The creators said "choose girls, choose boys or choose both" so the game is whatever you want it to be I guess.
Yeah, but person was asking "if it's primarily lesbians", which only devs really know. We can only guess based on what we've seen.

Eleanor and her friends go on their last night out as schoolgirls, in search of new places and experiences. She thought that they were just going for cocktails, but it turns out Agatha has other plans...
Who will Eleanor meet? Will her mother's cautionary words about Agatha prove to be true? Who knows what the night holds...

When next update??
Updates are always on Monday, so tomorrow!











The 4K character image voted for by Elite patrons is now waiting for them in their inbox! We chose to do two exclusive renders for our first Elite patron reward, as a special thank-you. One of those two images is significantly naughtier than anything we've created so far...
Eleanor and Agatha get dressed ready for their night out. After Agatha successfully convinces Eleanor to wear her sluttier underwear, Ryan stumbles upon their open bedroom door. With his girlfriend still at university, Ryan hasn't seen any action in weeks, and toys desperately with the idea of watching the girls change...

He promises himself he's only stroking his cock looking at Agatha...



Thanks guys! And don't worry! If you missed August's render you can still sign up now to see what we have in store for September!

Development Update #4 - September 3rd, 2018
Patrons only
Sep 3 at 3:00pm
Hi guys!
In this post we’re going to share some important details as we begin to reach release time. We’re of course going to start with the most important news: release date!

Episode 1 will be released in approximately two weeks!

This is just an approximation for now, as we’re having to factor 5 days into that time where Rob, who does the rendering, will be AFAK (away from keyboard) for his birthday holiday from next Monday. That will mean we have no choice but to lose five days of render time. It’ll be a much-needed break, though - the first 5 days in 4 months that he hasn’t spent on High Life. (4 months and 4 days, to be exact.)

In that time, the rest of the team will still be working on finalising the script, the website, that week's development update and will begin work on the storyboard and script for Episode 2. And of course, you will continue to receive bonus content and sexy previews, so look out for those!

Ultimately, the aim is for the disruption to be minimal and not impact too heavily on our release window. If you don’t notice we’re a man down, then we’re doing alright. We’re working flat out to get as much done as we can before rendering is paused, but that 2 weeks could become 3 if anything unforeseen occurs.

Long-term release plan

Right now we're creating the game with a maximum of two months between releases. Once we gain more support and are able to render faster, we aim to cut that time down, so that we release new Episodes every month.

Fetishes

Finally, a few people have come to us with questions about the specific fetishes we have planned. Short of providing a long list, we think it’s easier to just imagine the kinds of scenarios that an 18-year-old girl about to be independent for the first time is likely to encounter. So think experimenting with girls, threesomes at parties, pushy boys wanting to try anal, learning to squirt, creampies and the risk of pregancy, and so on. If Eleanor gets accustomed to any of these fetishes, she may explore them further.

For instance, if anal becomes something she enjoys, she might like gaping or letting a girlfriend lick her ass.

There will of course be events that don't normally occur in a girl's life, like Anne/Eleanor domination (both will have the opportunity to dominate), but these will be incorporated into the structure of the story. In terms of broader themes, Eleanor can also engage in interracial and of course lesbian relationships.

Some other fetishes that we have planned are public sex, lactation, BDSM and bondage, and voyeurism, to name a few that at this stage we can see ourselves incorporating further down the line. We’re considering watersports as an optional fetish, but we don’t know if you guys would be into that. So let us know, and we will release a poll when it comes time to including it!

As we get closer to release day, we'll continue to share more info about the game and the story.

Thank you so much everyone, and remember to comment if you have anything you want to share or suggest!

Preview - "No strings, no small talk. Just pure attraction."


Zara and Aggie encourage Eleanor to set up a profile on the dating app Ignite.
If you choose to create an account, Ignite will be a way to meet (and hopefully fuck) characters you wouldn't otherwise see - boys and girls. It may also lead Eleanor to eventually feel more comfortable about the idea of sexual promiscuity and being sexually open...

And finally, if Eleanor stumbles upon someone she shouldn't on the app, she might have some difficult choices to make...

Development Update #5 - September 10th, 2018


So as we mentioned in our last update, Rob, who creates the renders for the game, has now started his one-week birthday break. We’ve paused rendering for that time and are focusing on finalising the script and beginning work on Episode 2.
In today’s post we’ll talk more about the story in Episode 1 as well as a couple of big things we’ve decided to add that we think you’ll love.

Firstly, we’re working on an Android version of the game, which will hopefully be released alongside the Windows and Mac versions of Episode 1, and will be included with each future Episode.

Secondly, animations! We’re looking to add animations to the game, that we’ll use in key scenes. The plan is to use them sparingly, and importantly to make sure that they’re actual animations of a high quality, rather than just a back and forth between still images. What we want to avoid is an immersion-breaking jump between a high quality still image down to a poor quality animation.

Animation may be something that we decide to save for Episode 2 and onwards, as it depends on how soon we can create them to a high standard before it impacts our release window. We may also have to put them on hold altogether until we can gain more support and invest in better rendering equipment.

If we do make any test animations in the meantime that we’re happy with, we will be sure to share them with Patrons for your feedback. So keep an eye out!

Finally, some more info about the story! If you want to go into Episode 1 with an open mind and avoid story spoilers, read no further!



Spoilers.

In Episode 1 there are no intercourse scenes (a slow build-up is the best build-up), but there is obviously nudity and there are several minor, sexually suggestive moments. There is an oral scene that no main character is physically involved in, but that Eleanor witnesses. It's an event she finds extremely difficult, and your decision about what to do in that moment will start to influence her behaviour and opinions. Whatever you decide to do, it may have consequences for both you and the people involved.

Not all the sex in the game is going to be porn-worthy and professional, and that's a point we want to get across. Eleanor is a virgin, so sexual encounters may be awkward and embarrassing until she grows in experience and confidence. The point of High Life is that the transition into adulthood, especially for an impressionable girl, isn't always sunshine and roses. With that change come new, sometimes scary moments.



As always, thank you so much for your support! We love reading your comments and ideas, so feel free to share whatever's on your mind.

This looks interesting, great quality of renders and promising take on lesbian content without turning mc into total slut to get some of that content like in some other games, also popular incest from the female perspective that is rare.

Devs really shouldn't concern themselves with animations until their rigs can handle it. My suggestion would be to make an entire game without any (at least if its a visual novel type), then use all that Patreon money thus far to fund an animated version those animation lovers can get behind and fund.

Trying to "experiment" with animation will only unnecessarily eat into your release schedule at a time when getting content out within a constant, predictable timeframe is the most important thing on your plate.

Yeah, completely agree. Most of these animations isn't even that great or worth the insane amount of time. Would prefer some more quality renders instead.

One week left to be credited in Episode 1!

You there! Stop!
If you've ever wanted to go the extra mile and become part of a project in its early stages, now's your chance! There's just one week left to become an Elite Patron and add your name (or whatever else you want to say) to the credits of High Life Episode 1.

Of course you'll also get other great benefits too: you'll play the game 4 days early and see exclusive content not included in other versions.

to make it happen.



Thank you so much for supporting High Life, in whatever ways you can.

Yep. Better use that time to render more stills.

Hope the pushback on the schedule is not to much and hope that Episode 1 will be fun :)
