With a pause in developing a new chapter, I can focus on cleaning up little things in the art, that I've never had the time to do properly. Viola still has her skin clipping through her shirt in some places, and that was like.. Six releases ago. :/

Speaking of fixing old things, did you get around to fixing the plot holes with Brittani's photos?

Quick question, is this game has the option the name your saves?
Click to expand...
Not sure but I find it easier to just name the Page instead of saves as most games want you to re input the name and it gets annoying. Just incase you didn't know that was a thing took me a while to find that one out.

Yeahhh, this is one of those things where I want to do it right, or not at all. Just writing and doing the art takes a ton of time, so adding one more thing to the pile would just further slow development time. I mean, it took me a full day just to plug in 250 images, test a build, and blah blah blah.. Imagine if I had to add music and sound, too! ;_;

But, it'll get there eventually.



On this: a lot of the corruption paths start off as dark paths, including Gabby and Ashe's. Gabby will have the opportunity to pursue more of a nice/FWB sugarbaby path later, but for now it's kind of locked to the dark path. Likewise, Ashe's blackmail/corruption path begins as a pretty dubcon scenario. I'd like to try addressing this by basically splitting those early interactions into two paths: a dark one and a lighter one.

So, maybe instead of just punish-fucking Ashe as hard as he can, MC actually tries to make it good for her, too. She might leave still pissed at him, but now a little intrigued. Instead of coercing Gabby into giving him a handjob, maybe he eases into things with some reluctant making out and heavy petting.

I've been trying to be a little more cognizant of this as I go through later chapters, giving players the opportunity to be a little dark, without going whole hog. Paying Viola to strip and masturbate, strip-searching Pepper for "valid" reasons, etc.



Nope, we've got one more chapter to go, and then the remake.

I totally get that it's annoying, and I understand why people would've wanted me to get into the remake earlier. But, I'm trying to get the story to a good cliffhanger ending, before I pull back and redo Chapter One. I want people to play this next one and feel hyped for what's coming -- enough so that they don't mind me moving backwards for a bit.

For anyone wondering why I need to redo the first chapter, there's a few reasons.
  • I don't think that first chapter is very strong, or indicative of what the game/story becomes, and reviews tend to bear that out.
  • I learned how to code in Ren'py while making this game, and it shows. I'll be able to do things like move all the variables into well-ordered groups, remove and add certain variables that'd make keep track of relationship dynamics easier, and break up the chapters into individual .rpy files, to keep better track of them.
  • With a pause in developing a new chapter, I can focus on cleaning up little things in the art, that I've never had the time to do properly. Viola still has her skin clipping through her shirt in some places, and that was like.. Six releases ago. :/
I get that it's frustrating, but I've put out seven releases at a pretty good pace, so hopefully folks can forgive me while I take some time to catch my breath, and work on some stuff that's been bugging me for the last two years.

Yeah, I personally play music in the BG when I'm playing these games, so sound is never in my priority list as a player. I'm 1000% satisfied with the writing and renders. But I look forward to seeing what you do with the audio on yours when the time comes! :D

Also, learned a new term: 'dubcon'
Interesting.. lol

Late to this game but the Brittani corruption/humiliation path scene is one of the hottest scenes ever. Getting to show her what she will have to do to realize her dreams while cucking her annoying boyfriend was great. Hopefully we get to have many more shoots with her and persuade her that porn might be the best career path for her.

Well it depends, if you're into romance you aren't going to be romancing all the girls at the same time at a certain point at least, once things get more serious and they start wanting commitment. However, Neon has mentioned in the past about plans to do a 'corruption' harem ending, it won't be one based on the foundation of love, but one created with the girls based on the promise of wealth, power, security, fame, and/or luxury.

If you're fine with that kind of harem then, perhaps you would enjoy it, however even on the more loving/romantic side of things, there will be poly relationships that will be possible. These would likely include both open relationships, where you'll be able to date multiple girls and they'll be fine with it, or possible polyamorous relationships where you will be in a three-way/four-way relationship with multiple women at the same time. (These poly relationships could possibly include Mason too, figured it was worth mentioning since I kept saying girls/women) :p

Who knows for sure how all these relationships will develop and play out, only time will tell. It's an amazing game anyways and definitely worth checking out. ;)

No corruption route HAREM for me if it's not love/affection then it's no use to use the money and power to get all women.but overall GREAT VN i played the latest update looking forward to upcoming updates.;)(y)

Woah Joshy calm down, at least wait until you can find an alley or something nearby, think about the kids who might be shopping with their parents. :ROFLMAO:

Also knowing you Joshy I doubt you would want to Ravish him, I don't think you're fully aware of what that word means. :oops:

I just looked it up apparently it means rape. I always thought it meant to make love too
I certainly don't want to hurt Mason.
I want to make love to him all night long

Still technically counts as a definition, in the same way that "make me with child" is still recognizable as "get me pregnant".

That's an archaic definition... It can also mean to fill with intense delight.

Yeah but I never see anyone use Ravish in that context, hell to be honest I never see or hear anyone use the word ever unless it's in the form of dirty talk. :sneaky:
