1. Does your mod fudge up the game and cause that "image not found" black screen that seems to be rampant?
Of course it doesn't, but then the game itself doesn't have that problem either, unless you try to apply a patch or mod that was designed for another version.

There will be lewds in Season 2. As for Season 1, if you chose to sit there with your cock in your hand despite the great big huge fucking warning at the start saying no lewd content, then that's very much a you problem for getting blue balls ;)

Signed, an apparent die hard fan. :ROFLMAO:
The game no longer has that "no lewd content" warning with the final Season 1 ;)
I meant no disrespect with "die-hard fan". We just have to agree to disagree on the history of that game.

One of the greatest delights in my life is the removal of the blue ball police, replaced by the legendary guardians of official ratings. No need to warn there is no explicit content in a 16+ game, it now does what it says on the box :HideThePain:

Does the steam version with dlcs have more images becaause on the steam page there is a scene with mila where you sleep naked in bed with?
If you're talking about the official screenshots on the store page, the only picture of naked people sleeping is MC with Bella.
The DLC contains wallpaper and the "treat" images that were released on Patreon during the year. These are non-canonical images, not from the game scenes.

2 questions:
1. Does your mod fudge up the game and cause that "image not found" black screen that seems to be rampant?
2. Going forward, does that mean Summer's Gone will have no spicy content to be found and is just going to be a case of serious blue balls?
1. Yes, mods can cause conflicts I thought you already knew that. :HideThePain:
2. It will come eventually, first nika has to cure his depression in order to get his penis back. :HideThePain:

I am aware that mods can cause conflicts however there are countless games that have these same types of mods implemented without causing conflict. I am not mod savvy so I’m not sure how a dialogue change would influence pictures showing up on screen

It’s a game found on a predominantly porn game website. I’m sorry for expecting there to be lewd content especially when that warning you mention is no longer there

It depends on how the game is coded. If script is linked to the renders, advancing the script to reference a render that's not available with cause issues.

I'm not into the programing, but it's pretty common. Only use mods that specifically work for the version you downloaded - trying to use a ch5 beta patch on S1 for example will likely have conflicts. Just be wise, and make a backup of the game before installing any mod, so if it doesn't work, you can get is back to the way it came out of the box.

Are these scenes going to be in season 2.Or are these just abandoned pics.
1. Looks like Mila got hit again by her parents
2. Victoria looks like she is back in the hospital maybe for surgery.

I think they were animations that never made it into the game. I think most of the animations ended up getting cut because of music license issues sadly. But it could be something future, after all,, we haven't seen Sonya like that yet - but it might just be an extra.

Weren't only the Steam/GoG/Epic versions supposed to get the censored Nami content etc? That's what the devlog a while ago said
They have the same content as the patreon version now. The patch was applied to steam 2 days or something after release. But there is cut content from all the releases compared to Ch5 Beta. Not everything has been restored, some for the sake of moving forward. It was the Nami topless scene at the lake that was the main thing restored, we still lose the Nami nipple pump scene and she now wakes up and prepares for gym with Jeff rather than teasing Nika in bed.

There is no version of season 1 with these. There is a mod made by a fan in this thread, linked on the first page, but be aware that there are no guarantees that it won't cause save issues with season 2.

I personally just keep a copy of old ch2 and ch4.5 for old content, and play without mods, because it's not like major story points were cut. Some characters have (slightly less) development, but gain in other areas of development (ie Nami, instead of going to Nika's bedroom if you stay for the heist, sees him outside smoking, and we learn stuff that wasn't in the original, so it's pretty new, and more important than a simple teasing scene).

Personal taste is always a thing - people who are focused on Nami will be more upset than people focused on Bella, as Nami had the most changed content.

Have you installed a mod? If you have, the mod is the incorrect version for Season 1. This is a common problem. Mods for Ch5 Beta do not work on Season 1. Make sure any mod you use for any game is the right version.

Hello,

Season 1 has been released on Epic and GOG on the 5th of June.
I sadly have no way to check how it's going with GOG, as I can't access my partner's account anymore. (Apparently, it's not activated.)

And they keep telling me it's due to temporary maintenance... that's lasted 8 days, while all the other devs I asked who use GOG have no issues and have never seen this error message before.

Sadly, GOG's Partner Support hasn't answered my last E-Mail in which I asked if they are sure that this is what's happening... So, I will wait a little longer, and if nothing happens, I will contact someone else at GOG.

