Only Shadow Word: Porn is active in this thread now.
Towan Games is also making his own game, but there doesn't seem to be a working prototype.

ShadowWord was actively trying to learn how to get their AI setup to produce consistent art but was not working on the game itself. And i think they had ran into issues trying to get it to produce the more detailed poses and anything with multiple characters.
Towan had been actively learning renpy coding but i think their motivation and progress dropped a couple months after the artist who was helping them quit for personal reasons.
Overall that means no-one is actively doing anything.

An astute synopsis. ShadowWord had at first made a post showing Cream using an AI tool, presenting that art can be made for the different written scenarios efficiently. Going to ad lib here, there was a general frustration for lack of progress for the game at the time, and I think ShadowWord got tired of it all and wanted to show how easy it was to use AI to make scenes.
A user...egged him on, which prompted the effect of this inspiration.

Now if these two got together and collaberated, then maybe something could come out it it

Yeah, I was careful never to promise anything for a reason! I'm still interested in working on it, but I have a lot of other shit to do also, and I'm going at my own pace, which is frankly all over the place.
Please don't expect anything specific from me (or do, and prepare for disappointment). I'll share stuff if there's anything cool to share, but basically this is just one project out of many I enjoy fiddling with, and I cannot guarantee that anything will come of it. I hope it will! I have pleasant memories of this game, and it would be fun to have a version that doesn't look like garbage. Will I be the one to create that version? Dunno. When? Dunno.

People forget the pressures of development.
What is development?
Effort to create something out of the sum of your time.
Whence something comes into fruition, it undoubtedly causes demand. This eventually turns into overwhelming numbers that tears into media as gluttonous and insatiable as can be.
Like a seed, all crafts take time.
A nurtured tree flowers many fruits.
Code and structure built similarly with care, takes a deal of time, as well.
Edit: Unless you made Concord.
I call BSC "shitty" with all the love in the world, my fren! This was my very first H-game way back when lmao.OI !!! - watch what you're calling 'shitty'
Not sure if I'm just missing it... but how do you play the game?

Pretty much the same as BSC: get friendly with the cubs first before hinting at doing lewd stuff (20+ friendliness) with them.
To keep sane, until the dev releases the next update with the improved UI and better coding (around March according to his StinkBunneh
post) only work on one cub at a time.The dev did make it kind of obvious how to respond to the grown ups, but you should definitely save scum when those choices appear. Overall, the dev has been receptive to both positive and negative feedback (most people hated the current UI colors & the dev took our suggestions and has implemented better contrast AND dark mode - see his StinkBunneh post) and responds to bugs.
Cheers for the reply, appreciate it. Also noted about the March release which might be the answer but I mean literally, how do I play the game, or how do I get the game might be clearer. As in, where is the link to play it?Pretty much the same as BSC: get friendly with the cubs first before hinting at doing lewd stuff (20+ friendliness) with them.

I followed the link to the Inkbunny page and could see the journals and images but no game link as such. Created an account and followed the dev but nothing...
Their page has some photos under their gallery for vo.2 which has a mega link you can download the game from
Hey Gang - I gave up on the project awhile back. Rewriting everything was admittedly biting off more than I could chew, and I lost interest.
Instead of remaking the game entirely with a new vibe of older teen Cream, I have decided to instead just trying to finish the original. I downloaded a fresh copy of the game two days ago, and have a bunch of work done already.
The time system was easy to change, tedious to implement. So I have started there. The time increments by a default of 30 mins for an event, but can also be input manually. All scenes have a check for the time of day, location, and current RWC level, and will give a custom greeting when you summon Cream. This is implemented in most locations already. If the time of day is too late, Cream will tell you she is sleepy, and won't do any more activities with you.
I have created variables for thresholds of the important stats, like RWC_LOW, RWC_MED, and RWC_HIGH. I have started to replace parts of the code that refer to checks of RWC by a hard value, with these variables instead, so they can be finetuned later without having to change them everywhere in the code each time I want to tune or balance the game. There are thresholds for Touch, Happy, Lust, etc as well.
For example:
Touch_LOW = 10, Touch_MED = 25, Touch_HIGH = 45. If I want to change Touch_HIGH from 45 to 40 later on, I can do that in one place, and it will affect the rest of the script in the game.
I am using a similar concept for energy. I have Energy_LOW, Energy_MED, and Energy_HIGH. This will help tune the balance of action economy with the "rewards".
Each time an event finishes playing out, stats and flags for achievements will be updated, time will tick forward, and hunger will tick as well.
I see AI art for the game is still going strong. If people are willing to share their work here, I would be more than happy to implement it into the game. The last thing I'll need to figure out is hosting the game for download, and submitting it to the mods here on a new thread.
Hope everyone is well!

While sad to hear not everything went to plan with your take on BSC, it's nice to hear that someone is still interested in fixing the base game and at least 'getting it finished'.
It sounds like a great start in fixing one of the major bugs of the game (the timings) although just to put my penny worth in, I hope the '30min/event' can be adjusted just as easily as those other varibles you've been working on.
My reasoning is that SOME events would probably take longer/shorter than 30minutes - such as 'going to cinema' would usually be ~60-90mins, while buying from the stall by the fountain could take less than 30mins, just a thought
Don't forget there's been a few suggestions here on how to add some extra content to progress the game if it follows your own plans - you're welcome to use anything I've suggested in the past (the corrupted/fixed racing game, getting map earlier in week ), of course only worry about that once you're happy with the fixes.
Maybe you could even PM ShadowWord Porn & see if you both could combine your talents & spread the load a bit ??
Oh... & yes I'm as well as can be - thank you for asking
Thanks for the reminders on the suggested changes! I'll have to go through a bunch of old posts once I have a handle on fixing the bugs.While sad to hear not everything went to plan with your take on BSC, it's nice to hear that someone is still interested in fixing the base game and at least 'getting it finished'.

As far as handling time for different events, I have a stats_update() function that can be called to apply default values, but I can also pass it arguments to make more or less time pass, how much hunger changes, rwc, happiness, all the other stats as well, altering how much the stats will increase or decrease. The ability to call each change on it's own remains, but I find having this one function to call keeps things organized and easier to tweak.
Shadow Word Porn - I've been looking through the AI photos, and I wonder if they could share more of their work.
Specifically, I'd like Cream in her panties, and Cream without, as these are fairly common. Can anyone else make consistent looking images for Cream?! I gave it a shot, but my skills lie elsewhere.
I am currently taking screen shots of his work and cleaning them up in photoshop and resizing them to the correct size. I have a few done today, but would love a few more to work on!

It'd be neat if he could offload it to you if it would speed things up. Remember he's making those images to do what you're trying to do at the moment.
I did mentioned an idea on about getting the glitched game before getting the map a while back.While sad to hear not everything went to plan with your take on BSC, it's nice to hear that someone is still interested in fixing the base game and at least 'getting it finished'.
