Development update

Creating the next episode is already well underway. There is going to be 2 big split paths in it, with drastically different content in each. Multiple saves will be needed to see each path. Follow on content from each path will come in future updates that rely on the choices made here.

We'll also be sending out an important poll within the next week which will shape the course of the game. It's important to us that we get your thoughts please!

Thanks Team!

Meet Blair

People think she's good girl, she definitely is depending on your definition of good.

Blair will be featuring in coming episodes and you can decide for yourself just how good she is.

Development blog

Hi all,

Sorry I've been quiet for awhile, my real job has been so crazy busy since early December. I have never known such stress at work. I've had one day off since the New Year. However since the project I was working on just completed, I'm hoping to have more time and energy for our Lacey.

Looking to have the next installment out by the end of the month, all going well.

Above is a little sneak peak, spending some time with her young BFF Riley at work. As you can see the nurses have a new uniform, a mandate from upper management. Either that or I hated the old uniform. 

Thanks for your continued support

Nio and Ren

Merry Xmas everyone!

Hi team,

A very Merry Xmas from Ren and Nio :D We hope you all have a wonderful time during the festive period.

A big thanks for all your support so far, we appreciate each and every one of our members. As a small thank you we're pausing all payments for the next month.

We're working on the next update and we'll make a post about it soon, perhaps with a poll too. In the meantime, stay safe and stay happy.

We hope you enjoy the Lacey in her Xmas attire :)

Merry Xmas

Hi all!

The next update is getting closer, with two more scenes to render. This episode is looking to rival our previously biggest episode (Episode 5). This is a fun update with 5 separate locations, culminating in the Sorority party Lacey attends with Riley. There are both straight and lesbian paths and options this episode, and we hope there is something for everyone to enjoy.
We will hopefully finish the rendering this week, and then we just need to add music and beta test before going live

Thanks for all your continued support

An update on game progress

Hi all

You have probably noticed we have been a little quiet recently. Real life has been a bit rubbish, with our house getting flooded, and we have been crazy busy with all that comes with insurance companies and rebuilds. We have tried to keep up with producing our game, but unfortunately, we are just too far behind at the moment.

Therefore, we have decided to pause all payments for a month, as we just don't feel it is fair to charge you while content is slow to come out. Life seems to be settling down, so renders should start getting on track again soon.

We will continue to give you sneak peeks, polls, and custom renders. The next episode will hopefully be released during the paused billing period.

We are so sorry it has come to this, but we can't in good conscience take your generous payments for content that isn't released as regularly as we'd like.

We thank you for your patience and ongoing support while we get caught up. The next episode has some fun scenes, and we hope you'll enjoy it.

Nio and Ren

Character reveal

Teagan was named by our level 4 and 5 Patrons, and we think they chose the perfect name! She features in the next episode, and we hope you like her as much as we do.

Just because...

Blog Post

Episode 6 is nearly ready to go live!! This episode incorporates day 7 and 8, as we thought just day 7 was a bit short on its own. 

Day 7 sees the morning after the big party...with a few repercussions from it. Depending on your choices, day 8 see's the return of Victoria. I hope you're gonna like this scene team :D We had a lot of fun writing and creating it.

Thanks for your ongoing support

Blog post

Hi all

We have been busy working away on the latest episode, and we think you will like it! We have decided to cover the next two days - just one seemed too short for our liking. The writing for the next Episode is complete, and Nio has finished rendering Day 7 and has moved onto Day 8. There are more animations and paths to take in the next episode, but all going to plan should be out at the end of the next month. 

Here is a sneak peek of Lacey...think you could do a better job of cheering her up than her bed mate?

As always, thanks for your continued support

Thanks to the double voting power of tier 5 we had our first ever tied poll result.

That means I have to create two options which were: Lacey with a girl and Lacey with a guy.

So I'll get that out within the next few days :D

Officer Lopez is very disappointed nobody voted to have Lacey help the police ;)

Episode 4 Links

Hi everyone,

We've been having some trouble with the download links for the latest episode, our apologies for any inconvenience caused!

I think the problem is two things, firstly it seems you can't "edit" links in a post after creation, it just causes problems. Secondly, I think I'll put the Mega links up with the decryption keys separately, having them combined seems to cause some issues.

Please use these links and fingers crossed they all work!!!

Episode 4 is now live for all Patrons.

Hi team! Sorry for the delay in getting this episode out to you, we've been struck down by Covid and it put us out of action for a bit. However once we were back on deck we pushed really hard to have this out to you before Xmas.

We will also have a couple of Xmas themed renders for you to enjoy on the 25th.

We hope you enjoy this latest update and as always, thanks for your continued support.

Seasons Greetings

Thank you all for your support of our game. What started out as a fun passion project for us has grown, and it is all thanks to you. 

We look forward to seeing what 2023 brings Lacey and the gang!

Merry Christmas!

From Nio and Ren

A little teaser to get you in the mood...

Drop is imminent! A wee pic to hold you over until it does...

Blog post

All going to plan it looks like our next drop will be next week! Final beta testing and bugs are being worked through, and sound and music is being finalized. Because of how large this episode is, it is taking time, as expected, but it will be good to have it all wrapped up well before Christmas. 

This is the biggest drop we have done, so we really hope you like it! The next episode will cover all of day 5, which is well over 500 renders and 3 different animations. 

As always thanks for your continued support!

Ren and Nio

Character reveal

Meet Professor Southee, a teacher at Lacey's alma mater with a bit of a naughty side who likes to ensure students get the best grade they can.

Professor Southee will appear in episode 4

Blog post

Hi all

It is pretty clear from our poll that you all would like larger updates less frequently. So that is exactly what we hope to do going forward. Larger updates should help progress the story more, and flesh out paths and decisions you make for Lacey. 

We will give you more sneak peeks and other renders to tide you over in between releases

Our next episode is coming along nicely. It will cover all of day 5, which was originally going to be separated into two episodes. Lacey finds herself getting up to mischief at work, learns something new about Riley, and finally catches up with her girlfriends Anna and Chelsey for some much needed girl time.

Thanks for your continued support. 

Nio and Ren

We want your feedback

Hi all

We would like to know what you would prefer - bigger updates that aren't as frequent, or smaller updates every month.

Bigger updates will be approx. every 2 months, and potentially span 2 game days. 

Smaller updates will be monthly and might be a whole day or half a game day.

Let us know what you think!

Episode 3 is now live for all Patrons!

Episode 3 is now live for all Patrons.

The light - Lacey and Natalie's friendship continues to grow and we meet Harry, Lacey and Ashton's neighbor.

The dark - Lacey's blackmailer sends her on a mission. What are they after?

We hope you enjoy this latest update and as always, thanks for your continued support.
