Quick update:
RustyV just handed off to me an essentially complete story element that he's been hammering away at as his limited free time allows, including the pic below:
This pic could be for anything... 'Dee' imagining her mom as an evil bitch maybe, or maybe a Game of Thrones nod? You'll just have to wait and see what this is all about.
There are almost 400 pics associated with this particular story element, and I'll still need some minor stuff to go along with this (side images for the text manly), and it's an impressive amount of work. I was waiting patiently of course, as I was eagerly anticipating this particular story element.
Anyways, it's going to take me some time to incorporate this into the game build, and there's still a few more renders that I need to crank out on my end, but we are in the home stretch. I also run all of the .pngs through Photoshop and work them while converting them to a more efficient .jpg format (which will help cut down on download size). So I'll be rather busy processing all of this stuff over the next couple of weeks...
Rusty V has one more story element he's starting work on, but to quote my wishes: 'keep it short and sweet!'. It's a minor story element at best, but a fun place to show off our sillier side!
I also swapped in a sig banner for FmF into my sig!
Early XMas present? We shall see... it's mostly all on me now...

Quick progress report...
The above render is barely in FmF, and doesn't really have anything significant to do with the story, but I don't want to spoil anything (else) and it shows off the derriere of 'Dee' nicely, so yeah...
Anyways, I continue to slowly pull everything into the FmF game build, and RustyV has taken what I've incorporated so far into the build for a test drive on his end and pointed out issues and such for me to address while I'm coding.
We have been discussing things back and forth more or less constantly since March, so at this point it's been more 'bug hunting' than anything at this point. And also figuring out where more renders might be needed to improve the story flow.
It's a bit more complicated than that, as RustyV has given me a couple of 'test builds' that showcase story sections that he had been working on, which I essentially am cutting and pasting into the FmF build and then tracking down inconsistencies/errors and making suggestions on how to better streamline them into the main story.
I'm still hoping for a Holiday release, but the days are winding down and we don't want to half-ass this, so knock on wood!
R.E. offers to help:
A couple of you have offered assistance regarding FmF. Note that this is a 'free' release. We may have a 'donate if you like this and want to support future art efforts' option on RustyV's end, but FmF itself is to be a 100% free release, as it's a parody of sorts.
Also, I want to have Part 1 out before we start thinking about such things. Some help might be useful for Parts 2 and 3 as real life has us both rather busy atm, and I did promise my Enthralled fans that I'd resume working on Enthralled Pt 4 after FmF Pt 1 is released, so there will be a bit of a lull before Part 2...
I might be able to use some help with the end scenes of Enthralled Pt 4, but I don't know yet... kind of hoping to have solved my 'want a new GPU' issue by then, but one thing at a time.
Anyways, for those that want to help with future installments, with the understanding that no money will be involved/it's a 100% volunteer effort, PM me after Part 1 is released, assuming that you like our silly game at that point and still want to help with stuff that might take RustyV and a while to get to... I'm thinking that there may be a handful of quick renders here and there that might be needed, and also there's one rather involved scene in particular in Part 3 where I'm fairly concerned about our current hardware limitations and how to pull those off...
Several people have requested my .duf files for 'Dee', 'Elle' and 'Jen'. I'll share these after Part 1 is released, in case anyone might want to do FmF related fanart, or use them in DMD fanart or whatever...
Other than that,
RustyV and I are pretty happy with what we've come up with so far, but of course we are biased. I will say that for people that are into games with a more serious tone, this WON'T be the game for you. It's not a 100% comedy, but it does have a number of comedic elements and silly nods to pop culture and such, and at we have included nods to at least one other game.
Anyways, life is short, and we like to spread joy when we can!
We do appreciate all of the positive comments sent our way so far, and very much appreciate your continued patience.
Back to the grind, well after some rest!

