For those keeping track of the score for 0.1.9, thats Amy 3 and Darkhound 0.

Round 1: Darkhound slaps Amys butt, She likes it and wants more, Defensive victory
Amy 1 Darkhound 0

Round 2: Amy "bosses" Darkhound around, Strength 6, Amy on top.
Amy 2 Darkhound 0

Round 3: 34H to the face, Darkhound is out cold.
Amy 3 Darkhound 0

Technical KO victory, renamed to "it's Amy's island now".

Remember guys,
Strive to be PATIENT and appreciative fans.
Darkhound1 is redoing one of the core mechanisms.
This takes time and releasing it before the whole process is complete doesn't help.
Without experiencing the entire system, we can't give any meaningful feedback.

Here's your news:
Beta testing won't be until at least this weekend.
That means we won't see this update until at least Wed.
It'll probably be later than that, but I think it'll be worth it, especially if it includes Natasha's Night Visit.

Asking when it will be out simply delays the process.

Daedal, I am only on my first play thru but I have collected erotic games for decades in many forms and genres and this is one of the best I have ever seen. All of the details are well thought out, and balanced, the achievements are intelligent, creative and realistic and the girls stunning beyond words. I have painted, drrawn, sculpted, and in the past decade created in digital form and also in real 3D form, female figures with ample proportions, of beauty and these girls are some of the most beautiful I have seen yet. It is more than worth playing it is worth being treasured.

There is still a bug concerning the sequence when sexting images are shown. As a result, you might not be able to see them all, or get strange sorting, etc. (there is nothing wrong with the game data, it only needs a code update) --> will be fixed with 0.1.9.0

Is the update going to break save games?

0.1.8.1 beta --> Save games from 0.0.8 and later can still be used. Earlier saves are no longer supported.
0.1.9.0 beta --> same as for 0.1.8.2​

Estimated release dates:

0.1.9.0 beta --> no idea yet

There will be more than 650 new high res renders added. A lot of them are done in the nightbar. Due to the relative darkness, walls, glass and bottles, render times are very high for these renders.
Let's blame Joy for not adequately lighting the bar room.
She has no regard for safe work environment.

Jennifer, Yumiko or Mercedes' breast bump accidents are up 200%.
(When you see the iceberg(s) coming towards you, too late, just too damn late)

Shame on her.

She could at least have installed cameras and stream it :p

Remarkable Transparency and candor..for development. Shows a lot of care being taken thank you for the efforts. I have no interest in Lesbian activities so thanks for the heads up being included. looking forward to the new stuff but no hurry takes time to do the best work.

Well done!

I am happy to welcome you to Darkhound's "Should I worry" list.
And oh boy is it a great list to be on!

There you will meet the founding member Bantry, yes the Bantry (I know, I know, overwhelming). Who will share all Delizia pictures (mandatory attendence, same five pictures each time)

I know what you think, awesome, awesome list.
And then there are the prominent visitors, like
  • Duck "Jennifer should have kept her mega melons" Swimming
    • Three spreedsheet for all questions asked, with a bonus spreadsheet for all questions not asked
Trolls mutter about it in their sleep, Moderators ponder its Axioms, Secret societies plot their world domination around it.
It is the home of boob power, the temple of boobness, the stronghold of knockerism.

It is like winning, just with boobs.

:D

Usually every update ( unless it's bug fix ) brings new scenes for several characters. The game is actually on an ongoing tuning (new UI, higher pictures rez, etc check the dev patron site ).
The up coming update will be kinda "huge".
okay, thank you for the infomation
