I know last update came out not long ago but I just have to ask when is the dev planning for the release of the next update? The game is still in Prologue. Just curious.

I've conceded that point at the end of my first post, which you may not have read since you got so offended with all the rest. It may even be a me problem after playing so many harem games. Probably it's an issue that in practice, the MC already do have a harem, that already love him a lot, and with a single action he already lined up 5 more, so the tone fits but it's pretty fast anyway. If I were the dev I would make he work more for the cousins and Mel's sister, but that's just me.
I also got somewhat burned out because I've played Otero's At Home Again recently and that game is pure cancer, with the tropes I've complained up to the max.

I am already working on the next update. The last posted update was the prologue's conclusion. Now we're moving to the meat and potatoes of the story. As I have mentioned previously, I will be moving away from the 1 in-game update model to a 1 to 2 in-game week model since the story has 2 arcs that take place within a 6 in-game months each (more or less), and a day to day update would means years of development.
I understand your concern, although I don't share it. Like some have mentioned, they have history with mc, it wasn't an overnight type obsession when it comes to the "old" harem, which by they way you can avoid if you so choose. I will not lock out any romantic interest just because some might feel it's too fast for them. You have full control over that. Please note that this last sentence is a general notice for any that read this. Now the new girls haven't exhibited any real emotions towards mc other than he's hot, handsome, intriguing, well, maybe Michelle but come on, she has needs. The sentiment I tried to convey was that of a conversation most of us would have amongst friends... that person's hot, I would, but we know we wouldn't actually under normal circumstances, we're just joking about it. The interest is there but not in a I'll spread'em for you just because kind of way. I have their individual motivations planned out to make it feel more logical or natural if you will, but there had to be a catalyst. I hope that clears that up for anyone who shared this concern.

I was just going over the planner and I want to make one small correction of something I said before, just to avoid future uproars. Though I will not lock you out of any relationship, there will be love interest (s) (none from the neighborhood) that can have their paths closed off based on consequences of your own actions, not relationship related(they know the rules, mc ain't a cheater). So think hard when facing actual choices.

Finally got around to this...really enjoying it. Some old overused tropes but overall, pretty good, girls are nice, nice not to have a dumb virgin 'never seen a woman before' MC...although, he may still be dumb. Him and Mel...being what they are/were...sure is a lot of shit going on they are utterly oblivious too..put that down to design I guess heh.
Know dev said it is completely designed as a harem...but if you give choices, need to get your pathing right. On a Mia alone choice...or April alone choice..or neithr for now....if you choose not to sleep with Hailey (if on path) then the next scene after Mel surveys the camera footage...you end up in bed with Mia or April (depending on that choice) with the 'that was wild' dialogue (with zero context as to why you're there with one of them)....*shrugs*. This should not happen.
Overall, pretty great, looking forward to seeing where it goes.

If I understand you correctly, if you chose 1 of the 2 (mia or april) you end up with that specific girl, but the dialogue is off? Or is it that they both show up? I ran the test on my end and it worked properly. Could you elaborate so I can fix the issue?
Thank you.

You get to the top of the stairs ...get the sleep with Hailey option. If choose no....the very next render (after the Mel reviewing the security camera) is with one or the other lying in bed...with dialogue as if they fucked (is actually the exact dialogue from after the threesome scene). Basically the renders from the threesome scene after sex but only with one of them.
Also, forgot to add, when defining intimate names for 'April and Mia'...you have April twice instead of the second time being Mia.
(Render seq skipping Mel looking at Camera's)

I looked into your concerns and found the following:
Fixed the loading conditional for the Hailey option. My retarded brain coded the conditions in the incorrect order. The option will only show up if you are on Hailey's path and rejected Mia and April (together or solo), as it should have been. So you wont get any indication of their path.
Regarding the "pet names", I corrected the code. Thanks for pointing that out.
This change has been coded, but will roll out with the next update.
Thank you for bringing it to my attention. Anyone else that spots any other issues, feel free to notify me.

No problem at all.
If can ask/confirm...I assume if only picked Mia there, at some point April will still be available at a later date and vice versa or is that an actual pre-determined end of path for one or other or either at that decision?

You would be correct. And this applies for any girl with the exception of 2 very specific girls, which I have already indicated could lead to a total path closure due to your own choices later on. The rest of the girls can be added on at your own discretion even if you felt that previous opportunities were too early.No problem at all.

The only thing I am rethinking is the pregnancy window for those who want that option. Not if it will happen but when and how, I might have to place a window range for my own sanity. I'm still figuring that one out without having to force anything for story purposes. I dislike forced events, but I do like the byproduct of a great romantic relationship, it adds reasons to strive to be greater. In my opinion of course.
Are you planning pregnancy events for all the girls or just some specific ones?

I would prefer all at some point of the story, but I am looking into how it would play out (like I mentioned) since I am a solo dev and tracking all those possibilities could affect the dev time and quality of the story.

That is what I have written in the road map. Even for those whom most would call side characters. I am building mc to be a man that truly does see all the woman he has an intimate relationship with as lovers/partners, not just a quick fuck. That's why I will never call them side girls, it makes it look like mc is just playing with them. But that's just my opinion. Remember that you (the player/reader) will have control of who the mc enters a relationship with. Hope that helps you see or at least understand what I want mc to be, and why I want to include all possible love interest in that specific journey, and why I want to try to make it fit properly in the story, not just as a kink, but also optional for those who don't want it.

The prologue was just that. A taste and setting for the story. Now that you know where the mc is, we can start to find out where he came from and why he ended up here. Who are these girls that followed him, beyond old acquaintances, and why are they drawn to him? Was this all a chance encounter? You get the idea. Basically who why when where how. Next update will get into the meat and potatoes, and not just... Take me you hunk of a man! But there will be taking. Just saying.

No. Now the story will move foward in full swing. Any additional information from the past will either be discussed when needed, or be presented in a dream or memory. For example MC's and Mia's pending conversation.
So consider the next update 0.01 version. Or an equivalent, I have to run the numbers to see the actual numerical version. Or see it as a movie that starts without a title, and then boom something happens that triggers the actual beginning and the title pops up.
It won't be a day to day update, it will flow with either a in game weekly or bi-weekly update. Meaning that the next update will be a 1 or 2 in game week time frame. It will depend on how long it takes me to develope it. If 1 week takes me close or more than 6 months (mind you this is an example and I am a solo dev) then I will stick to just 1 in game week per update.
