[I-Love-Adventure]

nice update thank you

 

[Davewatch]

Well I have got to say I prefer shaved but bye the bye What I really need to say Is I think Joe Steel an Contented Consumer Have said it all for me I agree with them. To Sakrilas and VelcroFist Good luck and keep up the good its a great game / novel what ever the hell it is its dam good Cheers

 

[Joe Steel]

I actually think , its worse when one seemingly minor choice can change the flow of the game. It is just seems frustrating as a player when game doesn't go the way you want it to go. I am not saying that is the case in this game. But I don't think cosmetic decisions should be a fork , mainly because everyone has their own subjective opinion on what can and can not be considered more "humiliating" or "beautiful".

I thought like this for about five minutes after I saw what difference that decision made, but then realized that the devs had been building to this being a key decision from day 1. How many times did the protag think about her public hair and "ugly" vaginal lips? The rule of Checkov's Gun made it necessary for the pubic hair decision to have significant consequences, and it did.

This feels more like story than most games that are also just stories and given how slow progress is, which is fine( I'm not contributing to make it faster), I don't quite see the value in making 2 stories at the same time, it'd rather it was one story progressing faster, otherwise it's very enjoyable despite the absurdities and also maybe because of them.

 

[Sakrilas]

<3 Thank you for the kind words everyone!

It is very motivating to see that people in general are enjoying the game.

I posted this render with part of the cast on Patreon as a thank you note. I wanted to share it here too.



By the way, I do realize the updates aren't as quick as some other games out there.

We are doing our best to keep a steady schedule of work. These sort of games can take a lot of effort to put together, and both Velcro and myself have our own 9 to 5 jobs to take care every day. Accounting for family time, other hobbies and taking time to rest, there are only so many hours we can put on the game every week.

We're being careful not to burn out, slow and steady we'll get to finish this game.

I strongly recommend, to those who prefer longer updates, to try the game every 3 or 4 months. That should bring a pretty large amount of new content. We will keep the monthly release schedule since a pretty large amount of our player base seem to appreciate the consistent monthly updates.

Sakrilas: Is there a chance you can reduce the times when you slide a character into a scene? It reduces realism (for those of us who care) and just makes that entire scene feel fake.

Biggest example is when she is on the track running naked the first time. You have a corner of the track in the background (very blurred) and then she comes flying up from the bottom right to land in the scene. Not only does she now feel like she is not part of the scene but then her body angle (feet at bottom middle, head at top right) makes her look even less like she is actually at this track and running.

There are a lot more examples where you show the scene and then the character cutout comes flying into it that just..... kinda ruins that scene for me. Maybe others disagree (or dont care one way or another), just a suggestion/requets.

In the example you mentioned, that blurry background is meant mostly for building atmosphere. It's not intended to match perspective with the foreground image.

That's a thing we (and other games do) to save on render work. Having a "generic background" meant for atmosphere-only means we can make easier and faster renders while at the same time reusing previous assets.

One thing you might be pleased to know is that we drastically reduced that approach as time went byy. You'll notice the later days involve a lot more of Full Dedicated Renders rather than generic atmosphere building ones.

Patreon Event #5 - At the bar

Here's the runner-up for the latest Poster Event. (

You must be registered to see the links

)

The Patron's request was:

"Casey dancing on top of a bar counter with beer bottles in both her holes, while Cass is recording her."

These renders feature Casey, Cassandra and Tina.

For those who don't know Tina, she's one of Cassandra's Friend. She hasn't had any dialogue in the game yet, but you can see her looking at her phone on Day 1.

Thank you to all that participated, and to Patron PotatoSauce for suggesting this event!






And a bonus: Cass' cellphone perspective

I understand and I also get why it is used, but in some (most) cases it is very jarring. I am glad you have reduced this. As a huge fan of public sex shit this is one of the few ive found that didnt have some other crazy shit I wasnt a fan of.

Patreon Event #5 - Painted Clothes

Here's the winner for the latest Poster Event. (

You must be registered to see the links

)

The Patron requested for renders showing Casey walking around town in painted clothes. Some of the people could notice her, others could not.

I also included Amelia dealing with some second hand embarrassment for her friend.








Thank you to everyone who participated in this event!

