Polishing Ideas

Hello everyone,

While I already have a lengthy list of things to potentially polish, I'm also interested in any ideas/requests. Preferably things that are small in scale (the smaller the better).

Here's a list of things I'm aware of, and some of which may be changed this update, (please note, this is NOT saying all of these things will be changed in this update, because some of these things I'm not 100% sure how to properly approach, and may be projects that end up t...

FMG Life Sim 2024 Polishing Update Alpha 1 Released!

Hello everyone,

I've recently sent out the FMG Life Sim 2024 Polishing Update Alpha 1 . If you processed an Early Access ($10+) pledge this month (November) and did not receive a DM with the release, please contact me. If you joined after pledges were processed, and processed a $10+ pledge, you can also contact me for a link.

Here are the notes for the update:

- Implemented a new piece of art from Oriander into the muscle level 7 scene.

Small Update / Minor Plan Changes

Hello everyone,

Given that we are sticking with the monthly billing system per the poll last week, and that a build was released then as well, I think it would be a good opportunity to simplify things a bit further on my end. Instead of releasing the 2024 Polishing Update Alpha 1 tonight and then having to send out new links to anyone who joins or processes a new pledge the day after, I'm going to wait until tomorrow night (November 1st) to do so. This way the new build will be s...

FMG Life Sim 2024 Jobs Update Beta 3 Released

Hello everyone,

Despite what I said in the last update, I ended up making another iteration of the Jobs Update. Basically, I felt like the early game needed another option, and also I thought it would be best to actually finish the full-body comparison dialogues/descriptions completely, and to also implement them into the posing activity since that was barebones (and it's pretty fitting)

The update has been uploaded to the same Google Drive with the other iterations ...

Poll: Switch to Subscription Billing or Delay?

Hello everyone,

Back in December of 2022 I held a poll asking if you'd prefer the campaign to stay with its per-monthly billing, or to switch to the subscription model. At the time, remaining with per-monthly won, and I've left it alone at that since then.

However, Patreon is now phasing out all non-subscription billing types to accommodate a requirement for Apple's iOS app (this seems backwards to me, since it's removing features people have used for a decade to fulfill a ...

Next Oriander Art Poll - Part 3

Here's the final poll in determining the next piece of art by Oriander for the game. It'll depict the GF at muscle level 24 (erroneously listed as 23 in the poll). Mostly selecting poses that aren't represented within a few levels of that image.

You can vote for all of the choices you'd like to see - poll will close in 3 days from posting this.

Next Oriander Art Poll (Size Poll)

A new general girlfriend image has won the previous poll, so here's the next poll to determine which muscle level it will cover. A third poll will be held to decide what pose she's in.

Multiple options may be voted for.

FMG Life Sim Jobs Update Beta 2 uploaded

Hello everyone,

FMG Life Sim Jobs Update Beta 2 has been uploaded to the same Google Drive link as the previous versions. Here are the change notes:

- Added many more dialogues and descriptions to the full body comparison activity. Now has support for all of the 'stage 1' player almost all of the 'stage 4' player variations, along with others added here and there. Still have some more to go, along with more descriptions. Though, the more I work on this activity, th...

Next Oriander Art Poll + Small Update

Hello everyone,

Planning on another end of the month release - should be the conclusion of the Jobs Update unless additional bugs are found afterwards.

Vote below on which piece of art you'd like commissioned from Oriander next. After this there will be 1-2 more polls to determine more details.

You may vote on multiple options - it's currently scheduled to go until the night of the 30th.

2024 Dialogue Update Supporter Edition Sent Out

Hello everyone,

I've sent out a batch of DMs containing a link to the 2024 Dialogue Update Supporter Edition for the $5+ supporter edition tier, as that version of the game is planned to be released publicly soon.

Tried to cast a wide net with the messaging filter, but the number seemed kind of low, so it's possible I misunderstood it and some people were missed. If you've processed a $5+ pledge in the past few months and did not receive the DM with the supporter edi...

2024 Jobs Update Beta 1 Sent Out + Next Update Poll

Hello everyone,

2024 Jobs Update Beta 1 has been sent out. Here is the change log:

- Added image of girlfriend bench pressing to muscle levels 13-18 (while doing the home weights activity with the bench press)

- Added the recently provided image 'str-9' to the level 9 muscle scene; this currently has 3 images, and I may end up bumping up the 'old' level 9 images to the level 10 scene in the future since muscle level 10 is moreso where the ripped 8-pack should s...

