Hello all!
What a week! Chapter 2 release and I am getting caught up on loads of different things. As I mentioned in my previous post, I wanted to do a retrospective of the development from Chapter 1 to Chapter 2 and what to expect in the short and long-term!
First things first: This has been a blast to create, and I am very thankful for all the support and enthusiasm this goofy and lewd game has brought. I look forward to continuing the story onward and showcasing even more lewd and titantic-titty content!
Development: So this has taken a bit longer than I had anticipated! With my initial start into Chapter 2, I was hoping for a 4-month release cycle - but juggling a healthy balance between development, work, and life is something I try to keep in mind. Even with some delays, I feel the level of content in this release is quite high and I hope my efforts translated well!
With that being said, I believe there will be some much needed adjustments to be done with the release schedule to avoid any longer than needed delays, and to ensure a couple things! One is to prevent burnout. Lack motivation and creativity comes from overdoing things, and too many projects disappear simply because the passion gets overwhelmed by stress and fatigue. I have to admit, there were points where I was close (not to abandon the project as a whole!) - but rather it started to feel like a chore and less of a joy to do.
Thankfully I was able to take a little time off, and come back with a fresh perspective - I would like this to occur more often! To help accommodate this change, I will be switching up how content is delivered!
The plan will still be in a 'Chapter' based delivery; however, rather than developing and releasing all chapter characters at once I will be breaking it up into individual character releases. The benefits of this are:
- More manageable development on my end of things
- In theory, more frequent, albeit smaller, updates (they'll still be complete from start to finish with lewd scenes and all that!)
- Opportunity for more user engagement (Voting for character release schedules!)
- More focus on individual characters - rather than focusing on 6 - 7, it will be the one... I would like to have even spicier h-scenes and lewd situations in the game!
So, how will this look in practice? Well... not too much different than the way things currently are. For Chapter 3, the next update will have an introduction section which will then lead into the part where players can pick the scenes they want. Instead of having all 6+ available, it will be the one for that update (either selected through voting or other means). There will be a "SAVE HERE" warning so that progress can be preserved as the updates release characters up until the Chapter is finished.
Things to come: Chapter 3 will be featuring Elizabeth, Natalia, Jessica, Cybil, and more - a little slice of normalcy in the crazy events of the previous chapters! I am looking forward to developing this one, and I hope everyone else is too! As mentioned, I would like to do a Patron-based voting system.
With this system I would like to use it for selecting Bonus Scene production and Character Selection for the Chapter updates. This will all be detailed on the later voting post since this one is getting a bit lengthy. Your homework until then is to check out Chapter 2 and choose your favorite Sin!
To-Do List: So far the release has been stable! I have been brought to attention on a gallery bug which will be addressed in a later patch. Among this patch I will also do some additional grammatical and spelling checks, and fixing any minor scenes that may have some glitches and / or clipping.
Short-Term: I'll be taking a little time off to chip away at the bugs and corrections before doing a patch release. I will be diving into Chapter 3 shortly after, and will be providing a Roadmap post like (

to detail the next steps, Character selection and so forth!
Appreciation: It can't be overstated how awesome everyone is for supporting the project. I am happy with how things are progressing, but I am always in the search for improvement. I think next Chapter and the characters within will be bombastic and there will be a lot of lewd content to go with it! With that, I will wrap this up with a 'Thank You!' and 'See you next week!'
