Hello everyone!

I’ve mentioned it earlier that in the next development update I’ll try to give you guys an estimate of when the release will be and the time has come. I'm assuming that with the current state of development, we can say that Episode 2 will be out at the end of August/beginning of September. I’m quite confident that the renders and animations will be ready by the end of August, but the development is not only about renders, so I prefer to assume that the release will be closer to the beginning of September

Besides the renders, I have to put the last scenes into the code, add music and sound effects to the entire Episode Also, I know that there’ll be dozens of renders that need fixing in post-work or even re-rendering. After finishing the renders, there will be a lot of work on the aesthetics of the game, which will also take some time. Beta testers also need the time to test the final scenes. They did an amazing job and most of the Episode is already very well tested and fixed. Of course, you should also remember about the release priority for the highest tiers Patrons. Champions ($100 Patrons) will get the game one week before others, Racers ($50) 5 days, Mechanics ($20) 3 days and Bookmakers 1 day. I hope you can hold out for a little longer, because we’re already on a final straight!

Today's preview is a bit different because yesterday I submitted Race of Life for a Steam review and I figured it'd be nice to show you how RoL's main screen in your Steam library will look like This render will be a key marketing image on Steam and will be used in the library as well as in the store.

And as always, a few words from Joshua:

With the race scene now complete, we're in the final stretch to releasing Episode 2.

As we've said before, there will be quite a bit of playtime in Episode 2, so while the development cycle has been long, I think players will see where the time was spent. There are two big events that play out very differently depending on player decisions, so while they took a lot of time, I think they'll be a lot of fun.

As for me, writing Episode 3 is continuing well. I've just finished another scene, and I estimate the script is about 1/3 done. The characters have been fleshed out well, and we're getting into the point where the story is picking up the pace. Jake will be leaning heavily on the people around him to help him reach his goals, which includes his love interest(s). How that plays out will depend on the player, and some of the girls are more helpful (and more open to adventure) than others.

Thanks to everyone that's been so patient. I understand that it's been a long time between updates, but we're almost there now. I appreciate everyone who has provided feedback (even if it was negative).

Special thanks go out to our beta testers as well. They're doing a great job of checking every detail so that the final result is even better.

What about FAMILY!?! I need to know if FAMILY is going to be highly valued in a racing game.

Nice update, thanks Dev. Looking forward to checking it out.

There was another girl I liked besides Allison but I forgot her name
She was one of the mc's students and I think she flashed him her panties
I think she might be down for some fun.

Dude we should celebrate, looks like you are into Allison as am I and probably only game we are lusting after same one.

Btw, she is Alexa and caught MC shagging V(GF) at parking lot.

Yeah, Allison is great isn't she
Haha for once we agree on who best girl is its a miracle
Also thank's for reminding me that other girls name
I think she will be trouble for our mc in the future lol

Yeah she is great, just because of it I simply despise MC's bestfriend. Dude is a trainwreck and badmouthing Allison at every possible occasion while clearly MC was in the wrong. Yeah I had to reread before I believed we are agreeing on who is the best girl.
I don't remember exactly but she was sister of Jasmine, right? I think Jasmine is more trouble than Alexa, especially after 'future teaser'.

Well Joshy is one respectful fella who won't look another woman besides his LI. All of the women besides Allison can prance around naked and Joshy won't notice them.

Sweet mother of Jesus... I'm drooling and dripping

This is where the details of Race of Life come in, you have to choose the right options to see the scene

 

[BTWZ1]

I'm 90% sure that dev will again not have time to finish the upd by the annoubce released date. But i'll be happy to be wrong.

Is this really what we're doing? 8-9 months for a fucking update?

What if the dev decides to make the next one even BIGGER? Gotta wait 2 years???
I'm done with this

Yeah wait. What's your problem? You don't have a life or something? I mean you're not working on this game obviously. and you're not spending any of your precious time on this game, So I don't get it. What's your problem? Just wait for some goddamn time.

Chapter 3 will shorter than chapter 2

 

[Joshy92]

Even if it did take another year for episode three.
does that really matter?
The game is really good.
Most people know good games like this take time.

We are playing a mature story driven AVN here
They are pretty rare imo

 

[Razrback16]

Ya, no reason to really criticize the dev for slow dev time when it's not his main job, and it's free for a test drive here on F95 - if you like it and want more of it, then buy it when it comes out on Steam to support him. Maybe if he gets enough support he can make it his main job.
