next part of the game (though I took a short break over the Christmas holidays to spend time with family — couldn’t resist sneaking in some late-night PC sessions, though). The new update is...

current progress :)

Hey Friends,

work on Episode 6 is still going strong! The story is getting more intricate, slowly shifting the focus of decision-making toward Emma (of course, the MC won’t just stand on the sidelines either). Scenes and settings are becoming more complex, and the choices are expanding — along with the effort I’m putting in to make every branch of this project filled with engaging content. Like last time, I won’t be setting a strict deadline for myself, as I want to prioritize ...

Exploring the Big Apple Ep.5

Hey Friends!

Today, I’m excited to present to you the fifth episode of "Exploring the Big Apple". I hope you enjoy it!

P.S. I’ve never really asked you for anything before, but this time I’d like to ask for a small favor, especially since I’ve been working nonstop lately. I want to emphasize that today’s release is a preview exclusively for my Patreon supporters. I’d really appreciate it if it could stay as a limited preview for now. This update will definite...

Hey guys,

as usual, I wanted to give you an update on how things are going. Right now, I’ve got a big part of the work done — I’ve finished all the animations and processed a ton of images. This time, I’m really happy with the pace I’m working at. It’s steady, calm, and step by step, with a clear vision of what’s next and where the story is heading.

In the next update, I’ll also introduce some new characters and maybe (not 100% sure yet) a new gameplay mechanic, wh...

Hey Everyone,

as usual, I want to share the current status of my work and plans for the future. Right now, I'm deeply focused on continuing the story, taking into account the feedback and mistakes from the previous update. I’ve really dialed up the plot complexity, and it's required me to write a huge script to cover all the possible paths. It’s a lot of work, but it’s the biggest hurdle, because once the script is done, I can move forward with the visuals much faster.

Exploring the BigApple-Ep.4

Dear friends,

I’m excited to present to you the fourth installment of Exploring the Big Apple.

Right up front, I have to admit, I’m pretty nervous about this release. I made a big mistake early on by creating too many branching paths, each with their own twists and turns (I have a bad habit of trying to please everyone...but it doesn’t always work out well). This massive web has definitely given me a few headaches. Some might say this update feels small, but honestl...

Update Deadline

Hey Everyone!

I wanted to let you know that the new update will actually be coming out next Thursday, October 31st. I was really aiming to release it today and ended up working almost all night to get the images done and most of the script coded. But now that I’m testing, I’m seeing a lot of bugs and issues pop up since the game’s gotten so complex. Unfortunately, there’s just no way I can fix everything today because I’ll be out with my kids in a couple of ho...

quick update

Hey guys,

as usual, I’m here to give you a quick update on the progress for the next release and a rough estimate of when it'll drop. I’ve already finished about half of the planned renders, and most of them are for the hottest scenes. Still pushing forward. Next up is the second part of the visuals, then coding and animations. Coding is honestly the toughest part right now because I’ve tangled up the story so much that even I’m a bit lost.

As for the release date, I’m n...

Work in Progress

Hey guys, just wanted to take a quick moment, as usual, to fill you in on where I’m at with my work.

Right now, I’m finishing up the script, which has been the toughest part so far. After that, I’ll need to code the text and wrap up one of the branches/routes. Once that’s done, I’ll start putting together the scenes and rendering the images. I'm hoping to prepare some sneak peeks soon :) I’m doing my best to keep the pace up, though this work can be pretty draining at times...

quick tip on game routes

Hey, everyone! Just wanted to give you a quick heads-up in case you missed it in the game, and only if you're curious (I’ve gotten a few questions about this before). I’m talking about the cheating path, which is unlocked in this update along with the others. It’s a bit hidden and not as easy to find as the more obvious ones 😅.

SPOILER alert: To unlock it, Emma needs a high corruption/naughtiness level (9 or above, pale red zone),...

Exploring the Big Apple, Ep.3

Hey Everyone!

As promised, here’s the third episode of Exploring the Big Apple for you to check out (early access for patreons).

I’m not exaggerating when I say these last six weeks have been the toughest and most challenging of my work so far. This update’s pretty big, though I wasn’t able to include everything I had planned (one of the preview scenes got pushed to the next update, and there’s minimal animation). The code ended up bei...

Hey guys,

I just wanted to give you an update on how things are going and when you can expect the next release. As usual, I took the hardest route and planned way too much, so now I'm trying to get everything to come together. But I'm still hoping to drop the update next week, probably towards the end of it (give or take a few days, as always). I’ve been working non-stop, but honestly, I’m really enjoying it.

Thanks for your support and for believing in me!

work, work, and more work

Hey everyone, I wanted to give you an update on my current progress. I’m already halfway through releasing the new update! 😉

I’ve created a lot of renders and started coding the script. The main thing I want to emphasize is how much I’m genuinely enjoying creating new content for this game right now. Sure, it’s tough finding free time without affecting my main job and family, and game development itself can be exhausting, BUT at the moment, I’m really enjoying it, and I’m...

Hey Everyone! Just wanted to give you an update on the new chapter of "Exploring the Big Apple" and what’s coming up. So far, I’ve almost finished the script and the animations for the next update.

Just a heads up, like last year, I need to take a two-week break to hang out with my kids and get some rest (away from pc). I’ll be on vacation in the second half of August, so I’m planning to drop the next update in the first week/s of September.

On the plus side, I’m aiming ...

Hey Everyone!

The day has finally come to share the second episode of Exploring the Big Apple with you.

It’s been a tough and exhausting month of work, but I hope you’ll love the result. I also hope I didn’t make any mistakes in the code, since it’s really complicated, even for me, as a developer.

P.S. Friends, let me remind you again - this is an "early access" release for Patreons as a way to thank you fo...

timeline for the new update

Hey Friends,

just wanted to give you a quick update on where things stand with the new Episode. Today, I've already got more content ready than in the first part, and technically I could release the update right now. However, I'm aiming to make it more substantial with an intriguing ending :) So, I'm still working hard every night. My plan is to roll out the update within a week (plus 2-3 days).

I'm not a fan of deadlines, but I get that you're curious about timelines. Let's keep ...

To sequel or not?

DA, let me spam you one more time today. I've decided to create a little Poll to get your thoughts on the possibility of making a sequel to Pineapple Express. This isn't something for today or tomorrow!!, but for the future. Still, I'd love to know if you think the story is finished or if you see potential for a continuation.

Here's what I think – originally, I didn't plan on making a sequel because my biggest joy is creating scenes of slow corruption, gradually chang...

With the improvements in quality, there's more to do, but I'm not discouraged. These new challenges keep me motivated, and I'm working hard every day to ensure the next installment is ready for release in July.

Right now, I've finished all the planned animations and wrapped...
