Quick FYI: up to all $2+ patrons, a few hours early.

And I'm currently scrambling to get a couple of extra, smaller scenes into the game in time for the public release on Friday. Because apparently I can't resist being a dumbass and making more work for myself.
does smaller scenes mean H-scenes or just CGs?

Hey! I do have plans for that on Gabby’s negative alignment paths. Minor spoilers ahead:

Fingers crossed it's a Gabby h-scene :D
Sadly, no.. But Gabby already has quite a lot of content in the update. She’ll be largely absent in Chapter Four, but Chapter Five will be a big one for her.

Personally, the character I connected the most was Ash. Are you planning to create an option for the MC to develop his relationship with her (or any other characters) even further in terms of love, having the power to choose a steady and good path with a single character rather than multiple ones?

I'm going to do my best with this, though it presents a bit of a writing challenge.. At present, every girl after Nicki has the option to pursue a friendship/neutral/non-sex route. With Gabby that means not making a move on her at her house and opting for a friendly hug at the end of the night. With Ashe that means either parting company at the bar, or taking her back to your place and not trying to get her into bed. Nicki also gets a chance to reset her relationship in Chapter Three, allowing you to just be friends with her. And I try to actually put content on those routes, letting you learn things about the girls that they might tell a friend, but not a potential boyfriend. My goal there is to let people only pursue one girl, while still having a fun friendship storyline with the other girls.

So, if you want to date Ashe, just be friendly with Gabby and Nicki, and focus your efforts on her. You'll get less sex content, but you'll still have stuff to do.

But for right now, I'm keeping it as more of a harem game, where you can date individual girls, without any of them trying to lock you down. This is just to help me set up multiple girls, without the MC immediately getting mired in a relationship. That said, I definitely want to have more romantic/date content with the girls in the future. We get a little of that in Chapter Three, with Gabby helping MC with his shopping. And minor spoilers, but in Chapter Four MC finally gets that hot tub he told Ashe about..

Eventually I'd like to make the players make a choice, with girls able to figure out if you're cheating/demanding an exclusive relationship. I think CheekyGimp did this really well in Where the Heart Is. But, honestly I'd probably save the mandatory monogamy for closer to the end-game. I'm already writing paths for girls that lead them to good, neutral, evil, or corruption, adding extra modifiers in there could quickly get unwieldy, if I had to maintain them across multiple chapters.

Yes! Planning to launch it over the weekend.

I don’t know what I’ll use it for exactly yet, but it should be a nice way to share little odds and ends that don’t fit on the Patreon.

Thanks for your interest. :D
Is it gonna be public? i'm not a patron(yet :ROFLMAO: ) but i'd be interested in joining.

I’m still goofing with the integration into Patreon, but I’d like to have a public channel for general discussion/suggestions/feedback, and keep the rest private.

Again though, I’m not even sure what I’ll even do with it, yet. :’D I’m pretty accessible via Patreon and these forums, and I don’t want to neglect my Patreon for Discord. So I’m not sure what use I’ll really have for a Discord, besides the occasional bit of art.

Maybe I’ll use it to distribute some of the text-only games I’ve made, that nobody’s ever seen.. That could be fun.

Will the sister also have good/evil/something-in-between paths? Wonder how that will work...

Her paths may differ slightly, just due to the relationship, and the personality I have planned for her. I want to approach their relationship in a way that feels real, which doesn't necessarily lend itself to the way a lot of initial interactions in FiN go.

Wonderful news! That's, uh... mainly the character I was talking about for reasons you may be able to guess, haha. Not sure how people react to that kink here, so gotta maintain plausible deniability. Anyways, thanks! :D

This is also great news! Are you planning something maybe closer to naughtyroad's Light of My Life, where the relationship has much more build up? Well, perhaps not quite as much... 4/5 chapters is maybe too much, I think lol. But, honestly, if you are, I think that's really good... there's plenty of other characters with instant gratification content, so it wouldn't affect the pacing in a bad way; there's also too much wincest content on this site that just goes right into it and takes away all the fun build up from the taboo nature of it, which I personally think runs counter to the kink itself. Regardless of your plans, I have confidence you'll make it good, especially since yours will have an evil patch :devilish: Also, off topic, but I'm crossing my fingers that when naughtyroad finishes LoML, he'll release the assets so someone can make a dark path. That'd be great

Hey, hey! The Chapter 3 Beta is for the public.

3h053.png

"But Neon, you said the final version would be out today."

Well, bummer of bummers, I was called into my day job for mandatory overtime. Soooo, hang tight and I'll have the final version up tomorrow. My PC is currently running renders to complete a late scene addition. But, this version features a bunch of corrected art for Chapter Two, fixed some images that were broken in the script, and so on and so forth. It's very much a complete, working version of the game. But, I don't want to call it the final version, until it has all the content I'd like to have in there. Spoilers for what's being added:

Hah! There's a reason I brought up Gabby's ex's proclivities so early.. Evil MC may have ideas. :censored:

I'll definitely move a little quicker than Light of My Life. I try to be cognizant of the fact that I'm making porn, and people come with certain expectations. I'd expect it to be similar to Gabby's current arc, in terms of pacing. A little early content, then a little escalation, followed by a plateau, culminating in a big event.

This "3.1" version corrects several pieces of art that had broken links, fixes a handful of typos, replaces Nicki's appearance at the end of Chapter Two with new art, and generally just cleans things up a bit.

But, I'm still working on rendering the last dozen or so images I need for a couple of late scene additions, so I'm holding off on calling this a true "public/complete" version right now. Still, it's 99.9% there, so have fun!


Also, I reduced all the image files' quality by 5%, which meant a 50% reduction in overall file size. So, you should have much quicker downloads, now. I couldn't notice any visible difference in quality while I was playing it, and I usually have a hyper-critical eye for that stuff.

That's all! Have fun, and let me know if you find any bugs or broken images! I'm aware that there's still some clipping issues I need to fix (particularly with Viola), but I'll knock that out while I'm doing some other stuff.
