(Cassie) Daddy?
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
I may be among the weirdest pervs on the planet, but I'm utterly mesmerized by Cassie's stare… for me it's the most prominent feature of the render even surpassing Jane's behind. I am sorry, my wonderful free spirited Jane, but it seems my totem finally revealed herself to me. :love:

As always, nice work Atherin!

Hey man, you've done a good job especially with no specific blueprint or guidance. Some people just like to nitpick.

And again I appreciate how original and refreshing this game is. I've been enjoying it quite a bit.
Thanks! I look forward to bringing you more soon!

He! You could've easily switched The Ugly for The Weird and detailed most of DAZ's and Nvidia's fuckupery under the latter. Why they made using the dedicated card one set up ones rig with into an ordeal way more complicated than fooling around with autoexec.bat and config.sys (to load every driver possible into the upper and high memory areas so Wing Commander would've access to nearly the full 640k of system RAM) is way beyond me.

Can't wait for 2021! And Lupita. Keep it up!
Ah Wing Commander....my child hood...with everyone's favorite little mechanic/pornstar...

Sorry! What were you saying?



Hmm, I wonder if this is happening to me as well, I noticed renders taking 15-20m to finish instead of my regular 5-10m on my 3080. I'll have to look at it today and see what's going on.

edit: I solved my particular issue, Octane render (which I just recently installed) apparently doesn't support the RTX 30 series yet, and disables GPU rendering. So with that uninstalled, my renders are now back to 3-5minutes for a full render..
Yeah unfortunately I never used/tried/installed Octane. So my issue is buried somewhere else. :cautious:

So I played the alternate paths and I have to say again how impressive this game is. The renders are of course great, but the different dialogue and content in the paths you can take are very convincing. I'm primarily interested in Cassie and her friends, and their storylines have been fantastic so far - the slow corruption especially. It's a great option to be able to turn down the LI's we might not be interested in. Also love that you can customize the nicknames that each character uses! Haven't seen that before, and surprised more devs don't do that. Keep up the good work RomanHume!
Really appreciate the feedback mate! My goal was to make the game I wanted to play. No forced kinks. No forced LI's, and a lot of dialogue choices that actually influence the story without you ever having to worry about that "GAME OVER" screen. I never want players to feel punished for their choices in the game. Just rewarded in different ways.

Hopefully I'll have quite a bit more to bring you very soon! Cheers!

Is the love path of every girl interesting? Or is just talking?
I hope that in time it will be interesting. Based on player feedback there is a sense that the red path is receiving a lot more attention than the blue, so as I'm writing new scenes I'm trying to stay aware of this and balance them out a bit more. The blue path will still feature copious amounts of sex, but built on a deeper relationship with the characters in most cases.

The balance of paths is such an interesting conversation.

Usually the paths are defined by concept that the developer choose for those. In this case seems like a more grounded, long-term relationship by being a decent guy (Blue option) or by living the moment, being more bold and rash with words, leading to more casual and open relantionships (Red option). That's only my perception, and i may be wrong.

The problem usually happens when by trying to do something that is truly meaningful, the players are "punished" to have less spicy scenarios, wholesome scenes, or just the lewd progression is delayed for the sake of build-up in comparison of the other path, when you have the same talented writer doing the spicy thing that you wanted in other paths.
At the end of the game, is common if the game has for example 2 planned routes, if one is some kind of "romantic", "good-guy" or just even "respectful", that usually will have 25% (In most cases lest) of the lewd content just because in the same time-line, the action started way too late just because it needs build-up and then the game just ended because the other path just done everything
(And most cases, the game ends at the same point of the timeline, no matter which path).

At this point anyone might think that i want the opposite, but that's not it. I love the long term and interesting stories that unfold by a talented writer. I think myself a fan of stories that are driven by characters instead of scenarios, so that's why the maningful and deep relationship (Not always have to be romantic) attracts me the most and usually I end up realizing that it wasn't the focus at all.

One way to reward players that want that kind of content, is just by being loyal to the characters and let them grow with the story, a LI migh be shy and submissive if a path push her in a direction; in other path she can grow in a different way and lead to scenarios where she is more proactive because she is comfier and more confident. The limit is the talent of the writer, and by just doing that you can have the same amount of content, being as hot as the other path and even mantaining the traits of that characters that led you to that point.

