Hi all! Hope everyone had a nice Christmas or holidays if you are celebrating! A lot of my family are not around after Monday, and a few more are staying until after New Years Day, but it will calm down a lot for me this week.
My plan for this week is to do the two/three person render scenes for this month, work hard on the game with the new PC, and port/transfer over a lot of as...

I've got lots of family stuff going on, so this is a very busy week for that kind of thing, but hope everyone is having a nice Christmas holiday for those that are celebrating it!
My only news is very brief -- my new computer just arrived! I am still waiting for a few minor things (speakers and stuff like that) but my two monitors and main PC are now all here! I am going to hook it up tonight and start testing! I might not be able to fully utilize the full power of it ...

Hi all! It's time to vote on ideas for Kane/Olivia together for this month! As always, a tiny disclaimer that in case I can't find the right asset or something, the second or third choice might be relevant too! (a few choices below I have no clue yet if I can find something)
My new computer is very close :) I know it will be a semi-nightmare trying to transfer everything over and the new render program is in beta for my new video card....so some things cou...

Hi everyone!
I'm just kind of going right into it versus the memo format for this time, just to be different!
I've received my two new monitors for the new computer that is coming later, and it's been strange rendering with one of them as it looks slightly different (and bigger screen), so I have had to adjust a little.
I'm almost hitting a month since I formally started 0.4 (I think 11/12 or so?), and I think progress is pretty good considering the slower Thanksgiving week....

Hello everyone!
I am just updating again this week on everything! So I'm still waiting for my new computer, there has been no change on expected shipping date (always worry with chip supply) so I still hope to get it in the middle of next month.
What to expect this week -- I will release a poll for the three person images, and I will work on the two person winning ima...

Oh my God, the election is finally over! I went through quite a crazy week for work, but I didn't forget about spending time on doing some great 0.4 work! So starting tomorrow I am officially hitting the ground running hard again, but I did do a lot this week:
1) I have outlined about 30 scenes, and have separated them by normal computer and stronger computer needs (based on complexity of scenes) to render them well. I did a lot of asset hunting (scenes, clothes, etc) ...

Hi all,
This one might be a little long because it's a lot to update so forgive the stream of consciousness writing, I am just going to ramble while I try not to forget anything!
I am finalizing minor tweaks for a 0.3Final, it's not super important to most that have played 0.3A, but it does help me with minor adjustments to make 0.4 easier moving forwa...

Hi all, just a quick update and doing it early since I want to get back on the game! I am editing some typos and other errors I found, and also tweaking some images and making them a little nicer. I hope to have a Founders release within 24-36 hours, 48 at the latest!
Thanks to all that have given me some feedback on the Test Version! I am working hard to get it out ASAP, thank you!

Very quick! Hello from me! The test version of 0.3 will be out within 36-60 hours from this writing! I only have about five more songs to mix in the game, and then play testing all choices to make sure they all work. I am 99% confident I can hit this time because I have at least tested everything once, and will now spend the entire day tomorrow testing and testing.
What to expect with TEST version and what NOT to expect and how to help me!

I am doing this a little earlier than Sunday because I am happy to say that I will finish all renders tomorrow! The projected size of 0.3 will be the following: 992 renders, 34,600 words, the total of Episodes 1-3 combined will be roughly 2,109 renders and 77,100 words. Whew! I've been running hard for a few weeks straight, so after I finish the last renders during the day tomorrow, I'm honestly going to hang out with friends at night and refresh the mind! &...

Hi everyone!
I am keeping this short and sweet by design because I am knee deep trying to finish everything! Here's where I stand right now: I am taking a little longer than I anticipated mostly because of sheer size! I have multiple choice branches playing out, and my initial estimate of 750-800 renders is now way off. I am definitely going to make 0.4 smaller (which is easier to do since everyone will be mostly together) than this one! Here are the detail...

I am making this post public since I am getting pretty close now. I am keeping this a little short by design, as I would like to get back to it. I haven't had the best week with minor stuff outside the realm of the game itself, but I still managed to have a pretty good week. I am basically about done with everything, but I have a few more scenes to do, and then some music/editing/play testing, that sort of thing.
This update is just a little longer than I expected, and...

