Charlotte :love: :love: :love:

I do hope that when they say "revamped the MC's appearance" that they won't be changed too much because I thought the MC was totally fine as they were, especially the fact that he was seemingly mixed race. It's practically non-existent to have something like that in these VNs and I really appreciate this game for having a MC like that.

It's been a minute since my last dev report, so I'll just make one now, though I don't have much to report.

I've started rendering for the game a little over a week ago. It's gonna be a little more complicated than I anticipated because I recently revamped the MC's appearance as well and gave him an updated place to stay. I say complicated because I originally wasn't going to update every render, but now I think I kinda have to if I wanna keep things consistent. I'd rather not cut corners here. It will take time, but it will ultimately be worth it.

Just for reminder, the revamp is all the chapters I've worked on so far. So I'm essentially re-rendering everything. As I said though, I cut down some of that render time so the most time-consuming thing should just be setting up the scenes to my liking. Currently, about 40 renders deep and going. I'll have a preview for you guys soon.

That's all for now really. I could go on, but I'd rather keep this as brief as I can.

In the meantime, enjoy this Charlotte render.

I've been working on implementing more HDRIs into my images. I'd like some renders in Connected to use some of these for outdoor settings, but I'm not too sure how that would work most times as multiple angles would most likely be used. But I'll see what works and what doesn't.

Until next post!

I don't know if the MC is being revamped a lot, I do know that CZ mentioned that the MC's height was a bit of an issue when creating sex scenes. Not sure if that is the reason behind it or if just revamping everyone since he's tweaking the entire VN right now.

This is one of the best games i have played so far. Beautiful renders, characters with with deep personalities and a different storyline captivates you to play this game. One can clearly see the hardwork and time put behind the game.I am sure it will go a loong way and all the very best to the developer. Can't wait for the revamp

Ah so this next update is to be a Revamp. I'm not a fan of Revamp's of something that is already great but oh well guess I'll support this when the story picks back up again.

Better to do any revamping now when it's still in the early stages than once they're several updates in.
I meant the game is great as is no need for a revamp, the dev could just improve the newer updates if you know what I mean. Most devs do this they keep upping the quality as they release updates. I'm concerned is all this is gonna be a slow story so what happens when he decides to up the quality 5 updates down the line. Another Revamp? What I am saying is I have hopes for this and I don't want the dev to kill his own game like many others have by doing things that aren't absolutely necessary, that is all.

Bruh what's with the mc appearance tho? his first appearance wasn't so bad, but the sudden overhaul doesn't look that masculine. he kinda looks like a child, he doesn't have that hot guy perk about him. it'll just be weird seeing girls throwing em selves at him like the dude just aint hot enough for that shit much less cute which is a bonus, he's too average with a child like face. aint no game there. i can't play while he looks like this i think the dev could've done a way better job on the mc. hopefully in the future he'll look more fitting

Where are you getting any of that from? As far as I'm aware, we haven't seen anything with regards to a new appearance for the MC, so how could you possibly know what, if any, changes have been made?

The dev is reworking the game so you might want to try it again once he does. Not sure what of the script will change (if anything) but the first 2 chapters are being tweaked, including the renders.

The idea isn't to remove anything from the original in the revamp tbh. Sure, dialogues change up and stuff, but essentially the scenes are meant to be the same with some new scenes added as well. All relationships will remain the same. I'm kinda anxious about Patreon's restrictions, so I might have players name their relationship with Charlotte in the revamp just to be safe. Patch creation to unlock incest isn't something I know how to do, but could ask other devs about

I'm sort of safe right now I'd imagine cause the MC and Charlotte haven't done anything and there isn't any incestuous relationship implied in the game yet (And there won't be for a while), but still, better safe than sorry.
That's why the way to go... Lots of devs doing that nowadays.

Had about half a dozen windows open looking around and searching the site... You know, going down the rabbit hole and seeing what I could see. Well somebody had a link to this game either in their signature or.. well they had it some damn where.. And I have to say I'm sad.. truly I'm real fricking sad cause I have no idea anymore of who that person was and I can't thank them as they deserve..

EDIT: I found him! It was giggitygigity


I hit this game off of their link and have been playing it for a couple days pretty much nonstop.. Oh occasionally I would get up and run to the bathroom so I wouldn't piss myself.. but for the vast majority of the time I was here.

Sometimes I talk about a game without going into pros and cons.. this game is one of those. 8/10ish and a smile on my face. Now it's time to wait for updates and maybe go down the rabbit hole again.

Big shout out to ChainZero You rock brother.. you rock.

Did Chainzero float out any date for the update? Also, anyone know if the update will just be remasters of the old content, or if new content will also be included?