I think this game does this very well, you can recognize a character no matter which path you choose, and have a huge divergence of how they interact with the MC (That's why i'm torn with this year and this game), but i, as well, recognize that if you played one side, will end with hotter / more scenes.

I'm glad to read that the dev is aware and open minded with the feedback, love the eventual streams and see that his direction align so much with my tastes. So hoping for the best and eager for the 2.0

Don't get me wrong, i love the blue path and i'am not asking for more sex right now, the dialogs between every character are excellent, and the way you built every character to be singular is superb, i just wanted to know if down the path we'll see sex scenes or the MC is just a "father/friend" for most of them.

it's nice to see the dev take such an active role on these forums for a change, but is there any estimate on the next update? it's been almost a full year since the last one. i have to hope that a LOT of new content will be released with it, at least for the patrons' sakes.

My goal has always been to have equal amounts of "spicy" content for both the Red and Blue paths, they'd just be weighted at different points in the story. I've since shifted my mind set a little and I'm working to ensure that the "spicy" stuff happens about the same time for both paths.

I may never have been published but I've been writing long enough to know that anything is possible in a story. The trick is to develop believable scenarios that make the events seem natural and organic. I have to work a little bit of extra magic and think a bit harder to "speed" up the pace of the blue path, but it's not impossible and I hope this next Cassie chapter will be a testimony to how it can be done.

Cassie's will be the first story where things happen at the same time on the red and blue paths, but in slightly different ways that color the two different types of relationships accordingly. As long as I know who the characters are along each path, it should be possible to develop these two paths in tandem going forward.

Don't get me wrong, i love the blue path and i'am not asking for more sex right now, the dialogs between every character are excellent, and the way you built every character to be singular is superb, i just wanted to know if down the path we'll see sex scenes or the MC is just a "father/friend" for most of them.
No the father/friend route is the "Black" path. If you select the few black choices available in the game, you'll bypass the relationship content and pretty much just act in a father/friend/whatever capacity. Black = No Sex. Everything else will feature equal amounts of sex when it's all said and done.

I am getting so getting visited by the sexual harassment panda because of her.
And you'll probably end up paying child support for a kid that isn't even yours...sorry mate.

One of them won't be even mine (not that I care, I have no problem with adopting kids, I might end up doing in real life too). The other one I will make sure it is, as I will exploit the adult scene menu you created to make sure she gets pregnant!

I don't like to give eta's because every time I do I miss the target. Sometimes by a day, sometimes by a week or more. I suck at it because I always think I can get more done in a period of time than I can.

Without going into the "why it's taken so long" (we've covered here and other places, mostly covid and coding.), I can say that Cassie's next update is rounding out at around 21k words and 586 images completed to date (not including alternate game modes). Cassie's chapter will also have three sex scenes, one with the wife and two with Cassie and both Cassie sex scenes are playable in a single playthrough!

All I have to really finish with the Cassie chapters are the sex scenes which I'm working on now offline because patrons and viewers expressed a desire for me to not stream that content and keep it fresh for the first time they see it.

So while I finish the Cassie content offline I've been streaming work on the next chapter in Lupita's story. My hope is that I can continue this pace through the holidays and going forward. I've pretty much taken the month off of work to focus on the game (the real job is slow this time of year with different folks taking trips). So December is my first chance to get a feel for what it'd be like to work on the game full time.

So far it's great because I'm working on two characters simultaneously and releasing a completed scene for playtesting almost weekly.

All that said, I'm hoping Cassie will be done soon. I'm flying through her remaining renders and as long as I don't spend too much time posing for the sex scenes, we'll get to experience her very soon!

Cheers mate!

I just meant that she has one kid already and if she sues you, then you're paying for that kids college.

Thought I better throw that out there before everyone jumps up my ass about Lupita cheating on you and having a baby that isn't yours. I was talking about her existing kid. Jesus, calm down people!

I understood precisely that. But I see no reason why MC cannot adopt the kid altogether.

Mmmm unless the nasty motherfucker thinks he himself is the protagonist in an adult visual novel, in which he would try to fuck his new stepsister! Then, I would adopt the kid just to fucking murder him, nobody touches my baby Cassie in my watch, or any of her friends! Need to think how to make it look like an accident. Something painful, but quiet.

Emm that escalated quickly :ROFLMAO:
