Chapter 9 took roughly 5 months. The game's getting gradually more complex, and Eva also took some time off during summer. She's also been struggling with burnout lately. Currently they're doing a rework of the first 9 chapters (some new art, and reworking some scenes and storylines), after that they'll release the game on Steam and get to work on chapter 10.
So we're looking at a 5+ month wait for chapter 10 more than likely

Wonder if we are getting character cards back later this year so that people don't eat their own limbs waiting for ch10. I need Stan's card to complete my collection, I'm willing to trade it for a "Pot of Greed".

I know Minerva was left in the dust after the last female character poll, but I hope that doesn't result in Eva diminishing or outright cutting her character. I'm genuinely interested to see what direction the more romantic route goes and whether another opportunity to get with her would appear in the future if you avoid conflict at your job.

Another point (and it's probably just me), was anyone else slightly disappointed that Seymour showed his hand in the latest chapter? I was expecting this development to occur maybe another chapter or two down the line after some more teasing and Seymour testing the waters, seeing just how far he can push Lena in a future photo shoot. I was half-expecting another dream sequence in which Lena explicitly chooses between Axel or Seymour as to where her affections lie.

Maybe Eva felt guilty about the length of time between updates, hence why many developments that would've benefited story-wise from being given more time to expand have felt a tad rushed.
im actually one of the people that REALLY like Minerva, I love the whole sexually frustrated office milf thing she has going on, and I really want to see more options/fleshed out romance with her in the story tbh. Work up a deep romance/deep corruption with her, corrupt Lena and make it so Minerva and Ian ride off to live their new life/or Ian keeps fucking Minerva while shes married but she keeps changing her style for him, like changing her hair color or getting a tramp stamp or a boobjob etc all because he told her to/wants her to or something while Lena and friends get bimbofied and raw dogged by every man in the city

The dual protagonists make this game more complex than it should be, and since EK is the sole dev, further updates will take even longer when accounting for the various paths the game already has (not counting any potential body variations, eg the tattoos for Lena). She has been building up this game, but I feel like it will come crashing down in the end like GGGB (which became a cheesy and hilarious fuck fest near the end).
EK said that she expects the game to have 20-25 episodes, which is too long when taking into consideration the update frequency and game complexity (not mentioning that futher updates get watered down due to branching paths). She is feeling burnout, and it will only increase when going forward. IMO she should wrap the game up by episode 14-15, and focus on a more 'simpler' game with a single protagonist (eg -Most people did not play the 'good' path in GGGB anyway, so why not make a game where the protagonist is already corrupted, and build from there?)

The game would've lost so much appeal with an already corrupted Ashley. "The joy is not in the slut alone, but the journey she takes in getting there." - Henry David Thoreau.

If you're mainly in it for the corruption, it's about the journey, not the destination. But a sweet spot and something that's rarely-done could be a game where you play as an intentional female corruptor. I can think of a few, mostly text-based and/or anime, but from EK, this could be amazing.

I have to agree with the others; starting the game at a point where the protagonist has gone through the most significant character development doesn’t sound like a good idea. I think the quality of GGGB dropped towards the end — particularly on the bad girl paths — because there weren’t many new situations to put Ashley in.

And while the current update frequency suggests there will be many years until the game is finished, I think wrapping it up in only 5–6 more chapters would significantly affect the quality and the internal logic of the story. Most of the relationships and the development of character traits and kinks are just getting started, and it has taken nine chapters to just build up important storylines like Seymour’s. If all of that have to play out and be wrapped up in half of the planned time or less, I suspect the game simply won’t be half as good as it promises to be.

Hello everyone,

first of all I wanted to thank you for your responses on my last post. I was surprised by the amount of good will and understanding from your part, and I deeply appreciate it. Some of you said I shouldn't suspend charges for this next month, but I really feel it's the right thing to do and I had already made the choice before writing about it. I've already activated the billing pause for this month, and this is what Patreon says about it:

"Your active patrons will not be billed on March 1. Billing will resume on April 1. If you have Charge Up Front enabled, new patrons that sign up will be charged."

Now, onto the good news! After my last post I've been feeling better, both physically and mentally. I no longer have any COVID symptoms and I've been going back to my usual work output. Right now I'm focusing on finishing all the new assets that I want to incorporate and I've almost completed all the tweaks and new scenes I wanted to add to the current 9 chapters. I get new ideas that I think would really improve the current content and state of the game, but I have to draw the line at some point and settle for good enough instead of perfect, so that's where I am now.

All that's left is to revamp chapter 1, color some of the new artwork, and make sure all the changes are consistent and the game is bug-free, so hopefully we can get everything done soon, move onto the Steam release and swiftly into chapter 10.

I've been keeping away from social platforms to help myself get back my focus and knock over all the tasks I have to take care directly, so I apologize for the lousy communication. I'll make to keep you posted with consistent development news until the new update is out. Thanks again for your trust and support!
