Yeah i think the most jarring thing is i liked certain characters in certain roles for ease of access to them (as i know where they will be for most of the day) and role play purposes.

I guess that makes sense. The only other option I can think of, requires you to have upgraded your phone and hacked all the girls' subdermals. Then you can just 'pin' them to the upper left of your screen and glance to see what location they are in.

I was so waiting for the classic star gazing and planets gag when Delizia showed her stars...

"I can see Uranus from here !!"

Yvette at the beach (0.3.0 preview)

Hello everyone!​
​
Here is a preview of another appointment with Yvette at the beach during sunset.
She really loved the long walk last time, so this is kind of a follow up.​
With the nice scenery in the background and the lovely Yvette close by, it surely will be something to remember.​
If you play it right, you'll end up skinny dipping with her :)​
​
Enjoy the preview and keep safe!​

This new location has been in the works for what, four months by now? I am not complaining, just wondering if it's really that difficult to include new locations in the game?

"if it's really that difficult to include new locations in the game?"

Try it out yourself then to answer your question.
Make a game, learn RenPy, learn Daz3d, make characters... and then see how long it takes you?

Lots of thing happening in this not so wonderful year that can affect things being delayed.
Need I say more...

It doesn't have anything to do with "adding a new location". It's not just a "background image" you can go to. This would take like 30 minutes with nothing to do there except kiss, hug, etc. The lab is not a location you can just go to.

The whole underground lab has to made from scratch based on a ton of modifed and adjusted assets. There was nothing out there that worked even remotedly out of the box for what I had in mind.
What makes it take even longer is the way it's going to work. Once you get into the lab, you can't get out until all is done what you're supposed to do during the first visit. Setting this up takes time and a lot of renders, to get it up to something that feels complete. I cannot just add more to the first events in the lab later on. So everything that's supposed to happen needs to be finished all in one release.
There will also be three new characters that need a personality, behavor patterns, way they dress and talk, etc. and they had to be designed too. I could just have taken premade models from Daz like most other creators do, but that's not how I work.

On top of it that is has been mentioned 4 months ago says exactly what? That I've been working on it 5 minutes per month? So 20 minutes in total? Well, not exactly true, but I've not worked exclusively on the lab, not by a long shot.
