Hey guys! I spent last week polishing and improving the second half of the episode.
This is the explicitly sexy part of the episode, and I’m currently weaving in some hot new ideas (many suggested by Behbeh and xGrotesq – thanks guys) to make the experience sexier and more vivid. I can’t say much without dropping spoilers, but the improvements are making it much, much hotter.
I got the bulk of it, the most complex part, done last week. I’ve got some more polishing to do (basically the second half of the second half), and also several testers seem to agree that we need to add a small extra “wrap-up” scene at the end where the heroine can, uh, process some of the events from earlier in the episode. IYKWIMAITYD
Our illustrator lovely Victoria is finalising the artwork (which is nearly all implemented, and is looking great in-engine). Last week I also spent some time planning the next episode, White Russian, which is really exciting, and I can’t wait to get started on it!
But wait I must, because I need to finish up this episode and get it out to you ASAP. I’m very excited about this episode now! It was originally intended to be just a kind of filler, to get the story pacing right before jumping into the side quests, but I think we’ve added a cool story event, some good characterisation, and a hot new scenario for our heroine. I’ll continue polishing now, and report back with a release date very Soon™.

Hey guys! I was hoping to complete all the writing last week, but I wasn't able to do so. I've been having problems with a sex scene coming out a little flat and forced (and not in the hot way, forced as in it felt like none of the characters in the scene wanted to go through with it).
Fixing it was complicated a bit by the fact that two testers had told me they really liked a certain vivid part of the scene, so I was loathe to edit it out. I ended up trying to build a slightly different scene around that one vivid moment, but it didn't really work.

The most essential gift for a good writer is a built-in, shockproof, shit detector. –Hemingway

Fuck it, I deleted it (we can always repurpose it for a later scene where it'll fit better). Yesterday I just wrote a different outline for the scene, focused more on the character relationship and the heroine's internal emotional state, and I think it'll be hotter. I'm aiming to get this new version of the scene rewritten today!

Other stuff

• After it's done, I need to write one more coda scene, then go through everything for one last editing pass
• Artwork is nearly all done – lovely Victoria is working on a few last minute changes
• There are a couple of bugs I need to fix
• The secret art experiment is looking good!

Okay, that's it, I'm gonna get back to writing! We're almost there!

And like clockwork, the "Nothing's coming out, I need to rewrite" update for the allegedly almost ready episode. 100 million percent predictable Crush.

 

[vicaddict]

Well, while he does have a history, I believe he has made some progress from the last release to being close to releasing the next one. I don't think we've ever had this much progress in such a short amount of time.

 

[Deniz31]

Contents of this "interlude" episode is a mystery though.

 

[SuperMaxo]

It’s the aftermath of Girls Night Out, or part 2 of it, if you prefer (if I understood correctly)

there was a problem that needed to be addressed.

The problem is that Crush suffers from extreme perfectionism that cripples his writing. Rather than just write the scene and go back to it later, he would rather delay his already behind schedule update rewriting the whole thing from scratch.

An entire update held back because he doesn't like one scene in it. You can't make it up.

But if he released it and then "went back to it later" then people would complain just the same that he's "wasting time" on revising already released content instead of making more. So it's not like doing it this way is making things any worse for him. People who are determined to complain will complain regardless.

anyone has any idea about how to enable the back button ?

TBH I'm all for it I think this game is more than just a quick fap material. I see great passion and hard work. The people who can't wait because the artist wants his creation to be good are being childish.

It is enabled for Patreon build of the game. Internally, it's governed by a variable in the .html file, if you search this thread a few pages back you might find a hint how to set it.

Check new game: https://f95zone.to/threads/deep-in-hollywood-inc-v0-12a-ulysses-games.148209/

It's a newcomer but with good expectations.
Definitely better plot, ideas.

 

[Tallyhoe]

lol he finished the scene then deleted it even though testers like it.

Yeah... But evidentially they are trying to improve. And when they hit it really fucking bangs. Which is why we're all still here.

Can't make it up? GRRM, TWOW, 12 years now.

Probably releases 2nd-ish of April, soon after the billing cycle.

Así que para estar un poco de tu lado con las críticas. Diría que tengo curiosidad por ver la parte con la que no estaba satisfecho y la sacó y la comparé con lo que le gustaba y la reemplazó. De esta manera, las personas pueden determinar si a) en realidad es una mejora b) había un problema que necesitaba ser abordado.

Sin embargo, en la mayoría de los casos, la gente solo querrá una actualización y sacrificará la calidad, y generalmente es el escritor el que se preocupa por ese tipo de cosas de todos modos, la gente solo quiere material divertido y puede hacerlo de cualquier manera, probablemente.

Pero también, si se retrasa 1 semana, no es realmente un gran problema. Me preocuparía si este retraso progresara a 2 o 3 semanas.
[/CITA]
LOL I´m sure will be 2 o 3 weeks, probably one moth

So to be on your side with the criticism a bit. I would say I am curious to see the part he was unsatisfied with and took out and compare it to what he liked and replaced it with. This way people can determine if a) it is actually an improvement b) there was a problem that needed to be addressed.

Though, in most cases people will just want an update and sacrifice quality, and it's usually the writer who cares about those sorts of things anyway, people just want fap material and can fap either way, likely.

But also, if it's delayed 1 week, it's not really a big deal. I'd be worried if this delay progressed into 2 weeks, or 3 weeks.

LOL I´m sure that probably will be 2 or 3 weeks, maybe a month? Bets open!

Hey guys! Last week I rewrote the uncoöperative sex scene. Stripping it down to the basics seemed to work. (I was trying too hard to make it sexy in the original version.) I also wrote a first draft of the 'coda' scene that a few contributors thought the episode needed.
I shared the new version of the episode with a few contributors and got some good feedback. There are still a few tasks on the list before it's ready to release:
– There are some art assets that have been supplied by Victoria but not yet added into the game
– There's some rough text and placeholders that need editing
– Feedback received yesterday from xGrotesq and Behbeh needs to be implemented
– The second half of the episode needs some general editing for pacing and dialogue

These things are all straightforward and typical, the normal pre-flight stuff that needs to happen before the episode can go out the door. Expect it Soon™.

Okay, that's it for now, I'm gonna get straight onto coding in art assets.

"Uncooperative sex", ehh. Is that how they call it nowadays?

 

[Nope]

How does a mini episode that originally wasn't even planned end up taking 2+ months. At this rate she's not gonna be a bargirl in 2023. Crush was legit delusional when he thought he could release an episode a month or he's just figured out it's more profitable not to. Probably the latter.

 

[Riven]

The same way, everything he does takes 3+ months. He is extremely incompetent and faces no consequences regardless how long he takes.

From his previous update:

Yesterday I just wrote a different outline for the scene, focused more on the character relationship and the heroine's internal emotional state, and I think it'll be hotter. I'm aiming to get this new version of the scene rewritten today!

and how it ended?

Last week I rewrote the uncoöperative sex scene.

He apparently also wrote the first draft of a coda scene, but still, something planned for one day took him five?

He never thought he could release an episode per month. He posted it to soften the blow when he announced he will be splitting the august update (after developing it for months) into two parts. And you are right, she won't be a bargirl in 2023, maybe 2024 unless crush decides to work on linking backstory with the current version.
