Hello everyone,
Just wanted to verify that an Alpha 1 for the 2023 Story Update will be launching tomorrow night (April 30th) before midnight EST. It will have much of the coding/game mechanics aspect of the update implemented, such as winning the medals from contests and using them in the goddess chamber.
Thanks again for your continued support, and hope you enjoy everything to come!

Hello everyone,
Fell behind a bit at the beginning of the month, then had a death in the family in the middle of the month. But the 2023 Height Update is finally content completed.
Here are the update notes:
Beta 1 Notes:
- Added 2 new height based dialogue scenes. They trigger after the GF has gained 15 and 30 height over her starting height.
- This is an experimental style of scene where the player interacts with the GF directly. Currently the dialogue choices...

A new build of the Height Update is available.
Still working on the flexbility+yoga descriptions, and the new height scenes, but implemented in the ability for the player to use the amulets and brain teaser. He still can't use the effort absorber, nightmare collar, or beach goddess amulet, and there's currently no plans for him to (though this is subject to change in the future if there's enough demand)

Another small content update for all patrons - the quick talk dialogues discussing the girlfriend's general height are attached below.
Following this, there will be another category of height related quick talks that are based off of how much the girlfriend has grown since the start of the game (tracked with a variable to account for custom characters). Many of those dialogues will be the original height quick talks (which generally discussed how much she's grown), but some new ones wil...

Hello everyone,
Another quick update for you today.
Instead of another small alpha build of the game, I'm attaching a .rtf of the new Quick Talk Dialogues centered around comparing the characters' heights.
After these and more are all inside the game another Alpha build will be released, but until then descriptions will be released on here.
This also gives a bit of content for the tiers below $10 (something I need to work on doing more consistently)

Hey everyone,
Went ahead and paused the campaign since the character creator is not in your hands yet.
This means you won't be charged on January 1st.
Brand new Patrons will still be initially charged while joining per standard, but won't be charged on Jan 1st.
When the campaign resumes, if desired, I will set the campaign to "Subscription Billing". What this setting does is makes it so Patreon no longer charges on the 1st of each month, but instead charges you on the ...
