Dev Diary 81

TD here, coming off the top rope with a dev diary.

Currently Ch4Up5 sits at 2,091 statics, 61 animatons, and 39,152 words.

That means 226 statics, 10 animations, and 4,873 words have been added to the project since the last report.

Things are wrapping up with the big Kathleen scene for this update. The image work might be finished today or should be finished tomorrow. Either way, we'll be breaking ground on the big multi-character event that will be the final feather in the update's cap.

In other news, I've taken to learning some rudimentary video editing so that we can better integrate sound into our scenes. It's been a lot of fun! That's part of my love of developing an AVN; it asks a lot of different things from you and learning is its reward. But yeah... expect some nasty noises from our work with Kat.

Welp, I'll end it here.

Thank you so much for your interest and support.

That's Jessica from Ripples, right?

Yay, new numbers! TD already gave us the raw totals, but he and GIL have completed an average of roughly 75 statics, 3.3 animations and 1624 words per week since the last Dev Diary 21 days ago. Overall, that gives them an average of ~93 statics, 2.7 animations and 1746 words per week since work on Chapter 4 Update 5 began. Here are the charts for Week 22:

Spoiler: Still Charting Silently

Looks like we're approaching the final lap, though this is a big course so we still have a while to wait. But I'm very eager to see what hints we can get about this big multi-character extravaganza - and obviously to play it eventually, too. As for the improved sound effects, not going to lie, I'm pretty nervous about it. I rarely like sound effects in lewd scenes, and I just as rarely have the stomach for Kathleen's take on a lewd scene. So this could have some major squick potential. Still, you can't win them all; as long as they're hooked up to the sound sliders in the Settings menu, all will be will.

And now for a completely random aside. I opened the game's Settings menu while writing this, just verify the term used. While there I thought I accidentally clicked one of the buttons, at which point I realized I have no clue what the different 'Skip' buttons actually mean! That made it very hard to work out what I might have done.

Opening an older copy of the game, I realized that while the buttons themselves are the same, the labels they used to have were apparently removed when the image of the girls was enhanced. The original image was glaringly bright so the change was a good one, but could we get the labels back?

Not yet but that is the mother of all Damocles swords to have hanging over the MC, just waiting to drop. The MC was right when he said that neither he nor Hana are ready for a proper relationship and Ian was right when he said that when this doesn't work the MC would still have to work with Hana. So I figured it was the best for the MC to just promise to be there for her but to leave it as a open relationship than committing to being her boyfriend...it just seems like the best course of action for everyone.

I just finished the current update, and even when I told Felicia that Hana is my gf she said something like "that will probably go up in flames". Which I hope it doesn't mean that HANA will cheat or do something to the player because if so... she's getting bodied after all the good times I had to say no to.

 

[Deyn21]

brothel game, so the girls in the game are mostly prostitutes?

It's not brothel game. So no.

I don't think that it means that at all...but if you are on the paths for a bunch of the other girls the MC cheating on Hana is just about unavoidable and she will not take that well when she finds out...THAT will blow up in your face. Personally I would not give up on Mina for Hana, no way...plus I like the arrangement with Felicia too. I have no interest in the game starting to add up cheating points in the background for every time I fool around outside of the club.

it's a club where we have sharing content, right? pls no, thanks

Depends on how "cucky" about it you want be about it for lack of a better term.

Like girls on screen? (With no regards to if they have route) yes all but like 2-5 girls and at this point only 1 main girl you interact with are somehow involved in the club

Girls that are LI? Objectively no none of the LI are prostitutes whose normal job is to suck dick for cash.

Girls that are LI viewed from a less reasonable angle: 3 of the 5 (or 6) """""""main girls"''""'""" are prostitutes (being compensated to enter the sex club as a "willing participant")

Girls that are LI viewed from someone sadly fragile: every single one of the girls is a dirty whore, 3 are involved in the competition, 1 runs it, 1 is a bartender there (who even is forced to dress slutty! The whore!), and 1 basically lies to everyone she meets and wants to be "messed up sexually"!!!!1

Obviously feel free to play regardless of which camp you are in but the lower you go down the list the higher your chances of us shitting on you is (assuming you post about it)

If by "sharing" you mean, the love interests get fucked by other people, so far, the answer is no, there's a threesome you can have with one of the girls and your best friend, which you can choose if you want to do it or not.

Technically Killian can also fuck Rose instead of MC all on his own for the video, and the girl who loses competition in the first week gets to serve as a target of a bukkake party. Both are more or less avoidable, but they are there. Oh, and Edwin can have two MMFs with Killian: either with Rose or Felicia.

Oh, Edwin can also play wingman for Veronica and she winds up having sex with a random girl.

FWIW those are under sometimes up to 5 choices (have to be friends with Vero (which itself requires a fair amount of choices), have to want to hang out with her, have to decide to go to the club, have to decide to help her out instead of helping her and MC out)

Considering the type of people who need that question answered though that might as well be "FORCED CUCKTENT"

Edit: while not really sharing Hana (under player choice) can talk about her time with a famous musician and how she enjoyed it.....does that count for these people? I can't keep track of if stuff before the story counts or not

 

[ffive]

For some people, absolutely. Everything counts.

Oh I always forget about the Bukakke scene, I had my eyes on the Goth girl since I started, so I didn't see that scene in my first playthrough because I decided to go and hang out with Hana lol.

When you say killian can fuck rose you mean in the second exhibition right? I didn't count that because the player can just avoid that by being the one that fucks Rose.

And if he counts playing wingman for Veronica for her to smash a cute girl as "sharing", when Veronica isn't even our GF, then he'll prob won't enjoy the game anyway lol. (All of this can also be avoided by choosing the other option anyway)

Respect the ladies, you filthy peasant.

how do updates work ?
will the next update be focused on only kathleen

 

[Alaris]

I'm sorry is there a compressed version? Almost 9GB is too heavy for my slow and unstable connection

 

[TD1900]

Next update will add two in game days to the story. It advances some club stuff, there's a lot of Rose, some Kathleen, some Vicky, and a variety of minor scenes culminating in a group event. It's a smorgasbord of things; can't really call it the "Hana update" or "Veronica update" like we have in the past.

No Felicia? That's very surprising given the ending of the currently available build.

No, not really. The next update won't yet contain the next exhibition.
