Well fuck me this is a really pleasant surprise. I'm impressed! Visually it's feels original and cute. The story is somewhat entertaining and even the MC is likeable.

I'm not sure how things are gonna progress in the future. I see that "your choice shape the story" but I'm wondering if there's gonna be one route per girl and it's gonna stay a bit romantic or if you're gonna be able to bang several of them at the same time. I mean, we already get to have sex with more than one girl but, and I may sound like an old fashioned stuck up dweeb here but "cheating" on our official girlfriend Nina would make me feel guilty. Especially since she doesn't seem like the type of person who'd be into that.

That's the whole problem with making me care about the girl in a personal sense. I wouldn't mind dating of fucking any of them. Just, you know, not being a cheater and going to see other people behind my current girlfriend's back.

Not sure if I'm remembering this right or not (really hope I am), but I'm pretty sure the way you end up with Nina at the end of the current build is more of just a demo / teaser thing.

IIRC (and again, I could be wrong here) I swear I remember reading somewhere that in future versions of the game some of the choices we've encountered already will have slightly different results that can lead us on to other girl's paths. And, of course, new paths will open up later in scenes that aren't in the game yet as well.

Kind of like we're just locked in to the Nina route for the moment in order to whet our appetite and give us a taste of the kind of content we can expect to come from this game.


Really liked Melissa's development/story line so far myself so it'll be kind of cool to see how much more danger the MC is willing to drag himself through before she really accepts him.

Would also love to see more of Kate as well since we still don't really know much about her aside from her being the popular sporty girl who likes having fun in the locker room.

was legit blown away by this, wasn't expecting so much from something in its '0.1' phase, it is already better than some fully released games, art style is different to the typical 3dcg style which is a welcome reprieve, other than some spelling mistakes (of which there are few and not very damaging to the scene at all) and some tweaks to the character models in certain poses there isn't anything i can fault this on, extremely excited for future installments and hoping this gets continued :D

Yeah. Totally agree with you on that. Awesome story so far, but some minor inconsistencies/typos with the writing (mostly in the beginning from what I saw). And some of the poses did seem rather awkward looking. A few times I couldn't help but notice that when the girls bent their arms they seemed to flatten out at the elbows kind of like a pipe that has been bent too far.
Also that one scene where Nina trades faces with 2-D from the Gorillaz, but that one was intentionally awkward. lol


Still, minor grievances aside, great game.

It lives!! The dev is back on the air with some interesting news about Offcuts. Even though he's mentioned temporarily suspending his Patreon, you can still give him your support here and there, regardless of cash...

News and updates

This month has been a busy one, so here are some of the more important points:
* Discord open! Too see how to access it, here is a link to the . Let me know here if you have any problems, I don't have that much experience with it. And try not to troll too much so I don't have to use the banhammer!

* Due to tax reasons (and to play it safe) I will temporarily suspend my Patron for a few days at the end of this month. I'll do this until I receive a confirmation from my country's tax administration. Bureaucracy can be hellish in here. In short, this month (July) should not be billed from anyone. And if the tax department is slow enough (it's summer vacation time in here) next month might be free too. And if things get too complex I might just keep doing this without Patreon, this is more like a fun hobby to me anyway. So don't worry if my Patreon page goes to suspended mode for a few days. I will still be working with this game as usual.

* The writing turned out to be a bit longer than I thought, currently it's about 20 000 words to finish Ninan's route and 60 000 words to complete Melissa's. And of course dozens of new images. We can talk more on Discord and see what people would like to see more in the future: more adult action or story.

* Nina route release date estimate: 6.8.2018 (for 10$ tier, three days later to everyone else)

* Melissa route release date estimate: 15.8.2016 (for 10$ tier, three days later to everyone else)

* Vote for 5$ tier or above about what route should be done next.

* Blender 2.8: EEVEE real-time rendering engine for much faster renders and animations. Currently this version of Blender is in alpha and it's very buggy, but once it stabilizes this will make rendering images and animations a lot faster. Quality might not be equal to more time-consuming methods, but it can still be good enough for my purposes. I'll be posting images for comparison once I manage to tweak the system to match my content pipeline.

* A huge backlog of images currently in the pipeline. Do people like (almost) daily image posts to Patron or is it too "spammy"?

In stencilbits we trust!
Glad to hear that he wont relent, and judging by the post above we will get large updates soon. Keep up the good work.

Once he gets 0.2 up, it will all level out. He's got more in 0.1 than many games 5 updates in, but the 0.1 will haunt him until he gets past it.

Yeah, his 0.1 really laid down a ton of groundwork. If 0.2 even has a 3rd of the content that 0.1 did, it'll still be robust.

the plan for 0.2 was to replace the dialog models for ones closer to the ones in unique scenes if I'm not mistaken

good to know that the new version is almost ready, can't wait for more

That was the longest "demo" I have ever played. And I have played computer games for nearly 3 decades. Wow.

The concept of this game is great. The "hi-res" renders of the girls look amazing (if only Alice wasn't looking like someone suffering from annorexia). Would love to see more of that.

The story and writing is also really good. My only complaint is, that the MC in this game has to be the most dense idiot MC in all of porn game history, lol. Girls throwing themselves at him left and right and the fool doesn't care at all. At times this had me cringe a little.

unlike everyone else, you seem to be the one person where this comment went over your head XD

1. I am not being a twat. also really? out of the two comments you have ever made in your year of being on this board, one was to call someone a twat..... bit hypocritical if you ask me.

2. even if I was it would have been deserved cause by the standards that I am being a twat, the person I am responding to would also be a twat.

3. a common saying for when someone looks at something and doesn't see something or misses a detail, like I dunno not seeing the way the body is place? is to respond or comment "you have eyes but you do not see." which I believe originated from the Bible if you are that interested in the origin of the phrase. another saying that is similar but for hearing instead is "you hear but you do not listen." or "hearing but not listening." it's one of those.

4. fun fact time, most of what you see is just built of memory (unless everything is new) and so it is very easy to have eyes and not see as a lot of the time we are not really looking. just give this video a watch and you will see my point (warning though the test don't work if you have already seen it):

anyway if you wish to call me other names, or argue with on something or whatever, click my name or icon, then start a conversation, then fire away. there is no need to clutter this thread if we are gonna have a back and forth sort of thing.

I kept my comment here because the main subject of my comment would be interesting to some and adds context for future people who go through the thread reading month or even year old comments then adding their own 2 cents on something that has lost its importance.

This is fucking great, continue it please
looking at the patreon there was supposed to be an update on the 6th of this month, but seeing the issues they have been having I would wager, this month or next for the next update. Pretty sure they will keep working on it since it seems to be one of those "I make it because I enjoy it." things instead of a cashgrab. (hence the first version being so long)
