Here is a quick summary of events since the last release in late August. That seems so long ago now.
Shortly after the release, I had a computer crash and I found that I hadn't saved the user files for Koikatu since Chapter 1 was being produced. A horrendous mistake.
I decided that instead of trying to retrieve those files, I would change the art of this VN to Honey Select 2 as I had done everything I knew how to with the Koikatu engine and was ready for something different. As I was doing that, I began going through massive changes in the way I perceived the world around me. To illustrate how that was for me, here is a subminimal picture:
Do you see anything out of the ordinary when you look at it? I know I didn't until it was specifically pointed out to me. Everyone I've shown it to so far didn't see it either. But very strangely, once you see it, it becomes the first thing you see when you see this picture forever after that.
I will point out the subliminal later so I don't give it away. But to make a long story short, my wife had been getting into a lot of the so-called conspiracy theories that are circulating around the alternative sites on the internet. I was mainly drawn to David Icke, who was the one that supplied this subliminal. He predicted the Orwellian events seemingly surrounding the COVID19 crisis 30 years ago. Now when I look at the world, that's all I see, just with like the subliminal in this image.
Before I found Icke, I'd already had a healthy distrust of Big Pharma in general and wanted no part of a vaccine that hadn't been tested properly and was being produced by profit motivated corporations with zero liability. But now my mind was swirling with all of these horribly sinister conspiracy theories. Then in October, the health corporation I've been working for last ten years announced that they were forcing us to either get vaccinated or bring in a negative test. This seemed to confirm all the conspiracy theories.
Well, I felt like I was being guided by God to neither get the vaccine or be tested, so I invoked the religious exemption that I filed with my company last July. Since then, they flatly denied the exemption they once offered and when I didn't back down, they then offered me the "accommodation" of unpaid leave. I refused. If you scroll up to the wall-o-text above this wall-o-text, you can read about the current events. I will submit my answers to the questions this Tuesday.
Have you found the subliminal? Look for the letters SEX in the white spaces between the plants in the bottom half. See it now? You do?! Now notice how this is the first thing you see when you look at this from now on. Freaked me out.
This whole world was freaking me out and my wife was getting frightened so I've been digging down deep with my spirituality lately asking God to help me see things the way they really are. Now we're both in a more peaceful place knowing we are being taken care of by our creator despite what seems to be happening around us. I'm pulling back from all the conspiracy stuff, realizing I really don't know what the fuck is going on in this world.
That being said, LLD will be taking on a whole different tone with the new art and the way I'm "seeing" the world around me.
Not that it won't continue to be silly and sexy...some things about me will never change.
