Resident Post: "TB" Finished. It's Orgy Time!
Yoyoyo!
DAMMMNNN! Even after posting the public ver with some additional CG, I still have over 170CG ready for the next patch! GONNA BE GOOOOOOOOOD! I've really been on a roll recently with development speed (largely because I haven't been working with Jayce's Apartment lol!). Seeing my output folder fill up so quickly is a real dopamine rush so I've been in a pretty great mood all week ^_^

"When reason fails, the devil helps" - Dostoevsky
Alright so "TB" is finished. Finito. DONE! It's all rendered, all post work completed and it looks sweeeeet! I've really tried to make the scenes as much a visual spectacle as I can, I want it to look and feel amazingly cinematic and just wow you guys with the whole package. It's an important event with several storylines playing at once both in the foreground and in the back and I think, at least visually, I've done it justice. BELIEVE me when I say that I so desperately wanna show you some of the really "shocking" stuff but the "s" word doesn't allow me (ssssspoilers xD). So you'll have to do with an out of focus shot of our new baddie: Addy / Adz.
I mentioned him some months ago toward the end of last year and I love where I've landed with his design, originally he was supposed to be a bit of an dunce but I've rewritten his character to make him a little more intellectual. He isn't the most prominent character in the story but he is
incredibly important.
Remember the scene when Lisa came home after Aoife College? I'll try to refresh your memory:
"I don't care if they're gangsters. I'm not afraid.
I will save her, even if I have to kill someone to do it."
Well things have changed and Lisa is now
extremely afraid. Addy has a brief introduction but it's probably one of the more unsettling in the game. The stakes are rising, Lisa's heading toward the point of no return and I'm all in ^_^!

An old photo of Katie (Lisa's Mother) and Lisa. This image really made me well up when I first rendered it lol 
I'm so excited about this whole plot but lately I think perhaps I'm even more excited to really get into Lisa's growth as the walls begin closing around her. I'm trying to find the best way to convey what exactly I mean by this but I'm struggling to find the words but I'll try.
I think writing a male lead in such a high stakes role that centers around bravery probably comes a lot easier because of the sheer quantity of stories like this we have to draw inspiration from but writing a female character, one who can't fight or defend the ones she loves physically, a girl who was nervous even talking to strangers in recent past, turning into a heroine in the face of the most overwhelmingly terrible and unfavorable circumstances is, I think the real winner and just thinking about all of the moments we have yet to see, that push Lisa to the edge just gets me so, so, SO excited for her final form ^_^
I can't stress enough just how much I love Lisa as a character lol!
Alright so I've foreshadowed events a ridiculous amount in this game so far. It's an addiction I can't resist. There is one scene in particular that you'll all recall but when first introduced you probably had no idea which direction it'd take, if any at all but in the coming update, you'll surely have a much better idea of where it's going. The reason I'm even mentioning this vague recollection is because there are a quite a few reveals and revelations in the coming updates. We're pretty close to tying
some of the plot together, mainly that which is centered around Aoife and Tony, which is only the beginning. This will likely be the primary focus of the patch following the Orgy release. It's certainly a less explosive event but focuses more on very technical dialogue but I'm getting ahead of myself. I am super excited to start bringing some pieces together because there are huge elements of the story that still haven't been introduced, characters that are paramount to the plot that haven't even seen a single frame yet and I gotta get them on screen ASAP!!
E3 starts off with a bang but it's really
only the start of the journey to the first real crescendo of the game and
that event, perhaps above anything I'll make in the next year or two; is a certified banger.

"Someone hide those pills, she's eating them like skittles."
Quit yappin' pG 'n tell us about the "good" stuff!
YAAA! That's fair, that's fair ^_^! With "TB" finished (with the exception of Lisa getting her Outfit 3) I have also started work on the DL Orgy scene. I think I've mentioned it before but the plan here is that there are three distinct routes to begin with. Lisa can choose to:
1: Participate in the orgy. You can pick and choose which characters you'd like to engage with and all being well things will continue to escalate with details like sweat on the body increasing as a background variable rises, it'll transition phases where things swap around a bit all of this continuing until the inevitable climax which again is determined by who you've engaged with and how many times. It's a really different format from the usual and it might be too ambitious but we'll see in time! I will talk more in depth about the selectable groups or parties and the progression of this event as I get further into it.
2: Voyeur. Lisa can choose to stay downstairs but simply watch instead. This route will be a lot shorter but is for those that don't want to engage with anyone at the party sexually but don't want to miss the fun either. Hopefully this is a fun idea, Lisa will end up playing with herself a bit while watching the others but won't "technically" cheat. This scene might be released in a patch afterward just to save time on the main "Danny Leaves" release because I know it'll be the less popular route or it might be scrapped altogether, I'm unsure on it but for now it's on the list
3: Go upstairs. This one leads to the NO route and another route I won't disclose because it's already detailed in game under a spoiler tag ^_^
No idea how long it'll take to put it all together but I know the first draft of CGs won't be anywhere near completion. A lot of the work in this event will come from playing and testing back and forth adding new variants and such to the events just to give added immersion. I am still on the runup to the Orgy. Where the Sharing route saw Bo & Joe arrive, that's roughly where I am on the Orgy route currently. If you played the sharing route you saw Bo ask for an outfit like the others but decides instead that she'll just go nude. It's around this point where the Orgy begins in this route and the choice list is offered. Up until this the events play
somewhat similarly but they're all unique CGs.
One last thing is to mention that the poll for E3 content will be uploaded later today. I actually had it templated in Subscribestar but I absent-mindedly updated Windows and I have to re-enter all of the poll entries manually (it doesn't save them in draft! xd) so look forward to that!
I do want more content that just "TB" and the Orgy in the next patch so I'll be using the poll as reference for what that additional content is ^_^!!
Aaaand I think that's about it!
Thank you so much everyone, sincerely x <3 I hope your weekend is full of love and joy
