Hello everyone!

The fight with the race scene continues! I’m slowly getting it done and I managed to do about a half of the race in just a few days so that’s great! I was expecting it to go much, much slower but overall it’s not that bad. Also, I’m taking a few days off and I’m leaving for a short vacation, just to catch some breath before the final straight. I fly out tomorrow morning and I come back on the 18th of July. Taking that into consideration I think I’ll get the race scene done 22-ish of July, maybe a few days later (depends if I come across some unexpected issues). Once it’s done, there’ll be only 2 scenes left and we’ll be good to go!

Few words from Joshua:


Beta testing is still going for much of the game, and the final few scenes are being rendered. We're getting close to announcing a release date, which we hope to release shortly.

Episode three is about 25% written. There's been the usual adjustments and amendments of storyline to make sure that it'll be finished much sooner than episode 2 was, but the story will still have the rhythm and pay off that we want. It's important that there's a proper story cadence for the end of the episode, as this will mark the Steam release as well.

It'll be a big milestone in the project to finish episode 3, as it marks the point where we hope to move from "promising new game" to "A game people want to keep playing".

So, we'll keep pushing on. With a little luck, we should have a release timeline sorted by th next update.

In the meantime, here's another playlist. This time it's Natalya. I know you guys have only had a few glimpses of her so far, but she has a little more to do in ep 2 and 3.

If you can wait for Corporate Culture, you can wait for this.

Corporate Culture doesn't take THAT long. That game's updates typically take 8-9 months; this one is nearing the 10-month mark and the end of the tunnel isn't close yet.

 

[Joshy92]

I'll be honest everyone I don't really care all that much about cars.
I'm here for the relationship building and the great characters.

Oh, and also the writing which has been phenomenal.

I'm here for the relationship building and the great characters.

Like me, I know how relationship building works in pr0n games and the charakters I mean the models are important too!

 

[Devil1661]

Next update?

 

[Kassandara]

Next update?

There is a development update on this very page

This..

But I think it's credit to the impression left by the initial release, that even though I know a big chunk of the incoming update will feature content that doesn't interest me, I'm still really looking forward to it.

IS THAT A SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPRA

Yeah, I don’t know shit about cars. I don’t even have a driver’s license because I get vertigo really bad. But, I am excited for the next release.

Just be a bit patient, we are coming closer to the next release, just 1 or 2 more years to wait and you'll get you 5 min fap time....

Good work

 

[Joshy92]

This race scene sounds really complicated.
Devs have way more patience than me
I think my hair would have gone gray.
And I probably would have gone insane by now.

That's one of the reasons I really respect devs like these guys & Cheekygimp
They are more interested in telling a great story with added lewd scenes
Then just some shitty porn game

Even though porn would probably be easier to make.

I got back from my break few days ago, and I jumped straight into it. This is how my animations folder looks right now and I'm "only" about 70% done... If only I didn't have to go frame by frame on every animation to fix flying tires... It's fucking tedious

I was right I wouldn't have the patience for this line of work.

Good luck with the rest of the update
You are creating something special here imo

This game lose so many patreon cause a whole year without anything except "dev update" ! I have starting pledge too , but stop it immediately cause of this ! and don't trust dev for now ...his game is DEAD ! this project have good potential when it's start , but bad decisions kill everything .

I'm sorry you feel this way. I agree that we've done a few bad decisions mainly with the size of the update but the game is certainly not dead and is being worked on whenever we can. All we can do is keep you guys updated about the work (which we do, about 2 times per month and if you want to know more feel free to ask on Discord or shoot me a PM) and do our best to deliver as quickly as possible and not make the same mistakes in Episode 3.

Hey don't wory man. I rather like game that's released when it's ready than rushed and being unplayable. Just look at how Jedi Survivor launched, for example. I mean sure game eventualy came to that level and i still think it's one of the best games of Star Wars universe. Take your time and release it when it's ready. What i can't wait is for your game to be ported to Steam so i can support you from there since i deactivated my Patreon account. Cheers

 

[ostrogotihichun]

Don't worry about it man at your own pace
Waiting for the next Dev log and hopefully the release date
Don't succumb to the pressure

 

[BoltonGuy35]

First time I gave this story a try today and I can safely say that a really enjoyed it.
The puns and dry humour was also a nice touch and not to over the top, even if there was the odd snipe at us english folk lol
A great amount of cast all with there own each personality and stories. Can't wait to read on and find out where this story goes. Thank you UndergroundStudio P.s How can Jake not want to commit to V is beyond ME

I just remembered about this game and I surprised to see dev's presence here. I'm not here to tell you how to do your work, but you've created a Patreon, because you wanna a little support or maybe, one day, make a living out of games. Dont know your reasons. But on my humble opinion updates one time per year isn't good plan. You may post updates or stupid wallpapers but it's not the same as the content people came for. Not that a nobody from a pirate forum can be very loud about that. I support devs, whose work I loved on Steam, when the game is finished
Hell, ofc, you can release couple more updates and sit tight on your arse, counting money, doin' nothing. It really works. Dumb people throw money at the screen to the devs who released less than jack shit for the past year-two-three years.

Maybe I'm a bit upset, because I remembered your game had great potential. I mean, if anyone can create such mood and atmosphere it's already worth something, ain't it ? It's always shame, when it goes to waste. Gladly, not many great games went that way as far as I'm concerned.

Didn't mean any offense. Wish you all the best with the game and irl.
