Dev Update #50

Just now

Hi everyone, work is going well but I'm extremely busy with tonnes to do so I'll try to keep this brief.
E4 is progressing well but I need to tell you that I'm still a long way from completion and this will be the slowest of the 3 updates I'm aiming to release this year. E4 is going to be quite a big step in a number of ways which are causing development to take longer than E3. You might assume that I'm talking about branching choices and pathing here but that's actually not the case at all. E4 is going to be quite a big chapter in terms of story progression especially and this means you'll meet a lot of new characters who are going to be quite important to things going forward.

There are a lot of things I'm having to create for E4 for the first time which are slowing me down now but won't slow down future episodes. I don't want to give any spoilers but I'm sure a lot of you will guess that the one faction of students who have been referenced a lot but are currently unseen will sooner or later make an appearance. So there's been a lot of time spent here on character design, outfits, and story cohesion. On top of these characters I also of course spent some time a couple of weeks ago future proofing all the main 18 girls so that I wouldn't need to change them again in future. I'm really pleased with how all characters are looking and I'll probably show you E4 Naomi soon - she's the only one who's had non-minor changes.
But all this combined with some of the extra things I'm trying to do with renders and animations to improve overall quality has meant that I am behind where I want to be at this stage. I wanted to use this dev update to manage expectations of where I am. I'm still working on the animations and will hopefully start powering through the still renders in a couple of weeks. This is going to be the most important update so far and so there are just a lot of things I need to work on.
But I don't want you to think updates are going to get slower every episode - this isn't really the case it's just that E4 involves a lot of first time content (e.g. meeting some characters for the first time, gameplay features for the first time etc.) Weirdly E4 actually has a lot in common with E1.

So it's kinda strange - I can't give you an estimate for E4 but I can give you an estimate for E6 (still end of this year, in line with my target of 3 eps in 2025). I'm working hard to develop E4,5 & 6 to as high a quality as possible rather than just delivering E4 as fast as possible. I hope this makes sense.

Thank you for your continued support and all the Elmwood birthday wishes :)

Let's work backwards assuming 4 months development time each for Ep 5 and 6:
Ep 6 - December 2025
Ep 5 - September 2025
Ep 4 - May 2025 ?

so, about 10 weeks additional dev time for ep 4 would seem reasonable given the target timetable. However, this is pretty aggressive ... so I'd wager February 2026 for Ep 6, October for Ep 5, and June for Ep 4.

What's twin patch does?
Two of the girl used to be twins, but the dev got spooked by Patreon so it got changed in later releases to them simply being look a likes or doppelgangers. The patch changes them back to actually being related and twins

patreon's stupidity knows no bounds. And I say this as someone that hates incest.

Strange fact is that I never noticed. I played the original version of the game and I thought that they are obviously twins. And them saying "she is my doppelganger" is weird joke between twin sisters.
Obviously they are weird twins who finish each other sentences so weird jokes are expected. LOL

Hi everyone, super quick update:

Production is going well but for reasons I explained last week this will be the slowest of the 3 updates this year. But because of those reasons - things are looking really good and I'm pleased with what's in the works. Still working on animations but they're going well and also very happy with what I'm learning in the process. I try to be more ambitious with animations each episode and in E4 I'm trying to create longer, more detailed animations than E3 but we'll see how they turn out. Should finish off the animations for good within the next two weeks and then I'll be going all out with the still renders.

I'm behind where I want to be but trying to catch up. Thank you so much for your continued support and I hope you have a good week.

Naomi's had the biggest change going into E4. Here's a preview of her new look and the outfits she'll be wearing.
I like it. She wasn't one of my favourites, but that's mostly personality/character. The looks weren't favourites either though, and she's at least got one improvement now :LOL:

Hi everyone, quick update:

Work is going well and I had a lot of fun (after a lot of frustration) this week. I don't want to talk about it in much detail while it's still a work in progress but I'm quite proud of a small, secret thing I managed to make a lot of progress on these last few days. I essentially managed to make a (very basic and short) animation of something that's pretty difficult to animate in Daz3D. Might end up looking terrible and I might scrap it completely but right now I'm really excited for it and if it does look good then it will be a really nice little extra animation detail I can use in E4 and in future for a few select girls in particular.

But yeah, animations are going well - one super difficult one that's trying to use the secret thing above (might fail and turn into still renders), then several more standard ones and then I'll be working on the main still renders. Sorry that I can't share more details but I don't want to spoil anything or promise something too early and then have to cut it. But I'm having lots of fun right now and I'm really excited for E4. Hope you have a great week and thank you for your continued support!​
