"completing the arcs of all 4 bar girls and finishing the bar quest" turns into a "beta hardlock"...
Do I have to understand that?
I got that hardlock after properly setting up the studio lighting and camera. Catherine keeps telling me I got something wrong. The only possibility is that I selected the wrong softbox (there are two), but that can no longer be changed.

Probably

Probably a cock stopper jk unsure what beta hardlock is got stopped after that maybe moolah plans to release a patch to "Unlock" this beta hardlock and progress to the "Alpha" unsure what its purpose is but maybe undeveloped scenes or unfinished codings either way gotta have wait for announcement.

Was Moon event in this version? I tried before doing the photoshoot (a saturday) but didn't find it. I thought it would be open after the photoshoot however Moonlah decided to do an untasteful prank.

Well, the bar girls were not the content I was rooting for, but I am very much in favor of meaty and focused updates. Sounds good.

you know what I fucking love in this kind of games? Vague bullshit puzzles that takes forever to do or 1990s era japanese flash filling the bars minigame all leading to a fucking beta hardlocked stuck scene that you can't even back out of. Know your audience, if you want to make a fucking regular game go make it, dont insert all this garbage that nobody wants

Deviant Anomalies 0.7 Release Announcement
Helllllooaaaa Peeepo! This week we have something real to be grateful for! 0.7 is here!!!
Yes. Very nice. Please refer to the image above for the dates you can expect to play it for your tier.
I am pretty happy because we have accomplished some nice things for this update.


First thing I'm excited about is the new lewd mechanics I've added. This time I've tried to be really creative and push the boundaries of what is usually done in renpy visual novels. I've added some interesting stuff like split screen animations as well as a dynamic mechanic! This means no more boring one click animation VN lewds, but rather an organic gameplay where animations/facial expressions will change in real time! I'm quite proud of it as it is something really unique and special. It took a lot of work in terms of coding and animations for various poses/states/positions but I think it's well worth it. I've also added sounds for one of the scenes! So definitely looking forward to feedback on the sounds as well.

Will it work? I don't know but hey, that's the whole point of making an indie game as a solo dev right? You wanna try new things! Why make another game that will blend into the thousands out there. Really brings back some joy to working on the game again. I really enjoyed it.



I've also managed to wrap up the bar arc and throw in a bit more backstory stuff. I think we're really starting to get somewhere here. I know consistency is an issue but this is my first game and I'm learning as we go. To think I literally knew nothing when I first started to what we have built now, I think we have come a long way.

I know the game is still very disjointed but once we wrap up all the remaining arcs and close up the first chapter, well, I think we can start to see more coherence in mechanics and story structure etc etc. One step at a time!



Thirdly, I am also very happy with the cross promotions. Doing promos with other devs has been great! Look out for more game recommendations and check em out!

Okay, there's really nothing more left to say but to wait for responses. I am already getting started on the SOL case for the next update while working on the release so much more to do and be excited for.

Once again, thanks you all patrons for helping make my dream come true. Especially all those that have been here since day one. My goal is to finish a game that will make you guys proud! It's always a risk to back a brand new dev with 0 patrons but I think you won't regret it. We will finish a big complex game with hours of playtime for all to enjoy when all is said and done.

I have a cross promo scheduled with a major established developer (watch out for it next few days. Can you guess who it is?) and it has really inspired me that one day I can make such good games and achieve that level of success too!

Hope you all have a wonderful week ahead.

Much Love

Moolah Milk!
So, the last picture in the patreon post shows the photo scene. Now, you get beta hardlocked before you can reach it. That's what's fucking stupid, TideT
