I have a question for the insiders: What's the deal with version number 0.8.3.1? Does this mean that there will be further updates beyond v0.8.3? .2, .3, etc.?
Her Initial plan for episode 8 is three parts. 8.1, 8.2, 8.3.
Both 8.1 & 8.2 released as whole parts. But, she changed plans and divided 8.3 into two parts namely 8.3.1 & 8.3.2.
8.3.1 (test version) is released, soon she will release 8.3.1 final release.
And god knows when she will develop and release 8.3.2 (which intended to the last part of episode 8).

Yea, but no one (including Alessandra) actually knows what Olivia is truly thinking. She lies as easily as she breaths. Hell, even her thoughts (which only the readers see) are lies.
What's bumming me out though is that it now seems that Olivia and Alessandra have known each other for a long time, which makes their first meeting in episode 1 completely nonsensical. Before this update, the logical conclusion was that Olivia knew more than she let on when she had first met Alessandra, and that Alessandra knew that Olivia knew more than she was letting on. But now it seems that they have known each other the whole time which makes that whole conversation they had when they met completely absurd. I've always thought that the writing was fantastic, but now I'm starting to have doubts. This update was doo-doo.
yea the game is getting really big which likely means not only will we lose certain paths, but will also likely lose the ability to kill characters during the game since that would create a need for even more renders.

It's interesting to see what role Alessandra would play in pure dom paths (good and evil). Pure Dom routes has the lowest story content with her (except the netori stuff with celeste and co). Her plan is clearly about female supremacy directly (sub) or indirectly (ss) which is totally against most of pure dom goals (either it is revolution or kane ruling as single or sharing equal power with gambit girl).
Man, Dominique's bullshit excuses for her sadism in her "good" path were really disgusting. Even insulting.
There's no way to redeem that bitch. At least Juliette's honest about her nature.

My blind guess (might be wrong) is.. She got stuck in the storytelling. She knows her destiny (planned factions and endings already), but lost the path to destiny and going round in circles.

I think you are both right. Adding each path increases the complexity almost exponentially. This creates it's own problems, but if you loose focus in your writing, all these paths become nearly impossible to resolve. You cannot figure out where to continue with the story, because you have created too many possibilities. While the player is only dealing with possibly one or two paths, the developer has to maintain a story with all of those paths. If you are not 110% focused, you loose your ability to maintain almost any path to get to the final destination. Your story lines begin to fall apart and start to go in circles.
yea, she has her traditional story, which is easy and straightforward. However then she has to then split up the non traditional part of the story into dom and sub. Then she has to split those two paths up according to levels. Its easy to see how the story can get out of hand from what one planned.
If Im not mistaken her original plan was for 14 endings, that's pretty much impossible with a one person operation.

You guys are leaving out one major loophole. This is a story that easily allows Tess an out by killing, trading or selling a few people. Heh, Jus' Sayin'
First, I've updated the post with the Test Version to the $15 (Olivia harem tier). It's not a huge amount of people at that tier, but I wanted to get the test version out to them!
Second, I am working diligently on the Final Version now and some updates on that... I did take a good three days off from the game to recover and also catch up on a lot of other stuff for the wedding and design business, etc. But I should be in a much better position this week to grind out a lot! I've usually taken a week off so I'm feeling kind of motivated!
Final Version update:
I have inserted animations into the game. I had many more than I remembered and I started out with about 210 of them and weeded them down to about 154 animations that are currently in the Final Version. I may run through them again and try and be critical, but I'm getting convinced to not be as harsh on cutting every animation that bothers me and that players are a bit more forgiving. But I still may run another cut but this should still end up being the most animations in an update as I think about 100+ or so was in the 8.2 version. I think that had close to 5000 renders and 100ish animations.
I am in the middle of one of the new two sub scenes and it should be done later this week. It's an optional scene and I will place warnings in it, etc. I think Test Version players know which scene I mean.
I have done half of the outro (it's split in two locations but shorter than the manifesto of the last update) just to close out the game. I know it's not that important to a lot players but for me it's a big deal to be able to thank people that give me positive energy and help for the game, etc.
I've set up a basic structure of the Game 6 room and have written about half of the scene now. I may start on this scene next or shift to the dom side depending on how I feel after finishing the current scene.
There's a bit more content this time between Test --> Final so I may need an extra week from my normal goals but we'll see. I think I am in pretty good shape since I didn't rest the whole week but did some work, etc.
I hope everyone that has tried the game is having fun!
(And Anais is still asking for feedback on the character Lily for The Quantum Academy -- mostly just the face/body as hair and a bunch of other things are easy to switch, etc).
I will keep this kind of short so I can rest and get up and work on stuff this week as much as possible! Thank you all!

, it feels...disrupted.
