Got some Chapter 5 Content Poll for ya'll ( waited for some time to see how it will play out )



Chapter 5 will put into focus some of the girls that have yet to spend some meaningful time with our dear MC, those being the Fujikawa Sisters, Jessica and muscle mo-Janice!
But there is still time for at least one other girl to have some quality time with MC (sex, this is a sex scene poll), so, who's it gonna be?
Vote now on your phones!
ch5poll.jpg

Alex = 4 %

Sarah = 19 %

Emily = 26 %

Stella = 52 %

------

Still 3 days left for the voting ...

So yeah if there is not some strange mystery, where there are more than 20 votes coming in for another character the end poll should be safe for a Stella sex scene next update !

First devlog of the new development cycle, so this one is free for everyone!!

I really wanted to come in and shout how great the production is going, but I messed up!
I was picking outfits and I landed on one I liked, so I removed all the others and just kept the one I needed. But somewhere along the line instead of deleting the skirt I hid it.

This would be fine, if not for a particular quirk of DAZ Studio: you see, when a character is not in frame I hide it to save resources, but when you un-hide it DAZ un-hides EVERYTHING. I didn't realize it and continued on my marry way, until this morning I saw that I had half the renders with MC wearing shorts and the other with MC wearing a skirt. So my Friday was spent fixing this mistake instead of progressing.

So yeah, I started working on Chapter 5 and, despite this hiccup that ate away a day of work, I'm already 100+ renders in with the next scene already set up and ready to be worked on.
The way this chapter is going to be structured is gonna make it... interesting to develop.
While Ch.4 was a chapter with a lot of variant scenes, Ch.5 is gonna be more like two parallel different chapters with some overlap, with the main story kicking into high gear, the Fight/Apology paths will almost split the game in two moving forward.

As I already said in the poll, which is still ongoing, so if you are a Roommate member or above go vote now, this chapter will focus on the girls that so far have yet to get the spotlight, those being Jessica, Rikako/Arisu (depending on the path you're on) and Janice (and to temper everyone's expectations, Janice is considered a side-LI and will not have her own solo ending, sorry).

My biggest fear is that the release will feel "short" compared to the other chapters, despite taking the same amount of work, due to the differences between the two main paths.

I'm gonna try to work as hard as I can to release an acceptable amount of content in a relatively acceptable amount of time, especially since in August I'm leaving for a week and a half for my first real vacation post covid.
As usual I'll keep you all updated on the chapter's progress here every Friday.
And no, I did not forget about the cat episode, but I'd rather focus on the main game first.

See y'all next next week!

Fair question. So far the only dom-ish moment is a variant of a scene and MC is the dominant one. In the future, one of the main cast members will have a Dom, Dom+Love or just Love path with more heavy femdom stuff (conversely, another character will have the option of a hard-sub route), but it'll take a while, my apologies.
so it doesn't matter if i pick sub or Dom at the beginning of the game?
MC is going to be Dom regardless?

No, MC will be more submissive with certain girls if she's on the bottom path and more dominant with other girls if she on the top path. To give you an example:

If you don't wanna replay the whole game to see the variations of the scenes you can just fire them up in the gallery. If there's a bot/top variant the game will ask you which one you wanna see.

It really does matter if you go sub or dom (top/bottom) ... being on the sub path is actually what you would think what would happen ( getting fucked by a strap-on while licking some sweet pussy).

On the other hand if you go the dom path you are the one using the toys most of the time.

Every scene differs regarding your choice, enjoy getting a (lesbian of course) dp in the sub path or take control of the situation in the dom path and make both of the girls squeal !

There is a huge variaty how your MC act's and react's regarding the paths !

Just saying it's worth playing both ...

No, MC will be more submissive with certain girls if she's on the bottom path and more dominant with other girls if she on the top path. To give you an example:

that scene only happens if you choose not to sleep with sarah
Yap it't the solo scene when you are actually ignore Sarah ( but really who would do such a thing - it's just a plain masturbation scene )!

Also regarding being a top or bottom.. you either be one of them. So yeah going the "equal" way doesn't change anything ( ends into the dom path if i remember right)...

HanakoXVN, considering you deliver 4 chapters in the same number of months, I think you shouldn't be harsh on yourself if chapter 5 take a little longer.

Also, they say it take 2 weeks vacation minimum to rest properly from work.
So take all the time you need.
Even more if it's your first real vacation in 2 years.

How many chapters will the game have HanakoXVN?
Do you already have the whole story planned out or are you just going with the flow?

My initial goal was to release monthly, before I realized I couldn't pull it off with my hardware. The "sane" and healthy schedule would be 2 months between updates, but I don't like having people paying me monthly and not giving them new content.

Also, they say it take 2 weeks vacation minimum to rest properly from work.

2? Make it 4, almost 5. :cry: Last trip was a week of camping in 2019.

- 8 total plus an "epilogue" update with all the endings.
- Everything has been plotted out. The only things that aren't already set are the middle of chapter 6(I have the beginning and the ending, I just need to figure out how to tie the two) and Chapter 7 'cause it's going to be a fuckfest and I like to free-flow those.
