Ah, OK. Makes sense now. I hadn't fully wrapped my head around the multiple diverging path possibilities yet, but your explanation cleared that up for me. Thanks.

I really like this game. It's interesting to see a game where we aren't really blocked from making any choice but how far the choice goes is affected by our relationship with the characters. It also helps that most of the characters are likeable in different ways.
Nothing compared to what Sancho will go through trying to update his Mod every time the VN is updated. I feel sorry for HIM already.

A bit before Ep 4 comes out.
In the free roam you get access to look in the room with cameras. There is her password among the books on the piece of paper.
Hey, friendly piece of advice - they don't allow jurors to be filmed in and out of the court room during the trial. It's to avoid potentially tainting them further in these high profile trials.

Renders are good and story its interesting. Hope that the girls arent all slutty. The game has potential but the dev cant get lost on the story,have more choices with impact on story and relations with girls. When you do other run the book that you get on the court shouldnt have crossed what you did with other characters on other runs.

nah I have the same opinion as him I just don't voice it. Slutty LI are the ones I tend to play their path for last unless something about their character or personality changes my mind. As I don't like my MC is have sex right away that easily , I want to actually get to know the character first and work for it.Well now.... that's a very rare request around this site. Maybe a first even.

Episode 3 progress and other items
Hi everyone!
A short update today to let you all know I’m still alive, and still working!
(Apologies for re-using old steam post images. I have a 160 frame animation rendering right now)
Progress since the last post from the 30th May:
- Rendered another 500 images
- Rendered/edited/added sound to 45 animations in total now for Ep3 (we’re just getting started here too! This episode is going to have a lot more animations than the previous 2 episodes).
- Written another 4 scenes that are now ready for render.
- Created 2 ‘Behind the scenes’ videos for an upcoming supporter page (not yet live).
- Created another 3 characters custom outfits for court (I’m creating these as they appear in the narrative).
It’s been a busy few weeks, but absolutely loving seeing the new scenes come to life.
One particular scene (some of you probably know what I’m talking about) has been a bit of a technical worry of mine since I hinted at it happening in Episode 1. I did wonder if I had overpromised or was too ambitious, but I’m very pleased to say that with certain assets mentioned in last months post, It’s actually a lot of fun to create, and I needn’t have worried!
<ahem!>
To keep you all in the loop, I’m off on holiday in mid-July, for a week, but I’ve bought a keyboard for my IPad so I can still write by the pool and ensure the game continues to develop. I’m hoping to get a huge chunk of the story done at that time as I won’t have access to DAZ (which often distracts me as I find that side of things more fun), so by the time I get back from that, I should have a good few thousand images to get started on.
Lovense
My technical consultant has sorted out the issues we were having with that, so I can get those final tweaks sorted out now and get the functionality turned on.
For those interested, the issue I was having was that the toys you can link with the game have multiple functions (vibrate, suction, etc) and renpy was having trouble using more than one at a time, which led to the toys just stopping (which would have been a real mood killer!). That's now sorted so for each lewd scene, I need to add in custom commands based on what's happening in the scene. It's going to be developed most specifically for the Solace and the Max 2, but should work generically with any of the toys that Lovense have to offer.
3D Printing
For a bit of fun, I've sent off a model for 3D printing (mainly a mini fun side project for my own enjoyment, but if it turns out well, I’ll print a few if there is any interest I'll get more printed). I had a call earlier today with an 3D artist in the U.S. who is currently converting one of the characters to something that is printable as a test run.
The issue with DAZ figures and 3D printing is that they are all 'open-mesh' due to the nature of how the assets are attachable/detachable and movable. If you fed them through a 3D printer, they would error or come out all deformed. So all the gaps need to be manually closed (eyes to eyelids, top lip to bottom lip, dress/clothing to skin, jewellery to skin, hair to head etc). You also need to re-model some of the assets, like eyebrows and hair because they are often strand-based which is not printable either.
I think that's probably the reason you don't see many developers offering figures, because the prep-work involved is quite expensive (plus the cost of having them professionally painted!).
That's it for now. I'll check in before I head off on holiday. I do hope everyone is starting to enjoy the sun! Have a fantastic rest of June!
Thanks,
Nickle3DArt

One of the things I like the most about this awesome game is the writing. And the beautiful women of course.

July Progress Update
Hello Jurors!
I'm currently in France for the week, to soak up the sun and… Code by the pool. I promise I will be relaxing too!
Small patch from Sunday:
I put a small update out on Sunday. The main reason was to put in some variables in preparation for Episode 3. I also added in a tiny slither of new content as seen below.
Updates on the Ep3 since the last steam post:
- Rendered another 256 shots (Over a thousand now)
- Rendered and edited another 20 animations (Over 60 now)
- Written another 7 scenes
The rendering should pick up a quite a bit when I’m back as I now have a gap until more animations come into play (anims slow down the overall process quite a bit as they take a good amount of time to create, then obviously a lot of time to render).
For the time being, let’s see what you make of Lily’s new look (She's possibly trying to catch someone's eye...)!
3D Printing:
I've been doing this sporadically throughout the last few weeks. They take a while to print (8 hours a time in the latest cases). I can say that I've successfully printed and painted (To what I think is a fairly good standard) a bust of one of the characters. I'll be printing a run of 5, painting them then doing a couple of give aways.
Have great few weeks, and I'll touch base when I'm back!

What an amazing game! To fully enjoy it, you have to play through various branches. To give you an idea, in Chapter 1, I needed 19 different routes, and in Chapter 2, I used 10 of these routes, which generated 14 new ones.
Anyone who doesn't like to follow multiple routes probably won't enjoy this game. If you stick to just one route, the game ends up being quite short.
It might be a good idea for the developer to add some hints in the future when you reach a scene and can't do something because you forgot to do something in a previous chapter.
For example, in a scene with a girl, she allows you to do more things with her, but for that, you need to give her the right book in the library.
I liked that some actions you take can have a positive or negative impact later on with other LIs.

This is being worked on, but likely won't be finished before season 3 releases.
