New preferences: Resolution and save description (0.1.9 preview)

Hello everyone!

Starting with version 0.1.9, you will have the possibility to change the game resolution.
Available options are: 

• 1280 x 720 --> this is the default and the already existing setting
• 1600 x 900
• 1920 x 1080

Since basically the screen is auto rescaled using renpy functionality, you need to run the game in OpenGL or directx mode for this to work. OpenGL mode is the default setting. Changing the resolution will not work in ...

Yvette sexting (0.1.9 preview)

Hello my friends!

With all these Amy previews, our beloved Yvette was a little afraid to be forgotten.
So she sends us a sexy greeting in form of a new sexting image.

The above image will be one of two images in that outfit, that will be part of 0.1.9.

I'm also thinking about upgrading all of Yvette's existing sexting images to webp format and at least 1920x1080 resolution. Maybe even make an adjustemnt or two. This wouldn't take very long, since I have all the files on m...

Private workout with Amy, part 2 (0.1.9 preview)

My dear patrons,

you've probably seen the free preview of Amy's private workout that I posted some minutes ago. Here is another one, this time the MC working and Amy spotting him.

It's also just one frame of an 11 frame animation (same logic as before - 11 frames used for up and down movement, so in total 20 frames).

The next update will be very "Amy heavy". Due to the nature of the update and the introduction of the new max love/affection system, there is no other way to do...

Private workout with Amy (0.1.9 preview)

Hello everyone,

this is a preview of Amy's first private workout scene.
The image above is one still frame of an 11 frame animation, that looks like 20, because it's 11 frames up and the same frames are used for the down movement.

In addition it's in 2560x1440 instead of 1280x720. As a result, it will look much better than the 3 frame animations used in the basic workout scenes.

The appointment for the private workout (weight lifting) is part of Amy's quest line to increa...

More from the private workout with Amy (0.1.9 preview)

Hello my friends,

it seems someone is really proud of her goods! I guess we really can't complain about the view.

This is another preview of the pretty hot private workout scene with Amy.
The appointment will have about 20 images plus a looping animation sequence that will be using the animation interface.
There will also be a happy ending of sorts for the MC. I won't say more, because I don't want to spoil the surprise.

Enjoy the preview!

Private workout session with Amy (0.1.9 preview)

Hello everyone,

I've been so busy rendering and writing, that I almost forgot to share some images with you. This one is from the private workout session with Amy, which is part of her quest to reach level 3 for her max love stat.

I hope you enjoy the preview,

Yvette and Amy - size comparison :)

Hello everyone!

These are two renders that I did just for fun. They are not part of the game.
Since a discussion about Yvette's size came up in the other post, I have placed her next to Amy.

One render Amy without shoes and in teh otehr one, Amy with some standard high heels.

This shows just how short (and cute) Yvette really is.

Enjoy the renders,

Amy and Jennifer talking (0.1.9 beta)

Hello guys and gals,

I have another preview for you. Jennifer and Amy are talking about <something> from Amy's past. I don't want to spoil the surprise, so I won't go into any details right now.

In any case, you can overhear them and use the opportunity to learn some more about Amy's past. I will also be the start to another scene with Amy. The scene that starts is part of her "max stats" quests.

Enjoy the preview,
Darkhound

Learning how to do a proper massage (0.1.9 preview)

Hello guys and gals,

this is a preview from an appointment with Renée. We can finally learn how to do a proper massage. I'm pretty sure the MC will put it to good use :)

The massage training is a quest that will have three parts:

• upper back massage training (receiving, giving)
• lower back massage training  (receiving, giving) 
• leg massage training (receiving, giving) 

Renée will be the "teacher". Once the quest has been sta...

New user interface, right side panel (0.1.9 beta)

Hello everyone!

Since the right panel of the user interface didn't really look good in combination with the slim and more modern looking new UI on the upper left, it got an upgrade as well.

For the right side panel, the changes are more cosmetical in nature. I didn't change functionality, because the buttons are needed as they were.

The following details haven been changed:

• more transparerent, slimmer looking background
• all buttons are back to the standa...

Last poll results and what to make of it

Hello everyone,

we had two polls the last weeks, where I didn't post anything about the results and what it will mean.

So here you go. Let's start with the first one:
The question was concerning the rework of older scenes, which ones would you like to see improved?

• Boob compare event (Aly and Faye) --> 21%
• Butt contest (all girls) --> 9%
• Yvette room service (maid scene) 2019-09-18 17:31:56 +0000 UTC View Post

Changes to the game mechanics (0.1.9 beta)

Hello everyone,

I have finally started working on changes I wanted to do for quite some time now.
I wil try to explain the whats and whys in this post.

1) Better game balancing / improvement of "grind feeling"

• Early game play is a bit boring and repetitive
• There are too many talk about options with generic content where most of you probably just mindlessly click through without reading them
• The game kind of drives some players ...

About the use of PC, MAC and Android versions

Hello everyone,

I'd like to get a better feeling for how many people are using the PC, MAC or Android version of the game and if you are having problems using the versions or the incremental updates.

Especially for the new Android version, the poll will help me decide how much time I should invest into this (meaning update cycle, etc.).

You can give multiple answers in this poll!

Many thanks for participating,
Darkhound
