UPDATE #02

So, the renders have been taking longer than I expected. Even though I went down the sprite route, with full renders only reserved for erotic scenes or introduction scenes, it still seems slow. Just on a side note, as amazing as DAZ is, its one of the most horribly optimized piece of crap software I've come across!

With that out of the way, I'll keep chipping away at it little by little and hopefully will have most of it done in the next week or two. So I ended up completely changing Hannah's look, her skin material and face morph was causing a lot of trouble for me so I just said fuck it and redid her model. I had to redo her scenes and sprites but thankfully its all done, and honestly I didn't really find the older model that attractive anyway.

Finished the map and the quest marker system. The quests show up on the map for you to progress in the story. There can be multiple quests at a time (relating to different characters or even the same character in different spots, to perhaps pursue different routes with them). There's little brief description of the quest that pops up when you hover over the marker. Got the idea from another game I played here a while ago.


Finished the renders with Hannah's introduction after the prologue, have to say I'm really glad with how they turned out.

And finally reached the Olivia's introduction part, had the most bloody difficult time with her renders, still not completely happy with them but I have to kill that perfectionist urge and just move on. Here's some of them:


Hannah works at a massage parlor and gets you a temp/intern job as a receptionist, that's where you get introduced to Olivia. Don't wanna spoil too much though.

So this is mostly the kind of stuff I got done since the last time. There's other smaller stuff as well like some new sprites, renpy stuff, etc. but don't really feel like its necessary to mention here. I've noticed I'm all over the place with the writing and story progression, don't know how writers do it, but I definitely need to organize myself a bit better in that department.

Still unsure about how much content should be enough for a first release though :unsure:.




Thanks, and yup sissy stuff, chastity stuff and crossdressing will be optional/avoidable.
Its looking fantastic!

And not just her ass, although that's fantastic unto itself!

The rendering looks seriously Amazing. I dont usually play 3d games because most of there renders look very rigid. But I have to say from the images above your rendering looks one of the best I have ever seen.

And yet it's the only one that allows to make stuff like this with any sort of ease. Gotta take the good with the bad.

First of all, the renders look amazing, definitely going to be in the upper echelons in comparison to other games in here.
I do get that it takes a lot of time to do them but remember this is a marathon and not a sprint, even if you do the most amazing renders and story telling it's going to take time to gather patrons, at least enough for a new rig for rendering or to replace a minimum wage job so remember to pace yourself(I do hope you prove me wrong though).
I'm glad you compromised on sprites for now, and decided to remake the Hannah model, you've got to pick your battles after all.

As for story organizing there is probably several software programs that writers or game makers usually use, I'd seek advice in the development sub forums or maybe on discords where the game devs hang out, especially wordy games with multiple "paths".


In regards to how much is enough for a first release, this is a pretty subjective one, I'd prefer a substantial release with 2-3 sexual scenes along with a decent amount of story telling and building up the setting and the world of the game and teasing the player for things to come in future releases, even if it takes another two months or possibly more.
As a side note I do think you need to put some emphasis on the writing, especially during sexual where you are currently limited due to rendering issues(for now).

I just want to thank you I appreciate all the hard work you been putting in to this game your renders are absolutely beautiful and the fact that you're doing a futa game makes it 1000 times better.

Take your time there no rush or you will burn yourself out we can wait as long as you need.

I want to say that Olivia is the best character she is so damn hot god I love her design so much hope she gets a lot of content.

As for the release I would say maybe 3 sex scenes would be good for a first build, I usually hate porn games that have 0 sex scenes in their first release makes me not want to even download the game, I personally think its better to release a game with 2 or 3 scenes even if it takes a bit more time to release the first build.

Hi....Min Thy Lord, How are you? Congratulation on your game. I hope to see a release soon. The Renders are looking good and the story seems interesting. Hannah looks really beautiful ;)
Will there be any footdom/foot fetish scenes?

Thanks so much for the kind words. I am well aware of the negative andies on this site lol. I'll stick to my vision as you say, only incorporating something into the idea if it appeals to me and I feel like I'll have fun making it but this made my day, thanks.
It's a good mindset to have.

The first release is going to focus more on Olivia's content, and with her at least I can tell you that the relationship isn't going to be like what you described. Yes there will be sexual exploration, domination, and corruption as well, but there's going to be more to the relationship, she's going to help you get your life back together, your relationship with your parents as well. Even maybe get you a job at her office. She isn't going to be the stereotypical super-harsh femdom that treats you like a fleshlight (not all the time at least). She's in fact very loving and caring almost like a mommy ;), but she also has a very sexual side to her.
I hope there will be some footdom content with her :p

Huh, I thought the first scene would be Olivia fapping or something like that.(with the MC watching and Hannah finding him watching Olivia...)
It does look great, but people generally prefer the MC to be the only man around in my opinion, at least in terms of sexual scenes where the MC has none at the moment.
Renders looks fantastic though.

Yeah. Basically if the person in question is presented as a LI and then has sex with someone else there will be quite a lot of people complaining about being cucked some will cry NTR.

Personally I feel like voyeurism scenes just for the sake of having more sex scenes are useless. At that point I'd rather have less sex scenes in the beginning if you want to leave enough time for build up.

But I also don't know your plan just my two cents. Good luck with the game

UPDATE #03

Apologies, haven't posted in a while. RL got in the way. Well, small one this time unfortunately. Like the previous update, the bulk of the things I got done this time were still just more renders.

Did some more renders for the stay at Hannah's home, also expanded on the story and narrative a bit:

I've settled on a sort of third person narration mixed with Alex's inner thoughts as the writing style. Still haven't added any player choices yet, though. The story is very linear right now, but I'm thinking of adding two 'routes' for each character. One more of a romantic/serious relationship type, and the other more hedonistic fuck-buddy type.

Also a lot more sprite background shots for locations like these:


Even though I'm no fan of point systems in VNs. I think it might work here. Making certain choices with a character, like choosing to wear certain types clothing yourself, or making the LI wear certain types, choices regarding what kind of sex/kinks you're into etc. will accumulate points which'll come into play towards the end of the arc of said character, determining what "end" you get.

More Olivia stuff for the parlor job. Having a good time in the sauna.

Quickly approaching the first sex scene. Gonna need a lot of renders for that. Its gonna be voyeur, so MC won't be directly involved.

Also some stuff I've been putting off for a while: was thinking of adding a phone interface, so characters can send texts/images which you can see, also need to design a new character which I've been dreading, wish me luck.

I've put together this rough phone UI for just calls from characters. Thanks to MissFortune for providing a lot of little useful things like this. But I want to make it more interactive. Who knows maybe I'll just stick with this and add the images that are sent to you in a gallery or something.
Olivia might be one of my favorite 3d game characters I ever seen I cant wait to see her in action she's absolutely stunning thanks for all the hard work!

I am personally always in favor of sex scenes that involve multiple people other than the MC. I have never been able to understand why this is such an issue. Watching other people have sex is really hot, and this is porn. I'm all for it!

Because most people insert themselves into the shoes of the MC and most people prefer to be a part of the scene than a voyeur to it, especially if the scene has a potential LI and a "stranger" or a person who's not a LI, not to mention that this is the first sexual scene in the game so it's even a bit more frustrating(it is much better than the usual "MC peeks on LI in the shower scene" however)
Just filter by weighted reviews and see how many games or VNs have other male characters beside the MC take part in sexual scenes, and even if they do it's a very small amount of content.

I do get what the Dev is trying to do, he has to "awaken" the MC's interest in sexual stuff, especially of the femdom variaty and that is certainly a way to do that. I would've preferred it done in another way but that is a subjective matter.
