Supposed to be this week. But the week is coming to close. Dev may need a bit more time. He's working hard and working alone now. Hopefully He is able to find some rest amid crunch time.

Dear dev, I really liked your game so far, so if you need time, take your time, a game being late is always a lot better than a game being bad..
RomanHume I remember finding your game a fairly long time ago and thought it was pretty good. Then just recently checked out your newest version, and even though it doesn't go as far as the last time I played, the quality and story have improved significantly IMPO.
So just wanted to say keep up the great work man, love your game.... And 4 of the 6 girls currently in game. Looking forward to seeing how things improve in the future.
Cheers

2019-05-27 Update
Well damn. That vacation went by quick! And I just now realize it's been almost fourteen days since the last update. So where are we at?
I did my very best to try and work this update to completion this week. There were some hiccups with the file transitions and I finally had to say "to hell with this" and start reorganizing some of the inherited assets I got when assuming control. A file structure that works for one man may not always work for another. But it's square, and I can find shit promptly when I need it now. So there's that.
But perhaps the worst thing that could have happened, happened. I got inspired. As these characters are oft to do, they started writing themselves, and before I knew it, they were bringing in new characters that enriched the plot in such a way that I could not turn them back at the door.
Next thing I know I had penned an additional 10,000 words of story on top of what was already a fairly complete chapter. That's 10,000 words of dialogue. That does not include the coding that goes around it. That's, I don't know, 1/10th of a novel. Now those 10,000 words are spread across a couple of different possible story paths, so it's not like you'll read it all in a single play through, but it's there. And it's great. And if you read to the end of this post, I've included some of it as a spoiler. (Or maybe not a spoiler as you may avoid this snippet altogether in your playthrough depending on choice).
Now I didn't start counting words until this last week because my new solo development method has me penning story separate from coding. But I estimate there is probably an easy 30 to 40 thousand words in this update. So if you go through and play it a few times and sample all the story paths, that's close to half a novel. Kind of puts into perspective what's taking so long. Cause with all that, goes the code, the path structure and of course a whole heap of pretty pictures.
But the writing is done for this update! I've finalized everything and started packing it into code and there is no room to add more. At the moment, I'm continuing to jam away at the renders. I still have more to make as that additional 10,000+ word enhancement required a new location and a few new previously non-existent characters.
As soon as I'm done jamming on those I can finish the renders for the sex scenes which have been programmed and written, and we can start putting this bundle together and ship it out the door.
I can't thank everyone enough for their patience. I know some have left and I understand the lack the faith. I do. I've been on your side of things before. But know that I have not slowed (in fact I'm working far harder than before), but it's daunting trying to maintain the previously established level of quality on one's own. But I shall not relent!
This story is my baby and she continues to grow in amazing and beautiful ways. And even though I'm hard pressed for time, it is always a pleasure every chance I get to sit down and work on it. So there is certainly no burnout in sight.
I just need to figure out how to convince everyone we should switch to a 32 hour day. This way I can score in a few extra hours of productivity after the "real job blues".
For now, I'm going to keep this update short and sweet like that, and get back to work. Expect communication to be a little sketchy for the next week while I continue to blast away at this. I'm putting aside all other side projects like streaming and such until I get this done. Then we can talk about the future.
Talk to you very soon mates! Cheers!

I don't believe it! There she goes again! She's tidied up, and I can't find anything!

FFS! 5 posts above yours is the last post by RomanHume about the next update. FIVE FUCKING POSTS!
Is it really too much to ask for you to read a few posts of the thread BEFORE you go and ask completely unneccessary questions?
Isn't it the natural thing to do if you want information about a game? Read what is currently the topic in the thread?

Abandoned tag is only for threads with 3 months of radio silence from the dev, this one just had a dev post.
Sorry I seemed to have missed this one. I try to be good about replying to everyone's questions. Just been a crazy busy kind of month.
At the moment I don't have an official android port. The community has been kind enough to provide that for the time being. It's on my list of things to do (creating an official android version), it's just taken a temporary backseat while I sort out this next release.
Cheers mate!
Was supposed to be last week, then I sort of lost my mind and added 10,000 words to the release. So now I'm busting ass putting the art to go with the added content.
Rest assured, every spare moment I've had over the last two weeks has been devoted to this update, and I'll continue to do so until it's ready.
Truly apologize for the delayed response and the delayed release.
Salute.
I appreciate the sentiment, but at the same, this update has taken far too long. I just can't seem to find enough hours in the day to get everything done that I want to. Those damned responsibilities keep encroaching on my productivity. But I'm getting closer with every passing day. As soon as I think I can reliably give an eta, I shall.
But if I don't have it done in the next week or two, I'm a total fucking failure. That's a fact!
Cheers mate!
Thanks, I appreciate the opinion and the encouragement! I am curious though, which two girls are hitting the bottom of your list and why? I'm always fascinated by which combinations of girls people enjoy and their reasons.
Salute mate!
I'm working on putting together a public git repository for the script that people can create forks and make pull requests with corrections. I'll have it up and running after I get this next update finished.
Doing it through git is going to save a ton of time because I'll have the luxury of just previewing the changes and merging them without having to open a ton of files and make corrections line by line.
I'll keep you posted on the progress of that.
Thanks mate!
Real world responsibilities always interfering with inspiration (happens to me all the time) I hate that shit. Time needs a pause button.
