Just want to clarify a tad because I feel Abyss made the infographic confusing. The image count is for new images (so around 678, we are still adding/removing some so the count is not 100% precise, but far more than last update anyway) the animations however is including past animations, the code is all new lines of code but the word count is total word count (as it was for chapter 4, so about 44k new words). Just wanted to clarify.

It was a massive labour of love, mostly from Abyss (who has barely slept in the last few weeks it feels like) but even I have gone through not one but two burnouts over this period. We had a team member leave early on, sickness, technical issues and more but it's finally here and I'm hoping people love what we managed to put together.

In the future I'm unsure people can realistically expect such a gigantic update, but we wanted to fit all of the beach into the chapter which meant that it had to be gigantic. And even so there were so many ideas we simply didnt have the time and space for!

As always with creative projects I feel like you can just go endlessly, but I think we hit most of the key notes people are expecting at this point.

uhhhhh only a few days left, 673 images, dev did his homework, at least someone is working, unlike other games

It will be replaced at some point, it's just not a priority.

Sorry I'm a bit confuse but what's the genre/tags this game is heading to ? No cheating, no NTR, no NTS ?

AbyssGames SymbioticLife Correct me if I'm wrong, but there will be no cheating between Alice and Luke. I do believe there will be NTS with a couple NTS scenes in Chapter 5. There is an NTR relationship, but not with the main character in the game.

No ntr i think, but this is a Nts game if you played it you saw it a bit

There's no NTR/cheating for the main couple, there is plenty of NTS including a lot of it in this chapter. There are also other genres that we combine together, we see no reason to be pigeonholed by strict definitions and so we include elements of other things like corruption,swinging, cuckquean, and even some harem elements.

We don't want to limit ourselves but rather just to do things we think are hot and fit into the greater narrative we are attempting to weave.

However the NTS elements (along with the other elements) will get progressively more hardcore so obviously that wont be for everybody.

You got an intriguing story and beautiful renders to work with. Beautiful character designs, sluts that evoke the utmost sigma desire of a man to split them in half in a ruthless rage fuck and cute interactions too. Please don't appease to those betas with cuck fetish

I had high hopes for a good 'ol praise to the developers after reading the first sentence. Sadly I had an aneurysm after reading further and probably won't have the will to visit this page for few days after this.

One of our team members - Pepega - was awesome enough to create a time lapse for some of his work on the final scene. I think people will be super interested to see what goes into building certain types of scenes (as I've commented elsewhere, there's a variety of tools depending on what we're doing and who's doing it) so I'll post it with a spoiler tag a few days after release. I think people don't really realize how involved some of the work is, some images are nearly instant affairs where you type in a prompt or plug something through a controlnet and are completely done in under 5 minutes. Other images are the work of hours (in the worst cases, sometimes hours of work only to scrap it for various reasons), still quicker than drawing by hand no doubt but I think a lot of people will find the timelapse both illuminating and super cool.
