Sorry for the all quiet. A couple of updates to go over with everyone. I'm hard at work on Chapter 2 of On The Mountain Top. Had a bit of a creative dry spell for a bit (for more information you can keep reading through the section below before running off). I am about 50% of the way done on this update. Currently working on one of the first intimacy scenes right now. I'm going for something more low key, sweet and realistic. I hope it will resonate with folks playing the game that relationship progressions are more natural. A couple of small, but significant life moments occur in this chapter. Including first day being a college teacher in the classroom and first day on the job as the local park ranger. The music is coming along nicely. I have a couple more full songs completed as well as over ten background music tracks. I'm going to try like hell to have this ready for release in mid-April. I'd like to again apologize to people who have messaged me. I'm still a socially averse, weirdo who gets scared every time I get a message and so avoid it for weeks so I don't get even more weird than I already am. I'm truly sorry. Thank you for sending your comments and I'll try and be brave this weekend and read them.
If all you care about is OTMT, then this update is done.

Now, for a big old truth bomb. I put so much into the release of Chapter 1 that I was a little frazzled. So, I took a short creative break and worked on something else for a bit. I made a huge tactical error and got pretty engrossed into it for about four weeks. I had to physically smack myself and get my brain back onto OTMT. So, here's where it gets dicey. What was Professor Amethyst working on? Well, it's another game. Or as I call it, a Professor Amethyst Vignette. Since, it's not really a big production game like OTMT is. It's mostly a way for me to process something that happened in my life a few years back that still has me pretty messed up. And no, what happens in this game did NOT actually happen to me. But the emotions in it are things I struggle with. I have put the new game on hold for now. It's almost ready for an initial release, but after that it will be on the back burner for awhile. Because OTMT is my big focus.
So, what is this vignette I speak of? It's a visual novel called "Love and Jealousy" .
Every single one of you will hate this game. So, do not get excited about it. Hate really isn't a strong enough word to be honest. It is 100% ai cg for the characters. The only thing rendered are the backgrounds. It's done in a very traditional visual novel format. Which makes it easy to make and the only truly creative part of the game is the writing and the character's personalities. Even worse it's an NTR game (stop panicking and keep reading you big baby). No, not like ANY other NTR game out there. Let's be honest, when most human beings think about an NTR game all we think of is yelling at the MC to leave that bitch and move on with his/her life. The MC is always a weak moron, stupid or worse. What if that wasn't the case? What if the MC was not a moron? What if they were not happy about NTR happening? What if the main love interest wasn't either? What if the two main characters are struggling with mental health issues and are trying to find a way to repair the damage of the past? How does a person cope with being forced to face something uncomfortable that really hurts? How does a person actually get over that pain? What if it's a game that doesn't punish the MC for being in multiple relationships as part of that healing process? What if the whole concept of a girl getting dicked down and becoming a mindless sex slave wasn't real? Because it fucking isn't. NTR games are so god damn dumb.
If you've never played an NTR game because you don't think you could handle it, or because it's too painful or too horrifying to actually try? This would be the one for you. It's not about a perfect little wife/gf slowly being corrupted away from the MC. You don't lose your girl in this game. You don't pass her around like a cheap sex doll while you hide in the closet and stroke your two inch penis. It has NONE of that in the game. So, how does the game work? Well, you can try it if you're feeling brave, or maybe had a little too much to drink or downed a couple edibles. Or maybe more importantly, if you're having depression, overwhelming jealousy, get trapped inside your head all the time, or serious heart ache issues in your life and want to experience something that may or may not help you process some of that, then maybe give it a go.
This game will not appeal to normal NTR fans. It simply isn't written for them. So, this leaves me with a dilemma. An NTR game that is written for people who hate NTR is stupid because they won't play the game. And people who do like traditional NTR games will hate it because it has literally none of the shit they like . That leaves like one dude on F95 who might actually play it. And the odds of him finding it are slim. So, I'm effectively making a game for nobody.
I did it, because I needed to. I needed to write it. I have some shit to process okay people. That's all I got. I'm sorry I let it delay OTMT. Not sure if I'll release Love and Jealousy on Patreon. Because I know damn well that none of you are going to play it. So, I'm thinking of just throwing it on F95 in about a week. I don't know. I'll figure it out. Talk to everyone next month for OTMT Chapter 2.
Sorry I'm so damn awkward.
