That's the problem with an expansive cast + several routes. Don't get me wrong, I love the choices to be a good guy or an evil bastard. But the amount of work for a single dev is gonna be exponential as the updates and new characters pile on themselves.

I Think he is one of the best devs on this site definitely top ten

tldr; 1000+ images in the newest build, and 1050+ completed. The new build available to high-tier subs has a few possible endings already completed. But, early reactions from playtesters are indicating people would rather be able to get certain optional content on all play-throughs, so I'm looking at how to do that. Shouldn't be a huge inconvenience, though.

I'm currently finishing up a scene with Risa which I tweaked to add some naughty options.. <_< Once Risa's scenes are completed, I need to do all of Ashe's sex scenes and the endings that result from them, and then we'll be ready for staggered final releases. I'm optimistic about having a Beta version out early next week, but we'll see how it all goes.

This next update sounds like it's going to be pretty big
Especially because there are different paths with the girls & Mason.

For example, Ashe has a friendship path
And lover path (Is that what it's called?)
So, if every girl has two paths.
Well, that sounds very complicated.

I think I can see why some devs go crazy making their games lol
I would never have the patience to make a game.
Neon must have the patience of a saint.

I probably failed to communicate this, but Mason isn't in this next update. He's scheduled to be in the following one.

But yeah, the various paths are a bit much sometimes. :'D I think (hope) people will be impressed by what I've pulled off with Ashe in this most recent one. It's honestly like four different games, depending on how you play. You learn different things, get longer or shorter scenes, and get different options based on past and present choices. It's fun, but I do wish I wasn't limited by only having so many hours in a day.

Yeah, I think I remember you saying Mason won't be in the next update
When I was talking about the girls, I just didn't want to group him with them.
And misgender him

As I've said before, if I ever made one of these the only player choice wouod be read/don't read. I do not have the patience for all that horsing around with 900 variable scenarios per scene in the late game.

I actually like the game, don't mind the choices around Nicki. I mean there's a lot of angles you can play w/ Nicki as an reverse corruption (surprisingly popular/wholesome choice in Japan) or just degrade/corrupt her further.

Keep up the good work, one of the few games I look forward to, don't be afraid to tell the story how you see fit, it makes it far more interesting of a game that way vs most of the vanilla slop we get.

as you know I am monogamous and I hate to cheat

so I believe that any developer that goes out of their way to make sure that you're never forced into anything

like you for example should be absolutely loved and cherished

I just wanted to say thank you for all of your hard work

When you say "a few possible endings already completed" ; you mean endings of the game entire ? Or of certain scenes ?

Endings of the update, the game isn't even close to finished, we still haven't even met the sister. ;)

Yeah, like SlapE said, just possible ends for the update. I'm trying something a little different with this one. Usually the various endings for an update arrive back at the same place. Usually with MC going to bed and reflecting on his day. This one has the possibility to end in four different locations, and with different circumstances in said locations.

So, the following update will basically have different openings based on the choices you make near the end of this one.

Alright, thanks for the answers guys. Now that I think about it, it's pretty obvious you were talking about the update and not the "final" endings.
I shouldn't ask questions when I'm past 4 beers, since I can barely do it sober :D