Quick Update + Minor Poll

Hello everyone,

Currently planning on releasing a new build of the game tomorrow night. But I will also be very transparent for the sake of honesty - I simply have not accomplished nearly as much 'deep focus' work relating to FMG this summer as desired. This is a little awkward because a surprising number of new people have recently joined up (very grateful for you all!) but the update will be relatively small given the amount of time that has passed since the last one.

FMG Life Sim 2024 Jobs Update Alpha 3 Sent Out + New Art!

The latest build of Life Sim has been sent out to $10+ patrons with an active payment! If you fall under this category and didn't receive a DM, please DM me here on Patreon.

Also, I received this piece of art from Oriander a few weeks ago, but somehow forgot to post it. Sincerely thought I did, but after looking over the posts, it seems it wasn't. Sorry for that! Here it is now - it's also implemented into the game and appears during the scene after collecting all 7 medals.

New Art from Oriander!

The winner of the previous art poll is still being worked on, but Oriander has graciously provided two new images in the meantime - a rendition of Sidney from the beach, and Clarice from Chance's!

These will be added to the upcoming build of the game, the 2024 Jobs Update Beta 1 which is currently targeted for release on June 30th!

Big thanks to Oriander, along with everyone who has supported the game - hope you enjoy everything to come!

FMG Life Sim 2024 Jobs Update Alpha 2

Apologies for the delays - this past month has been a bit slow for me in terms of FMG content creation.

Alpha 2 Link Sent Out

Hello everyone,

Just sent out a link for the Alpha 2 update. If you processed a $10+ pledge in May and did not receive this link, please send me a direct message.

Unfortunately, was not able to complete the update by the end of tonight, but will be placing it inside the link's folder when it's completed next week. Doing it this way so that anyone who processed a pledge in May that ends up expiring still gains access to the update - if you supported the release in May, ...

Next Oriander Art Poll - Finale

Hello everyone,

Want to clarify that the next Alpha for Life Sim is scheduled to come out Friday night. It will primarily feature dialogues/descriptions for the new jobs and activities.

The girlfriend performing bench presses won the recent Oriander art poll. This final poll is to determine how big the girlfriend will be in the art.

Currently leaving out beyond muscle level 40, because that's past what's required to complete the game, and would rather have art ...

Next Oriander Art Poll Pt 2

The girlfriend working out has won the previous Next Oriander Art poll!

This poll will determine what exercise she's performing. After this will be another poll to decide how large she is during the exercise, or what position she's performing if yoga wins.

(Excluded squats and stretching because there's already an image of her squatting in the game, and one of her performing a standing leg split)

Like all of these polls, you can vote for multiple choices, so select everythin...

Small Update

Hello everyone,

Just a quick post letting everyone know that the Alpha for the 2024 Jobs Update is currently planned for release on the evening of April 30th / early morning May 1 depending on how last touches go.

Ended up adding more jobs than expected, along with new 'skills', and a new apartment upgrade / a couple new basic activities. The alpha will be mostly just the mechanics of this, and more detailed descriptions will come in future alphas - along with more finetuning of ...

FMG Life Sim 2024 Dialogue Update Beta 2

Hello everyone,

Attached is the FMG Life Sim 2024 Dialogue Update Beta 2

Change log:

Fixed and changed at least 37 things of various sizes. Some were as simple as removing line breaks from passages, while others were more complex.

Here are the highlights:

- Fixed an oversight where Ulric wasn't describing the daily potions - there was actually a unique dialogue written for each potion years ago, but these didn't display due to this. Also changed what Ulric...

Updating the Special Thanks

A few years ago, I changed the Special Thanks reward tier to require patrons to contact me with what name they want to be credited with. Before that point, I had simply automatically added all of the names of Patrons to the game (with usernames or only first names), but realized that there may be individuals who don't want to be added for various reasons. And since even many usernames can be traced back to 'real' identities, I erred on the side of caution, hence the added requirement to be co...

Next Oriander Art Poll Part 2

4 days have passed since the first poll and an art depicting a story/stats scene has a solid lead.

You can vote for as many options as you'd like

(Left out muscle level 30 scene and height scenes because those involve comparisons with the player which would make it trickier to depict given his variable stats)
