Well, on the upside it concentrates views and replies into one thread, which increases its visibility, which again increases views and replies in a self perpetuating cycle.

Not saying that it compensates, but there is that at least.
---
Adding sound to the game sounds like a good excuse to jump the versioning to 0.2 imo.

Major addition in a way, easy to remember and should bring a bit more attention (as low version numbers usually indicate low content/alpha stages and probably makes potential patrons ignore it due appearing "just begun" where it in fact is massive)
---
Adding a (animated intercourse of some sort) sex scene to those missing (Aly, Ivy, Renee, Brenda, Lacy, Delizia) ex. allocating space to one each month, could be a good excuse to jump to 0.3.

As that would be a major milestone amd also bulk the diversity out a bit and give all flavor of girls a "prestige finisher" (technically Jennifer and Yumiko could be included, but they are special, and Jennifer is iconic in a way, so I guess she deserves special "special" treatment :))

Not saying any of it is needed or particular relevant, just some notes really, important is as always taking it in ones own pace and find enjoyment in the experience whether creating or consuming or recharging the batteries for inspiration :)

It may sound crazy, but I think the thing I'm most excited about is the fix to Faye's dress in the restaurant.
As for 2.0, the developer wants to get as many gaps filled as possible before that comes along. My guess is Sept. Just look at how many goals were met by 1.5.
Goals for 2.0:
Renders for all intimate actions for all girls (Lacey needs Doctor actions, many girls need reception, many outfits missing flash action, etc.)
Drink with all girls in Night Bar
Sexting for all girls
Walk on beach for all girls
All Girls get personalized "Talk about her" dialogue
All girls get basic workout scenes
All girls can be visited in their rooms & achievement awarded
Pool scenes for most girls

Amy's ride - a tech demo
1555084575031.png


Hello guys and gals!
Today we (as in Wilson from Niceerotica ( ) and myself) have something special for you.
It's a tech demo with a total new level of animation control. Amy will be the one providing the "fun" and Joy will do the introductions.
You have a whole bunch of features:
  • zoom in/out (using mous or buttons)
  • video speed (fps) control
  • center buttons for face, breasts and private parts
  • And you can position the video using your mouse (drag & drop)
tech demo3.jpg
Joy will give you a short into on how to use the controls.

PC Version:
Mac version:
All that's left for me to say are a couple of things. Most importantly - download the tech demo and have fun with! A lot of work went into this, so we would really appreciate your comments! A big big thanks to Willson from Niceerotica ( ) for all his help and contributions to this tech demo. Without him, you wouldn't get this today.

Tech demo is a great addition! As it is I'd recommend reversing the drag & drop mouse movements so that moving up goes up and not down, and moving left goes left and not right, etc. No big deal but if you can change it all the better. As for additions, the more camera angles the better. POV is always good choice along with the breast/front view, butt/back view, side/profile view and the girl's face/reaction view. Music and sound effects will add a lot which I think you're already working on. And, a separate orgasm bar for the woman would be a nice touch. You could add all kinds of gameplay and objectives with that.

Possibility to hide the left menu (0.1.6 beta preview)

Hide_left1.jpg
Hello everyone!

I have no idea why I haven't hought about this sooner. It was really easy to implement. With the next version, you will be able to hide/show the left game menu anytime you want to.

The option will be available everywhere in the game. Here are some screens on how it looks when the menu is hidden.

1.jpg

As always, please let me know what you think about this upcoming feature.

New renders and scenes will make use of that feature, since I can use the left part of the screen now as well for a lot of scenes.

Enjoy the preview and take care,
Darkhound

I must admit some sympathy for Aly's plight, when reading the update.
She is probably willing to commit major felonies to avoid more quest or game renders by now (she has a lot already).

She'd probably want to trade them for an evening of [Yvette] sex events (Aly has none) to restore her fading fortunes (her record rank drop) something hotshots is rather unlikely to help her with.

Poor girl will eventually have to abduct the MC and have her way with him :p

Aly is just biding her time until the titfighting championship begins. Rumor has it that she and Jennifer make a killer tag-team duo! They are still working on a name for their team, so any suggestions are welcome.
