Recent developments are:
- Set the goal posts for the next version. You can find them in the screenshots for now, in the future I can make the trello board public after I clean it up a bit. Some of those checklists, for example the widgets goal post, are meant to help me release content faster because I won't have to spend so much time checking whether the outfits and expressions are correctly displayed in accordance to the scene.
- Updated SugarCube to the latest version. It...

I am working on the goal posts for the next version and I need your input for some of the goal posts I am planning to add.
Do you feel that, for a more immersive experience, you would require more expressions that would be used for less NSFW events? Such as Curious and Surprised. Right now we have 5 expressions in total, but most of them are fit only for NSFW scenes.
I would still describe the emotions in text, but maybe seeing your character expr...

This is a new release and since it can be confusing to move around at first, in addition to the fact that there aren't any playable quests except for this one in this release, it will probably be helpful to know how to start this quest. This assumes a fresh playthrough.
- Launch the game and in the lower left side of the screen (1st image), click Settings.
- In the Settings page (2nd image), toggle Do you wish to be able to select...

Not really sure if it was coronavirus or not, but it wasn't a fun week and even though I really wanted to keep working, the headache was too much to overcome. After a few days of gradual recovery in my symptoms, I'm only left with a temperature in the higher range of normal that doesn't really bother me. Since today I've felt better, I took the opportunity to finish what I started a week ago.
- Finished drawing the scene that has a WiP post on Saturday. (it will be seen in the...

I haven't felt great since the latest development update, with other annoying simptoms like headaches on top of the fever, so sadly I am not sure if I can get the release ready for tomorrow due to the remaining adjustments I mentioned in the last post. I am taking a day, or two, or three to rest, because it's not really feasible to work in my current state, in the hope that given rest, my immune system will take care of whatever it is sooner and I'll be able to get back to my daily working ro...

And today's progress:
- Thought of an intuitive way to have 2 pieces of clothing display at the same time so that outfits that make sense to be two-pieced will have the possibility of being. (first screenshot contains the code for it). This is planned to be incorporated in the wardrobe too, meaning that if you pick an outfit (like Casual), you will get 2 options that allow you to pick a piece of clothing for the waist-up and another one for waist-down. We don'...

Today's progress:
- I am happy to say that I have finally finished writing Ted's quest. As you can see in the first screenshot, it has around 11k words of content that also contains some steamy scenes I think you will enjoy. There are some branches you can pursue within certain parts of the quest, whose role is to change your player's attributes depending on the outcome of these branches. I have put in a lot of effort into this in the last few days, with the goal of combining what I...

Today I worked on:
- Ted's Quest. I expected to finish it today, but I spent more time writing a scene to make it more pleasing to read and I built up the introduction to the latest environment of this quest. Even though the quest would be done only once in every single run, there are still paths you can take that affect the way your character's characteristics develop, and the events that immediately unfold after the choice. As seen in the second screenshot, so far as the quest lac...

Recent developments are:
- For more immersion during sleep/rest sequences, I developed a new outfit which is supposed to serve as a pajama/nightwear.
- The more I write Ted's quest, the bigger it gets. I get new ideas that should make the quest more eventful than the event preview itself.
- With a lot of help, the game now has a developing mechanic that relies on player actions. During scenes that make contextual sense (for example trying to resist...

I apologize for the lack of updates since I left, but I've been feeling exhausted bad since I came back and I thought it was because of the sudden sleep schedule change.. which is still likely to be the cause.
Yesterday I felt a bit better, but still bad so I decided to take my temperature.. it neared towards 36.8C/98.2F which was a bit higher from my average of 36.2C/97.15F.
Today I woke up fine, ready to work and I've been working since I've woken up on writing content for...

The both underwear and bra option is more difficult because there will be the need for a different bra for every chest size, so it will take more time. But if you prefer this option, it is fine to vote for it, just that you should know that it can take some time until it is ready.
For the Underwear, bra, pantyhose, stockings, it will take a bit more time than the option from above, but it is doable.

Although today I worked as much as yesterday, this development update will be a bit shorter, because much of the day was spent on writing and on making sure I do not fall into a writer's block. Here it is:
- Finished the portrait for Sarah, the shy nurse and you can see it in the image above. It will be higher resolution within the game. If we're lucky, I'll have some content for her for the first release around 22nd July.
- Finished the background for the dream sequence, but...

Today's updates are:

You can change the currently equipped item on the fly, even though the ability to change the currently equipped item on the fly will probably be adjusted during fights, because each item is made for a different purpose (right now).
- Added the desired temperature measurement metric to the settings. I realized I can't get away with...

More developments are being continuously made. Today I've been and still am working on:

A smartwatch from the future, its functions allow you to analyze various substances, ranging from some irritating water droplets during an abrupt rainfall, to suspiciously colored plants in a cave system while keeping track of your health/energy levels (lore explanation for being able to see those) . The quest I am working on right now will offer you the opportunit...

Since I will need to finish an initial version of this system after the v0.1.0 update, I need your input on what you would like to see in the first attempt at this system.
Of course, my ideal fight system would be one that has sci-fi guns and sci-fi meele weapons, shields, ways through which you can tantalize your enemies so that they will give up and surrender to your whims, with the addition of a party system, but for starters I need to start with something simpler to serve as t...

Today's developments are so far:

If you enable the first option, you will see a menu in the introduction passage where you can pick off from parts of the story from the linear part of the game. If you enable the second option, you will see a text followed by a link. If both options are enabled, you can see the optio...

It contains a link to the latest public version of the game and latest progress updates.
It will most likely undergo slight design adjustments soon, but I think it is readable right now.
Basically, I have divided the game in 3 parts, one for Art, another for the Writing and the last one for the Code.

This update contains some UI additions:

- As you may have noticed in the GIF of the new sidebar, the Health, Energy, and Lust bars were not colorized correctly. This was due to a bug that caused the scripts that update...

With the help of a friend to notice the solution, and with the help of a very helpful person on the Twine discord to apply the solution, we do not need 2 sidebars anymore.
As you can see in the gif, you will be able to toggle between menus. If you will want to view your character, you can just press the Looks button, if you will want to switch your active weapon, there is the Items button and if you will want to view your stats, there is the Sta...

Today's work was more centered around figuring the best approach to filling the game with content. There are so far a ton of locations that will need more specific content and that is why I am taking it one step at a time. If we go by the lore, the first map you should be able to explore is the village map, so that's the first I am making content for.
If we take it step-by-step, logically one of the content-filled locations should be the protagonist's room. This is what I coded in for y...

Hey! In case you have played the preview, I would like to know if that is what you would like all future events to be like. I would also like to include more sexual scenes options that give you deeper control onto the actions of your character, but it felt like too much to include them in the preview already.
The event has around 5000 words and while I am writing quests and content to fill in the earlier-built systems, I need feedback on the preview to make sure that I am on the right t...

This will be a short text, but all I have to say is that my personal life responsibilities have been taken care of, more specifically the graduation of an university.
I will take one day or two to rest, it has been a very stressful couple of days and I need to refresh myself mentally-wise, because most of what is left is writing content and my creativity depends on my mood, the higher&more relaxed the mood, the better output in terms of both usual content and sexual content.
