Just blew past the 80 milestone for images in the game, have about a half dozen small animations, nothing 30FPS (yet). Lots more story to go before things are perfect, but it's an incredible start. Loving the work Fingers crossed ya'll do too!

Wait, is that my boy Fleta? You know, Overwatch League MVP 2020 and the Shanghai Dragon's darling? Damn. He's starring in a porn game. Wild.

Seriously though, he may be a different nationality, but I see him in there.

Funny story about this image series...I posted one earlier; had a pillow with poke through on the seat.

Then, I noticed the problem Re-rendered about 15 images today. Don't assume when you load up a previous scene everything is exactly where it should be



Solid progress on the next update already, after only a few days.

Happy Friday mother fuckers! (and I mean that in the nicest way possible). High fives all around.

I gotta share something I keep noodling on, since it impacts people who like my work, thought I'd share it here (as patrons are gonna get it either way) lol!

Damn, Daisy does look good in jeans. Anyway.

Thing is, here's where Her Heart's Desire is after my last (five? four?) days of work, these are things changed since the .012 version:

• 130+ new images
• 7 new sexy sound effects (some are mixed moaning + action, others are moaning only)
• 20 new sexy animations
• 2 brand new adult scenes in-game
• Five thousand words of new story

That's not the full list for the planned .013 update, no sir. However, let's be real for a minute: 1/2 of the games on this site, or on patreon in general, produce that much in two weeks, sometimes a whole month...there are exceptions, Treasure of Nadia, for example, is certainly moving that fast or faster.

There's a few things I'm going to do today but after that, my goal is to package & ship a "skinny update," .012b, with the included stuff above, as well as further polishing of my rod, I mean, prose. Not rod. ha. Unless?

So if you wanted to see (snip) or better yet, (snip), be on the lookout for Her Heart's Desire later on today.

Wooohoooo!

It's a wrap on this week's edition of crazy fast awesome epic game dev from Big Chungus Productions. What a week it's been guys. Let me tell you - I just flew in from New York, and my arms are really tired.

...crickets...

WHAT??? I shared a tired ass joke from the dark ages of television, and I get crickets? Whelp, dude who wrote that one's probably moved onto the next dimension of their journey through this thing called life.

Speaking of life, how does one breathe more entertainment into a story, a three dimensional fake of a human? Movement, sound...emotion. There's more highs in the game now, and eventually, there will be lows, too - like life. Nobody wants a one dimensional experience, it's why there's sound, there's animation - and now way more of both sound + animation. In fact, the new update today doubled the number of adult scenes (2 to 4) and more than doubled the number of 30 FPS animations - over half were in the update I just produced.

The update is a really nice slice of the budding relationship between Daisy and MC; not to mention, a preview of what Her Heart's Desire might *actually* mean (given, it does refer to a woman...right? But you play a *guy* in the game, so what's with the title)?

Nobody asked, maybe nobody cares All good. If you're curious, there is a story there, but like all things, it'll come with time and further dev efforts across my small team here at Big Chungus Productions. (Team of one, but each of my personalities fill a whole department)

I forgot if I added the other signatures I made to the thread

After dinner, MC seated at the head of the table. A short conversation, then the next scene...time to explore the neighborhood!

 

[mrbigchungus]

(Rose) and MC in the park after their evening walk on day 2; re-rendering an animation this morning due to overactive lip movements in the first attempt...was just...not ideal. lol. With animation baking, I can work on a few other things I need to add / update / improve. Work, work, more work to do.

In case you don't like spoilers, I hid it below

it may be pure coincidence, but your girls really look alike.... almost as if they are RELATED..... Sisters.
And whyyyyy is your Mr. Biggus Dickus now 43? Wasn't he in his early 30s (in your first game)?
Now he could almost be their father! I hope you put on some wordfilters in your nickname-option. Some sick creeps on here would use "Daddy" or "Daughter" or similar filthy names.....
But it is nice to see, that LANDLORD is used in the correct context. I am really sick of this incest-trash.
Keep up the good work.
PS: when you really put the inbreed stuff in with a patch, than be bold enough to insert bestiality as well

Is This Game "Out" already? I Feel Like I have Already played this.
(Maybe a Demo version)
I Also, could have sworn that Dee could be his Daughter (option);
which made it harder for the MC to 'gain relationship pts" without being a Perv. ??? (Game Over)
Cannot remember where it stopped; EoC
I remember the "birthday" shopping trip.
I remember the restaurant. (the flirty waitress)
But Dee's/(Daisy's) friends had already arrived,...
and I could have sworn the 2 friends were related?? (cousin's maybe)
one friend was 'flirty' with MC; the other mild disinterest, or was it jealousy?
I think I remember MC leaving the house with one of the girl's (Rose) for a walk??

- i think that it had to do with someone being upset; needed to cool off ??

Anyway, It All seems Vaguely familiar to me.

Last May, I started this after I was really disappointed with Magical Restart (that was a lesson itself, ha!) and after picking things back up again in January for development after a few months off (too many other life things distracted) now I'm in a place where I can do more development.

What's good in HHD?
Well...damn; that's a little hard to quantify. Some people like the animation, some don't; some appreciate the direct path, some are turned off & want something more...gradual. Personally, I've grown my animation skills, and like most of the progression from the earliest scenes to the more recent ones, I believe there's progress, and want to continue developing that skill.

The reviews are instructive here - accurate - so if you read those, don't be too surprised if the sex is easy, plentiful, and there isn't really a struggle, like there would be if my fat gorilla ass was trying to seal the deal after a 3rd date

Anyway, I'm going to wrap up the game in a few months, I've got the outline for the remaining updates, and there is a tag (or two) in the original plan that hasn't been seen....yet, but will be there. For the finale, there will be at least 1 good / 1 bad ending; TBD what else I get done.

Shelscott50 yes, the game was out for ~7 months since you posted in this thread, the proper game discussion is here, with some more content since you posted, and updates are being published monthly.
