so wait, it's been close to 11 months since the first release? hum... that's a bit concerning =/
Lampys been really open about development issues. he works with a team but that actually led to way more problems than he thought, so he said hes taking much more responsibility and not relying on others

Hey, whoa, whoa. "Relying on others" sounds bad, because they've all been fantastic, working on a game with rev share, and not getting paid much a month.

I made the mistake of forcing them to be the ones relied on, when as a leader, I should be the one relied on. I haven't even taken Patreon money as payment (except for this last month when I was very sick and needed to pay for medicine) and split all the projects Patreon money berween them, and the itch money mainly to my animator, and I still feel that wasn't enough to cover everything theyve done

We've had so many issues with file management, people disappearing, interfering work schedules, life, and mishires. These are mistakes I am hoping to erase in the future by taking over the second artist spot, learning art and coding, working much harder and faster, and by being much more hands on.

Trust me, I've hated every second of this update being late. And a big portion of it was also me. But I'm ready to take these experiences and learn from them and in turn make the project even better from here on out.

as long as my health issues dont get worse- I developed a NEW issue in this past week lmao- and I work hard enough we should have a much steadier release time.

I got in touch with a professional in the music industry and consulted with him about making a song for Once Again, and not only did he agree, he thought it would be even better to make a video out of it.

Check it out! Your first listen of this version of The NPC's song for our game, written from Winters perspective

I've been updating chat daily in my if anyones interested.

Right now im waiting for one of my team (Krash) to finish editing some images. He's currently working his real life job though, with a crazy schedule, and he's put more work into this update than all of us, so no slander towards him is allowed because he's the goat

We are just waiting on the edited renders though, then we will implement the cans/gallery (already prepped, just need to code in the buttons), and then I'll do one more test just for errors to make sure our bugs didn't cause more bugs, and then we'll get ready for release. (I have the release post and stuff prepped so that won't take long at all)

there probably wont be a "game coming out at this date" announcement bc we've felt so awful about the wait that, as announced before, we won't be doing early releases in tiers. So just keep an eye out for the release

Also, the beta testers left some great reviews about this release, which at least makes me feel better about the wait time. Big thanks to them for the beta testing, they did awesome, pointing out a lot of issues we missed.

Will keep you guys updated!

It's finally here!!! Now introducing… *Once Again* Chapter 1!
1000031295.png

Hey Loopers! This release has been absolute hell to get out, with so many mistakes, issues, and errors. I'm very happy we are finally able to deliver it to you, with no further delays. Due to the delays (as well as with consent from Patreon members)we decided to release Chapter 1 as five dollars for all- and as a bonus, the prologue will be available for free as a demo.
1000031297.png

Speaking of the prologue, one piece of bad news from this update is that due to reworking the stat system a bit, the saves from the prologue are not compatible with the new release, meaning you will have to play the prologue again. :( Fortunately, as Zult in my server said, "That's just skipping over 5 minutes of content", so I don't think it will be much of an issue for you guys. So, rev up those control keys, gamers! **Also, as well as saves, another thing has been removed for those who haven't seen it; "persistent_alternate" content is now gone. Even before the whole Itch/PayPal debacle, I've been thinking it was messing with the story I was trying to tell, so I wanted it removed.**

1000031299.png


Another big thing I want to say is that this update is still going to feel more "Slice of Life" over thriller, or mystery, or anything of the like. The mystery is still going to be there, and will advance, but this update (and the next) will have a lot to do with meeting the characters, getting used to them, and just having fun; in the background, however, a lot of pieces will fall together. While I cannot 100% say I have EVERYTHING about this story planned out, I do have a lot of the major story beats planned out.** This also means a lot of the things in the story you may view as "weird" or "off" may be that way on purpose. This doesn't excuse instances where my writing isn't great; but I think you may be able to pick up on small, strange things, or even draw your own conclusions. I'd love to see your guys' theories on the story and characters!**

1000031296.png

**And lastly, I know this release has taken a long time, and like I said there were many mistakes; however, these are mistakes I do not intend to repeat, and would like to learn from this release instead of mentally drowning in my mistakes. I apologize for the wait, big time, and you guys have been amazing in terms of support, and I'm lucky to have fans and friends like you guys.**

Here's some info about this release!
- 31000+ words added!
- 1300+ renders added!
- 10 animations!
- A lot of songs, including more music from artists with vocals!
- A lot of sfx, including the Vine boom and metal pipe! (somehow royalty free)
- 17 Gallery Images! (Find the Dr Fapper Cans) (2 will only appear if trans is enabled)
- More characters, More mystery, and more Once Again!
Also, some new features we introduced:
- Bios for each character. You can access these by clicking on their profile pictures when you receive their number. There's a lot to find out about these characters, from age, to height, to even their biggest fears.
- Side girl events!
- Can turn off the music track names in options.

I've been stressing out about this update for the past 11 months, and I'm so so happy to finally be able to release it to you guys. You can get it on our Patreon, on Itch.io, and will soon be available on Oppaiman! And now, Loopers- the moment of ease is over, and it is time to stress out about release 3.

I hope you guys enjoy this update! Feel free to join our discord and report what you guys think, or chat with likeminded members about AVNs, memes, and other dumb stuff!

Nothing to be found in the original posting, nothing to be found here in the whole thread and nothing to be found in any review...
Therefore one question: Is the futa-stuff avoidable? Thanks in advance!

Wincest? Futa/Trans? Heck yeah!
Hopefully the trans is romancable.
There seems to be a couple/few LIs that are trans and are totally optional content.

Thanks... Would be reasonable to mention stuff like this somewhere, at least within the genre/tag-List...
Futa/Trans is totally optional, both by disabling it in settings and during the intro, and by avoiding it in the game by your choices during play.
