Hi everyone! I'm excited to share some fresh news about the development of Lida's Adventures Ep.3 v4. Over the past few weeks, I've been working hard, and now the release is 40% complete! In this post, I want to talk about two things. In the first part, I'd like to share some joyful events that have happened to me recently, thanks to you. They have had a huge impact on my life, and I just couldn't keep it to myself. If you're not particularly interested in my personal life and just want to know about the game's development progress, feel free to skip to the second part. In the second part, I'll discuss the current state of development and my plans for the near future.
Chapter 1: A Bit of Personal Stuff (If Not Interested, Skip to Chapter 2)
A Huge Thank You
First and foremost, I want to thank you all for your tremendous support, especially recently. Special thanks go to those who have supported me for a long time, and especially to the gold and platinum patrons. You guys are true heroes! For the past couple of years, I've been in a debt pit, and it has had a very negative impact on my life and work. But finally, this month, thanks to you, I was able to get out of this debt pit and return to normal life. I can finally breathe freely and enjoy life. It's an incredible feeling, and I'm happy to share it with you.
Dreams Come True
Back in 2017, I built my computer for work, and it's been the same since then. Over these 7 years, three power supplies have burned out, several hard drives have failed, and two graphics cards have died. I used to work with four graphics cards, but now I'm down to just two, both from 2016. Technology has moved forward, and I'm stuck in the past with my computer. Sometimes, my computer just can't handle the workload and shuts down, especially if I forget to save my progress. It's a bit like sadomasochism: my work is painful and exhausting, but ultimately brings me pleasure! XD
But finally, I was able to start upgrading my work computer. I've already ordered some new parts and can't wait for them to arrive. Most importantly, I've started saving up for the NVIDIA RTX 4090 graphics card that I've been dreaming of for years. It costs a fortune, and until recently, it was an unattainable dream. But now I see that it can become a reality. I hope to achieve this goal by the end of the year and take my work to a new level. This will turn my work from a torment into a fairy tale.
I'm incredibly excited! I'm so glad I could start this process thanks to you, especially thanks to someone like "Rumtreibaer". By the middle of this month, I'll have new parts for my PC, and I can't wait to install and test them. Honestly, I'm itching to get started!
Summing Up
I'm incredibly happy about all the events that have happened recently. Work is starting to make me smile and bring me joy. After getting the new graphics card, I'll be able to devote more attention to creating animations for the game. Right now, it's an extremely tedious process, but I promise to improve and add more animations to the game.
This was a cry from my soul, and I really wanted to share it with you. Even if no one reads this text, I'm glad I could write it for you. Now, let's move on to the development progress.
Chapter 2: Development Progress of Lida's Adventures Ep.3 v4
Achieved Progress
Graphics and Animation
At the moment, I've completely finished working on the old scenes you've seen in previous posts, such as the scene in Tony's shop and new scenes with the photographer. I'm now adding animation to these scenes and working on new scenes in locations like the school, photo studio, farm, laboratory, and some others.
Music and Sound Effects
I'm continuing to enrich the game with new sounds and background music, because without them the game would feel very empty. I plan to significantly expand the music repertoire and eventually remove unused music fragments to reduce the game's size.
Dialogues
Dialogues are mostly written parallel to the renders being created, which allows for a clearer conveyance of the game's lore and plot. Thus, dialogues, like renders, are about 40% complete.
Game Code Scripting
After numerous problems with the game code in the previous update, I've managed to stabilize it and bring it to a state where there are far fewer issues during development. In previous releases, the code was a nightmare for me. Now, things are much better.
Challenges and Problems
After reviewing numerous feedback and personal messages, some errors were discovered. I encountered a few minor technical issues with scripting, but they were promptly fixed, for which I thank you greatly. Several times I received reports about problems in the scene with the nurse and the red dress, but everyone who encountered this bug seems to have found a workaround. I couldn't replicate it myself, but I will definitely fix this gap by the next release. In the future, I will try to restore my Discord server's normal operation, and I'll post all bug-related information there for better communication and quicker code fixes.
Future Plans
-I'm trying to steer the plot so that sexual scenes appear more frequently and quickly in the game. After switching from RPG Maker to RenPy, the game's pace slowed down a bit and the scenes became less hardcore. I'll definitely work on fixing that.
-I plan to give special attention to the character Selina and her scenes since she hasn't appeared in the game for a long time. Therefore, I plan to return to posts like polls and surveys. This will help me understand which scenes and characters you are most interested in.
-Right now, I'm working directly on new scenes. A lot of scenes have been created, but they are in the early stages. This is because they will be developed in parallel with writing dialogues and coding.
-Another important goal is to improve the Discord server, as due to some issues related to VPN usage, I don't always read messages and comments promptly. Discord will help me respond to questions much faster.
Feedback and Interaction
I appreciate your support and would love to hear your thoughts on the current progress. Please share your ideas and suggestions in the comments to this post or in personal messages. What would you like to see most in future versions of Lida's Adventures Ep.3?

Thanks for the info for a moment I thought I had reached the end of the game for the current update.
Haven't played this in awile, but I think there's a spot in the lower left or right that you have to click on.

It's a VERY linear game so all you need to do is follow the help menu... you need to find the anatomy books in the storeroom (the doors at the back in that screenshot) before you can go to the next part of the story.
*hint* once you're in the storeroom, click on all the globes you can see to get the light to work (it's a bit inane but whatever...)

Hello Folks, I've finished the first episode and I'm going through the second one !
I just have a quick question, does the second episode also have a gallery (like the second floor of Lida's house in the first game) and where?
Cheers !
