Hello guys and gals,
I wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and a great start into the year 2023.
The year 2022 hasn't been good to everyone. Although it's more or less the end of the pandemic for the western word, not everyone has been so lucky.
So many things have gone wrong. I hope that I speak for the vast majority when I wish you all good health and peace.
Hopefully 2023 will ge a good year for most of us.
But enough of the brooding.
Sara wishes you a ...

Merry Christmas my friends!
This is the 4k ultra high res render (3840x2160) for tier $10 for December 2022.
Since it's definitely the season, you get a christmas themed render this time.
A little later in the evening, things have gotten even hotter with Faye. Before anything else, you have to unwrap all the presents first!
Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.

Hello my friends,

Hello guys and gals!
I have good news for all the Faye lovers out there.
She has been converted to a full Genesis3 figure, meaning that she doesn't have to be retired any more.
Faye looks pretty much the same as before, with some very small improvements that you can really only see if you compare the old and new her in the same pose.
So there is no need to redo all her renders.
To get the ball rolling, Faye got a couple of new and redone things for the next update:<...

Hello guys and gals,
Yvette gets a cute and sexy new shower scene in her room that ends happily for her and our hero.
This one makes use of the new scene linking feature and required the "hallway walk images" from my previous post.
As I've already written earlier, for the girls with a lot of content, this will open up a lot of new options.
Take care and enjoy the preview,
Darkhound

Hello everyone,
these images are nothing special in itself, but they're part of the new option to link certain scenes and events and to go seemlessly from one to the other.
These simple images make it possible to walk with Yvette between locations that always use swimwear (like pool, gym, beach) and also locations that can use swimwear (like the player room or Yvette's room or the sauna).
So for example after a sexy scene at the pool, the fun can continue in her room.

Hello everyone!
Today I want to present a new feature that will be added to the game with the next version.
Have you ever wished to be able to just "fav" an image shown on the screen and be able to easily find it again at a later time?
You will be able to do exactly that with the next version.
Whenever you see the small "fav" icon on the right upper side of the screen, you can click on it and a message will appear saying "Favorite added!" (first image above)

Hello guys and gals!
Since Alice was really unhappy with her old wardrobe and her low resolution sprites for her evening at the bar, I decided to give her an upgrade for her sexy and skimpy evening clothes.
While I was at it, she also got emotions and a couple of additional show butt and flash breasts poses for her skimpy evening wear. The basic outfit sprites also have been upgraded to the higher resolution.
Updating the night bar outfits for her is relatively cheap, since ...

Hello everyone!
I've been experimenting with AI image enhanements, especially the upscaler to use it on older scenes where I don't want to spend a ton of time having to rerender everything.
The results are mostly good. Very often even unexpectedly good. It needs a decent older base image to work. In cases where the old image is grainy or noisy, the end result will be bad too.
Of course the quality isn't as good as when I really render the images again in 4K or 2160x1440. But...

this is the artistic 4k ultra high res render (3840x2160) for tier $10 for October 2022.
Yvette really wants us to join her in the pool.
In addition, as a Superior supporter, you also get the render available for Advanced supporters in even higher resolution, meaning also in 4K ultra high res (3840x2160) quality.
I hope you enjoy Yvette being a little naughty.

Hello everyone,
have you ever been annoyed that whenever choices came up on the screen, they where right in the middle of it, blocking the view?
This will be fixed with 0.3.7.
The choices are moved to the right side of the screen and are made nicer overal and also smaller and less interfering.
I still have to test it on my phone to see if everything is still readable and the desired choice can be selected without accidentially selecting the one above or below.

Hello guys and gals,
with the next main version, a new feature will be introduced, that will lead to random sex scenes with certain girls.
How does it work?
If certain requirements are met, a girl can ask to have sex with the player in some locations. The focus for this release is the night bar.
There will be some general requirements like lust or love checks, but also specific requirements like having done a certain scene, appointment or quest.

Hello my friends,
since I wanted to get the pre beta out for testing before my holidays, there was no vote for the July and August high res artistic renders.
So you get a double feature with Joy and Daniela in Joy's new office.
Daniela: Even with your young and busty pill and pushing out your breasts as far as possible, there's no way you'll beat me in size...
Joy: Oh shut up Daniela or next time I'll take a full dose...
