Late to party with this game, but it looks good.
Coming from the game in my sig, I'm looking for more time shenanigan games and games with at least some sound. This seems to fit the bill nicely.

I can kind of sympathize with ppl complaining about honey select models *IF* the dev slacks off, but if they do enough transformative work you can make the honey select style gals look pretty damn good, as seemingly evidenced by this game. I love the Japanese style caucasian girls look in any case.

Time to dive in!
I'll leave a review when I've played enough. Judging from others reviews it should be positive, but we shall see...

Welcome to the party! Please ignore the person who didn't understand what you said (literally is best – they're on my saved ignore list after that). They way they responded to you is not how the majority in this thread communicate. This is not only one of my favourite AVNs, but one of my favourite threads in which to hang out.

We have talked through your s@&# already, you are not developer, you do not know nothing about images, animating "simple " scene and H, thousands of rendering ... IF you can do better then do it. Use your F@&#& mind and use shaders with opengl (since the engine is Renpy) - that boost the images ... IF you are his Patreon, go to the Patreon page, while you are on the F95, be glad he gave it for free.

HERE: "I can kind of sympathize with ppl complaining about honey select models *IF* the dev slacks off" , I responded this one, and yes I've read it.

Is 2 posts above yours

I actually checked and did not see your post before I went and grabbed the entire dev log - kudos for being first!

Even better - compliments to Jestur for another update that makes the next chapter sound like it will be amazing, especially with the addition of the special gallery and on-phone music app.

Cheers!

Mhhh my thinking

Can relate. I think I broke a few neurons reading this.

 

[Bill Temple]

What?

My interpretation was that started as a criticism of the threesome options in Honey Select 1&2 and then abruptly pivots to disappointment with localization availability?? That's the best I could come up with.

They basically said "let mod makers handle threesomes since they only sell to Japan"
Which implies that a) there's no japanese modders for HS and b) Japan HS users don't like threesomes?

F to Illusion tho, heard that they were shutting down. Guess we'll never get an HS3 with threesome options
But also shame to see the company go, considering how many nice stories were made with their engines.

Latest Dev Log: 07/25/23


Hello Everyone!

I apologize I haven't posted an update sooner. I was going to post one a week ago, but I had a busy weekend, and I thought I would just finish the scene I'm on first, and it took me longer than expected to finish the scene. Anyway, I hope you are all doing well. Besides this stomach bug/flu I've had since yesterday, I'm doing good.

On the subject of the update, I've been working on adding some new features that players have been asking for a long time. With the help of Bitstream (he did most of the work actually while I worked on the update), we're adding a gallery for the hidden renders and a music player to the phone with all the music in the game.

Many people didn't even know there were hidden renders in the game, but since episode three, I've been adding renders that can be found by clicking spots in the renders. It's usually something in the scene that is out of place or something that is in one render and not in the next. You can click on the locked image in the gallery for a hint to help you find them.

It still needs some polishing, but here are a couple of screenshots:

I get lots of people asking about songs in the game. "What's the name of this song?" or "Where can I find it?" So you'll be able to open up the music app on the phone, listen to songs, filter by episode to find a song more easily, and also click a link that will take you to the source website.

Here are some screenshots:

About the progress of the update. I've been working on animations for the past 3 weeks and just finished the scene I was on. A total of 58 custom animations in 3 weeks. Yes, I got a little carried away with the scene, but it's the scene I wrote and I wanted to see it justice. The scene is fire! There's no question it's my favorite scene I created thus far and the most impressively technical one. When I was about 2/3rds done with the scene, I was like, "Man, this is taking a while to do. Is this worth it? Should I cut the scene short?" And then after sleeping on it, I said hell no! I liked the way I wrote this scene, and I want to do it the way I envisioned it. I've shortened and changed scenes in the past, and I think it's important to start sticking to my guns. The scene may not be for everyone, and you may not even see the scene if you are not on the route, but it's entertaining, if not anything else.
There will still be a big scene at the end of the update that will probably be a lot of people's favorite (including mine). But the scene is done now, and I really like it.

The last third of the update is mostly all Skylar content. I think people will be happy about that. There is a big stretch of render-only content next. So, I should make a lot of progress and try to catch up to where I should be. Then after that, another animation-heavy ending. I'm still undecided if I will extend the update further than that or not. I did talk about making a really long update last time, but I still haven't decided. I already have all the dialogue(and most of the coding) finished for the extended/next update, so I'll either have a huge head start on the next update or delay this update to make it bigger. We'll see where I'm at after I finish the originally planned update, or maybe I'll make a poll and let you guys decide. Currently, I'm at 831 images and 86 animations.

So how far along are we again?

The last third of the update is mostly all Skylar content.

 

[KanyeT]

I had zero clue there were renders in the game, glad to see they are working on a way to view them.

I'm not a fan of Skylar, but I am happy for all your Skylar fans out there.

I guess/hope this time we are going back into the past? I can't wait to see what Jetsur has installed for us.

I can't wait! Should not be too much longer by the looks of it.

Heresy!

...

But I'm genuinely curious, why?

Well, I certainly hope they're developing some nice nipples as well. I'm looking forward to more timestream fuckery, and for that, Luna and Scarlet have some lewdness to get busy on.

What's amusing is that within the last day or two there was a post on another VN thread that showed two different softwares/dev tools for designing nipples and areolas on models.

Had to check to see if that was here or not, but I think it was on Artemis.
