I had the other one installed and thought something was wrong when the content of this seemed different. But it's explained that this is a rebuild just had to do a little bit of reading here in the forums as that's what they're for.

Anyway I like this new version, seems like it will be more focus on story and narrative while giving us the opportunity to get into some adult situations later so I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes. Keep up the good work guys.
We appreciate you giving our game a go and glad that you've enjoyed it thus far. You are correct in observing that this build is more focused on story and cohesion. When we initially released the game we had only a vague idea of what the story was about and what tied it all together. In the months we spent putting together the alpha, things started to take on a more solid structure. So we felt the timing was right to do the re-writes before we got too deep.

So on the downside, the next couple of releases will be material you're familiar with, but on the upside, we are expanding all of those scenes and increasing the visuals exponentially. Not just in quantity but in quality as well. We're also tightening up the dialogue, providing more dialogue options, and doing a stronger job with characterization. Our hope is that even if the material is familiar, it will be more enjoyable.

We are of course keeping the menu whereby you select different romances based on your interest, it was just important for us to force the Nanami narrative first because it sets the rest of the story in motion.

In any case, thanks again for your feedback! Cheers mate!

I sit at home pleasuring myself in the dark, listening the The Cure, cutting my thighs and jerking off all the while thinking about how much you don't know about the development of our game. Shit that gave me chills. Guess I'll go sharpen that butter knife. Daddy's going to the rodeo!
Sounds like more work than you put into the last update....too soon?

Dude, you're KILLIN IT lately! :FeelsGoodMan:
It's never anything personal with me. It's just been a long day. And here I am at 10:30 trying to put in a few hours into this game after spending a grueling 10 at the real job and I gotta suffer comments from ungrateful people. Even I hit my limit on occasion. =D

Hey, I'm not complaining! I, as a dirty pirate, appreciate the time and effort you put into your game, and into interacting with us non-paying dirty pirates. I also know how to read, so I wasn't surprised when you went into beta and slashed the previous content to redo it. Because, you know, that's what you said you were going to do.

Some people don't know how to read. Don't let their braying get you down.

Honestly, what I said had nothing to do with what your plans were. Just the way you said in your comments sounded like you were calling your supporters a bunch of fools. But I assumed you were trying to take a stab at dry humor, so I returned with some dry humor of my own. Thats why I ended it in, too soon? Not that it matters much since I'm not a patreon.

And I completely respect and appreciate that. And I've pirated games before, I know people will pirate this one, and that's just part of the environment we're in. I can accept that because if I didn't I'd be the worst kind of hypocrite. But I've had about all I can take of lazy posters not doing any kind of research before shit talking me and my team like we were put on this earth to provide them free entertainment in a timely fashion. We have real lives and we're busting out 60+ hour work weeks over here so that lazy cocksuckers can log in and tell us we aren't working hard enough.

Now if they were patrons that would be different. We've taken money from our patrons and to us that creates a very real obligation on our part. But we seem to be doing good by them as the only real complaints are coming from random nobodies that I haven't seen in this forum for the duration of our stay here.

Bleh, sorry, I'm rambling. I appreciate your response though. Good to know I'm not alienating everyone! And it doesn't bring us down or anything. I just might start biting back a little more. Politely, and sarcastically.

In fact I'm posting between test renders of the new pool scene. I think we're up to like 16 or 17 dialogue choices with actual one on one time with each of the girls throughout. So it's turning into a much bigger scene than it was. We're excited about that at least.

Salute mate!

No worries mate. It was absolutely dry humor. Anyone who has spent any time around this forum knows we are constantly communicating with our players, patrons and non-patrons. We have been 100% transparent every step of the way. And those months when were weren't producing anything, we were still providing updates.

And it doesn't matter to us if you're a patron or not. We take feedback from everyone because in the end it leads us to a better product. If you pirate our game, play it, and come back with something that makes it better, that is a sort of payment in and of itself. Or if you just give us kudos and let us know we're doing good, or what we could have done better, we eat it up.

But lately we've gotten a bunch of shit from people we've never heard from before basically complaining that we aren't working hard enough and we kind of hit a limit with it. I didn't initially read your comment as humor until your follow-up, then I got it. We've just been getting hit with so much venom lately that sometimes obscures our understanding.

Cheers mate and thanks for the communication!

I'm a patron. I liked your original product (which is, duh, why I became a patron). I like your new version of the project (which is why I am still a patron). I miss some of the characters from the early development (can you say Lupita), so I am eager for you to press on.

In the interim, just like the other developers I support, I do the following:

- play other games
- chat on Discord
- eat, sleep, live my life

Complaining about an in-development game (porn or otherwise) is not only silly, it's unproductive.

Unless, of course, that is what people consider "living their lives". Then, the label would be more unsavory.

Constructive criticism is a valuable tool for all people looking to grow in life. Understanding the difference from plain bitching would improve comment forums across the internet.

I'll say this: the confusion around this release shows something I see a lot of people getting wrong: communicating succinctly. Scores of game developers write a page about how their new game has custom art developed by a Brazilian painter for the posters in their office, how their open-world gameplay revolves around the rich world of Fantasyville that they've retreated to since they were 9, and how their license for RPGmaker Pro 9 Evolve lets them create engaging and state-of-the-art gameplay that's up to the brim with analytics so they have a great feel for how many white suburban moms killed the first seven rats - but - what players actually read is "4 maps, sequel to an earlier game, shoot-em-up, 70% thumbs up, updated last year".

@RomanHume does communication better than 95% of developers here, and not just by virtue of doing it in the first place, but they communicate in 5 different channels, so messages are bound to get lost (where's your Facebook page, anyway?). That's why I believe naming is useful, and not just for games, but releases as well - it lets you convey implicit unavoidable information.

Annnnd, back with another update. Since they've "rebooted" they've been very forthcoming with communication, so, here's a bit more for you to peruse...

Weekly Update 2018-07-29
Patrons only

Happy Sunday Friends.
Another productive week come and gone.

Not much new to report. Still just hard at work putting together the extended pool scene. Still don't have a final render count, but the total is climbing fast.

The new extended scene will include 17 dialogue choices to drive the evolution of your relationship with each of the three teenage girls. While we had originally hoped to include more than a single scene with our next release, work on this one has proven to be a big deal.

Then of course we stepped back and realized that given the size, complexity and number of characters involved, it was really the equivalent of three scenes wrapped up into one, so we stopped beating ourselves up over it.

On another note, we've always stressed that visual quality is one of our ongoing areas of improvement. To that end, we've discovered some great tools we've purchased and installed to ratchet that up a notch.

Mostly utilities to improve the look and quality of skin textures. Since there is going to be a lot of skin in this game, we figured it was a worthy investment. For most of the wide angle shots, the improvements will be marginal. But for the up-close images, the quality improvement is amazing! We look forward to demonstrating it very soon.

That's it for now my friends. I know it's very light, but we're continuing to grind and by the next update we should have a speculative release date lined up. Not much longer.



Oh, and look for the teaser scene from the next update coming in the next day or so. We promise to make it a good one!

Is there any walkthrough for this game?
Probably not for the current version since it's so short. Maybe later, as the story develops.

If there is one, I hope they follow the style of 'Dating my Daughter' and just list the effects/outcomes of each choice, rather than deciding for you.

The content with the daughter was removed at some point, correct? If so, is there a code or a patch to restore it? Asking for a friend.
No. You can play the old version which I believe you can download from Patreon, or wait until the new version gets caught up to the old version.
