0.3.1 - alpha - Chad only

Hey guys,

Get the release of 0.3.1 with Lucy's first progression! 

Unfortunately I wasn't able to complete Chuck's progression in time, but hope to have it finished early next week!

Update - What's going on?

Hey guys,

Wanted to give some detail about what's going on, what the future holds here etc as I've been giving it a lot of thought recently.

The next update will be released next Friday (1st Dec) featuring Lucy , possibly sooner if I finish it up quicker than expected. 

It's been clear things haven't been going to plan and I haven't been able to commit as much time as we all would have liked and have found myself dedicating time to other hobbies, passions, projects and ...

Game Progression - Update

Hi all!

Been a little while so wanted to give an idea of where we're at in terms of development and what the future plans are!

Steady progress has been made so far with Lucy's progression and I'm hoping that I can get the 0.3 release out by the end of the next month at the latest, but hopefully sooner, Looking forward to dropping the update for you all that have been patiently waiting!

0.2 Alpha now released!

Hey guys,

You can now download the 0.2 alpha which features the lovely neighbour, Claire! 

There were some mechanical changes in the game too, the most prominent being that I can now set a min/max width & height on the "peeping" overlays for the Chuck route. This shou...

Lucy Teasers - small update on progress

Just wanted to give a quick update with things. Claire's progress is going decent, big chunk of her Chad progression is done. Got some solid ideas for Chuck's (or Claire's husband's) progression.

Also wanted to show you guys some of the artwork has done for the future Lucy build. Also Crot is working on the main bulk of Lucy's stuff as we speak (See last image)

Welcome new comers!

Hey all,

Just wanted to give a big welcome to all the new comers who have recently discovered the project after the first build.

Just wanted to give some information that you may have missed so far!

First things first, this project is mostly a side project for me. It's a bit of a fun side project that I work on mostly during my free time, so there are absolutely no guarantees about build dates, content or anything of the like. So please keep that in mind, be respectful, don'...

Who next?

Hey guys,

Thanks for all the feedback and support so far! So far the order of content is going to look like this:

• Claire (Neighbour)
• Lucy (Younger roommate)
• ???

So who would you like to see take the spot after?

Once all the main characters have had their first bunch of progressions done, the characters will return once again (in this case Helen will be added back in.)

0.1 - Now live!

Hey guys,

You can download the build here. 

Please keep in mind of what I've said in previous posts about the whole "VN mode" and adding in the detail later on!

Hope you enjoy, it's all pretty straight forward so shouldn't need require any assistance!

Now on to...

Update & New teases

Hey guys,

Just wanted to give a quick update on things as well as show off some new work. 

The first build WILL be live on 10th February come hell or high water. 

Now that Christmas and this month (where both of my projects were receiving updates) are out of the way, I will be taking a little time to dedicate finalising the first build of this project.

If I manage to get the build finalised sooner than the 10th chances are I will release it e...

Chuck fans - Poll below

Hey guys, just getting a gauge of something. For those of you are Chuck fans / interested in the Chuck route:

Would you prefer that the focus stayed on Chuck for the entirety of each character's story, or would you prefer the focus to shift to other characters depending which character path you are progressing.

For example:

For Helen & Tasha the focus will be on Chuck and just him for his route. Where as for Claire, we could switch focus to her husband, for Sammy switch ...

Which character next?

So far we have Helen & Claire ready to go in terms of art, but who would you like to see after that? 

(I know it's a common thing for devs to put the landlady last, but I know who you want to see ;) )

Release 1 - Helen

Release 2 - Claire

Release  3 - ??? Decide below!

Update - VN decision and status

Hey all,

Just wanted to give a quick update about plan of action, especially concerning my last post.

I have decided to adopt the VN approach (mentioned here) as a way to drip feed content to you guys. So far I've mostly completed Helen's "Part 1" of dialogue for Chad, and will be working on Chuck's side of things soon. Once that is done, I will get it imported into the game, and event it ...

Shower moment - potential plan

Hey guys,

I had a bit of a 'shower moment' where I've potentially come up with a plan that could be a good idea to make everyone happy (myself included). 

So I have in my mind all the features and systems I want the game to include, and that isn't going to change. The PoC that was released a while ago did a good job highlighting some of these, but I want many more to be featured (costume changes, social media site where the player can upload their 'exploits' (or see some thes...

More teaser images

Some just little spoiler teases to enjoy! 

An update on things

Hey all,

It's been a while since I've given an update and I want to give my apologies about that. Time has been flying pretty fast lately. And I know there are a lot of people who are keen to see / hear about progress and I wanted to wait until there was something worth announcing, but unfortunately that hasn't come, which has led to this.

So before I get to where things are and what's going on, as well as what I'm thinking about doing in terms of this project, I want to reiterate...

0.1 - Update

Hey guys,

Just wanted to give another update to where we're at now.

I've mostly finished the dialogues for Claire's first progression which took a little longer than expected. Unfortunately due to it also being my birthday this week I wasn't able to invest as much free time as I would have liked.

I still need to import the dialogue into the game and set up the events / progression line. I want to also add in some "default dialogue" for each character so the world doesn't fee...

0.1 - Release Update

Hey guys,

Just wanted to share where we are at with this. 

I had very little free time last week due to bank holidays in the UK. My birthday is also this week so may have little free time until the weekend. There's a little bit of artwork outstanding, but hopefully by the end of the weekend we should have something to release for you!

I'll keep you updated either way.

Managing Expectations - 0.1

Hey guys,

I just want to give a little bit of an update to 0.1 Unfortunately I have been struck by a pretty bad cold this past week, which has made writing sexy dialogue extremely difficult for this project and I've mainly been using my spare time to rest up more than work extra on this.

I'm still waiting for this cough to clear which is keeping me up most nights, but I'm letting people know the earliest release date won't be until the 31st of this month, but it may get pushed bac...

Developmental Approach

Hello great supporters!

So, soon I will be commissioning the next batch of art that will be present in the 0.2 build. The current approach I have taken is to focus on one character for a lot of content and have 1 or 2 more have minor bits of content. If we're to put this in a sort of measurable / numerical sense:

 - Claire will be relationship level 3 by the end of the 0.1 (rel level 3 = fuck scene)

- Helen & Sammy will be relationship level 1 by the end of 0.1 (rel...

Thank you so much!

Hey guys,

I just wanted to give a big thank you for all the love support you've shown this project so far. I didn't really want to announce the project properly before the first 0.1 build because I didn't think people would be that interested, but it turns out I was very wrong!

I'll be doing my best to make sure this project is something people really enjoy, just like my other projects. That said, I just want to reiterate things I have mentioned before that this project is a side ...

Claire - Teasers

Hey guys,

Just wanted to give everyone a warm welcome who has joined recently! 

Since it's not likely the 0.1 build would be ready this month, but next month instead, I wanted to give some little teasers about what's to come. 0.1 will feature Claire, the neighbour! 

Hope you guys are excited for it!

Some preview / teaser images!

Just wanted to show you guys some of the artwork that is being worked on at the moment!

Just some of the early Sammy progression and a little hide and seek with Claire, the neighbour!

Enjoy!

Welcome to Nicest - Proof of Concept Launch

Hey everyone, I'm happy to announce the launch of the newest project; Welcome to Nicest!

You can now get a hold of the proof of concept. 

This isn't the official first official 0.1 build, but just a teaser / proof of concept to show you how the game will mostly operate. 

This game is a for fun project with myself and Crot and we will be updating when we...
