Molly keeps twirling her hair whenever you're around. Prepare to meet the friends Lily won't stop talking about.
As far as progress goes, we're 90% done, as we edit the scenes and make final additions. Thanks for your patience!

Cass tells it like it is. Prepare to meet the friends Lily won't stop talking about.
As far as progress goes, we're still aiming for a big update at the end of September with Lily added, over 15 new scenes for Tara, Lily & Janice collectively and new locations to explore. Thanks for your patience!

This should give us some new garbage collection methods as well as new tools like sequences, new organization methods and some new programming freedoms. We previously didn't switch over because of our GM Live extension but that's since been updated. Overall staying up to date will make things easier.
We're looking at shooting for a September 30th early release build and then subsequent tiers to follow after.

We've started on the next door neighbor's background art this week. Stay tuned to meet whose inside!
Things were a bit slow recently in terms of scripting the dialogue interactions, so we're looking into hiring yet another dialogue scripter. Luckily I've been keeping an archive of videos that help explain the process in detail.

Hey! While moving Janice, Tara and Lily forward, we want to show off some early sketches of Cass & Molly. These two are Lily's best friends. I wonder what they'll think of you?

Previously we didn't have any organized texture groups, so memory usage was quite high with around 30 texture swaps... Now its around 10 average!
Now we have each texture sheet organized so you should see an even smoother experience than before. People with great PCs probably wont see a difference but if you played on Android and had troubles, it's likely they'll clear up now.
We'll continue to optimize as we build the game.
As for progress report, we...

Hello there!
Some sketches of Janice reading her new book. Oh also her giving you some action ;)
We moved a little slower this week as my primary occupation got a little busy, but we'll be back on it next week even more so!

We always knew when we were doing the scenes that the dialogue was baked into the code, but with the help of our new programmer Qevin, we're putting it into external files.
This has a lot of benefits like helping our writers alter dialogue already written quite easily, but the biggest help is for future localization (translating dialogue to other languages).
It's nice to do it now so that we aren't making massive changes later 🎉
More to come!

Hey! Thanks again for staying with us, enjoy the new update! It doesn't have a ton of new story content but we're setup very strongly now for the story moving forward! Can't wait to start implementing more story for Tara Janice & Lily as well as getting the fun skill mini games onboard and working!
We're also looking into an HTML5 build so you can enjoy on any device with a browser!

I wanted to make a post to explain everything in detail.
First thing's first. I tested on an iPad mini and it works! Woot! I just need to make sure I can upload an IPA and explain side loading to iOS users, since by default the app store doesn't allow adult content.
We're also doing something called YYC builds for Game Maker Studio. So up until now the program was interpreted and slower. Now we're going to use compiled builds that run nice and quick!

I was sick throughout last week but i'm feeling 100% again. You should see 0.1.3 released very soon!

Just like Janice & Tara we have nude poses for the shower and any other type of clothing or nude needs.
v0.1.3 is almost done, we're ending up putting more into it than we thought but we think you'll appreciate it.

Patrons only due to topless. Of course we'll be animating this scene as well. The topless won't happen early on but we can always use the art in a later scene and draw the bottom halfs interacting. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Hey just wanted to update you on our last big update for v0.1 before we head into v0.2.
We've finished knocking out the known issues list, we're also adding characters into rooms depending on daytime. Time will also pass after certain events. You'll also be able to analyze objects in rooms for more lore or perhaps a chuckle.
After that we'll be focusing on the story of Janice, Tara & Lily, as well as new locations, mini games & stats!

We're almost there! Last dialogue event is being added and character daytime spawning & event method is also in the works. I wanted to make sure characters at least show up in the correct rooms for their individual routines.
After that we'll have our dev team do one last QA pass before we hand it off to you! I'm excited for your all to play the first build but even more excited to continue working on such a fun project thanks to you all!

I took a little bit of time to setup a software called batch text replacer. Now this wont do everything we need for setting up the characters, but it does convert every dialogue line into a click event which should help moving forward with the setup.
Just something neat I thought I'd share. On the left is the dialogue from our doc. On the right is the new text. It inserts code between the dialogue lines, saving us some time and we get the entire structure in for a chapter so anyon...

We're getting closer everyday! Thanks so much for your patience. What's left is about 2 chapters to write out and animate. Hoping we can knock it out by this weekend!
In the alpha you'll be able to customize names and also characters relations to you.
I'm also in talks with a CS Student who offered his help with the dialogue. If all goes well we can get him a paid position on the team.
Cheers!

Ah so this is the daughter of Janice that actually turned out right :P Story wise Lily might actually be my favorite character so far. I'm excited to get her into the build, but for time sake we'll be introducing her after the alpha build.
More updates about progress to come! We're getting super close!

Instead of just exporting full faces or even full bodies to slap onto the characters, we have modular pieces for the mouth, eyebrows and eyes. It takes a little bit of time now but the payoff is less HDD space & more flexibility when working! We'll show off a bit more of the faces next post.
