Just sorting out some beta branch reports from last week, probably doing a new default branch update today.
I was about to ask when you guys were gonna post the newest update on Steam. I saw one of your comments that said it was going to be updated last Friday, but when I checked the storefront, it was still saying the latest version is 0.14 (March 3rd release). I thought my Steam wasn't updating for some reason, which was weird since the latest update for PL2 was on there. But it seems I got my answer lol.

Yeah, it's on the beta branch. Content wise it's been complete for a while.

Basically some (wonderful) maniac did a deep qa run on it on Friday, and we've spent the last few days cleaning up all the little buglets and issues raised. I think the current build is our release candidate, but I'm giving it a little time in case something obvious accidentally broke.

Droid Productions I just finished Forging the Dream and I wanted to say congratulations on another great update. Good length for the update and it wraps up Pog's narrative well enough to have some finality but leaves it open enough to be explored in a sequel. Also the second entry for Linda was awesome, I'm looking forward to see her story progress.

I had one issue with my playthrough of the update. I don't know if it was a glitch or if by design, but Annya's store did not have any of the pickable flowers for sale. Since we had to collect a high number of flowers for two of the quests in the latest update, it started becoming tedious since the flowers only regenerate every other day. I recall it being mentioned by Izelle during the start of one of the quest that flowers could be purchased from the store, but nothing was popping up for me. Also, I did the flower picking activity with Dawn over 20 times and the RNG was really not in my favor since that gave me zero of the flowers needed for the two quests. Don't know if that's something you guys might want to look into. Lowering the number of flowers needed for the quests might be a viable option. Also, small nitpick, but speaking of Annya, her name shows up as Ann in the spankbank. Wasn't sure if that was ever brought up to you guys.

One other thing I wanted to ask is why you guys removed the sleepover feature with the girls in their rooms? This applies to PL2 as well, and with that game being pretty much finished, I suppose it's safe to assume that you won't be adding it in. Personally I really liked that feature in PL1 since narratively it signified that the girls are fully trusting the MC and bringing the relationship full circle. Also the repeatable scenes within the game are always a plus. With Sinner's Landing, I was surprised that you can't do that with Pog at this point since her story is finished.

Guys, is there any easy way to get flowers? I need 15 Zinnias to the quest and I don't want to collect them 10 more times...

Dungeon Runs gives flowers in quantities, but will require the luck of the draw
You might also be able to buy them in the store, she got all kinds of stuff

The short answer is the artists hated it, because they often add inconsistencies. In Paradise Lust 1 you have sex in the river, in the ocean, in the lagoon, with various outfit changes... some you can repurpose, but something like the lake sex with Cath ended up looking weird, because it assumes it was underwater. Similarly Maria likes to cosplay, so a lot of her sex scenes involve her dressing up (and it's not worth redrawing and re-animating all of it without her nun outfit on, for example).

In the end I guess I underestimated how much people wanted that stuff; we're looking at adding it back in for Paradise Lust 3 and Sinners Landing.
