Just started playing this and its great to sea a female MC, l love her hair and her upfront personality....seems way less creepy have a girl like that than a guy....oh and the cat narration is pure fucking genius. I would not have guessed this was your first game

Just wondering if full animations for sex scenes are planned at any point? It not a deal breaker but those scenes would be way hotter than they are right now with proper animations

Ohh and is there a discord server? I couldnt see any linked

Bad animations never improve a VN and most devs neither have the time, the skill nor the hardware to do them well. it's better without...for me at least.

No, I don't have the skill, time and hardware (especially the skill) to do good animations. I could cobble together something, but it'd look janky and off-putting (believe me, I've tried).

You can find it in my signature (or ). Come and see me get excited over small things like motion lines and mirrors.

As usual, the first devlog of a new development cycle is free for everyone!

The first thing we need to talk about is Episode of Cat.

The game is essentially done. I only need to apply Luna's corrections, fix a couple of renders and maybe tweak a couple of things.
As already promised, it'll be released on the 3rd of September for Roommate and above Members and on the 7th for Couch Surfers. It's going to be a short affair, about half an hour.

Next, we got Patreon rewards!

On Saturday, 14th of September, Roommates and above members will receive the first official set of 4k renders, featuring Alex, Emily, Sarah and Jessica!
I'm so happy that I'm finally able to do these and it's always fun to make them, since they allow me to do things that I normally wouldn't for the game.

And now, the game itself. Let's talk about Chapter 6. I've started working on it on Wednesday! (I had to come back from vacation, do Episode of Cat and then had to deal with some plumbing issues)

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

See you next week for the Episode of Cat release!

Just finished my first playthrough of this game and it has become one of my favorites. I really love the fact you include an optional guide in the base game. I wish this could be standard for all AVN's. Can't wait for future updates because I am hooked!

I wish I could fall asleep with three pretty girls.

But rather with the lights off. Though I managed to sleep with Behemoth (death metal band) blasting in my headphones when I was very tired a few years back. Anyway the cat is the best character. :)

Is she talking about Alien: Romulus? :D

2088? Seriously?! Most of the people in this forum won't be alive to see it! :LOL:

This is how the confrontation at the end of the current update could go down:
MC engages Rikako. Janice jumps over to the "landlady" and knocks her out, then she joins the mc in pacifying Rikako.
They use her to lure out the person attempting the coup in the Fujikawa company. The meeting will take place in an open public space, say a stadium. When the "Fujikawa" delegation arrive the mc will greet them, but surprise, many red dots will appear on the Japanese guys. Sharpshooters will be revealed all over the place.
The end. Roll credits. :)
There may be an epilogue / after credit scene showing how everybody fared afterwards.

With Episode of Cat done I dove straight into Chapter 6 in full force.
This is the first chapter that I'm doing on the new rig (let's ignore the last 100 renders I did for Chapter 5) and I had to adapt to working with an actual GPU.
c6s1a42.jpg

Very briefly: I need to manage the GPU's VRAM, so scenes, environments and characters need to be prepared carefully beforehand and, sometimes, testing is required to get the most out of it.
Don't get me wrong, it's a GREAT problem to have, I just needed to get used to it and, now that I believe I am, I'm working FAST. How fast is "FAST"? Let me give you a comparison:

weeklyrendercomp.jpg

This is a snippet from the sheets I use to keep track of my work. If we ignore the 28th of July (I was sick) and the 2nd of September (I had to do the prep to release EoC) you can clearly see the increase of renders-per-day.
And the best part is that not only the new renders look better, but so does my work schedule.

c6s1f10.jpg

Before I had to work around each render taking from 20 to 35 minutes to be completed, meaning I had to wake up early and go to sleep late to maximize the time available for rendering.
Now I get up in the morning, do my work, have dinner and I'm done! I actually get to have some time for myself in the evening, which is helping my mental health A LOT!

But, since I can't leave shit alone, lately that "time for myself" is still spent on the game, but for another reasons.
I stopped working on my side-projects (Neon Heart, my monthly Pharahposting on Twitter, where I render Pharah from Overwatch in extremely lewd poses, etc...) to go back and fix some of the crap I thought was "acceptable" in Chapter 1.

remasterexample.jpg

This is not a "rework" or "remaster" and my focus is 100% on the new chapter, but I was replaying the game recently and just couldn't stand how some of the old renders looked (overexposed, grainy, sometimes with the wrong aspect ratio). So, in my free time, I'm working my way through and redoing some of the worst ones while listening to wrestling podcasts.

c6s1ft42.jpg

Anyway, if it wasn't clear enough, work on Chapter 6 is proceeding smoothly. The aim is to release it by the end of the month.
Next week I'll give you a more detailed overview of the chapter. See ya then!

It's a good new that you can now have time for yourself in the evening.
Buuuut... don't take this time for redoing the game, even if it's in your head!
I think you're an Italian? So go outside in a coffee shop, and enjoy a cup of coffee on the terrace while watching the pretty girls walking down the street.
Dolce Vita!

...
Let's just say Rikako is already quite pacified in my playthrough. ;)
please let us have both sisters
I do second this, though I can see how that might be tricky to do with the branching paths.
