If you support them as friends, there are some actions that slightly increase romance but significantly increase the friendship bar. I think they're worth taking.
If you ignore the heart points at all costs, there may be actions that will cause the friendship bar to drop to less than half.

Well, when I see the word Steam come up I also get nervous because once a game hits Steam, development often seems to slow down to a crawl as the money rolls in. If you are worried about the dev abandoning this game, I would not. He has been doing reworks all along, as his abilities improve. This new hardware will also allow not only the reworks to move faster, but also the next update. Much of the game has improved a lot, although many people would not notice if they have not been involved since the beginning. The dev knows he went a little (maybe a lot) too far with the complexity of this game. Not many games have over 10 paths you can take (actually many more). But, there are three people keeping this game alive at all cost. I am pretty sure it will not be abandoned.

Hey y'all!
Scenes are complete and I'm waiting for the final renders to finish. I decided against tacking on Lily's section from EP2, and keep it as it originally was. I just have to make the end report screen, make some more UI improvements, clean up some scripts, think about what rewards to add (might still change my mind on this, as you unlock phone backgrounds already and I need to find a balanced spot to potentially unlock something else).
I expect to finish soon, and send it around for testing. I'm struggling a little with the idea of releasing this, as there's a big disconnect now between the quality of EP1 going into EP2. Then again, first impressions are everything. So hopefully with the quality improvements of both the renders and the dialogue, it'll turn less people off.
The copyrighted and trademarked items have been largely removed (obviously still have to do the other episodes), but I've now got a good base to re-release EP1 as a standalone demo as well. There's also enough to launch the Steam page(s), so that'll be next.
Fun fact, the intro was the only part in the game that contains actual DAZ renders. They've now been replaced with the UE5 versions (as per the preview image), and no legacy of DAZ remains.
Curious what you guys think, if you even can be bothered to play the intro, prologue, and EP1 again.
All the best,
Ezy ❤

Well the rework Beta was released in the last hour. I've seen a few reworks before. I thought someone had replaced by old monitor 
. This rework was totally worth it.

I am not an up loader and this is a Beta and still being tested. EZY is very careful of everything before he releases a game (unlike many dev's). When he is sure it is right, it will be released

Well EZY has been busy and here is an example of the change in the renders. The first picture came from version 3.1. The second came from version 4.2. They were taken from the animation at the beginning of the game where the MC and Nyah are jamming. The new animation is amazing. The character movement is perfectly synced to the music. I have never seen anything quite like it. The old one well... it is pretty boring by comparison.

reworks dont do nothing than renders quality ,in this case and to be clear for the average joe isnt worth it,for maybe someone who spend 2k in aditional 8k moitor maybe,..but not for the normal guy,...i dont see why to change from a 4090 to a 5090 if 90% of reviews says is just another nvidia scam,...[my last graphic card was anvida,change it for a nice well done radeon,ofc my prefernce] but still spending is something so complex that even in the best case scenario gives a 30% diference in quality,i will not talk about time wasted or not....rework is ok if it comes with some past mistakes like being the plot too limited and short on freedom of choices,...is 50]50 u chose a and you close b,...too many paths,and discarded posibilities,..welll at the end is his project,but something is not right about the meaningul relationships ...like being with one li is enough to be locked out of difent or possible directions,...in only 1 choice,....i see this entanglemnt on many games lately,with multi Li's discarded bcs one non wanted choice,....why the need for 14 li;s then? for variety>? or simple for full up gasp and holes in the actual plot....
for the 2 first updates this was a solid 5 ,right now is not even a 4 ..why? bcs the plot not the renders ,there wasnt a gad damn thing bad about them but the plot....to much lilies for one garden and u can chosee only 1....

I'll just explain this one time, because you'd know why if you were a subscriber and have been following my detailed developer logs. There's a couple of reasons, and it's not purely about render quality. I'm expanding to the Steam platform, and as of right now, I can't because I'm using (idiotically) copyrighted/trademarked materials in renders. The quality difference is vast between EP1 and EP4, as I managed to improve over time, got better hardware, upgraded engine and updated my work flows. I can't go back and quickly re-render the older troublesome content, because it doesnt exist in its old form any more. There'd be huge inconsistencies.
Trademarked materials aside, I wouldn't give a damn about reworking if there would've been enough support and could've just continued as is. But alas, I don't have that luxury. Pushing things graphically is something I can do, to hopefully have a better impact on the Steam release.
I didn't replace my 4090 with a 5090. I got an additional machine with a 5090 to assist me with rendering while my other machine is free to work on scenes or my actual full time job. It's actually really good, and renders much faster than the 4090 (sometimes twice as fast). That's all the 5090 really is good for, more VRAM for more complex scenes, and much faster in rendering. Purely for playing games, I'd agree, it's not worth it. This move was a speed improvement, and not quality.
I've not heard anyone complain about plot holes,but if you think there are any, I'm all ears and can see if improvements can be made in regards to that. There's currently 5 advanced relationships you can form, with a potential 3 extra as of EP4. Not sure which game you're playing and where you're seeing 14? There's also only one Lily, so how can there be too many in the garden?
If you simply don't like what I'm doing, I can respect that. But I think then it's time for you to find something else that you do enjoy...

I wouldn't mind a few warm, wet and welcoming plot holes.