Yes, there is an option at the start of the game (when it is released of course) to use the default names, or choose your own names for 'Dee', 'Elle', and 'Jen', with the names in quotes here being the default names.
'Brayden', who you will also be able to rename, is the default name for Dee's Father, mainly because Brayden Bareback plays him...
Dee, as shown above and in Enthralled, is not the same 'Dee' that is in FmF, just sharing this image so that you know where Brayden's name comes from (I was going for a porn star name). I've redialed/fine-tuned 'Dee' for FmF, the derriere in particular as I wanted to better re-create the one from the game that we are parodying.
Note that 'F' doesn't show up until the tail end of Part 2 though!
This story focuses a LOT on Dee, Elle and Jen, it's not just about Dee. But it's mostly told from their perspective, although we do have a few scenes in the story that they aren't in...
Note that the dialogue boxes have side images instead of the names spelled out above the dialogue text. We did this for two reasons. 1) It's redundant to have both the side image and the name and 2) to free up more vertical screen space to look at the images on the screen/maximize the view. So the names are mainly only used IN the dialogue, i.e. when a character is referring to another character.
I've also included a 'show/hide' button mainly for touchscreen users that may not have the 'h' key handy to hide/show dialogue. Not sure how many people will be playing this on a tablet, but hopefully this will be useful to them, and also for people who might not want to have to use the keyboard at a particular moment just to hide the dialogue box.
Here's an quick screenshot I did earlier, I redid this image though as Rachael's overlapping teddy looked weird:
The 'eye' symbol at the lower right is the button to show/hide the dialogue and menu when using your mouse or a touch screen. The back arrow button at the lower left allows you to do a 'hard' roll back, say if you hit a choice menu but missed the question because you were clicking through the story fairly quickly...
One other note. I moved the in-game choice menus to the bottom of the screen, for essentially the same reason, i.e. not obstucting the view. Also, because when I play Renpy games, I generally click the screen with my mouse pointer just above the dialogue box (so that it doesn't block the text view) and have rollback enabled, so when I'm rapidfire clicking, I often end up accidentally clicking a menu choice in those games. By placing the choice menus in the same spot as the dialogue box, this helps me personally avoid this issue. Hopefully this will be helpful to others...
Here's the point in the intro where you will be given the option to go with custom or default names:
We're pretty excited about getting this thing out the door finally, but we aren't QUITE there yet. Soon, hopefully in time for the Holidays...

Just a quick update:
The above render isn't for FmF, but I was feeling a bit anxious about something, so I did this render to help me relax a bit. It all turned out OK, so no worries...
Anyways, the build is coming together nicely. I'm having a few issues with cutting and pasting code into new files for the game build, but I'm hammering through it as needed. RustyV is continuing to help render stuff to cover a few 'loose ends' and the build seems to be working pretty well. I'm about to make a backup just in case...
I went ahead and enabled Renpy Console in the build, so that you won't need to run unren.bat. That didn't seem to work anyways for some reason, not sure why. There are only three variables being tracked that will affect the story flow currently, but it makes my life easier when checking story forks and such...
I'm feeling a bit more optimistic about a holiday release for Part 1, but until it's actually done, well knock on wood!

