That sucks, interested in the relationship just didn't want the threesome.
Can't start a relationship with either of them yet.

Be a bit challenging to start one with the roommate, she outright tells Erisa she wants to have fun and not talk about relationships.

They do have a relationship, they're friends and fuck buddies. Relationship doesn't only mean dating and being a couple.

If you leave wardroom when roommate tries to get you into threesome, does that negatively impact relationship with the two of them?
You'll see this impact the beginning of day 3 ;)

Things are moving. Still slowly, but I have some extra time over the next week or so to get in some extra work. Buuuut I just wanted to add that my new graphics card came and is working splendidly.
This scene (below) used to take about 2 hours to get somewhere I found acceptable. It now takes maybe 20 minutes and comes out in higher quality.
The benefit also hits in staging, where previews load more quickly - quite helpful!

Anyway, I'll have another Christmas render or two - and I'll probably put them out by Thursday. These have been a pleasant diversion here and there, but - just in case you're worried - I've been devoting most of my development time to work on the core game.

Grace and Abby in the giving spirit! I have at least one more of these tomorrow (maybe more if I get inspired), but after that I'll shut up and you'll only hear from me when there's significant game progress ;)

Merry Christmas, everyone - Amanda specifically told me that she was mad she didn't get invited earlier, so I had to give her THREE presents to compensate... ;)

BONUS 2020 Christmas5 - Amanda OliveReyMerriv2.png

Nina also couldn't resist Allison (and our heroine, making another cameo) - although she's sure she's seen her somewhere before...
BONUS 2020 Christmas3 - VickyNina(+Erisa)v10000_ps.png

And the twins... Well, they have their own family traditions - even if they're a little foreign to Whit.
BONUS 2020 Christmas6 - Twins+Whit_v10000.png

I hope you all enjoy these festivities. Now, as promised, I'll disappear until I've got a new update to share with you.

Happy Holidays!

Amazing game, i'am really impressed by the fluent and natural writing.

I have a few questions, i imagine there is/will be duos/trios (or is it more MC focused?) forming inside the boat, will we be forced to watch everyone fucking? or can we just focus on our own thing? Do relations have any weight or is just casual summer sex?

Thanks.

Thank you!

Most relationships will be MC-focused. I won't discount things happening between the other girls, but most of it will occur with MC involvement. So far, there are routes which wouldn't show you sex scenes not involving Erisa. This won't be possible on all paths, but this is rooted in the story and characters.

Weight of the relationships will develop over time - and according to preference. Chrissy and Abby already offer some committed vs casual options. Since Amanda's paradigm is more sub/dom based (and interlaced with betrayal), the weight of the relationship will evolve more over time and according to the paradigm. Ultimate choices with any of the girls would be at the end of the cruise, of course.

Thought I'd give a quick update since we're into February (already!?)

Breakfast is now completely written, coded, and rendered. Grace's event (see above) is fully written/coded and roughly 2/3 of the way rendered. I have about 20 renders yet to go, plus one animation. I had fun with it, and I think you'll enjoy learning about Grace from the perspective of her relationship with Abby (as a teammate).

Things will probably be a little less complicated with the other "midday" events. These will mostly be focused on developing relationships with girls Erisa didn't know before the cruise - and seeing them get to know each other as well. I'll get started on the second event once I finish with Grace's event (probably around this weekend).

Then there's the dinner dates, the group evening event, and day 3 endings. Most girls will have a date and there will be north of 4 endings to the day. So it's a lot. My work has also gotten really busy, so I've managed to go from losing time due to illness (I'm much better now - thank you all for your support and well-wishes!) to losing time due to my day job. It's been really frustrating, but I always saw this as a possibility, which is always why I've cautioned that I'd probably be a slow developer and never wanted to take anybody's money.

As far as the next release goes: I'm going to gauge where things are in March - if I feel like I'm speeding up, I'll launch a fully completed day 3 as soon as I can. If things are slower, I'm hoping to at least have things completed up through the dates, and would focus on a release at that point with the rest of day 3 to follow as soon as I can.

Thanks for hanging in there with me! As lengthy as the development cycle seems (at least to me), you'll have new cruise adventures before you know it!

Will there be endings with new girls in the game (for example, (on cruise): Liz, Allison (Victoria), Kylie or (before cruise) -Nina)? (Or will there be endings with only (three girls already known before) Amanda, Chrissy, Abby?)
Will there be a romanсe ending with Amanda in the game?

Most (if not all) of the cruisers will have their own ending. There are maybe one or two girls I'm still on the fence with. The original three will, of course, have endings. Nina will not (but maybe she'll make an appearance?). Believe it or not, this has all been planned for a while! (except the few girls I'm waffling on)

Things are more tenuous with the staff and crew, but, I'm not ruling anything out...

As for Amanda and a romance path - you'll just have to wait and see. It's a very polarized dynamic with her.

Happy March, everyone!

I don't want to write too much, but I did want to share an update on progress and planning. Things have been going pretty smoothly and I've been settling into my normal development groove over the past many weeks. Just a few nights ago, I wrote the final bit of script for the next release and I am now working on staging and rendering the last cluster of scenes. Beyond that, I just plan to do some debugging and proofreading before the next version of Erisa's Summer will be ready for you to play!

As somewhat expected, time did not permit me to get to the evening portion of Day 3, so the upcoming release will cut just before dinnertime. I think there's still a valuable amount of new content to that point and I also think it's going to take me a sizeable chunk of time to build out the dates, the evening event, and a ballooning number of nightcap scenes, which are all very involved. So, it's a logical point to put something out and return to work on the next chapter.

At this time, I'm planning to publish the next version of the game on Friday, April 2nd. I'm going to say this tentative release date is plus or minus a week to account for any unexpected delays or accelerated development effort, depending on whether my work schedule is relaxed or insane.

I hope you're all still looking forward to this, and I hope this update continues to deliver on this game's promise. I know my development cycle is a long one, but I still have lots left to share in this story, so stay tuned!

v0.5.0 has been updated! Go join the girls in the pool!

This update will take us through the first half of Day 3, and will end just before dinner dates commence.
Please let me know what you like and anything I could do better (exception: anything related to male genitalia)
There's also a discord channel now (link in title menu of the game). I have no clue what to do with it, but if you want to talk with me from time to time, I'll keep an eye on it!

Here's hoping you all enjoy the added content and getting to know our cast a little more. I'll be hard at work on the next update shortly and will continue to put out news on development at least once a month.

Bon Voyage!
