Let's start with the bad news
Covid got me too.
It started late Friday, not really a big deal, light headache, a running nose and problems concentrating.

Lesson learned.
Don't work when you can't concentrate.
I really deleted the setup directory for Chapter 2.3. Somebody shoot me please.

I have backups but they are missing a few scenes.
That means: No additional renders or I have to set up these scenes again.
(guess I will change the backup from once a week to once a day)

But now ...


The good news

That happened AFTER I finished the version for editing.
So no work is lost (pictures have been copied over to renpy already).

A copy has been send out for editing, in the meantime I'll take it slow, add more music, check variables, set up the gallery, play it again - and again.

If my condition doesn't get worse (I don't think so) and I manage to finish the remaining tasks, there will be an update in the next days.

Thanks for your support, the next posting will be (hopefully) about the successful release.

Update, News and a Release

Thanks to all for the well being wishes!
Most symptoms are gone, still struggling with concentrating.
But it's getting better every day.

The poll came out quite clear. I haven't expected that.

She changed a lot in the last 10-15 years, that's only my first version, how I see her in the game.
Not perfect, but not finished :) Will work on it.
You will meet her in Chapter 3.2.

Editing AND proofreading went smoothly. Thank you guys! A lot!

I'm waiting for the Android port, so Chapter 2.3 will be online soon.


--


Finally the "introduction"is done!
Any characters you like most? Or hate?


Chapter 3.1 will solve some of the mysteries, introduce new characters and progress the story.

Thanks for your support!

I haven't played it yet, but I always love to try a game with new concept :)
One question about the tag....I saw domination and submission tag. Will there be any femdom :p?

Unfortunately no.

There will be one side character where I could implement femdom (this dom/sub tags were meant for her).
But it would only be part of a side story.

Do you mean there will be femdom with that character in future?

It would fit into her role - but I really don't see the girls being dominated.
Alex would scratch her eyes out and Isa would call Zeuss :)
And the MC .... no, doesn't fit either.

So perhaps a scene or two with some unknown men/women to introduce her, but that would only be in the side story.
Sorry.

Thanks, I understand. I am going to try the game anyways. I like the concept :)

Excellent VN so far... quality "movies". One small criticism, day 1 bedroom scene, Alex's navel appears about 1 inch too far to [her] the right.

Ya, it's from the pose, but I think it's not worth spending a few hours rendering it again.
Maybe later when I'm writing the story and the GPU is bored to death :)

Thanks for pointing it out!
