Just waitin for the next release.
So i'm not quite finished with my first playthrough but the mc says he wont go over 10 harem members, either this isnt true as there are 12 girls in the images tab or 2 get cut? or maybe the 10 total number is bullshit?

Personally think the ten was supposed to be the 9 plus Fiona. Think the #10 it is still the case even with the additions due to his ability to say who is in it or not. He can fuck you doesn't mean you will be in the harem. Question is if he hits 10 will he go I am not adding more or will he add more in the end.

I dreaded the fact that eventually I had to start creating renders for the next update. Actually I didn't realize straight away, but eventually I figured it out. The first scene of the next update was supposed to be a fight scene, and I was convinced that no matter how much effort I put in, it would look like dog shit.
I don't know what I'm doing. I create games based on vibes and what feels right in the moment. But you can't do that with animations. People already don't like the sex animation I put in my game. How are they supposed to feel about animations where I make characters actually do stuff?
Believe it or not. I was a little impressed of how the animations I made turned out. There are still a lot of animations that need to be made, but at least the first two are done.
So... Some of you might not believe when I say I dreaded starting with this scene. To those, I say, the evidence is pretty clear. I didn't just finish the text for Episode 8 (The next update; 11,000 words), I even finished the text for the update after that, Episode 8.5 (11,300 words). That's something I've never done before. I almost started writing the update after that, but I couldn't. Towards the end of Episode 8.5 I noticably fell out of a flow state. The words no longer came naturally, and my writing suffered. With which I mean, I absolutely killed it with the text that came before that. I told you I restarted writing Episode 8 from scratch, and yeah... 100% worth it.
The next two updates might be the best ones yet. I'm convinced. Now all I need to do is convince you. And looking at the image that comes along with this post, I'd say I will have an easy time with that. I mean, look at it. I should downplay the expectations for my future fight scenes (for my own good), but I truly think I can deliver something good. Give me a bit more time and I'll surprise you.
Anyway, I won't be home tomorrow. And then next week, I should probably work on this month's special renders, but Tueseday I'll be back working on this scene. Unless inspiration hits, and I decide to write Episode 9.
Not sure what you guys should be hoping for. Probably the later, because that means the game will be finished a little sooner.
Keep your eyes open for future updates.
Until then. Enjoy!
Seems clear to me that the 'battle' scene will probably just be a more elaborate training battle shown as an animation. Unless the dev put that render in as a red herring.
I don't hate the animations? Games with so many LIs can lean into non-animated character development, conflicts, and lewdness, since the strength of the setting lies in the large cast.
I don't mind the animations either. At least you're not using the same ones that pretty much most games use. I do think that breaking up a little more from focusing on the faces to focusing on the areas would help. But I love the game as is.
I was wondering though, if anyone knows where to get the hot tub prop that's by the basement swimming area. It's also in the AVN Friends in Need, but I can't seem to find it for purchase anywhere.

Hey everybody, we need to talk.
....
The dev smiles in the awareness that he scared the shit out of many of his readers
It's good news. And it's not just one thing either. How I stop being a tease and just tell you? Well, would be too easy wouldn't it?
The next update is basically ready to go. I'll probably put it out in beta access next week. The renders are all done (309 renders), the animations have been set up and transfomred into .webm files (21 animations), and the text is basically all done. If I had time to work on the game tomorrow, then Iwould be confident I could finish it this weekend. I'm taking part in a local volleyball tournament, so that's not happening. Even devs need hobbies
Still, next week isn't too bad of a pace either. Hopefully the upcoming updates won't take as long as previous ones. And actually there is a good reason to expect that they won't. Which leads me to the second thing I can tell you guys.
I presented my bachelor thesis to a couple of scientists, and handed it in. I'm only waiting for my grade and then I'm finally done with my studies. It's about time. I've been studing for about as long as I'm creating AVN's (five years). That's fairly long considering that my Bachelor should usually only take three years. Happens... No biggy
Anyway back to A Foreign World. I decided to stop expanding the memory screen. It's a lot of work, and I think it's no worth it. When the game is done I'll look at the memory screen again and finish it but no need to update it each update. Which brings me to the next thing.
We are getting closer to the grand finaly. I plan to do 11 Episodes with Episode 10 being the big Thingy and Episode 11 being the dessert for the fans. This means, we still have Episode 8, Episode 8.5, Episode 9, Episode 9.5, Episode 10, and Episode 11. Six more updates. Six.
And next week this number will drop to 5. And in Januar this number should go down to 4. You get it, right? I'm excited and I hope you guys are too. The next update looks fantanstic. It's some of my better work. The update after that is already written, and I think it's also pretty great. Let's keep this up for a bit longer and maybe next year I can finally finish my second long term project, besides my studies.
Keep your eyes open for future updates.
Until then. Enjoy!
I think that galleries often feel like graveyards rather than fun memories. All the interesting stuff happens inbetween the lewd scenes, even though both are important. I love this VN because the LIs actually talk to each other about the harem. In most VNs they just ignore what the MC is doing, which feels really fake.

Episode 8 - Release
Here we go. You can think of this as an early christmas present. Hopefully you don't mind if I give it to you like this. I wasn't sure how to wrap it and put it under your tree.
For those that haven't heard, I finished my degree, so from now on I have a bit more time working on games. Updates should come a bit more quickly. It's about time I finish A Foreign World, don't you think? There will be a few more updates (8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 11) and then the game will be done. I'm confident that I can finish the story in 2026.
I also started working on my next project in the hopes of having a store page up and running by the time the last update of A Foreign World will come out. It's going to be an AVN focused on 1-3 love interests. The story is already mapped out, but I haven't decided on a name yet. I'll announce it once things are a bit more set in stone.
Let's talk about this update. As always, Episode 8 adds another day to the story. I tried to create some fight animations. They are not horrible, but in the end it's not my strong suit. I just thought I needed some practice before the big fight with Nathaniel.
With this update I decided to stop updating the memory section of the game. From my perspective the time it takes each update to add something to the memory screen is better spent elsewhere. With the last update I'll go ahead and add stuff to it in retrospect. For now, don't expect anything new there. By now, I'm sure you know all the characters.
I often heard that the image and replay gallery has grown quite big, and needed a way to filter for certain girls. Agreed. I tried something, it's tested... But I'm not 100% confident that you can't somehow break it. Programming isn't my strong suit. Check it out, you can now choose a women on the left and you'll only be shown images/replays with her.
Finally, I can already mention that I'm fairly close to finishing the next update. I had a couple of very productive weeks. Episode 8.5 is going into beta access before the end of the year, which mean that the update will be released early next year.
Happy Holidays!

For a couple of updates I enjoyed this but it wasn't one of my faves. After a few updates it jumped to near the top of my fave list.
It takes quite a bit for me to get into male protag games. I assume guys have a similar issue with female protag games in that they can't relate to the MC or aren't interested in seeing things from a female perspective.
That said I like this MC. I like the girls too (shocking, lesbian liking girls, may as well have said water is wet).... but the story has me kinda hooked.
I enjoy superpower stories anyway but the idea of a group training one person to use all their different powers in order to fight one big bad super dude, i'm here for it.
