Hope you've all had a good week. Development is going well but there's mountains to do.

Thank you to everyone who did the mini survey. I'm not going to go through it in detail but it did help me (somewhat). It didn't quite help me as much as I hoped because some questions were just so extremely split on opinion. In the end we had just over 300 responses but when I checked at 218 this question was exactly tied and the final results have a lot of questions not too far off this.

It was also pretty split on the colours questions. Usually a small majority for the new colours but only a big majority for one of them. I'll be posting some E4 preview renders in the coming weeks so you'll get a chance to see how things will be looking in E4 but I'm generally going to be trying to make things slightly more colourful and slightly warmer in some scenes without overdoing it.

Anyway - this week and last were important weeks for me because on top of E4 I've spent quite a bit of time trying to future proof everything, especially the 18 main girls. I really, really don't want to do any character edits after E4 so this week was essentially the deadline I set myself to make sure that everyone is exactly how I want them (particularly how they look nude) and ready for all the future content I have planned. So I've spent a lot of time looking at every girl and seeing if anyone have something that needs to improved (like higher resolution skin). I'm now done and fortunately there's very little that I have any desire to change.

Final character edits:

  • Naomi: Updated skin
  • Jordan: Changed some tattoos (right arm especially)
Updated vaginas: Chelsea, Lydia, Ella, Tasha, Ashley, Nina

From now until E21 I have no intention of ever editing a girl outside of her canon life changes (change of hairstyles etc) so I'm very pleased with this week because of that. Working on some of these finer details will make things much more efficient in future and the whole process has been very reassuring to me. Feeling very confident about Elmwood's future scenes.

I was really expecting to change Nina's appearance but despite her being ranked the lowest on looks I didn't. I quite like her appearance and I couldn't find any changes (face/body/hair/skin) that made her look better. I do think she was judged quite harshly in the E2 survey because of her unique/abrasive personality but I like how she looks and I think she looks good in the outfits & scenes that I want her in.

But yeah, I'm very glad to have all that stuff out of the way because I'm very eager to dedicate my full attention to the animations for the next few weeks now that everyone's vagina is exactly how I want it. I'll continue to post outfit previews while I work on the anims and then when I move onto the still renders I'll be able to show you some real renders from E4.

Thanks for all your support, hope you have a great week!

There was a post suggesting the game checks to see if you cheat the skill points. Is this true? Is there any mechanical consequence in the game if you use the Scrappy Mod to bump up skill points?

No, there are no consequences yet.

Hi everyone, just a quick update from me. Development is mostly going well, and I'm making progress. I've been working on some of the more difficult animations this week and while I've run into some issues in places I've managed to solve them relatively quickly. I don't want to talk about specifics (for spoilers) but I'm generally pleased with how things are going quality wise. There are a lot more things that I'm conscious of when doing animations now and I'm really trying to make each episode's animations better than the last. I can't promise they will be better (especially because I'm quite proud of some of the E3some animations) but as with every aspect of Elmwood, I'm striving for continuous improvement and that's my goal.
I have so much to do I don't even really want to think about it but for now I'm just focusing on trying to make the animations as good as I can.
Thanks for your support, hope you have a good week!

just let me have a harem with the twins... im good on everyone else
From what it looks so far, it seems it's not really possible to only get one of the twins, so i think you will get your wish.
Really like both of them and Katie, the rest is negotiable.

Hi everyone, hope you had a good week. A few things to get through:
E4 Progress
My week was fairly busy and I've mostly been focused on the E4 animations which are going well but there's still a lot to do. Apart from animations this week I also refined the designs of some of the extra characters you'll meet in E4 and also spontaneously decided to revamp the main menu. Aside from the little easter egg I think the old main menu looked pretty bland and underwhelming. The text especially. So I've gone for a different look, nothing super interesting but I think it looks much more polished and I'm pretty happy with it.

Android Version (E1-3 Android releasing tomorrow)
Long overdue, it's finally done. It's very, very far from perfect but I just had to get it done so that it's not constantly plaguing me. Pretty much everything works well except for the one big thing that I was worried about - animations. The animations are really really laggy. If your phone is much better than mine then maybe it might be fine - I've only tested it on one phone and the animations did not look good. So I really need to stress this - for the best experience please play Elmwood on pc or mac.
If any of you know of ways I could optimise renpy videos for android then please let me know - I always appreciate advice on things I'm unfamiliar with and I'm very unfamiliar with building for android. I know that there are other android avns which are very well optimised and can play animations efficiently even on lower end devices but I haven't managed to achieve this yet - sorry.
Aside from animations I've managed to make everything else work fairly well. All the menus/interface and even HaremWars seem to not have any issues but if you encounter any bugs then please do let me know. I've done very limited testing on this as I'm trying to just focus on E4. This Android version is basically the exact version of the game as the Bronze E3 release in December. That means there are some minor typos which I'm aware of.
I'll be releasing the Android version tomorrow for all paid members. However, if you were a paid subscriber in December, January or February but aren't anymore and want the Android version then just send me a private message and I'd be happy to give you the download. It was my intention to release the Android version in January so everyone who was subbed around then is absolutely entitled to it.

1 Year Anniversary
Guess what? Yep, Elmwood officially turns 1 year old on the 15th. Truly the most surreal year of my life. It's not been easy by any means but developing Elmwood has been the most incredible decision I've ever made. I wouldn't be able to do it without your support and it is such a privilege for me to have this amazing community supporting me every step of the way. You guys rock.
Thank you for everything and cheers to another great year!
