Hey Loopers! I'm trying to be as active as possible about the game, but all I can say is we are reaching much closer to the update. I'll hit you guys with some facts, but first; I want to thank you guys a little harder than usual today, by saying thank you guys for the excessive support, patience, and faith in us through these harsh times. The most important thing right now is we aren't giving up, and I'm excited to get this out to you.

Render wise we are working on the three biggest scenes of the update, and have a couple more after that. I believe besides the big scenes, we don't have many more important scenes after that. While that may sound concerning, our work output is much higher than it has been the past few months. Since the last update, we got 4 scenes done render wise. That's definitely an improvement from the past updates, and I hope we can keep this up!
1000010351.png
Writing wise, we have one last scene to write. I've already started outlining the next update and Krash is getting a bunch of the resources ready. I also think you guys would like to know that we are in the process of reskinning/fixing up a few of our models- mc and the main 4 (not counting Winter). They won't be applied this update but we are setting them up for the next update.

For our new cast, welcome Pax as our new coder! Some of you probably know the dude, and I am super excited to work with him. I'm learning Daz, as well as learning things so Krash doesn't have near as much shit to do, and am probably going to focus hard on lighting soon, which I think is the most important thing that I need to learn. I'm lucky to have a ton of people around who will help me through this process, in order to bring you guys more content!

Music and SFX wise, I'm constantly looking for more music to add to the soundtrack. As a former musician, my perfectionist side comes out when looking for fitting music. Finding royalty free music with lyrics has been a tough process, and asking artists to use their song has been a pretty fruitless project, but I think I've got quite a few bangers lined up for the next update, including a band that you've heard in another, very popular AVN.

Alright Loopers, I had more to say this release! I try to keep it as real as possible because you guys only deserve the truth from me, but the truth is I would never keep up this project if I didn't have faith that I could surpass y'alls expectations. The struggle is worth it (for me) to see this project come to life, and I thank yall for being on this journey with me.

That's it! See y'all soon!

I've seen quite a few people say this, but most change their mind after playing the game. Some people don't even see the similarities tbh

It looks like an identical model with different hair tbh. The white haired lady and pink haired lady are the best imo simply because it looks like more effort went into those characters

Lampy has said a few times that both Autumn and Haru (pink hair) were two models that he found that he absolutely loved and didn't want to change too much because he adored their base model. A lot more work went into these than you'd think even if they had the base model

"What's up Loopers! I've personally been seeing a lot of lost enthusiasm recently for the game, with a lot of people dropping off the hype train, but looks like we are closing in on the release. We have 2 scenes left to go on the render end, and all the writing is done. I'll go more into details further in the devlog, but just be excited that the second release is **finally** reaching the end of its development!
Before we get to the devlog, though, I'd like to tell you about our favorite sponsor, Dr. Fapper! Dr. Fapper has been the chosen drink for many citizens since it first released back in the 1800s. Patented by an actual Doctor- Doctor Greg- he devised the Fapper formula through scientific trial and error in order to create a drink you can enjoy anywhere. Enjoy a Fapper with your family! Crank out a Fapper at the big game! You can even take out a Fapper at the courthouse during your trial for manslaughter! When we say anywhere, we mean anywhere.
"Dr. Fapper. It's fapping delicious."

Thank you, Dr. Fapper, for sponsoring! Now, onto the newest devlog!

In terms of renders, two of our heaviest scenes got knocked out; Autumn and Haru's "dates". I put that in quotes because they're less dates, and more hangouts, but dates are what I've been calling them. The main four will move slower than the side crew- some even slower than the others- and they won't have actual "dates" for at least a couple updates.
The events that we finished for this update take place in 2 different places, one new, and one very familiar. Autumn's takes place in the ELU swimming pool, where the energetic minx attempts to claim a spot on the college team. On the other end of the IQ scale, we have Haru, taking MC to the library, challenging him to take a dive into the world of books. Along with a returning setting, we also have one very familiar face returning, and another face that may seem familiar to fans of another game!
1000019766.png
In terms of writing, not much else to be said. Everything is done besides rewrites. I imagine we are going to have to spend a little more time beta testing this release because it is much bigger script-wise than the last. When I say it's something like 40k words, I'm not including fluff there- it IS like 40k words. I have become more of a yapper since the first release, though, and the script may reflect that. I am a lot more proud of the writing this release, though, beuse I feel like I've started coming in to my own.
1000019765.png
In terms of sound, I actually had a couple more bands get back to me, and 2 of them actually allowed the usage of their music for the game! On top of that, I won't fully unload the entire news of this, but from the start of the game, I had always wanted Winter (who, if you didn't know, is a rising pop star) to have songs in the game, sung and made by real people. It seems like this dream is coming true! No more details yet!
1000019725.png
For those who also have seen the new Patreon tiers we have lined up, we will not be releasing those until this next release is ready. I'm going to have to think about whether it's better to unravel the new tiers side by side with the new release, or to put them out there after the $5 tier release is out. If you have any ideas, let me know.
Thanks again, Loopers! Release is coming really soon!

Last Devlog of R2! (hopefully)

"Before anything else; there is no NTR in the game, for MC or any of our girls. MC is not getting stolen from Winter in the pic. "Well then, what emotion is she feeling", you may ask? Wait til the release to find out!

Hey Loopers! I've just entered the testing phase of Release 2. That doesn't mean that beta testing is ready yet- at the moment its just me, checking which renders need to be fixed, lines that need redone, adding sfx and music, etc. Since Krash is unavailable, I've been testing on my own, and honestly, it's a LOT... but its kind of fun. I've had to learn random aspects of coding and figuring out stuff on my own isn't bad.

Since our progress is getting a lot closer, instead of talking about any progress, I'd rather bring up a few announcements/changes that are going to be made!

SFW Mode is gone… for now. Due to a bunch of issues with the release so far, I kind of figured it'd be in our best interest to get rid of SFW for now. It may be brought back in the future, but don't count on it. I know it wasn't a popular feature or anything, but it was something I was excited about. Just too much going on!

With this upcoming release, I've made the decision to turn the prologue into a "demo". For this, it will be released for free, with the new release still being the $5 price. I'm really sorry if this upsets anyone who bought the game. If there's an issue, please dm me about it. I just have to make a decision I think will be very healthy for the game going forward… and this is something I think will help the game and the community a lot, to have some aspect of it free.

Speaking of prices, I recently released an update on our Patreon prices. Here's the update:

. I also want to emphasize; every tier beyond $5 is a LUXURY tier. You are not obligated to support us beyond your original purchase; we are thankful enough you support us in any capacity.

I don't have a lot more to say right now, because there's not much of an update I can give in detail. It's testing time. I also elected to only use one picture for this devlog, because I want you guys to be able to experience our best shots on your own. I will say, the last few scenes ended up being my favorite visually, for sure.

We are so excited to bring it to you guys soon. Thankful for all the support- just knowing you guys are waiting for the next release made this crazy development worth it.

P.S. I have a special NSFW teaser image in the discord!"
