Just a couple of points, last time i've taken a look at the Patreon count, it was 46, now it's 62. And it's likely to get to 70 soon, breaking the top 400 list . Finally, the Love this game deserves is coming . My personal fave in this update was the scene after the club, when the Good-Bad Woman breaks down in tears. A Raymond Chandler Classic. Part of my brain is saying "oh, you poor woman " and the other is saying "sheeesh, you're not fooling anyone " .

First Ren'Py game that I've never needed to mash the spacebar/leftclick and skim-read through some boring dialogue sections. This one stays entertaining throughout, enjoying the story, looking forward to where it goes next. Planning on becoming a patron on or near the first of next month.

Oh, and please tell me that the Boss Villain has a wife with massive titties that we'll get a chance with. lol. Just a personal preference.

Many of you may not see this in the next version, but if Stella stays over you will be treated with this lovely shot.
It was fun to play around and see the lighting effects that are possible in IRay. The only post work done was some clean up on a few bits of noise around Stella's face.
I will have a development update most likely Sunday night, but in the meantime, I will say things are progressing nicely.

This looks like it could be from Dreams of Desire. Well done @Philly_Games

Well I decided to push on sites like reddit's /r/lewdgames curious what kind of attraction that will garner. The whole marketing aspect of this is still strange to me.

Now now Thornhill. This and Patreon are my go to, for ever and ever :p I kinda let you know so if you want to post something nice on there go ahead :p
BTW, i'm gonna be out for a few weeks, be back by mid December. So, if you're not seeing me around, chill, i still love your work, just stuff to do. But regarding your comment, you could take some cues from Belle, from "Long live the Princess ", he's got some serious pr skills, like you he likes chilling out here with the gang, but he's been all over the place. Might be worth your while picking his brain about marketing. See you soon, bro !

Just played my first game of this, it looks, sounds and reads amazing. I do enjoy noir detective stories so it was an easy fit I guess. Where others focus on sex and visuals, this looks like it focuses on an actual and sexy story.
Looking forward to more of this and check for replay-ability later

I liked it.
Looking forward to seeing more of Christina and Judy. Mi-do was teased nicely and we start really getting a sense of the various story arcs branching out and really giving me a "Good girl gone bad" vibe (take that as a compliment, that game has the best story line(s) of any game on this site imo).

I like that we get insight into the other characters, not only does it give them more of a personality it also helps the player pick the interaction that corresponds with where they want the story to go.

Now I promised myself that I'd provide some critique as well so here goes:
In the meeting with the player, Judy and Christina, their smiles/teeth felt a little off and once I saw it I couldn't unsee it. I think it's as much the game overall spoiling me, the player, with high quality that a small thing like that stands out a little. That's really it I think. Of course I'd love the animations to include more frames but I get that it is a huge tax on the rendering process.

The strong points are the atmosphere, narrative and renders quality.
The game screams for some "L.A. Noiresque" music as BGM.
Maybe if I should point out something to improve it would be the model of the female villain, as it does not follow the aesthetic line of the rest of the characters, that's subjective I suppose.
Intrigued to know what role the score/lust will play in the story or decisions.

I don't know how I missed this gem, in my opinion one of the best games here.
