Last update before an update? If that makes sense...
I have about 90% of the code done and working for this update. Adding all these mechanics made my scripts have a civil war amongst themselves. I have been rendering and writing. Rendering is a bit slower. I see a toe in the floor or a nipple poke through a shirt and have to adjust and render again. Soooo much time for one picture and for every picture.
That being said, I'm knocking out a few more renders (like 50 honestly) and I should be set to finally release something. I have ran through the game like a 100 times looking for bugs in the code and hashed out what I have found. That does not mean you won't find any. I am just diligently trying to find them all, that I can, so you possibly don't run into any.
I am very excited to finally get something out but, I don't want everyone to think I'm dropping this massive work. Yes, I have typed about 6,000 lines of code and rendered 100's of times, just to render the same image again, because of a piece of hair going into the torso or something but, the mechanics that took me weeks to write, will only take some of you a short time to get through. Especially those who skip text, it will be real short.
I have, however, implemented sandboxing (free-roam, however you want to say it) so, the game is no longer linear. I have implemented a stat system for both player and NPCs, inventory system, random events, and a lot more. There will be things to do and some game to "play." Obviously if you cheat the stats, you'll be able to burn through the game pretty fast.
I plan to add so much more. What I will need from you all, is constructive criticism and to help point out any bugs you find. I'm human and I make mistakes. Point em out and I'll fix em. The stat system and requirements in my head may not be as fun for the player. So if any of the stats are too hard or not implemented well, post a comment about them and what you suggest and I'll possibly make a poll to see how everyone feels or adjust it if I see a trend.
Anyway, long story short, I'm about done with the next version and should be dropping it soon. A few more tweaks and some renders. Thanks for your patience!
edit: No animations yet. Each animation takes way to long. I will probably hold off animations until a solid game is running. I'd say at minimum, v0.5 or later. So all still images, for now.

That's a disappointment. Good luck with your sandbox game.
Hope it ends up being worth your while.

I have always had the intention of making the game a "sandbox" game. I have mentioned it multiple times, but I apologize if i never made that 100% clear.That's a massive disappointment. Good luck with your sandbox game.
I do understand there is a crowd that likes one or the other. So I will also have to accept the loss of some. Sorry this implementation is not your cup of tea. Always hate to lose someone who supports you in any aspect of life. Even just a game.
I didn't actually find the game here originally, and that site has very little info from devs. I appreciate the time and effort to implement all the mechanics, so I honestly do wish you good luck and success - I just personally don't usually enjoy spending lots of time clicking around with little story progression. But since I may have allowed my disappointment to make my post overly

Thank you and I get that. I am not trying to make this a "click everywhere game." I've set it up for all of the choices to be in text display in each room. I do understand the whole negativity of a grind though. I will make this as easily grindable as possible. I want people to enjoy the game, not work to play the game, if that makes sense.I didn't actually find the game here originally, and that site has very little info from devs. I appreciate the time and effort to implement all the mechanics, so I honestly do wish you good luck and success - I just personally don't usually enjoy spending lots of time clicking around with little story progression. But since I may have allowed my disappointment to make my post overlybitchypetulant ...I'll give the update a try when it releases rather than just giving up on the game.
That being said, I am/have implemented mechanics that will seem grindy at first, because I don't have everything implemented I want yet. For instance, Right now, you can peep on the girls to increase your steath, but there aren't any other current actions for stealth building. BUT, I plan to implement story options that increase mechanics, i.e. if you and say Hailey have built a relationship together, you will be given the option to sneak to her room. Upon success, you'll get steath points. Something like that.
I would wait for the next update if you want more story. I haven't made a "roadmap." I am just going to post what I plan next in the Dev notes after each update. I feel roadmaps force you to only follow them so, just saying "I will be working on" each update, will help people forsee the work coming.
So, you are welcome to try this next update, but if you want more story, it will be the update after. Where I take the current mechanics and build on them with story implementation.
Working on a few more renders for Jenny and Hailey's room and I'll update.

I am as well! Renders just take so much time. The update is ready, other than the pictures for the scenes. I think I've worked out most, if not all of the script errors so, I'm just rendering. Taking awhile, but should be done soonish.
Dang am i missing something 2 years on this i dl it and finish it in 10 minutes and no nudity or anything? the renders look great but such a short game

You miss quite a lot when you don't read actually. Plus the game states "On hold" in the tags, meaning there is no estimated next release. But, if you would have read, you would have seen I went through a really bad divorce, lost my home, my cars, my money and my livelyhood as a whole. I've only recently restarted work on the game, as it took over a year to get through the divorce and get my life in order enough to work on it. Something that I am doing for free and in my free time. Any more judgement you care to toss around when not informing ones self?
You can lead a horse's ass to water, but you can't make him read.
wasnt any judgement was a honest question,god you people on this site are so fking rude when a person ask a question.i wanted to know if i was missing something and even complemented you on the renders.Then of course the other has to put there two cents of rude remarks under it.A lot of you people are straight up asses here like being on reddit.And i dont give crap about victim hood your going thru bud.I lost more than 2 homes and children from a divorce and been broke for 20 years since ,paying child support for over 20 years,homeless at times and my father dying last month and im not being rude here and being a ass.when someone here ask a question maybe this site can answer it with out being rude just once,but the internet is full of arm chair idiots who only know how to be rude and tough behind a screen.

I was only being rude, because you didn't take the time to read the many posts I've made about it. Even though, I have been unable to make updates on the game, I still made an attempt to update what the status was.
There are a lot of creators, that take months and even years off, from making an update, while still charging their supporters on Patreon etc. I am doing this completely free and still giving it more effort than most.
The main reason people get irritated with post like yours, is you asked a question that has already been answered on this thread. Even updates to progress and where the game stands. Before getting defensive, take a moment to use that little search bar and make sure it says "This Thread" when you search, and you will probably find what you are looking for.
Then, adding "I don't give a crap about your victimhood" and then playing the victim? Common...
FYI that wasn't me playing a victim or asking for sympathy. I was merely explaining WHY I was behind on the game. If you put "I'm having life issues and can't make the game" you will always have to answer the why later anyhow so, I just got it out of the way. Never asked for help, just I needed time to get my life straight until I could continue.
I am truly sorry you have been through hardships. I do understand your pain.
The newest update is roughly 90%ish... Renders are taking a lot of time. I rendered almost all day Sunday and didn't make the dent I had hoped to. Once the renders are done for all of the current scenes I have scripted, an update will be released.
