Yeah we had some rogue code that was cause early termination of the game. We've removed all of it and in the next release everything should be squared away.
If all goes well, we'll have the next round of scenes out Sunday/Monday time frame. If things stay on track.
Also, we understand not everyone can become patrons. Some of us don't have the budget, some of us refuse to do business with Patreon, etc, etc.
But we would like to ask, if you played our story so far and actually liked it, you can help us out by giving a review right here on F95Zone, or even mention us to other players you know. Just spreading the word goes a long way.
However, if you played our game and didn't like it, we ask that if anyone asks you about our game you respond, "Hrm, never played it." and then change the subject to sports or milfs or something. Then send us an email with your complaints and we will invoke dark rituals whose only purpose is to give you back those fifteen minutes of your life that we stole. We'll also give you a heartfelt apology.
Salute friends!

Oh and btw , glad to see that you decided to have pubes on the most of the ladies in the game (big fan of the bush).

I have been wondering a bit @RomanHume ....
Picture 2 (lupita on bed?),9 (Monica naked in the gym) and 12 (Amanda naked at the pool) from page 1 in this thread , are they all from this version and I missed them or are they coming in a later version ?

only amanda picture is on the version if you don't choose the "naked at the pool" sentence but the other one
I think the reason so many devs shy away from it, is because a) quality pubic hair meshes are hard to come by and b) it requires a lot of extra effort to get them to interact properly with the model and any clothing or etc.Oh and btw , glad to see that you decided to have pubes on the most of the ladies in the game (big fan of the bush).

We just looked at it as a challenge and I think so far we're overcoming the obstacles.
Thanks for checking out our game.
Amanda by the pool is the only one of the mentioned images that actually appears in the game.
The other images were test renders we did to play with the characters, the lighting, and to give potential readers an idea of what the models would look like. You can see the entire collection of character images on or website under Character bios.
We also do a number of custom images for our Patrons, some public, some private, that don't appear in the game, but are just great stills of the characters. We don't want to be one of those devs that give you a preview with a fully clothed model or worse, an empty room. We a proud of our choice of characters and our artwork and we want players to enjoy them as well. So that is why you will see many images that do not actually appear in the game.
Unfortunately, we did not start this thread so I do not have the ability to remove the images up there that do not actually appear in the game, so I apologize for the confusion.

I wasn't happy with the transparent text box mod that I made earlier and I improved it in several ways.
- Now the mod will work in most Renpy games with very few exceptions (limitations described in the README).
- Now the mod will not replace any of the original files - this makes the removal of this mod extremely easy, you just have to delete two files (y_outline.rpy and y_outline.rpyc) in the game subfolder.
- Now only the text in the text and name box will get outline, no other text is modified.
- The color of the text in the text box is changed to white and it gets a black 1 pixel outline. White text with a black outline is quite well readable against most backgrounds with some rare exceptions (I've seen one such extreme pattern on the floor of a space ship in the game
- Name box text also gets the same outline as the text box, but the color won't be modified. There is a different color assigned to different characters in some games, so that won't change.
- There is a README file included now with some basic description and instructions about installing and removing this mod.
In case you are already using the previous version of my mod and want to use the new one, then you should delete outline.rpy and outline.rpyc files in your game subfolder.
To install this mod, just download the attachment and extract it into your game root folder (where the game exe is).
To remove it, just delete y_outline.rpy and y_outline.rpyc in the game subfolder.
You can try it in any Renpy games. Please, just let me know about the ones where it does not work or creates problems.
_____________________________
Attachment renewed to v2.1 with a better commented configuration file and improved README file.
Change text box text color to black and outlines to white if most backgrounds in the game are bright. Instruction in the last part of the README file.

Maybe I will support this game next month.
This month my spare money is already spent.
I like the game so far and can't wait to see what will happen in the future.
There are many different characters what can lead to unequal routes with many fetishes/variations, so it shouldn't get boring.
Like Lupita, who is dependent of you, friends of your daughter, which could lead to jealousy, a superior ...
Also characters like Emily act totally different depending on your choices.
I love the branches and hope you can manage them without growing exponentially, so we get enough new content for each branch.

