Nice groupingHaha, mine's 26th, and my dad is actually 29th
Hello everyone, especially those who asked if I was real, but real, just interested in games, and releases of new versions, if they are.
Nope, we don't do that. taking a bit longer this month as we wanted to give more content than the normal update. plus the paths have diverged quite a bit so more renders needed to fill the different paths
Yes. Pretty much any 3Dcg adult game uses Daz Studio if the pictures have really glossy simple plastic looking CG then they may be using Honey Select.
I guess this is the problem with running 4 games at once, updating one takes over 4 months.
Sigh. Oh well.

From what I understand the reason why he doesn't like doing IR updates is that he loses patrons every time he does one.
And he gains patrons every time he does an Alexandra one.
How often would you like to lose money? I'm honestly a little surprised he's still doing it.
If this keeps up, I won't be shocked if IR gets abandoned at some point.
That's disappointing. That said I don't understand why you're taking such an accusatory tone, I don't want anyone to lose money. I like the game and want to see more of it, that's all.
I wasn't taking an accusatory tone.
I understand that text doesn't have intonations.

That seems like a peculiar development, for sure. If he does indeed lose real paid support for doing IR, he should stop it...unless he actually likes doing it (which, I would think, would be the best reason for doing this largely economically unsound business).
Since the games (other than Dana) generally have less than a half-dozen updates, hopefully it's just a quirk and there will be a more traditional growth going forward. I happen to like IR and it is what spurred me to become a patron.

Well, as long as he IS still committed to this game, it sure means a lot to those of us committed to playing it, so, when there's an update, it's a good time to show some of that commitment and maybe head over to his Patreon and show him some monetary love, especially for IR.

Progress report
Hi
Last one of these before the update.
All the renders and animations have been prepared. It's just a question of finishing to render them. Plus finishing up some dialogue.
From now on it's basically just a matter of waiting for the renders to finish, and checking out the bug report channel on the discord, to see if there's anything to fix from the last update.
Could be 3 days, could be 4. Not sure exactly.
That's about it.
Best regards
Ptolemy

I'm curious. Why exactly does he lose patrons whenever he posts IR updates and gains more whenever it posts any other updates?

Probably the other games are more popular then IR. I personally like the others more as well but i think IR is good as well.
More Time and labor for Renders and writing go into an IR update as the story is at a point where there are different diverging paths that each need there own renders and stories filled out. It cost more because of the extra computer time basically and also newer patreons joined for Alex so drop in pledges
So, people are leaving during IR updates, because the IR update news info are generally longer than others due to it being more developed and demanding in terms of time and resources? Not sure I quite understand that grammatically and mentally, but I do look forward to the update.
I would very much like to see the wife and Christine (I believe i got the female PT's name correct?) get together with the husband as they are both very beautiful models and are shaping up nicely (accidental pun intended XD)
i have 3 playthrough christine still live with her husband, she live with a gym instructor, and she go back to her son, my question is when the updates arrive? did he still working with this game

Batten down the hatches, maties, for thar be updates ahead. Yar, tho it not be as soon as ye wanted, Cap'n Pto has an update of sorts for ye. 'Course, it requires ye to be able to read and we know full well that be not what ye come to a porn site fer...
In the meantime, have ye not yet given a share of your treasure to this here dev? The plank for you that haven't!
Slight delay
Hi
Let me start by apologizing for this slight delay. I was hoping to release the update today at the latest. And I think an explanation is in order.
I was wrong in my calculations.
This week we had to finish rendering. We had 120 renders to do on Monday. That's including all the frames for the animations we had left. Given that I've set the max time for each render at 4 hours, my calculations were these: 4hours x 120 renders = 480 renderhours. 480 renderhours / 4 people rendering = 120 render hours per person. 120 render hours per person / 24 hours in a day = 5 days maximum time.
So I was hoping to have everything ready today at the latest.
What I didn't take into account, was down time. Someone is at work while their current batch of renders finishes, and the PC sits idle till he comes back. I'm sleeping as his current batch finishes due to the timezone difference between us, and the PC sits idle till I get up.
My apologies.
As of right now, I have 20 of the 120 renders still to send out. The rest are done. Hope to send them out tonight.
So, ETA till it's done is any day now. But I'm out of the prediction business.
Thank you for understanding
Ptolemy
PS: Reading that back, it may seem that the current update will be 120 renders long. No, it's 362 renders long. 120 were to be finished this week.
