Hello everybody!
I'm hard at work with Chapter 5 and I hope to release it as soon as possible. This past week I had some health related issues (nothing to do with covid) and it was hard to find time and energy to focus on work, but I'm feeling better now so I should be able to put in the hours. I wanted to release Chapter 5 mid to late August and I guess it will be the latter, but I think you'll find this chapter packed with content!
7 characters will be sporting a new outfit in t...

When I revealed the character sprites for ORS some of you expressed concern with Emma's "weird" pose. To be honest, I wasn't completely happy with it and now was the right moment to re-do it. What do you guys think about it?

I was surprised with the amount of interest that my last post caused, and you had very interesting things to say about the subject of Adult Visual Novels. Many of you had views and opinions that are very similar to mine, but since you're interested I'll share my ideas on how I tackle the creation of my VNs.
I didn't start with a clear game-design philosophy when I decided...

So, the other day I was thinking about my work and how I tackle it. I'm creating an Adult Gaming Experience, a Visual Novel in the p0rn/erotic genre. And I was wondering how my work did fit into that genre.
I'm pretty clear in my philosophy when it comes to creating ORS and my games in general. I can share it with you if you guys are interested, so if that's the case let me know in the comments.
But beforethat, I wanted to know what do you...

A few days ago I did a poll about your age group to have a better understanding of what my player-base is like. I'm interested in deepening my knowledge about that, and I'll repeat a couple polls I did quite some time ago.
In this case, I'd like to know the percentages of male/female that follow my work. I already know the great majority are men, but I'd like to know with some precision to what extent, so please answer honestly!

Lena's showed several different outfits thus far. In Chapter 4 you had the option to see her wearing a more elegant skirt and long-sleeve combination or sporting a more casual, cheerful look.
Which one's your favourite? Chapter 5 will have a new outfit for her and also for several other characters!

In the past I tried to get a general idea of who is my public, what gender you guys are and which country are you from. I realized I never asked about age, and that's also an important factor I'm curious about.
I'd like to know which age group are you in, so please let me know :)

Hi guys! Today's the last day of the congress and I'll be back in the office this Monday. It's being fun and a good excuse to clear my head a bit.
I'm carrying a sketch book and I use it to doodle during the talks. Since I started GGGB I've been neglecting my draftmanship a lot: I invest all my time in creating artwork for the games and using mostly photo references as a base for the drawings, so I've stopped drawing on paper and from memory a lot. These days I've been having fun putting p...

When creating the story for ORS I realized that it was important to populate the world with all kind of characters to make the main character's environment feel rich and believable. I was aware of this fact working in GGGB already, but this time I knew not all characters had to be there just to provide a sexual fetish for the players.
Lena and Ian spend a lot of time in their work places and have families, just like most of us do. Those couldn't be simply presented as backgrounds, they ...

When I was setting the bases of what would become ORS I came up with a scenario that I really liked game-play wise: a double date for Ian with a female friend, Perry and another girl. Ian could go for her friend, a main character (later to be Alison), help Perry get along with the other girl or try to get her himself. I needed to create a secondary female character that would fit the role described in that scene, and so Cherry was born.
Cherry could be any kind of character, and after p...

Hi guys!
As I said in my latest news post, I'll be away during this week (I have a congress to attend) and I won't be able to update the Beta during this week. That's why I'll make the Alpha version available for +$10 patrons so you guys can play it, even if it's not yet in the ideal state, but I don't want to keep you waiting that long!
You can download it in clicking in the following link!

Hello guys!
After delivering Chapter 4 Alpha I've already started working in Chapter 5, creating the artwork. The proofreading is underway, and once that's done I will also fix the reported bugs for the Beta version. Thing is, I'll be away during this week (I have a congress to attend) and I won't be able to update the Beta during this week.

Depending on your choices, Ian will have the chance to go on a date with Lena in this chapter. Last time we saw the interactions from Lena's perspective (both at the the record store and at the park with Holly) so this time it's your turn to step into Ian's shoes and play your cards right... or not.

Hello guys,
normally the Alpha for the next chapter should already be out, but as I said in my previous post this time it will take a bit longer. I'm taking some more time with the writing since there are complex scenes and I have to carefully plan and implement some plot points and narrative mechanics and, besides, thoughtful writing takes time.
The Alpha shouldn't be delayed too long: I hope to be able to finish all the remaining task during next week, so the Alpha shoul...

Hello guys,
I haven't posted any news about chapter 4 recently because progress is a bit slow. Chapter's 3 production dragged on a bit and work on Chapter 4 started with a bit of delay, and also it was a bit more difficult to come up with the outline for the plot points and scenes for this one. Don't worry too much though, it might take a bit longer than normal but work is underway: all the art has been completed and I've been tackling the writing these past few days.
Just so you ...

Hi people! I've been meaning to create an official Android port for my games for a very long time, but never had the time to really look into into. This time the mighty Breadloaf has helped me by creating this Android port of GGGB v1.2!

In GGGB Ashley had some shenanigans at her workplace, mainly with Rosa (aka Landwhale) that served as some kind of petty villain. That character was an afterthought and her role was mainly to antagonize and be bothersome to the player, but it made me want to have a better defined enemy that would play into the story.
Minerva is just that: being Ian's boss at the magazine, she seems to really dislike him and makes things hard for him at every step, while she acts completely d...

Even though Wade is part of Ian's main group of friends, he sits behind as a secondary character. His standing is very particular and interesting, though.
Wade sits in between Jeremy and Perry in Ian's eyes: he's always been lucky with the ladies thanks to his good looks and chill attitude, and he scored a girlfriend to be envious of: Cindy. However, he's become lazy and uninspired... Or maybe he was like that all along? They say what easy comes easy goes, and Wade has never had to work...

After Chapter 3, you can see Lena's relationship with Robert if you have decided to pursue it. As you can see from the description I made here, Robert might not be Lena's ideal partner at the moment, but he's close at hand and he uses any leverage he can find to get what he desires of Lena... Or maybe it's the other way around and is Lena who's using him?
In any case, he's not the most likeable fellow a...

There were no "villains" in GGGB, but I'd say Arthur was pretty close. And he was one of the most popular characters... He was selfish and depraved, but his interest was fairly simple and straightforward: to do selfish and depraves things to Ash and Iris.
For ORS I wanted the characters to move the plot forward in a more significant way. I wanted there to be actual villains. And as I was plotting the story and themes, two characters I had conceptualised merged into one: Seymour Ward. He...

I'm sorry I'm a bit late this month, but I already saw it coming and so I told you. Good news is I'm almost done and the Alpha should be ready to play in just a few days, so don't worry too much!
On the other hand these last months working on ORS (2 months of working on pre-production+GGGB DLCs and then working on 3 straight releases) have been pretty intense! As I keep working myself into this new game (I'm really loving it, I hope it shows!) I'm learnin...

Work on Chapter 3 is progressing. It will be even longer than Chapter 2 and will contain much more character and story development. One of those developments concerns this figure obscured by the dark... What could be going on behind these shadows? Will you try to find out?

Everyone has a past, and so do the characters of ORS! You heard about the "Fucking Chicken Nuggets" in Chapter 2 and Cindy was too curious about them to just let it slide. Digging through an old hard drive of Wade's she found a video from the guy's teenage days. Can you identify them?
