Hey peops!


Episode 6 - Behind The Curtain is now out on Patreon.

It took a while to finish this episode. Most of it was unrelated to the project and private matters, but there was also a lot of lack of motivation and procrastination. I spent a lot of time going back and forth on this episode, second, third, fourth guessing myself. Sometimes you have to trust your instinct, even if the small voices in your head is saying what you're doing is sh*t.

I've added some new music and ambience to the library and I will adjust them for the full release of season 1. Some of the music added to this episode is temporary and will be replaced.

Most of the episode wasn't rendered before I started working on it, so there was a lot to do there, but luckily I'm working with a new computer I bought back in spring specifically for rendering purposes. I think you'll notice a slight difference in quality from the beginning of the episode to the mid and later parts.

From Episode 6 and onward to season 2 we will be following a few important characters in Simple Beginnings, but the main character is the one still making the choices. It just feels better to tell the story from several perspectives and it's easier to write a more complex story this way, using these side-characters for exposition and world-building.

Right now I'm looking into changing splash art, music, interface and coding minigames for scenes throughout season 1. If you're a talented artist looking for some exposure or just willing to add to my little passion project, give me a holler here or on Patreon. Right now I can't offer much, but I'll do my best to try and compensate you for whatever time you're willing to spare.

That's it for now, I'm taking a few evenings off before I start polishing season 1. By that I mean, tinkering with voice acting, replacing all ambience, music, and adding a few scenes that felt lacking in terms of rendered images. I hope you like this episode and this season overall.

Bye, bye for now!

PS: I will add some content to the straight path in season 1, I'm just not sure where it'll fit in at the moment. Most of this path was planned for expanding in season 2, but now I'm not sure.

Licking pussy is not part of my definition of "exhibitionism". And, being hetero, licking pussies, or having mine licked by a female, doesn't really appeal to me.

I missed seeing that. Must have made some wrong choices.

Keep It Up.

Solid Gold Work so far.

Do not give into the temptations either of "Reworks" because that will destroy this great piece you are weaving.

I Myself really like the overall plot and mood and even how Great the Renders are.

Can't wait for the Next Chapter either!!

I've already finished the chapter and simply "WOW OMG", great chapter, without going into spoilers it was too good, it was totally worth the wait, now I'll need some time to process everything that happened, because it's too much, too many things and emotions to process, I haven't been this excited in a long time.

lmao, poor Jenny, everyone surrounding her is incredibly shitty, with only Emma and her family (at the moment) being her only support. And maybe the bike glowy sword girl.

Really liked chapter 6, but I don't think the game needs a rework, or mini-games added. It's the worldbuilding and characters I want more of. Hit a couple of bugs, and there were spelling mistakes and some grammar issues scattered around, but a rework sounds bigger than just smoothing a few rough edges.

Haven't made a straight/bi playthrough, so don't know if there was anything significant for those routes. But I'm not interested in them for this game at all. Emma wins easily.

5 hours and all you get is a random girl masturbating in the bathroom. Don't get me wrong. Dev is actually writing a decent VN here, but you need to spin some sex into this story soon. I mean you literally killed off the MC of this portion when she was a fucking virgin...I wanted to watch Emma corrupt her ffs....
