Working on it every day for 8+ hours!

It's become longer than Chapter 1, and some parts are more complicated, but I'm getting fairly close to the end! Once it releases, I'll be writing up a post about why this chapter took longer than expected, why it's longer, and why I couldn't release it in halves (which I intend to do for future chapters to shorten the release cycle).
Nevermind....just take your time and make it awesome ;) (y)

Edit: pff papa beat me to it :ROFLMAO:

Lost me at helpless protagonist. Which is a shame because I really liked the concept. But the idea of a evil all powerful organization that is always watching and doesn't want her to fuck prevents me from focuesing on the actual porn. Girl buy a gun, call the cops, or join the military. Damn, so few games with futa protags... sighs.

I did address why she feels she can't report it, and there's a lot to still find out about who these mysterious people are and what their motivations might be. At any rate, I think you'll be surprised by the direction it ends up going and hope you give it another shot in the future.

I'm guessing this is abandoned... I mean if it take 6 or more months to update it.... you might as well give up on updates. :ROFLMAO:

If not, to the dev, just release what you've created. We don't need some virtuistic update.... we just want the content :ROFLMAO:
Or maybe take a few minutes out your day and read what is posted? The update is going to be double the size of previous updates.

6 months or more, there are some that have taken over a year, there are some that take 6-8 months and get 5 minutes of content....

Updates :coffee:

v0.06.0 Progress Update (TL;DR, 85% completed)


Hi all!

For those not on Patreon or in the Discord, just want to give a quick update on the progress towards the next major update, v0.06.0!

I am approximately 85% completed with this update, and am currently working on writing and rendering of the last big sequence of Chapter 2, which is titled "Entangled". The finish line is in sight, but I don't have concrete dates to announce just yet. Stay tuned, I hope to be able to set a calendar date ASAP! As always, the update will be released here publicly two weeks after its release on Patreon.

I also wanted to take a second to talk about the pricing strategy moving forward. Currently, the game is available here for free. At some point, I plan to start introducing gradual price increases (to start at a very modest $1.00 USD, increasing with time and/or major updates). This game will eventually release on Steam (I hope), but in the meanwhile, this project is quite an undertaking and I want to make sure that I am working towards a place where I can justly place a value on my own effort and time. That said, I want to make sure that everyone can feel like they're getting content of value in return, so that transition to a modest initial cost will come when I feel I've earned the community's full trust in the product. When that will be is to be determined.

Thank you for your continued support, and you'll be hearing news about v0.06.0 soon!

It's a bigger update and I work on it 6+ hours every day. I'm not going to release something unpolished, and there's a reason why I couldn't release this chapter in halves this time, but I plan to do that moving forward. If you want a game that rapidly spits out unsatisfying content, there are plenty of other options.

As a publisher myself, I too tolerate requests for a sequel and updates and appreciate suggestions, but when it's just nag, nag, nag with nothing new, it irritates me and delays my work.

Impatient people deserve some payback, don't you think?

You may or may not include this in your game, but go ahead and enjoy the thought of it anyway.

Some straight guy is complaining, whiney, demanding to your MC, but always having a boner and trying to hide it unsuccessfuly. The MC and her friends decide to put the guy in his place. They tie him up and force him to deepthroat one large epnis after another. Skip and pause buttons not work. No way to escape the torture. He's then forced to do rimjobs. After that some hot wax torture on his epnis while getting his ballz kicked and punched. At the end, they all eurin8 all over him and let him go. Let that be a lesson to selfish demanding men impatient and impossible to please.

The MC then has some quality intimate times with her friends and strangers who really care about each other.
Lots of quality orgasms taking their time as it should be.


Relax Tessa, your work is appreciated. Hope this makes you feel better.

I'll pass on that scene being in the game (lol), but I appreciate the support.
That said, I can sympathize somewhat. The norm is for games to either be abandoned or for content updates to be bare-boned, and that has fostered a fairly cynical culture around talking about the pace and scope of VN project development. I can hardly blame them, because 90% of the time, that cynical attitude is justifiable. I can just do my best to communicate where I am and what I'm doing (without spoiling things) and release content that I feel raises the bar for what can be expected from major updates.

I've added a public post to my Patreon discussing the release of v0.06.0!


I'm duplicating it here, for convenience:

~

First and foremost: v0.06.0 will be releasing in August. The specific date will be communicated as soon as I feel like there's a specific target I can hit.

I feel confident in saying it's coming this upcoming month, at this point. For reference, I announced v0.04's release date four days before it released. I'd expect a similar span here.

Some rapid-fire thoughts:

- You'll notice the bright green cells. That was the original amount of content I thought v0.06 would have (500 images, about 15,000 words). The final amount of content is essentially double that (950 images, 30,000 words). You can see the update log above for all the changes.

- I've said this before, but after its release I'll discuss why this doubled, why I didn't release it in halves, and how future updates will be delivered in smaller, more frequent chunks. I can't discuss it yet because of story spoilers!

- So what's left? About 65 more images to create, final color grading, implementing music/SFX (most has been identified and custom music has already been composed, but need to code it in), wrapping up the various systems (puzzles and UI), a couple animations (2 or 3, depending on time), and final polishing/testing. There's nothing really left that is an unknown in terms of the level of effort needed to complete it. Maybe the music/SFX, but that should only take a few days to do, fingers crossed.

- I'll be making a few changes to the tiers on Patreon, in order to make sure I deliver bonus content on a regular schedule. Stay tuned for that!

- I'll be posting soon with the preliminary patron list that will be included in the game's main menu. As with the last update's list, you are free to opt out or change your displayed name. Anyone with an identifiable name will be shortened to be unidentifiable. For example, "Isaac Asimov" would be shortened to "Isaac A".

an idea for the puzzles.
it'd be neat if you could lock in specific sections (areas divided by solid black lines), before you reset so that you can keep squares you know are in a specific configuration when you want to reset the rest of the board.