Part 1 may be just around the corner!
At this point, I'm mostly doing just 'fill in' renders to help the story flow, and am tackling a 'closing' erotic scene as well. RustyV is working on one last story element from his end, and one other story element is being worked on.
I also have some 'framework' stuff that I work on as the mood strikes, this is mostly side image related, as well as finding and adding interesting music and sound clips as needed. RustyV has done a nice job here as well, he's found a number of sound clips to enhance his story elements, which is very helpful.
I cannot emphasize enough how much work RustyV has put into this. While the script and game framework is a mutual effort, a LOT of the renders that are in Part 1 are his work, well over half of them as I've said, so he definitely will deserve a lot of kudos!
Unfortunately, due to the 'fill in the blanks' nature of where we are at right now, it wouldn't make sense to release a test build, so your continued patience is very much appreciated. We are still shooting for a release to coincide with the upcoming holidays, but I don't want to 'rush' anything. We are very close, but not quite there yet.
I'm really excited to share what everyone has come up with, but like y'all I just have to be a little more patient, until a complete Part 1 release is ready for prime time.
----
Now would be a very good time to set expectations.
What I CAN say is that Part 1 takes place in a 'winter holidays' setting, which will be oddly appropriate since it's releasing over said holidays. We aren't just limiting ourselves to 'real world' stuff, i.e. some dreaming may be involved. This allows us to explore our artistic whims, some of the renders shared earlier in this thread may give you a clue or two...
Also, we haven't forgotten Rachael in Part 1 by any means. She has her own story element going on. It won't be the same Rachael that you may have become accustomed to though, we've reworked her backstory a bit.
For those wondering about continuity with the game we are parodying, yeah let's just say 'our story, our rules' and leave it at that. since Parts 2 and 3 will wrap up the story on the same day that 'Dee' meets her Father for the first time, we were already going in a different direction anyways.
As to whether our humor/silliness will be appreciated or not, that remains to be seen. We aren't 'disrespecting' the characters and backstory by any means, but since backstories were not really fleshed out anyways, we have a lot of room here. But we do like to keep things 'lighter' when we can.
There will be a few cameos as nods to other games. We're silly that way.
All characters as depicted are 18 or older as of the telling of this story. As noted, 'Elle' and 'Jen' now look a bit more appropriate to their age. Nothing against 'implied loli', but there will be none of that in this story. RustyV compliments me regularly with how nicely I've dialed in 'Elle' and 'Jen', as have others. All I can say is thanks very much for the kudos regarding that!
As for incest, well FmF DOES stand for Fucking my Father, so that should go without saying... as to how much of that is going on, let's just say that if incest turns you off, this is NOT the game for you. Since we are releasing this game for free, exclusively here on F95Zone, we have absolutely no need for landladies and tenants! Of course, 'Dee' may not be getting in on that until Part 3, as for others... well that'd be *spoilers* so you'll just have to wait and see...
We will be introducing a few new faces as well. You've already seen a few pics of Cousin Amy, there's another character that may spark some interest, I guess we'll see if I'm the only one that cares about wanting to see more of her. Again, *spoilers*, not going there.
As for when Parts 2 and 3 might be done, I do not have any answers for you at this time. Let's get Part 1 across the finish line first. Then, Rusty V and I both have other projects we need to work on before returning to FmF. Neither of us wants to put off Parts 2 and 3 for say years, but it will be a number of months.
----
Anyways, yeah not too much longer for Part 1. Your well wishes are very much appreciated in the meantime!

Absolutely the best choice in cars....Just a quick update...
RustyV and I have been finalizing the script over the last couple of days and continue to hammer away at rendering the pics we will need for the story. We've been focused on fleshing out various aspects of the story, and my goal is to achieve 'script lock' this week. We have a number of story elements planned...
Quite a few renders are already banked, but we need more for various parts of the story of course.
The render above may be seemingly unrelated, but it's a WIP for a particular scene in the story. That's Coco's 'Cuda btw, some of you may recognize it from my crossover comic. Jen (or whatever you choose to name her) is attending Vanaheim U in our story, hence the shuttle bus being labeled as such. I like how this test render turned out, and look forward to adding a few minor details (read: characters) to this particular scene.
I wanted to mention again that this story will be focused on all three girls, with associated stories incorporated into the backstory section of FmF. This ties in with the 'script bloat' comment made in an earlier post. The cute cheerleader in the selfie above is one of these story elements. We will be introducing several new characters into FmF, which will appear at various points in the lead up to the 'big day'. Other characters will be making appearances as well...
So expect plot twists involving each of our three intrepid Heroines, some of these will depend on various choices you make as the story progresses...
Anyways, so yeah script lock this week, then a mad dash to the finish line is the plan. We have about six weeks to work with, but time flies when you are having fun...
I'm getting excited!