We appreciate you taking the time to check out our story. If you've got a spare moment, give us your honest rating up top and let others know what you think? It would really help us out a lot.Maybe I will support this game next month.

We definitely want each plot line to be unique. Not a simple, I chose her over her, but rather, my experience with her is way different than my experience with her. Managing the choices will indeed be a big challenge, and we knew that going in. But all of that really comes down to two things: clean, compartmentalized code, and smooth dialogue and scene transitions. So as long as we stay cognizant of those two things, it shouldn't get away from us.
We have bigger plans for the beta once we have a clear idea of where everyone's story is going. At that point we'll be able to include intermediate scenes that allow multiple plot lines to cross into each other.
Salute!
I'm having a hard time rating the game at the current state.
I'm very excited how the game goes on and that is definitely positive,
but there isn't enough story to tell you if or how much I'll like it in the end.
The things I saw were very promising and that's why I follow this thread and your homepage.
Some older pictures aren't perfect, but they get better and better and I overall like the renders.
I also love the characters - from what I saw in the dialogues and also they optically match my taste (except Monica's hair, but that is no problem) - and seeing how they evolve is the main reason for beeing excited for the future.
I, for myself, am open minded and also am active in BDSM in real life, so it would be interesting if we see something like a consensual BDSM scene/relation with Nanami. That would nearly be something unique instead of the typical blackmail.
I just hope that, depending on choices, we have many different kind of relations with the girls and not just vanilla relations, but after the intros I'm optimistic concerning that.
Looking at your patreon site I see a post for a version 6.1, 6.4 and 6.5.
Does this mean, that you don't get anything special/extra with higher tier with tier 2 and 3 at the moment?
If this is the case, I would recommend to mention this somewhere so none of your patreons will be disappointed.
What can we expect in the next version?
Will we get a scene with amanda?
Greetings

