Version 4 (0.4.0)

Vesion 0.4.0 is a part day release covering the morning events of playable day Monday.

This is an update download only. A previous version is required.

Version 0.4.0 Release notes

Approximately 110 renders across 4 scenes covering morning events for playable day Monday.

I recommend against creating saves within the part-day scenes as things could change for bug fixes or other issues in the next part-day update.

Daz to Unity test

This a proof of concept exporting a Daz character to unity for animation and realtime playback + VR test.  

This is not an indication of future gameplay, just a test to see what works and the render quality.

Changes to release cycle

Version 4 will introduce changes to how the game is released and available for public download.

In an attempt to decrease the time between versions, I intend to switch to part-day releases. This was offered for version 3, but the consensus was to stick with full-day releases. However, I acknowledge the frustration with the amount of time between releases and will therefore switch anyway. 

0.x.0 will encompass the morning events.
0.x.1 afternoon events.

Cross promotions and Status update

Those who played the Movie Theater scene might have noticed the posters.


These are posters for other adult games. I think it provides a more varied atmosphere, as other developers use different styles, and means I don't need to spend time creating fake movie posters.

It can also help spread the word about other games and in turn, get some visibility in return.

Male characters

Besides the player character, Max, there are several other male characters in the game. 

The game tracks affinity and persona statistics for the male characters in the same way as the female characters. Although this is referred to as friendship stats. The heart icon in the relationship app will change to a contact-like icon when viewing stats for the male characters.

Male characters exist for story purposes, and there is no male-on-male action. You can choose to minimize you...

The player can first meet Cynthia if you choose to visit Ralph after going to the college on Friday afternoon. If you chose the Gym instead, you’ll meet Cynthia on Saturday evening when returning home where she’s having coffee with your mom.

This character profile will assume you met Cynthia on Friday.

What's coming up.

Below is a more detailed explanation (including spoilers) of the scenes coming up in the next update.


First, you visit Mrs. Thomas (Maria) to return the credit card found the previous night. She's in the middle of making breakfast for the girls and invites you in before you can say anything. Karla then joins you, followed by Caprice. All three women are partially dressed. Karla is annoyed by your presence, whereas Caprice is happy to see you. Some choices will depend on decis...

An interview with Kimberley

In Mothers and Daughters, players take control of Max as he navigates relationships and choices that lead to different paths and interactions. But what if the game was a TV show? To keep things fun—and in the spirit of the game's cheeky fourth-wall breaks—we're bringing you an exclusive sit-down interview with Kimberley, one of the principal cast members. She gives us the inside scoop on her character's relationships, hints at upcoming scenes, and teases a few moments that fans won't ...

Character profile: Teri and Samantha

You can first meet Teri (mom) and Samantha (daughter) in the Cafe on Saturday afternoon.

Teri jokes about assuming you were her daughter's boyfriend due to the number of times she stayed over at your house.

Samantha points out that Catherine's mom, Victoria, doesn't let anyone stay over at her house. So the only way Samantha and Catherine could have a sleepover together was to babysit yo...

Keira can be found in the Electronics store on Saturday afternoon.

When you enter the store you see her being hassled by some kids, and she catches one of them taking a picture up her skirt with his smartphone.

She offers to help you in your product selection, even if you don't want her help. She'll admit she's just trying to avoid those kids.

The store manager won't do anything ab...

Version 2.1 (bug fix)

Version 2.1 fixes a bug where the trophies in v2 wouldn't register if trophy alerts is disabled. Desired outcome, trophy still registers but doesn't display an alert.

Also, added a trophy with Caprice. You have an option to kiss Caprice, but I originally felt this didn't deserved a first kiss trophy as it's stated in the game the two of you were in a relationship (and likely kissed before). However, for completeness a trophy is now awarded if you kiss Caprice.

Status update

It’s taking longer than expected to create the next release in Ren’py. Going forward I will aim to create the relevant scenes in Ren’py once I’m satisfied with the renders for each scene rather than leave all the Ren’py stuff to the end. 

I’m adding some disabled choices options. This is where a choice is dependent on an earlier action or relevant relationship stats. The idea is for you to see some impact of your choices and possible options for replay.

Character profile: Mom + Status update

Whilst the mom character is not a love interest, she does still have relationship stats.

This is similar to the male characters, although those are referred to as friendship stats. For both Mom and the male characters, the stats affect those characters’ attitudes towards you.

Max lives at home with his mom. Since he’ll be attending a local college, he will stay at home rather than move into a dormitory. Just like any mother, she has certain expectations of you. These include g...

Character profile: Caprice

Caprice is introduced in the next update.

She is the younger sister of Karla and lives next door to Max.

You were very close to Caprice growing up and would constantly hang out together. That was until starting high school when it wasn’t cool for her to hang out with a boy.

Caprice is not the best judge of character and sometimes hangs out with the wrong crowd. You can choose to guide her away from that path which will put you in her mother and sister’s ...

Poll results

Since the poll resulted in a tie, now seems like a good idea to put some thoughts down.

The results of a poll are considered guidance from the community. Whilst I will always try to honor the outcome, there may be occasions where something seemed like a good idea at the time but in practice isn’t workable.

Patreon provides me with a breakdown of the results. In the event of a tie, the first choice to reach the tied score is the winner.