This will be a long wall of text, so sorry ahead of time, but a lot of information.
First of all, I managed to do pretty well even taking two days off completely, and one day just for music/editing. I'm now very refreshed and feel ready to go pretty hard starting tomorrow!
One weird thing I have to do Wednesday is try to be up super early and try and buy an RTX 3090 card and hit the super lucky break essentially against likely purchase bots, etc. Maybe I will get lucky...

Ok, I will make a nice 4k render for a three person poll, and try and maybe add a few additional angles/shot if possible. The three people are Alessandra, Olivia, and Jake. So here are some options!
This will be up only to Wednesday, so it's a little shorter because I want to get on this ASAP to get back to 0.3!

Hi all!
I will be releasing tomorrow a development update and also likely a 3 person poll set of ideas, but the more pressing issue right now is that we had a tie with the prior two person poll! So a 3 day tiebreaker, sweet and simple! Either Elena getting pussy eaten by Kane or a golden shower! (tied 17 each)
Just vote for what you want, and I'll work on it immediately after we figure this out, thanks!

I am just listing some links to some possible uniforms, just let me know if you like any with thumbs up vote! Pick any and all you want, these would not be something the main girls would wear but more the guards and trainers working the prisoners...I'm having a hard time narrowing down some choices.

Ok! Kane and Elena won the poll, and this is great to me because I've been wanting to get these two back together later in the story hee hee! Elena is not technically a main character, but she is very critical to what happens overall in the story. I have put some ideas below for possible scenes, and just go vote for what you might like! I'll have this poll up until early Saturday so I can make sure I finish it over the weekend, thanks!

I will do an update later tonight on weekly progress! For now, this is the three person poll, and I will also be releasing a scene poll for the two winners (Kane/Elena) in a day or two as well! So I am taking out Kane, Elena (this month 2 person), Samantha, Juliette, and Elena (already out but were winners of 3 person image last month)) for this poll. Go ahead and vote for the three you want and have a great week!

Hi all, pretty short and sweet, this is the poll for which two people you want to see for this month's image! I have taken out Alessandra and Olivia for this month's poll since they won last month. (and we did vote to go this route last month as well, hee hee!) I may try and knock these out early this month so I can focus on 0.3 without any distractions.
I'll leave this poll up until the weekend, have a great week!

Hi all!
Just tinkering with Discord, and had a question for a basic vote as I am curious. If I were to make Discord levels/roles I think they are called, would all of you prefer the tiers go from top to bottom or the opposite? What I mean is that would the highest tiers enjoy being the lowest of the low on the server, or at the top, or does it not even matter?
So one option would be lowest tiers at the bottom moving up, or the opposite. I was just go...

Hi all,
Just releasing the 4k images from the higher tiers to all Patrons now that's it's July so that everyone has a chance to see them! The Dominique images are from the Founders tier and the $5 tier image is Kiyomi, which was EXTREMELY challenging on my computer given the different lighting sources and darkness, etc.
I'll have a vote up soon for Founders tier, I really hope my computer can handle three people on a 4k image but I will do my best, maybe the bac...

So this week I am not going to be rendering or writing 0.3 yet, but I am going to do some work on it like finding assets for scenes and fine tuning my outline for it. I always want to get back to the story, so maybe I will still render the first scene, haha! I also need to catch up on my real work with a backlog of stuff from not doing much the last two w...

Hi all,
I am still finalizing some 0.2 stuff and pre-planning 0.3 locations (need assets, etc) but I actually for the very first time in my life downloaded Discord and tried using it. I found it to be very easy to use, and I honestly thought it was going to be very techie and intimidating.
So I guess my question is if people here would use this resource a lot. I have no clue how to make an actual server like this yet, but I would probably be asking for some kind of ser...

I finished some edits earlier than I thought so I will release early to the $5 tiers because I hate making people wait! (I've been there with other games, haha!) Usually, I would have a little bit of a longer gap, but I really want to get it out there for people to enjoy. Don't assume a one day turnaround is normal please, haha!
Thank you all to everyone supporting the game, and for those in America, hope you are enjoying the July 4 holiday.

Nothing lengthy to write here. Just that it might be tomorrow release for Founders and very soon after that again for the next tier. I haven't gotten a ton of feedback yet (it's a small group at this level so understandable), but I don't want to wait too long either so I might just release a tentative 0.2a version and run through another quick feedback loop to see if anything major is screwed up, etc. I've caught some dialogue errors o...