Of course, I don't expect anything game-changing from either GOG or Epic. But as we say in Germany, "Kleinvieh macht auch Mist." (Means something along the lines of small things add up.)

But it's a real feeling of accomplishment now.
There's one more thing, though. I'm now in contact with the German rating agency USK. If I had gotten the official rating, I could've sold SG in Germany. It does cost a minimum of 1300€ (in my case 1800€), but I think it's worth it.
It would've been amazing if I could've released it in Germany last month, but, well, you learn things.
This means I will now get back to the German translation, and I hope to have it out in Germany by the end of the month.

Season 2 - Chapter 1

I'm implementing new strategies to smoothen development. I made a gigantic mindmap of everything that needs to be done.
I also included every single scene for Chapter 1.
Chapter 1 has 28 scenes.

Just for comparison, Season 1 - Chapter 5 had 16 scenes.
Of course, some scenes are small, and some are quite big. But overall, this will be the biggest update I've ever done.

Previews
Today, I have a few Noji focused previews... I just felt her today. I wanted to show some really great Zara renders buuuut... I don't want to show too many previews at once.
Zara's next time. (If she brings home an A)

And a bonus preview:
When you're on edge 24/7, and he touches your hand.

I know some would like a render count or a percentage, but I'm sorry, I'll keep it to myself for a while.
I will only say that S2 - Chapter 1 is planned to be released this year.

Taxes, taxes, and even more taxes.
There's a lot of tax talk coming now. If you don't care about it, you can click away. The Dev log will end here for you.
Thanks for your support and time to read until this point.

I think it's important to be somewhat transparent about what's happening behind the scenes, especially regarding the support you guys give me and the planned upgrades.

In the last log, I mentioned that I'd be waiting with the workstation until I know how much pre-tax I'd have to pay...
Less than a week ago, I got an email from my tax office with this information. In the mail were 17 PDFs, all of which had a "Checked" in front of them.
So, my tax offices reviewed them, and they were fine.

When I opened the PDF, it told me how much income and business tax I have to pay every three and two months.
And when I saw the number, I was like... Well, I guess I'll be developing the games from prison soon.
It turns out that there was a typo in it that inflated one of the numbers to something in the late five digits. That was a good scare.
Income tax and business tax are paid separately.

Anyways, what they want from me is still way too much. They're using my 2023 numbers + growth to calculate my pre-tax.
And... There's something I had in 2023 that I don't have anymore... So, due to an unfortunate event, support is down by ~35% compared to 2023.
The amount they want now, if broken down to a monthly base, is 80% of my pre-tax income.
Which is obviously insane. I'm deliberately not adding Steam/Epic/GOG, as I have no numbers of which to go to.
It will still take until July when I see the first payment from Steam. Almost all of it will also go to taxes.
Why?
Because my tax office declares my VAT/UST every month, the government has my 2023 numbers.
Usually, I would have to pay the 2023 taxes in 2025. But because they already saw a rough estimation of my numbers, I have to pay three different bills.
1. The taxes for 2022. Those were calculated in.
2. They raised my pre-tax for 2023 by A LOT, and I have to pay it all at once.
3. The insane 2024 pre-tax on top of the upper two.

That's where all the Steam money is going.
It would've been okay if it had been spaced over a year or so, but not all at once. This ruins my upgrade plans.
And while we asked for the 2024 pre-tax to be lowered with proof that something happened that justifies it, it doesn't mean the government will accept it. They could just say no.

Maybe the Steam or Epic Summer sale will bring in a little extra, which I can dedicate to the workstation fund. Then there's also still WIAB's Steam release in Q4.

I also have to contact Late Kids, Youth 83, The Intangible, and some other artists for Season 2, which is going to cost me a lot again... But it takes priority over the workstation.

So, I will be honest and say I most likely won't be able to get a new workstation this year. It's just not in the cards. The Summer sale or WiAB's Steam release could always surprise us, but I can't rely on it.
I'd say we're just set back by a year in terms of PC upgrades. It's kinda meh, considering that I can set up more renders than it can render overnight, but it's still a good boy.

And yes, I'm thinking about leaving Germany. I actually have a call scheduled for tomorrow with a tax office in a different country. If I can use said "law," I will seriously consider moving in 2025. Unfortunately, thanks to my apartment lease, I'm still stuck in Germany until mid-2025.

It's not great, and I hate that more or less every penny I earn goes somewhere into the expenses, but I'm so incredibly motivated.
Workwise, it's still going to be a great year.

Take care, and thanks a lot for the support!
