Congratulations on your persistence and good luck.
Are you slow talking?
So be like the Dauntless dive bomber that was called slow but deadly. Just be slow but consistent and do your job. (y)
That development is slow because it's a hobby project, and I don't think it will ever become a significant source of income.
I have no intention of becoming a full-time adult game developer, I want to keep it as a hobby. So the time I spend developing is quite limited.
I have a normal job, family, kids. I pause Patreon payments most of the time.
I like the freedom to make my VN the way I want it and not have to worry about popular fetishes and the tastes of the mainstream adult games audience.

I totally understand and I wasn't going to rush you. :)

Yeah, I hate popular fetishes like NTR too.

The development continues. Progress has been quite slow recently, and there is still a lot of work to be done. But already at the moment the first part of chapter 3, which will be released as the next update, has more content than chapter 2, so the two parts of chapter 3 together will be quite long.

I'll be on vacation for the next two weeks, followed by a pretty busy time catching up at my job after vacation, so July's progress won't be great. Of course, I'm pausing the billing cycle again.

This week I was forced to buy a new laptop, as there are problems with my old laptop that seem to be caused by the coming death of the motherboard.

My new laptop isn't some super-duper rendering machine, as it's mainly meant to be used for my day job, but it's still a pretty noticeable improvement over my old laptop.

It doesn't mean that development will be significantly faster, as the time for creating scenes is more limiting for me than the rendering I can do while working, but still, it will make some things easier.

Switching from the GeForce GTX 960M 4GB to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 6GB speeds up rendering very noticeably. 6GB of GPU memory isn't that much for rendering purposes, but even for scenes that don't fit in GPU memory, CPU rendering on my new laptop is faster than GPU rendering for most scenes on my old laptop.

Migrating my content for Daz Studio to the new laptop seems to have worked without any problems, but I haven't had time to test it more thoroughly yet. We'll see after my holiday.

A side effect of my switching to the new laptop might be that I'll play a game or two that my old laptop couldn't handle ;-) But I definitely want to spend more of my free time developing my visual novel than gaming.

Games used to be better when I was young, and I'm a retro gamer, so it's not like there are dozens of new games I want to try when I have the hardware to handle them.

Development News + a little quiz
The development continues. I'm pretty happy about my new laptop, as rendering my average scene seems to be more than ten times faster than on my old laptop. Obviously this doesn't mean 10x faster development, as creating scenes for renders is still about as fast as it used to be, except for shorter load times. But still, working on my VN is more enjoyable thanks to the new hardware.
At the moment, I'm mainly working on renders, and also writing dialogue for a branch of certain events that you get to if you choose a combination of decisions that are relatively unlikely but still possible.
The story will force players to not be totally inconsistent in their decisions, but there are more options than totally straightforward paths.

Since I sometimes enjoy doing unimportant things, I decided to give names to the chapters of my VN.

Chapter 1: Zing, Boom, Tararrel
Chapter 2: From Dusk Till Brunch
Chapter 3, Part 1: The Lion, the Witch and the Box
Chapter 3, Part 2: I Know What You Did Last Century

The names of the following chapters will come later.
If you have nothing to do, I have a little quiz for you:
Try to make sense of the title of chapter 1.

It's a hard quiz. The solution is not at all straightforward and is loosely related to what happened to Jane at the beginning of the first chapter and what Dana experienced in her high school years.
If you think you know the answer, send me a private message.

The first person to find an answer that is good enough will be rewarded with a render on demand.
I'll work out the details of the scene with the winner.
The render may include nudity or an erotic scene with girls from my VN, but not hardcore pornography.
The result will then be publicly available.

Pump for LawfulLame
Any hint on when will the next update release?
My honest estimate is anything between a month and two.
But you know how bad I am with estimates. :D
Chapter 1 had around 200 renders, Chapter 2 had around 500, and Chapter 3 (the first part) currently has 580 renders. I would say about 100 more renders to do.

There are also some renders from chapter 3 where I want to change the light and shaders (wet skin) because my overall impression wasn't good, but that's a routine job and the rendering on my new hardware is pretty fast.
And there are about 20 renders from chapter 1 that I need to fix: but again, a pretty quick routine.
i was hoping so bad this game would not have been abandoned ... it was the 1st ghost type game i really liked :)
It's not abandoned, I'm just very slow.

There is still quite a bit of work to be done before the next update is ready.
But most of the stuff for about half of the next update will be completed soon. The second half of the next update, which contains more branching, requires more work to complete.

I'm looking for people for proofreading + playtesting the first half of next update.
This part doesn't contain much lewd stuff, but there's quite a lot of story.

What is the purpose of this testing? To look for plot holes, typos, or phrases that sound strange to you.
I'm not a native English speaker, so I understand that my writing style can often sound a bit strange and unnatural. But I can't change my whole style. Just focus on the lines that sound the strangest in the context of the rest of the text, or the ones that don't make sense to you.

This version is not intended for the general public. I just want to give enough time to test what is almost done. (Pretty much everything, except for a few extra renders that will be added to this part of the story in the final version of the update).
This first half of the next update could be ready for testing in a week or two.
If you are interested, please contact me.

I'll check your publicly visible history on F95zone a bit, because I don't want this WIP version to leak to the general public.

Guys, I've decided to change the look of MC's dick. My wife plays this VN too, so I can't let the MC have a bigger dick than me.
Another reason is that I didn't really like the original look, even though it looked more realistic.

Because it hasn't been seen much yet, there's not a lot of scenes to re-render.

You can see it here in one scene from chapter 1.

LMAO lawfullame

new lookslike strapon.
I don't know, it looks like a dick to me. Maybe it's the light in the last pictures.
But I admit that dicks are not the part I pay the most attention to in adult movies....when I watch them for science from time to time.

But no more dick pics for a while. It already feels gay making renders like this.

I guess it's understandable for a guy to spend his life working out his anger when he has unlimited sexual access to Barbie (and friends!) but can only consummate your mutual lust by numbly rubbing together insensate rounded plastic bulges.

You are thinking of the wrong Ken. Master Ken is an 11th degree Black Belt in Ameri-Do-Te ( ).
