Hey guys, welcome to the final dev log before the release of version 0.12!

I've had a very productive couple of weeks, completing a further 400 renders, which brings the total so far up to around 2,000. Meaning this update has already smashed the old record of 1900, and there's a good 200ish yet to go!

I mentioned a few dev logs ago that I'd finished the animation for the update... Well, it turns out that I'd completely forgotten about a rather long animated scene later in the update. So I've also completed a further 30 animations, bringing the total for the update up to 44.

So with all that in mind, I'm now happy to report that I'm nearing the end! I'm currently in the process of rendering the last (extremely long) scene, and then it's on to putting all of the pieces together and making it actually playable. The tentative release date of the 24th that I mentioned previously is now set in stone - barring unforeseen disaster it should be quite a comfortable target to hit.

I must say, now that the release date is growing close, I'm getting pretty excited about this one! The second day in the update (it's a 2 day update this time) is a little shorter, but I struggled picking a preview render for this dev log just because it's so filled with spoilers, and some of them look really good!

In other update related news: In addition to the usual full game downloads that all of the previous updates have been released as, I'm working on putting together a patch version for PC and linux this time, which will mean that (if you want to) you should only need to download the new content and then drop it into your existing files. I haven't done this before so it'll be experimental, but I think it should work fine - I'll be using any of you that choose this option as guinea pigs this time!

And that about does it for this dev log. The next time I speak to you all should be on the 24th with the update release post, so until then, thank you all for your support as always!

Lesbian stuff is just a big turn off for me

...I mean, I guess at least someone, somewhere in the world was bound to feel that way. I won't (reverse) kinkshame, but still... What?

They're the same people who prefer regular oreos over double stuff.

There are people on this side who promote their cuck lifestyle, and you draw the line at people who don't find lesbians hot?

I was going to make a reply as a guinea pig to show that I was happy to be one but then I realized that I don't know what sound guinea pigs make.

Well, there is a difference between "not finding lesbians hot" and "getting seriously turned off by them." To me, the former is not that strange, but the latter, well... I have only ever met one person who felt that way, and she was a die-hard Catholic nutcase. It's just strange to see someone declaring out loud that they find lesbian content to be an outright turn-off. I mean, you know, fine. People can be into or not into whatever they want, as long as it's moderately legal and all that.

...But it's still pretty strange (to me at least) seeing it being declared, that is all.

This time around the designated sound for guinea pig testers is "Reporting for duty!"

Hey, hey now. The worst bit of an oreo is the stuffing, why the hell would I want more of that? If I could buy just the cookies without the grainy sugar artificial mess in the middle I would.

But yeah also don't get the whole lesbians being a turn off thing. Like I don't even watch lez stuff. I can't help but wonder if it comes from some of those weird dudes who are like religious, and so put some random blocks up to still do shit they say they shouldn't but they allow it because they put a random line in the sand, or maybe it's guys who had girls cheat on them with other girls, I could see that leaving a scar.

I can't speak for the other guy, but for me personally, it's not lesbians in general but how forced into "harem" media they've become. Harem is polygamy, but for some reason, people refuse to acknowledge that polyamory and polygamy are different and will reach and make up as many bad faith arguments and excuses as possible just to insert their fetish (lesbian/polyamory/etc.) into said media.

Lesbians on their own? Hot as fuck.

Lesbians made unavoidable in a game that literally advertises itself as polygamy? Not hot at all. (Erm, actually! Just because they eat each other out and make out and are shoving fists inside of each other, it doesn't mean they're lesbian! They could just be doing it for the Mc! It's just a little bit of fun teehee~). Sure, buddy, sure – nice mental gymnastics.

It gets irritating looking for a game or novel of something I like, polygamy, and getting polyamory almost every single time with some guys that have a lesbian/polyamory fetish trying to gaslight me into thinking that I'm the one that's weird for wanting the harem tag to mean actual harem.

It doesn't help that some of the mods are massively problematic and will ban people/remove comments explaining this no matter how politely they're written, power tripping over a pirated game form. Just last week I had a mod remove my posts after a developer lied about a game having lesbian stuff in it, and I was warned for "kinkshaming" when all I did was show in-game images as proof. Like, what?

I know for sure it's not just me who feels this way as you can see the influx of comments asking if Lesbian content will be avoidable, and debating the legitimacy of harem when it's just a lesbian fiesta, especially over the last year.

TLDR: When the hell will the tags be improved on this site.

I look forward to being able to just downloading update files. I wish more devs would do it but I understand it might be a bit more work for them sometimes.

I have no strong feelings about it. If I see lesbians grinding each other there is a certain hottness to it. But less hot than a man having sex with a girl. In a harem game I prefer everything to be about the MC. So if a LI does lesbian stuff it will likely indicate that the girl just "likes to fuck", that she is hyper sexual. That's the actual thing I find offputting. Strongly prefer if the LIs just love to sleep with the MC because they are into him so much - and are otherwise not that sexual.

TLDR: Whores are offputting.

The biggest whores in most porn games are the MCs, tho.

Cosy Cafe MC just has sex because he can't watch his property suffering so much...

 

[Konrad Simon]

My best bet would be that the tag is there simply to appease the "screechy reeeee" types that go off on one whenever a game has so much as two girls kissing during an otherwise completely male-centric threesome. I can respect people wanting to keep the MC as the absolute focus of all the sex, but some people (definitely not referring to you, buddy, just to be clear!) overreact like crazy (literally) about the slightest hint of non-MC sex in games. So that would probably be the reason for the tag.

I'm not the developer though, so I cannot say for certain. I am just guessing here.

-Mal

Yeah, you're probably right. I like having the tags, but there's always the problem of whether the tags are a warning or an enticement. Do you include the "NTR" tag if it is hinted that a LI kissed another guy off screen? If not, you will outrage those who hate NTR. If so, you will disappoint those who like it. The "lesbian" tag is probably the one that most frequently has that problem.