This is a perfectly valid position and we appreciate you taking the time to explain it!
Absolutely. When we first downloaded Daz last November, we had zero 3D modelling experience. We studied, and continue to study so that we can race around that learning curve. I think we've come a long way in two months just in terms of render quality alone. My man Fecalmancer is going to post up some behind the scenes talk on the blog soon. Just kind of discussing where we were, where we are, and how we got there in terms of render quality.
So none of us have any real BDSM experience, so I won't lie and say that what we have in mind is any kind of real representation of that lifestyle.
But the way we've conceived Roger and Nanami's relationship is what we're calling 'consensually violent'. Violent may be too extreme a term, but basically you have two power hunger people wanting to be the alpha dog. So you'll get to choose, do you let her dominate you? Or do you step up and dominate her? Both will have a dramatically different flavor, but in the end, it is all consensual because at any time Roger can say no and just leave her hanging.
It will start out rather tame at first, but with each new encounter, whoever is in charge is going to try and push the other person just a little bit further and further until something breaks. But in the end, they are both willing egocentric participants.
This is the goal. We don't just want a relationship to be different than the others, we also want it be different from itself depending on your choices. A purely conceptual example is Jane (conceptual because we don't yet know how her whole story will play out.) If you play the nice guy, offering her advice but encouraging her to make her own choices, unlike the other adults in her life, there is the possibility she becomes genuinely attracted to you and starts to invest in you emotionally, maybe even helping her break out of the "bad" girl phase of her life. But, if you play the brash old horn-dog, your relationship is likely just going to be a series of booty calls and dangerous games with no emotional investment and her never taking you seriously.I just hope that, depending on choices, we have many different kind of relations with the girls and not just vanilla relations, but after the intros I'm optimistic concerning that.
We have that kind of duality in mind with each character. We just have to be constantly aware of how it develops, how we manage it, and how it impacts parallel storylines.
It just means that at this time there is no bonus content available at those tiers because the second scenes for those characters haven't been written yet. But they are coming. We hope to have bonus content for all tiers by the end of February.
This is why we are cycling through the characters from tier 5 to tier 1. This way everyone at all tiers gets a steady stream of bonus content at regular intervals. It also means that no matter which patron level you come in at, you're getting equal treatment as the other tiers.
For our patrons, we give them a specific list of what bonus content exists in their version. This way they don't have to download two and compare. Until Nanami and Monica's second scenes were complete, it didn't make sense compiling two additional copies that would have been duplicates of the level 1 version. We also keep our patrons informed of what's coming up, so they know their bonus content is on the way.
We wanted to release Amanda next since her story and Jane's are going to be so closely related, but we missed that deadline and we already had Nanami's scripted. We didn't want to ask our tier 3 patrons to wait another week or two for their bonus scenes when tier 4 already got something out of Jane. So we put Amanda on the back burner for the moment so we can crank out Nanami's next scene and give tier 3 patrons something to be happy about.What can we expect in the next version?
Will we get a scene with amanda?
We will come back to Amanda shortly and work on her between Nanami and Monica.
So next up is Nanami and it's going to be a our biggest yet in terms of choices, impact, and render count. To accommodate the different paths, and bonus content, we are looking at about sixty-six renders. This a considerable jump for us, but it's mostly because we are getting better at Daz and able to build our scenes faster. So we get more content in the same period of time.
We are hoping to drop Nanami's content Monday or Tuesday. It just depends on how long it takes for these two systems to finish burning out the last 52 renders.
Holy shit, that was way wordier than I expected. Sorry about that....
Cheers!
And just a general call out to everyone regarding why we ask for reviews. It helps us. A lot!
I only joke when I say we don't want bad reviews. The truth is, bad reviews are incredibly helpful. Good reviews tell us what we're doing right, bad reviews tell us what we're doing wrong.
And aside from helping us navigate development, having a lot of reviews catches people's attention. The more people we get to try our product, hopefully, the more reviews and the more support we get. So it's part of the on-going development cycle.
We don't want to be those developers who say "This is my vision. If you like it, awesome! If you don't, then my game is not for you."
We want to be the developers who say, "This is what we're thinking...now tell us what you're thinking and let's make something that pleases as many readers as possible. Let's try to get something in there for everyone and make it fun and enjoyable and be of the highest quality possible."
No doubt we have a vision, but right now it's very fluid. In fact, it was right here on F95Zone that someone mentioned the possibility of characters getting pregnant. We NEVER considered that. But wow the possibilities, the drama, the conflict. But we also know some players aren't going to be down with that, which is great, we can write you way through that sand trap if it doesn't interest you.
Tell us what you really think, we're not sensitive, we can take it! And remember, if the next segment sucks, you can always go back up there and change your rating.
As always, thank you for your encouragement! We appreciate you all!
Salute Friends!

100% agreed. This has bothered me for awhile. When we test rendered her alone she looked fine. But next to other characters her pallor is noticable. As we get better with daz we hope to learn how to manage the skin shaders and correct some of that.
Also her knees look almost red in some pics. Gotta figure out how to fix that too.
BDSM stands for Bondage & Discipline (BD), Dominance and Submission (DS) and Sadomasochism (SM) = BD - DS -SM = BDSM.
So BDSM doesn't need to contain Bondage, Discipline or Pain.
It can be all about dominance and submission and what you try to explain/the intro scene is exactly a kind of dominance and subsmission game/relation.
Something like Roger getting whipped doesn't seem to make any sense at the moment, but erotic games about power and dominance seems to be what Nanami is looking for.
So there is much room for teasing, grabbing, manipulating, hot sex and maybe a little bondage.

This is an important part here, especially since there are different kind of relationships between doms and subs. There's master/slave or master/pet, which is basically master/slave, but more loving and caring. When it comes to pleasure it's also not necessarily like this that the dom takes pleasure while the sub only gives, quite often it's the other way around.
