I still think L.O.L.A. is probably the most attractive character he's made. Here is some shots of her I had laying around ...
Iris is still best girl, though.

Hi, guys.
So, as we are getting closer to the release of the episode 02, I have a bit more free time on my hands. A rather odd sensation... But thanks to that I have time to write this post and finally play some Persona 5 and do a couple of other things that's been on my to-do list for way too long now. Just the other day for example I helped "Censored Gaming" design another t-shirt. It was nothing special and didn't take me long, but I am still very happy that I had time to do that.
Also the actual release is probably going to be hectic as fuck for me, as usual, so I think I will use the time I have now to write about things I would normally write in the release post.
First of all let me reflect on how long this episode took me to develop. The idea was to create a very simple and easy to update game, and here we are almost 10 months later and only now I am ready to release the next update. I am such an idiot. I am sure you are tired of hearing me say this, but I really want to say this publicly again and again to be more countable when I will be working on episode 03, to insure that I make it way smaller and shorter!
OK, with that out of the way, let's talk about few changes in the game itself. The first thing you will notice right away is that there is no "mastery system" for the episode anymore. Some people complained that 10 points to master a show's episode that basically does nothing is way to high of a number. While I was working on episode 02 I had plans to make the new show's episodes in such a way that it would make more sense to level them up to mastery 10: the plan was to change the animations slightly so that for example the girl is not being embarrassed performing a certain activity anymore if it's mastered, or so that an additional scene is added to the episode if it's mastered, showing the cumshot and whatnot.
About 3 months ago I had a change of heart though. I will not go into the details and reasoning behind that, since there are a lot of them. Believe me when I tell you this: I spend a lot of time planning these things. I try to take a lot of things into consideration, and even if the final result ends up not working the way I intended it to work, it is never because I didn't put enough thought in it but because I am an idiot
So, yeah, I decided to get rid of the mastery system altogether. This does will not affect the show's of SC34 episode 01, but starting with episode 02, all new shows will have no mastery. Instead the episodes themselves sort of level up as you progress through the story.
So, if you unlock new show, it will have only episode 01 in it. If you keep progressing through the story at some point the episode will change to 02 with episode 01 going into archive. As you keep on playing episode 03 will unlock with episode 02 going into archive (I am talking about show's episodes not "SC34" update. (This is getting so confusing)). Episodes in the archive can be reviewed at any time but they don't spend time, don't generate income, they are just recordings.
I was never good at explaining my thoughts in coherent way... So I am sure all this sounds confusing as hell to you guys. But just trust me, the way it is now, the show's episodes make way more sense both gameplay and story-wise.
Another thing I tried to do with this update is tp give you a chance to be able to play events and quests of every character more or less independently. So that if you feel like progressing through Ashelin's story-line first - you could do that, or if you want to start with Lola, you could do that as well.
Now, I said "i tried" to do that. It sort of worked out well, but sometimes you will still have to play a few event's for Lola to be able to proceed further with Ashelin, and such. It's tricky to tell a coherent story without continuity issues when you try to give the player the freedom to progress some arcs of the story before others... Oh, and I already talked about this, but I cut all the Jasmine content so there will be no new event's or quests for her. (Otherwise development would've taken even longer -_- ).
Wow, that's a lot of text... I think this will do for now.
The game is on the final stages of development but it is still going to take some time to iron things out. Thank you for your support and patience.
Your supreme leader.

I think he lost his passion but is trying to keep the money flowing by telling people "soon" "sorry ive been so busy" like bro youre pulling in $5k a month. You busy trying to find shit to spend it on? I stopped supporting him maybe that'll bring his passion back...

Akabur is not a guy like that. Even at his patreon page he says don't support me more than a dollar, give the rest to other guys i don't need it. He works in his own pace and makes arguably the best games. That's just how he is. It's better to just forget about his updates and check once a year to enjoy his content.
I don't consider Akabur a milker, he just does what he does.
That said, I am also very certain that if he suddenly lost 5k/month worth of income, he'd find the motivation to get shit done faster.

Yeah, I give him $1 a month just so I can get his updates emailed me. I figure if I give him $1 a month for 4 years, it would add up to what I owe him for the entertainment he's given me so far. PTG alone is worth at least $25. I don't expect anything in return, so it's always a pleasant surprise when he teases new content. Better yet, actually releases something.

Tbh, I consider him as the Tim Schafer of porn games. He's a creator, as in he is good at making things, but that's it. He has no project manager, no boss, no one to keep him grounded.
I don't think he's milking anyone or is doing anything malicious, he just makes stuff at his pace, trying to do the best that he can, and forgets about deadlines, fans, anything really, that isn't strictly game-related. These people are amazing, but they need someone to look over them and give them directions and limits, and in the porn game-patreon thingy it's often teams too small to have any such thing.

Lyk, (the translator for Akabur's games) just said on Patreon "Check out Chapter 2 of Akabur's newest game!" and there is a Patron only posts on Akabur's page. So I think chapter 2 is probably out. (Call me Sherlock 
) So please someone be kind and post it before the end of the weekend.

Episode 2 Windows link uploaded by me:
Alright, either i'm an idiot that can't post mega links without some kind of problem or they just don't work. Either way, windows is all I got for now.
Note: make sure to skip a day if you load a save or else the game could crash.

This thread is going to be lively today. Also, the email I got from Akabur for this release had pretty much no information. It didn't even have a title. It literally said "No title." and a reminder to report bugs. No change log or anything. He did say a lot about it in previous posts, but no concise list was given. Unless it's in the file. I can't check right now.
tl;dr - No official changelog.
