August is more of the Summer Fun variety (since it's still Summer in my hemisphere [sorry folks on the other side of the equator]). These wallpapers are a variation on the sunbathing scene from Chapter Seven, except played up for a bit more sexy fun.
Just me, right now. I tend to use "we" and "us" in reference to the development house (ILSProductions) as opposed to just myself. Purley a habit picked up from doing copywriting for other business ventures.
Still plugging away. About 2/3rds of the way through the update, if the database can be believed. In terms of workload, Chapter Eight is pretty lengthy, purely because of how many of the scenes have variants based on previous choices and the girls' stats. Also, there is a conversation that can happen at different times/locations based on player choice with differing reactions from Carol and Naomi.
The last third is going to be a pretty extensive build, so I figure between that and the inevitable reshoots/rewrites, I'll be deep in the work for the next week or two before I have an alpha build.
One technical change for 0.08.0: Based on feedback, there have been some minor tweaks to the way text is rendered. Name tags and body text now have a drop shadow (see top picture below - left is original, right is new). Also, I've added an outline for the red name text so that it's a bit more readable (or at least I hope it is). While the example below (bottom picture) may not be great, there are a couple spots in the game where the red text becomes a little difficult to read.
Link text in the game--which is also red--has been changed to a different color to make it more legible.
Also, while it won't make it into 0.08.0, I'm looking into re-encoding some of the animations to improve their clarity. In the effort to

for android players, I had to run the videos through one too many conversions. Boring technical explanation aside, I'm looking to reconvert the current animations to update them over the next few releases (as times permits).

What I consider rewrites/reshoots are purely part of the editing process for a current chapter being developed once I get scenes into a playable state. Whether it's adding screens in for better pacing or because when I see them in action, certain images/animations look off. For example, in chapter seven I reshot the entire dream sequence with Naomi because I didn't like the lighting (the background was too bright, she was too dark).
Script-wise, it's done to improve word usage or to make sure the story stays in line with the characters as they exist at that point. A couple of times, I actually threw out part of a scene because it came across as feeling false, character-wise.
So, this is mostly just part of the regular creation process.

, here are a couple of WIP teasers for #screenshotsaturday:
Also, fun fact time: While I still have the huge end sequence (plotted out as three scenes) to do, Chapter Eight is currently a hundred lines of code shorter than the entirety of Chapter Seven.

This isn't just porn, is actually good. You could honestly take the lewd out and I might still just play it for the plot and romance. Fantastic and can't wait for more. The little jokes hit great too.

I just read through comments and wow... So much hate at Naomi after the update. Dev you handled that like a champ... I don't understand the backlash though, she was always into the MC. Also if MC gets to have fun with other girls, why not have the two best friends be able to do the same? She's not going to bang Carol with a giant dildo or anything...

There's literally no one hating on Naomi, people just don't like her as much as Carol (obviously). Also I don't think there was any "backlash", I don't know where you got that from.

Because Carol is not into girls? So it wouldn't make sense for them to have fun with each other. But tbh there's plenty games where girl says she's not into girls and next update she's diving into pussy left and right. I hope this is not the case though, makes it more believable.

I like Naomi and she was love with the Mc nearly as long as Carol, only difference is she was more flirty with him, though i don't think she is a slut (maybe thats what some are thinking), i didn't see a backlash or hate for Naomi though.
For the second part about Carol+Naomi, simply please no...
I would really like to see a game which has a polyamorous relationship where the women are straight for once...
Finding straight women in a game which has harem or polyamorous relationships, is like the search for the mythical UMA or bigfoot...
