Hello everyone!

We're continuing to work things out with Steam while working on the project.
Today, I want to share a bit about the daily grind from the perspective of an artist (yep, that's me).

With the project growing through dozens of updates on the previous platform, we accumulated tons of backdrops, character outfits, and characters themselves, along with animations, expressions, poses, props, and additional lightweight scenes (kisses, hugs, etc.).
As a result, 80% of the work isn't actually on the spicy CG scenes but on everything else I just listed. Now, I get it - people come to projects like this mainly for the CGs, so it's fair to call me out for a poor allocation of resources, priorities, and all that. If I were starting the project from scratch, I'd definitely approach things differently. On top of that, much of this content has been revised over time, leading to a mountain of low-quality assets. But that’s the bad stuff. Let’s talk about the positives - and why I’m even writing all this in the first place.

I’ve updated (yes, again, guilty as charged) all the backdrops - over 100 of them, not counting their props, different times of day, etc. - as well as 40+ characters, complete with all the details I mentioned earlier. CGs are also ready and are simply being expanded as other team members finish their work. But right now, I’m focusing on the 80% of non-CG work. And here’s where I was going with this: this is the part of the content that won’t change much in future seasons (we’re currently planning 3 seasons, with the first being the most vanilla). In other words, we’ve already done 70-80% of the artist’s work for the next two seasons. This means that future releases will be faster, at least for this reason. Plus, as the text, art, logic, etc., improve with each iteration, they’ll require less time to produce, which is yet another bonus.

That's all for now. Stay tuned for more news and updates!

As always,
Thank you all so much for your support, without you, none of this would be possible!
Love,

hey, arent they using AI for the cg? i thought
I think it's gonna be >=30. Uber bled a lot of money when they were kicked off patreon, and they'll try to get some of it back via higher prices. They also have to factor in giving steam a slice of their cut
im not against AI cgs. the issue is, they are taking too damn long when the reason they went AI was to make it faster to produce!
so either they go back to making the art themselves, or they start pumping that engine to actually do what they said they would.

What a joke...Just say it plainly. "I used AI to replace everything old. Cause I don't want to bother with making new content."
His SubscribeStar exploded. Good for him. I even bet he wants EVERYTHING to be perfect for the Steam release. The dev closed himself in that bubble.
But my God he is pushing it...It's literally almost one year since the previous update.
With the Steam release, he will gain a new platform, new clients, a fresh start. On the other side...The bar for standard will also raise itself. Each new update needs to be packed with sex content for each of the female character. If he wants to release one update per year, I will be curious how his fanbase will react.
Honestly nobody will care...
RIP old Taffy Tales, Long Live new Taffy Tales.:KEK:
Can't wait for the steam reviews BTW

Are you serious? Steam income means "1 copy= one payment" Not "milking braindeads indefinitely". Higher standarts? Don't make me laugh, steam is full of half dead shitty asset flippers with 2,5 anons online. Each new update with new sex content? Well, yeah, definitely. If you are ready to wait a few years between updates, that is.

They have 3 seasons currently planned, but isn't the patreon build "Season 5"? So they're not planning to make the steam game up to the Patreon builds content? Or they're going to restructure it so its only 3 "seasons" instead? Going forward I guess we have 2-3 years of them rebuilding content before we hit anything new :\

Self awareness and acknowledgement is always appreciated, and if the second part is true, hopefully there will be seasonal updates throughout 2025 to make up for the lack of updates in 2024.

Kudos for being transparent about what you've been working on tho (y)

The whole game take a steep nose-dive after the 1st 70% of the content of season 1-5 .
After that it's all trash , frankly.
Just a way for Uberpie to make money .
It's almost as if didn't wanted to work on the game AT All.
Such a shame cause it's one of the best adult games out there.
Damn! I've yet to finish 0.89 but that's pretty tough to hear. I have my qualms with some of the writing in the game, but as of right now I still (mostly) enjoy the characters and storylines so far, I guess I'll have to see it for myself when I reach the latest update :FacePalm:

I'm still upset the netorare paths never had a fair shot in his original art style since when he did its first update for it, it was the same where A.I. came into play and the entire thing is just scrapped now pretty much. The only scene we see the real potential is Mary in the gym with Darnell which had a way better plotline to go with for that in my opinion.

I still think the steam release is an excuse to rework again a unfinished game and keep the subscribe star cash flow coming in ... they're not gonna recover the patreon money with steam sells, it's obvious what is more profitable.

Well, he didn't have to try THAT hard. He can just came up with some lame shit as excuses, as always. Maybe situation is reversed - he just keep using everything as excuse: patreon situation= perfect excuse. steam releas = another excuse. global warming alwas can be an excuse. Moonphases and all that - world is full of reasons to milk braindeads.

when will we get to see the mc gets feminized by his bully and thise new wicked doctor
I wanna see more NTR route
Is far as I can see, there was an idea of making a choises resulting in one of 3 outcomes:
1- whiny mc wins, alter ego dies, mc is feminized coz he's whiny shit.
2- alter take full control, original mc vanishes, there is loveless slave harem, coz alter doesn't have any conscience at all
3- balance ending, when mc bacene the result of combining two personalities.
But in his endless reworks and remakes he lost half of original ideas and make counless stupid mistakes. So now it seems there will be bland choice with who fucks Mary/Becca/Tiffany with 50 additional text lines and 30 alternative AI generated pictures.
And with his poor writing skills he'll sell his ass to AI sooner than he can do a decent scenario.
