Patch 0.9.1 released!

The release thread has been updated to v0.9.1 due to the bug reports you sent me over the weekend.

There were a couple of potentially game-breaking bugs, and I recommend everyone upgrade to v0.9.1.

If you have v0.9.0, you can download the two files attached to the bottom of this post, put them in your "game" folders, and overwrite them when prompted.

That will upgrade your game from v0.9.0 to v0.9.1.

If you'd rather download everything again, 2022-12-18 14:31:37 +0000 UTC View Post

After a Patreon-wide issue with the Discord bot, Patreon believes to have solved the issue with patron roles being removed and disconnected.

We are slowly seeing an increase in patron numbers on the server again.

Episode 9 - Final Preview (NSFW)

We reached the final preview for Episode 9. Stay tuned for the release date announcement.

Status update Episode 9

We have reached the final status update for episode 9.

The render queue is now down to a single digit.

9 animations remain, meaning that private beta testing, with my team of testers, can start within the next 1-2 weeks.

I have started preparing for the release, and the final preview will be posted next week.

It looks like it will be Halloween in December for every DIK and HOT...

Upcoming tier changes - 2023

Every year around this time, I review my Patreon page and make changes to my tiers. This year, I have no changes to any tiers below $75, but I've made a tough decision regarding the $75, $100, and $150 tiers.

If you're not pledging or planning to pledge those tiers, there's no relevant information below.

I have decided to discontinue the monthly Custom render reward starting January 2023. This means that the orders requested in November will be created and posted ...

Status update Episode 9

There are 19 animations left in the queue. 5 of the remaining animations are more demanding than the rest.

The overall speed feels good. At this rate, beta testing can start in early December, usually lasting for a couple of weeks.

Mid to late December is looking good for a release, but nothing is set in stone until beta testing and proofreading start.

If you want to see a teaser fr...

Status update Episode 9

The animation queue is down to 28 animations, and the speed feels the same as last week. My estimation from the previous status update still stands.

Animations between 4-13 seconds have been rendered to completion this week. The remaining animations range between 3-8 seconds. Seven of those animations require approximately 50% more render time than the rest.

I'm focusing on playtesting an...

Episode 9 - Preview #20 (NSFW)

Status update Episode 9

This week I completed the checklist from last week.

I've added songs and sound effects, fixed GUIs and code, and playtested several branches. I've also processed my dialogue for grammar/typos, parsing 350 pages.

I only have polishing and playtesting left while the remaining animation queue renders. When I polish, I add renders here and there and modify scenes/content/writing/coding to imp...

• Finishing the remaining lewd scenes
• Wrote three new scenes and made the art for them
• Polished and expanded a few scenes
• Wrote bios and added some characters to the Bios app
• Fixed the credits section for v0.9.0

Some Jill to start your week.

Enjoy!

Status update Episode 9

I've been posing animations, some static renders, and playtesting a lot this week.

I have 44 animations in the render queue and 252 completed ones. 

I'm finishing up the lewd scene I've been working on this week. After that, I have a partial lewd scene left to pose a few animations for. Then I'm done with the planned art. I estimate that I have ~20 animations left to pose.

Status update Episode 9

This week I worked on and completed one of the remaining lewd scenes.

I wrote and worked on some unfinished scenes and playtested/polished Josy's & Maya's and the Others' branches.

Josy's & Maya's branch feels the most complete out of all branches, and the Others' branch needs more work to bring it home.

I will work on the remaining two lewd scenes next week.

I believe...

Episode 9 - Preview #18: Isabella

Status update Episode 9

This week I started off making animations and renders for a lewd scene. After that, I felt like playtesting Sage's branch while polishing everything I found along the way.

I created Pack quest for the episode, added all lewd scenes to the gallery, tested special renders, and fixed some code for it. I fixed a big chunk of the final free-roam event code and wrote a bit more dialogue. I added some...

Status update Episode 9

This week I worked on and completed a big and tricky scene and some smaller scenes.

I have started working on the remaining lewd scenes of the episode now, posing both static renders and animations for them.

Art for 8 scenes remains, and three of those scenes need writing. I might need a couple more scenes after playtesting the episode if I feel something is missing.

I playtested Is...

Status update Episode 9

I've mostly been focusing on static renders this week. I've produced the remaining environment renders for the final free roam event and worked on many shorter scenes.

4314 static renders are posed, of which about 200 are in the render queue.

Of what I have planned, 3 scenes are left to write, and 13 scenes are missing art. Of those 13 scenes, 4 are lewd scenes that are missing animations...

Episode 9 - Preview #17: Quinn

Status update Episode 9

This week I've been working methodically, producing art for shorter to medium-long scenes and checking off my checklist as I went.

I've been working on the free-roam environmental art needed for me to test the final free-roam event too.

Soon, I'll be able to test the entire episode for the first time without any errors or blocking areas. There will be art missing during that test, but tha...

Status update Episode 9

This is the progress since Monday's delayed update.

The long 1 min 23 s animation is finally done, and I couldn't be more proud. I've put it together and added music/sound effects to it and probably watched it 20 times, smiling and thinking about how long way we've come. I never imagined I'd be able to do something like this in the past, and now it's what I want more of in the future.

Announcement

There's no status update this week because I'm dealing with a case of identity theft, which is halting development.

A user on itch.io is impersonating me and selling my games illegally under the name "drpinkcakegame".

If you bought the game on itch.io, you might have downloaded malware. Those versions aren't mine. I'd recommend you delete what you bought, demand a refund, and report the game to staff on itch.io.

I'm trying to reach itch.io about this, but they are acting ver...
