DEVBlog Update

Hey everyone!
First off, I want to thank you all for your patience and support. I know it’s been a while since the last update, but I’ve got some news to share about the progress and the future of the game!

Upgraded PC for Faster Progress
Recently, I received a new graphics cards (thank you so much for making this possible!), and I’ve just finished setting it up. Now, I have two powerful computers dedicated to rendering, which is already making a huge difference in production speed. This means less time waiting for renders and more time focusing on creating content for you.
Bigger Updates
Speaking of content, I want to let you know that future updates will be big—around 1000 renders each. Considering that the game currently has about 2500 renders, you can see how massive these updates will be compared to previous ones! This is a big step forward, and I’m really excited about the amount of content I’ll be able to deliver to you going forward.
Animations
I’m also working on bringing more animated scenes into the game. To make this happen, I’ve started looking for animators to help with the workload. My goal is to collaborate with a new animator after this update, which means future updates will include multiple animations. This is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, and I’m thrilled to finally make it happen.
Release Date
I’m currently aiming to release the next update in February. This update has taken longer than usual because I was busy working on the Steam version of the game earlier, but I want to assure you that going forward, there won’t be such long gaps between updates. From now on, I’ll stick to my usual schedule of releasing updates every 2 months (3 months at the absolute maximum).
I know it’s been quiet around here lately, and I want to apologize for that. Unfortunately, I had some personal health issues to deal with (let’s just blame my "old age"), but everything is fine now, and I’m back to work at full speed. Thank you for your understanding and patience during this time.

Finally, for those of you who have sent me messages, I’ll be replying to everyone over the next few days—thank you for reaching out and sticking with me.

Thank you all again for your amazing support. Your encouragement keeps me motivated, and I can’t wait to share the next update with you. It’s going to be worth the wait!

She's a few years too old!! HIS DAUGHTER is only 18!! EMILY has already finished University!!! I'm having a gut instinct, that it might be CHLOE(who might have been adopted and it was kept a big secret)????

Exactly. I'm always perplexed by anyone that thinks Emily is his actual daughter. The timeline makes no sense. But to be fair, the age difference between him and Clhoe makes no goddamn sense at all either so who knows how this is gonna turn out.

The problem with this game is that it has an older MC, in his middle age 40+ range. Which is good and unique but he behaves and everyone treats him as a hen picked boy, not a grown man. He should be more forceful. The last scene with Chloe where he just stands and masturbates to her naked body was so pathetic to be honest, and no man with dignity would stoop so low. Maybe a horny teenage boy. A grown man doing that 3rd base shit? He should have grabbed her and fucked her here and there if she was doing all that teasing.

There is a lot of this in this game. The game has excellent renders and the story is very intriguing. But how the MC is treated and how he behaves is extremely mind jarring.

The only reason why I would think the dev would make the MC this way is to try to milk scenes, doing all this foreplay stuff before any real sex scene. Till now the game have literally zero sex scene, just this school fooling around shtick.

By doing this, the dev does not realize he is destroying his own game and his own MC.

Not at all lol. I would have been totally fine if the MC behaved the way he does if he was half the age he currently is but being this old and being treated like this is just pathetic to be honest.
You must have missed the part where he demands she kneels in front of him so that he can cum on her face.

It's one thing being dominant. It's another thing not respecting a woman's boundaries after she expresses them. "He should have grabbed her and fucked her" is literally rape. Do you see the MC as the kind of guy that would rape Chloe?

No.. You don't get to proclaim rape when she deliberately goes buck naked Infront of the MC in deliberate and forceful attempt to seduce...Also multiple previous attempts to seduce as well, including forced leg locking in kitchen and more.

By your definition of rape then every sexual action the MC has taken so far is rape. The MC groping the girl who entered his room at the hotel to escape her father is rape...Clearly because he did not ask for her verbal consent. The MC groping the wife of his friend forcefully is rape. Clearly he did not ask politely can I please grab your breasts? The MC groping the main girl of the game under the rain is rape. Clearly he did not ask her consent.

The MC trying to coerce the wife of his friend for sexual favors could also be considered rape, even just the pressure he is exerting.

Everything can and could be considered rape under a proper look. But thats not how you make a erotic VN.

Um... no... For one thing, I don't do "my definition" of anything. There is THE definition of rape (look it up), which is when someone forces someone else to have sex with them without consent. Chloe very clearly expresses her boundaries in that scene. She explicitly says she's not ready for sex in that scene. Yet you literally said this:

He should have grabbed her and fucked her here and there if she was doing all that teasing.
THAT would have been rape. So I'll ask you again since you didn't answer the question. Do you see the MC as someone who would rape Chloe?

There are other situations in the VN where you have the choice to push too hard, and the LI gets mad as a result. In every situation, the MC backs off when she reacts negatively. Because he's not a rapist. If he then forced himself on her after that point like you seem to suggest he should, then yeah it would absolutely be a rape scene. If rape is what you're into, then this VN probably isn't for you.

I think what they meant is that in porn or erotic VNs in general most of the actions of the MCs could be considered sexual assault in real life if viewed from certain angles. However in erotic VNs or smut in general those rules are not followed closely in order to entice eroticism and get the plot moving.

I actually agree with the premise of what they said that the MC is too old to be jerked around or teased like that. At the very least, there should have been an option to cut all sexual relations with Chloe (but still maintain friendly relations)at that very scene when she said she is not ready for sex. The MC should have had the option to make it clear he is too old to be teased like that. If she is not ready for something serious then she should not be very aggressively and deliberately teasing like that.

It is a humiliating scene imo.

To the first part... no, he was not talking about other VNs. Justheretorapeit was complaining about Reclaiming The Lost. He thinks that because MC is 40 years old, he should have forced himself on Chloe simply because she teased him a little and because concepts like "consent", "boundaries", and "no means no" are too complex for him. Respecting boundaries is a theme that comes up a lot in RTL. What happens in other VNs and how characters may or may not be written in those VNs are completely irrelevant to this conversation.

To the second part, Age has nothing to do with it and I strongly disagree that Chloe's night visit was humiliating. After all, MC was clearly into the teasing. It was a sensual scene with light playful femdom, after which MC takes control back by either grabbing her arm and cumming on her belly, or by demanding that she kneels for a facial. Then he tells her to go wash up. It was a pretty hot erotic scene that was well done, imo.

oh, and you want stories where people are friends their whole lives, but then he sees her tits and from that moment on they fuck like rabbits? I may surprise you, but even a girl who is madly in love with you can say "I'm not ready", even if she is already lying naked in bed. and chloe didn't come to him to fuck that evening. she's a young girl who hasn't even had a serious relationship yet. he has no doubts about evelyn or emily, but it's chloe. a girl who grew up before his eyes and whom he treats like a sister. he's scared by the very existence of such desires for her. If you didn't think with your dicks, but read the text, you would notice that every time he catches himself thinking that this is wrong. And after this evening he wakes up in the morning with the question whether it really happened or was a dream.

seriously guys, if you want stories where everyone starts fucking just because they saw each other naked, then turn on Big Brother, Become a Rockstar or something else in the same spirit, where all relationships come down to the problem of how to fuck everyone so that they don't cut off the hero's balls for cheating.