The fact is that this is "open secret". In the previous version, it was necessary to make a choice: to agree to a haircut or not. And events for the rest of the day. At this fork, the volume of work doubles. Perhaps someday she will be shaved forcibly, for example, in prison, then the two paths will unite.

I hope not. Personally, I'd rather she keep her bush or at least have it trimmed but never completely shaven, even if it will result in a consequence. I dislike bald pussy as I consider it to be aesthetically boring but to each their own. Landing strip is the minimum I would go, if bush have to go, since I like all types of pubic hair. Yes, pubic hair isn't great for cunnilingus (I'm sure no one like having hair in their mouth lol) but I could care less for that... I am only interested in old-fashioned vaginal sex, not that or even blowjob. Again, to each their own.

Actually, that was the *only* time that I had the protagonist refuse to comply with her blackmailer. I have to wonder if the consequences will depend on how many times she refused to comply with the blackmailer's demands. If it was just one time, would he let that go lightly? Moreover, would the consequences also depend on what kind of demands that she refused to comply? For example, he might consider shaving not worth to fight her over with if she refused, provided that she complied with most of the 'essential' demands. Just how important would he rate that demand?

 

[VelcroFist]

Some people prefer a full bush, some prefer clean shaven, while others are somewhere in between. Some don't really mind that much either way while others have very strong feelings about and are completely grossed out by any variations to their preference. However, in the story the pubic hair element is more about how Casey feels about it and its prevalence in the porn industry than what it looks like to the player. We merely use bush/no bush as general descriptions for the two paths at this stage. Story-wise though, I hope people keep an open mind and play all paths because they go quite a bit beyond the visual. There will also be a splinter option to take which will look at other pubic hair variations, but once again this will be more about how it affects Casey psychologically as well as exploring her interaction with other characters.

I love your game, thank you so much for it. Hopefully there will be a BDSM line in it in the future )
There's only one thing that confuses me. You write that in this world or country, official nudists must always walk around naked. What about in winter? Or do you have a tropical climate? ))

 

[VelcroFist]

Casey lives in a tropical area but it still gets a little cold in winter. Hats, shoes, gloves and arm/leg warmers are permitted in winter, and in colder areas of the State nudists are allowed coats outside but must undress again indoors. Most nudists tend to try to stay indoors when it's too cold outside and use online services for their needs. Protective clothing such as aprons etc are also permitted if a job or task requires it even if it's not cold.
When traveling abroad, some other countries will accept nudists from the State but don't enforce it, so nudists can cover up if they want/need to. Other countries are not so accepting (so far) and will only allow nudists entry if they cover up in public.

Thanks for the words of support <3

Since VelcroFist already answered your question, I won't add much more to it. But I'll share a quick render of Casey and Friends enjoying a vacation to a cold country that accepts registered nudists.




I hope you and anyone else reading this will enjoy it.

Thanks for playing our game, everyone. And feel free to reach out to us, either here, on Patreon or on our discord. We love to get feedback. Constructive criticism is a great way to improve the experience to everyone.

Thank you for your reply. I am very interested in this question, because in my region the temperature in the wintertime falls below minus ten degrees Celsius (no use just gloves and scarf here )) And yesterday I heard on the radio that in one Russian city the temperature dropped to minus 59 degrees (Celsius) and when I saw it I felt cold ).

 

[VelcroFist]

Yes, it's probably natural to assume that climates are similar to our own experience when we read stories. It rarely gets cold enough to need even long pants where I live so that is what I assume. (I have never experienced snow other than on TV in my whole life).
There are websites that specialise in photographing naked models in the Russian snow. It makes me tremble to see them, and it's obvious some of the photoshoots go on for some time. Brrrr...
I read one story with similarities to Casey's Fall where the girl drank a special formula which helped her cope with being naked in the cold. That could be one option but I think that might be stretching the boundaries of plausibility a little too much. There might be possibilities with special mesh fabrics that are heated with batteries etc, but it's probably safer to assume that people don't choose to become nudists in colder climates, or they just stay indoors during that time of year.

 

[TheRealQuetzalcoatl]

Casey with her red scarf and her stockings looks awesome in the above render. I am glad that you went for this option to solve the temperature issue!

Maybe just transparent but warm clothes?