Quick update y'all!
First off, Happy Holidays!
The above render was just for fun, along the Holiday Spirit lines. That's my take on Caroline from Milfy City at the left, spending some quality time with Graham and Olivia, or Liv as I like to call her...
In the 'source material', Graham and Olivia don't show up until after the 'Big Day', but we may have a thought or two about that as it relates to Part 3.
Anyways, I just handed off another test build to RustyV . The two of us have been rendering like madmen when our time allows, and when stuff isn't crashing (I just had a crash earlier today!). We still have a bit more to go, so no 'early XMas' present. We both want to have this thing ready before the New Year, but aren't going to rush things. So knock on wood, wish upon a star, whatever superstition you may feel is appropriate.
I'm really liking how one of the scenes I have been working on for the last few days came together, but I still need to do a few more renders for that scene. It involves multiple characters, which really slows down the render times, and means that I have to do the renders for this part of the scene in two passes, which is a bit of a pain. Still, I think that most of you will like how that scene will shake out, as there is sex involved.
We are trying to keep the blueballing to a minimum in FmF!
BTW, expect a Lesbian tag when we finally release this. I'll need to go through the list of tags so that I can request the right ones. Off the top of my head, Incest, Sex, Incest, Lesbian Sex, Incest, lots of nudity, more Incest, did I mention that there will be incest?
No Loli though! We made Jen and Elle look 18 for a reason! Also, no NTR planned, unless you mean New Titty Rings... maybe some of those eventually. This is told from the girl's perspectives mostly, so they do what they want!
That's about it. Happy Holidays everyone, and it won't be much longer now!

looks like Dee is going to work, and guess F is still pretending to be a photographer and earning little, so Dee goes out to pay the bills..... but she enjoys entertaining the clients all the same. Naughty DeeQuick progress report...
The above render is barely in FmF, and doesn't really have anything significant to do with the story, but I don't want to spoil anything (else) and it shows off the derriere of 'Dee' nicely, so yeah...
Anyways, I continue to slowly pull everything into the FmF game build, and RustyV has taken what I've incorporated so far into the build for a test drive on his end and pointed out issues and such for me to address while I'm coding.

Some help might be useful for Parts 2 and 3 as real life has us both rather busy atm, and I did promise my Enthralled fans that I'd resume working on Enthralled Pt 4 after FmF Pt 1 is released, so there will be a bit of a lull before Part 2...
I might be able to use some help with the end scenes of Enthralled Pt 4, but I don't know yet... kind of hoping to have solved my 'want a new GPU' issue by then, but one thing at a time.
Anyways, for those that want to help with future installments, with the understanding that no money will be involved/it's a 100% volunteer effort, PM me after Part 1 is released, assuming that you like our silly game at that point and still want to help with stuff that might take RustyV and a while to get to... I'm thinking that there may be a handful of quick renders here and there that might be needed, and also there's one rather involved scene in particular in Part 3 where I'm fairly concerned about our current hardware limitations and how to pull those off...
Several people have requested my .duf files for 'Dee', 'Elle' and 'Jen'. I'll share these after Part 1 is released, in case anyone might want to do FmF related fanart, or use them in DMD fanart or whatever...
Other than that,
RustyV and I are pretty happy with what we've come up with so far, but of course we are biased. I will say that for people that are into games with a more serious tone, this WON'T be the game for you. It's not a 100% comedy, but it does have a number of comedic elements and silly nods to pop culture and such, and at we have included nods to at least one other game.
Anyways, life is short, and we like to spread joy when we can!
We do appreciate all of the positive comments sent our way so far, and very much appreciate your continued patience.
Back to the grind, well after some rest!
Would like to see a front view of the image, but maybe when you have time, never enough time these days
Keep at it guys, we all know these things take time and loads of effort, and i expect a release early 2022 and forget Holiday time.

