This also means no chapter 12 till 2024...Summary:
- April 6 Update: 6 lewd scenes left to write
- April 29 Update: writer's block about writing two particular scenes
- May 16 Update: 3 lewd scenes left to write
It looks like a July/August release.
Yeah—when Eva goes quiet for longer periods (and it's very rare that it's more than two weeks), it's usually because she's struggling with the writing or working hard to get the final pieces to fit together, and ends up not prioritizing updating Patreon. Considering the previous status update it was likely that it was a mix of both.
I think we're in the last week of June at the end of the Chapter 11 Prologue, and the beach house is not due before August. So I and others have guessed that we'll have one or two more chapters before that. But four new backgrounds is more than usual, so maybe that's an indication that it'll happen already in the next chapter? If they'll go there, you'd likely need both a living room, at least one bedroom, and an exterior background—either a pool or the beach or something similar.
That's not obvious yet—it's possible, but way too early to say for certain. What is obvious, is that it's just dumb to claim that it would mean it's "one chapter per year". It would be one chapter in 2023, not per year. If it's released in June/July, which seems likely at this point, it's one chapter per seven months (with one mini chapter during that time as well), just like it was with the last update. But for some reason I suspect you'll find a way to disagree, and I don't have high hopes for the logic behind it.It is obvious that chapter 11 will be the only one released this year, so one chapter per year.

Of course, this is not good news, we are unlikely to see an update in June, given the written release window, it is likely to be shifted to July, but at least the work is moving and there is not much left to complete.You must be registered to see the links
Hi guys,
This week has been rather rough and I've been having trouble progressing with the writing. It's been hard to focus and sort out all the complex variations in any given scene but, most of all, it's the pressure of development that's being hard to handle. I would've liked to be done with the update by now, and the longer I take to release it, the harder the pressure gets; dealing with long development cycles can really wear you down, especially when there's so much moving pieces and interconnected tasks to take care of. Thankfully I have help with the art and coding, but managing and coordinating people is not that easy and it's not something I have a knack for.
Not everything is bad news though; I've continued to work in the art and that's almost done. We've been also working in implementing a text messaging screen, since the display method that I had been using so far felt really lackluster. We have the screen working, now we have to implement it. I think it will add a lot to the immersion and overall presentation of the game.
Also, the 3 new backgrounds are done, and I'll add a fourth one, so quite a few new places to visit in this chapter. Any guesses?
Regarding the writing, I have left 3 major lewd scenes to write. Once I manage to push through those, I'll need to ensamble the chapter together, make sure everything works and then it'll be ready, so hopefully the release isn't far away. I really need to get this chapter out.
I understand if some of you are disappointed, and I thank the ones who keep supporting the development patiently. Status reports aren't coming out as consistently as they should, but I struggle to write them when I can't share good news, and I'm trying to save my mental energy to focus on the game itself. However, I'm happy that I can start showing some of the work that's been going on for the past few months. Again, thank you so much for your backing of this project, and I'll try to publish a chapter that keeps elevating the experience, even if I'm struggling more than I'd like to do it. My promise is to not disappoint you, and that's what I'm working towards.
I mean, yeah, but there are multiple choices in that scene which leads me to believe there will be a big reveal surrounding it. Or at least something that comes out of it. Why give the option for Lena to choose how old she think Holly is if it's just a one and done scene.
You can point out that a dev is milking their supporters without you yourself being subject to the milking. A wrong is wrong even if it's not done to you.
Holly had already told Lena how old she was before, if you choose the right age your Lena gains +1 wits, pick the wrong one and you don't. It is just gameplay.
Yes, and it's fair to point out something that is inherently wrong. But, and hear me out here, what some might consider milking, is different from what others might. A site in which the vast majority of the user base does not put money towards a project, doesn't seem like a productive place to have a conversation about a dev milking their supporters.
Very much this!
I estimate the member you answered with your post is one of those people popping up in (unfortunately) ever greater numbers who only go by who say/does something, not listening what is said or done!
