Definitely seems releases have slowed down since the old 3 week release schedules. Think if you can get back to a consistent release date timewise the game should gain popularity. The quality is definitely there.
Thanks for giving our game a shot and letting us know what you think!
Cheers mate.
For sure. But we've also added animations and each scene takes longer and has more dialogue than the old 3 week updates. So there's at least an explanation.
We have some time off coming up over the holidays that we are hoping to use up. If we're lucky, we can use that time to surge ahead in the project and build up some more steam. We've run the numbers and if we can get 600 patrons, we can afford someone on the project full time and that will get us back down to the two to three week release schedule plus all the new enhancements.
Salute mate!

I love that you included your reasoning for each wardrobe choice. It feels like we're not just voting on a character model, we're weighing in on her personality as well.
I'll also say that I find the leanness slightly improbable, but certainly not worth the effort of redoing the character model for.
Speaking of Lupita, I'm hoping the story, at some point, includes setting up a college fund or something for her son. With her personality and the work she puts in to taking care of her son, that kid will go far if he's given a chance.

Thank you! We enjoy coming up with these little mini stories that tie into the decision being made in the poll.
We don't want the poll to be just about "What is sexier?" Except for Cassie's bathing suit of course. But a person's choice of dress does say something about their personality and values. And while this poll won't change Lupita's major drives or story, it will subtly alter her approach to work. It provides us with some little character details that we can use to add more depth and color to her dialogue and personality.
Regarding her model there has been a lot of talk today about her fitness. Because most of the pictures we've done of her nude have been very close up, this is the first time we've shown so much of her skin.
We are debating amongst ourselves whether or not to do a poll on her curves. We've heard people say she's fine as is, some say she needs more curves, other have said more curves on bottom, less on top.
If, and we haven't committed to it yet, we do a poll, they won't be major changes to the character, just alterations to her hip and breasts within reason. Everything else about her, the skin, face, etc would remain the same. We'll continue to debate and see where we land.
Oh, and to touch on something else you said, yes, her son will factor into the story. She's a big part of her life and how Roger helps or hinders the kid will very much influence how she relates to Roger.
We like to make sure that if we mention it somewhere in discussion or a backstory, that it's relevant to the story. Same with Jane's parents, Amanda's Dad, Emily's clients, etc. If we spend time talking about it, we'll make sure it's relevant and not just filler. That's what good writers do! It's how good stories are constructed.
Cheers mate!
Correct me if I'm wrong. It seems to me that this is a major rework from 0.9. I played that version and remember that it seemed to be a little longer and many of the scenes were different, especially the pool scene and the voyeur scene was completely new. Not a complaint just a surprise. I actually like the new look a lot and think it sets things up in a much better way. Also the number of NPC's are significantly fewer with this version, only 5 right now as opposed to about 8 or 9.
Edit: That would explain why almost all of my old saves didn't work.

Yeppers.
The devs looked at what they wrought and decided "This shall not stand!"
So, they did a radical restart from chapter 1. Improved graphics, subtle and not-so-subtle character changes and what, hopefully, will be a smart and sexy redo.

I think it was a good move on their part. The 3 girls are much more interesting now and the way the pool scene is handled is way better yet still carries the "dare" edge to it but using a different approach by getting Jane involved in the dare, which really suits her. It's easy to get involved with each of them as more than just a conquest. I think the office and Nanami content was pretty much that same which was very good before the rewrite.
Edit: I neither like nor dislike animation in these games and really don't feel it adds a lot to games. It does however add development time, add to the size of the file and tends to add play time especially if you can't click through it. It is nice if done properly and not having to click through several images to get it so if you want to put animation in do it properly and not using the one image at a time method.

I would have to agree they did the pool scene much better and just the three girls in general i look forward to more jane and cassie as well as the other one whose name i can't remember at the moment
That would be Amanda and right now she is my fave with Jane and Cassie close behind.

Mine would have to be Cassie but i like all three so it will be hard having to pick just one
We're pleased you agree and that you enjoy the new version. We continue to learn more about Daz and Renpy, but have taken a "Holy Vow" to only employ those new skills that will not disrupt what we are doing now and to save everything else for the next game. Otherwise we'll never escape the temptation to keep restarting in favor of improvement.
I know I'm 1000% happier with this version and I feel it better reflects the quality and continuity that we were aiming for originally. We just didn't know everything we needed to at that time. If we stay on this path, I'll be happy with the final product and look forward to the next game being even better.
Thanks for the positive feedback! Patrons voted on whose story we'll focus on for the next couple of releases and Jane was the winner. We're going to wrap up Monica this week and begin working immediately on Jane's renders. I look forward to your thoughts on Jane's story.
Personally Amanda is my darling. I mean, I helped design all the girls, so I have a vested attraction to all of them. But Amanda is my sweet heart. I only hope readers choose to treat her as well as I do. :angel:

Cassie would have to be mt favorite of the three but i need to ask what is the diffrence between the blue and red choices like do they lead to diffrent scenes since im assuming you will get to bang all three regardless or is it just the dialogue they change. I played both routes and didn't really see a change
So if you check out the walkthrough, you'll see that each character has two attributes. Each one is tied to Blue and Red choices. Think of blue as the more "gentlemanly/nice guy approach" while the red is more "rakish / opportunist".
Your choices are cumulative, so selecting a lot of blue will lead you down one path, selecting red will lead you down another. (If you replay the intro with Nanami, pick all blue, then replay and pick all red, and you'll see a different follow up scene).
So using Jane as an example, if you pick predominately blue, you'll be working to break through the bad girl routine and help her straighten her life out. You'll still get romance out of the deal, but it will be more heartfelt.
But if you pick mostly red, then you walk with Jane a little ways down her path to self destruction and ride her wave of chaos to some kind of end.
There will be points along the way where you can "switch tracks" so you aren't completely locked in to one path or another. So even if you are on one path, blue or red, there will be chances to switch over.

Makes sense i suppose i will likely go blue for my first playthrough once she has some more content same with the other two.
I sort of figured that out but at first I didn't understand it. So my choices tended toward the red for the introduction and blue after that until I hit the point where the UI came into play. I need to replay and with the SVP, forget his name, make sure I go red cuz at some point I want to rip his heart out. I find that that situation reflects what people in corporate power positions are like a lot of the time, worthless, manipulative and egotistic.