JonasSnr ,
A late 2021 release is not off of the table yet. If it slips into very early 2022, 'cest la vie!
Mini Update time:
I'm not going to bother with another teaser image, this update is very short.
We have a playtester going through our current build. A handful of things are still not ready, but most of the elements are there. We are chasing down typos, and making minor image corrections and such as needed, and making slight adjustments to the story flow here and there, but we ARE close!
His response has been very positive overall (typos and such aside), but of course we won't really know how we did until we release this thing into the wild. Some will like it, some will hate it, but hopefully most of you will appreciate our silliness!
We may snip off the very end of Part 1 and move it to Part 2, as that part was kind of anticlimatic after where the story had went. I've put together a build to test that theory, and the three of us will take it for a spin and then see how we feel about that.
I could go on, but I promised to keep this short.
REALLY SOON!

Props to you guys who took the “if you don’t like it, go make your own game” to the bank.
renders looks great! Hoping to see grandpa and Rachel action…? How big is the project going to be? (Estimated Playtime for each part and how many parts?)

Hmmm...
Well, we won't be 'banking' anything except for kudos maybe. This project is being released for free, I'd say exclusively here on F95Zone, but yeah give it a few hours for the other sharing sites to find it... Usually within 48 hours games and comics posted here end up all over the place.
I've tracked this sharing behavior several times with Enthralled and another project that I provide a bit of assistance on, A New Beginning by JJsworld . So yeah. But it'll be released here first, and here you can actually talk to the developers and maybe we will respond with some witticism or some such!
I won't spoil anything for you, except for say that I'm not a fan of long drawn out teases over multiple updates. Life is too short! Also, Rachael fans will either like our take on her or will hunt me/us down with pitchforks, just sayin'...
I should probably emphasize the whole 'alternate timeline thing' again. While we do try to keep the 'source material' in mind, we are going our own way with this.
As for how long Part 1 takes to play/read, well that depends on how quickly you advance through the dialogue and if you use the tab key... There's a lot of fun going on in the dialogue though, so I'm guessing that most people will at least attempt to read it.
Since there are a several forks in this story, I will say that some forks take longer to work through than others. One fork in particular is fairly involved (RustyV outdid himself with that one, I helped too of course, I think it's really cool but we'll see what y'all think...). Probably not more than an hour or so to do a runthrough of Part 1? Parts 2 and 3 I don't know yet, Part 2 is a few months away until release in any case.
BTW, beware of easter eggs! Well, that sounds waaaaay more ominous than it actually is, but there are a number of them, this being a parody and all...
Also, ideal save points are being called out, so that you can go back to those points and explore the 'what ifs' r.e. other story paths. I expect that a good chunk of you will want to do this, and I'll explain more about the 'break points' once everyone has FmF in their own hands and has done at least one playthrough. This will make more sense when you see it.
Anyways, most of my story elements are now 'in the bag' so I'm waiting on one other story element and a few final renders for two other story elements from the other guys. Just a few more renders on my end, and then I can focus exclusively on loose ends (read: more side images with different expressions), then hopefully the other guys can go back through and swap out the side image expressions I have in place now for ones that better fit the dialogue at various points.
We are getting really close now... I'm working my tail off to see if we can make it by the 31st, we'll see...

What I meant was "take it to heart" but didn't remember the phrase so I made something up. xDHmmm...

FmF Part 1 - The Theatrical Cut is live!
(finally!)
See OP for Mega download link, hopefully an uploader jumps on making mirrors and such soon (I already reported the OP with relevant info/requested that this thread get moved to Games).
RustyV deserves a lot of love for Part 1. A vast majority of the renders in Part 1 are his!
Over 750 images in total between the two of us, and also BigRooster contributed a few pics and helped playtest earlier builds!
Enjoy!
Edit: Note to those that might want a 'compressed' version. I already saved most of the images as optimized .jpgs, so I'm not sure there's much to be gained from further optimization. The download size is @425MB-ish, so that shouldn't take too long to download as is. Also, if someone should want to do a version for a non-Windows OS, and share it with the class, I'm sure that it will be appreciated!
