It's been an amazing year, and here's to more adventures with all of you.

To everyone, I want to wish you all a wonderful New Year. The ambiguity of tomorrow is frightening, nevertheless, anyone with the courage to wake up and push forward are capable of achieving their own greatness.

As 2023 comes forth, I want to thank everyone who has supported The Arson Betrayal from comments to critiques, to even financial and emotional/mental support. Even something as giving literal time off of your lives to play the game is something I am truly grateful for. What started as a measly passion project is now starting to become something even more, and with that, you have my utmost thanks.

I'll take this year as an avenue for furthering myself and honing, studying, and even making myself better than who I was before, both as a developer, a writer, and as a person.

I'll see you all in the next chapter of our lives. Cheers.
On to the next.

Now that you've spent your chilly Christmas with someone, why not go ahead and invite them for a fireworks display overlooking Ablesmith?

If I had any concerns it's probably about the lewd scenes. They're certainly sexy, but it feels like the game is struggling with them a bit, particularly if you try to turn down the harem and focus on a single love interest.

What fucking red blooded male would turn down several hot chicks that want to share him. Unless your a thick glasses wearing nerd that jacksoff in his mother's basement. "Sorry girls but you'll have to find some other dumb guy to fuck you on a daily basis, I've got a stiff rag with my name on it waiting for me, gotta go." Come the fuck on guy, who gives a fuck about a single love rout, when you can love all of them. You must have watched 40 year old virgin 100 times, and probably fully identified with the mc. It's harem all the way pal. That's the answer. That's the dream and fantasy. If you want a single love root, watch the fucking notebook.

The problem with harems is that they limit the personality of the girls involved to the type who like that sort of thing. That's an extremely small subset of the full range of personalities available. Some of us happen to like girls who, for example, need an emotional bond to feel comfortable with a sex partner. Strong characterization is one of the keys that differentiate an AVN from generic porn. If the relationship feels no different no matter how many girls are involved, then IMHO the relationship is irrelevant and the characters fake.

The other problem with harems is that they kill replayability since there's no need to play different branches if the content never changes, but that's a separate issue.

As far as The Arson Betrayal goes, however, I see the point as somewhat moot. The game explicitly gives us the option to turn down girls, so it doesn't really matter who would take that option or why they'd do so. The game has already chosen to accommodate them. The question is whether the game is getting as much mileage as it can out of those options now that they've been added, and I say there's room for improvement.

Remarkably good rebuttal, I can actually see that as I have played games with little story involved in wooing your girls, but I wouldn't say that's standard. But I do see where your coming from and I concede. Having a better understanding of what you were actually complaining about. You prefer a game like harem hotel over my new neighbors. Both harem games, but one has much more fully fleshed characters, though neither is bad.

Currently entering Coding and Dialogue. I also take the opportunity here to double check the renders and animations, and adjust accordingly when necessary.

Happy New Year!

Update????????

Well, update is out. That leaves you with two solutions; you become a patreon or you wait until it leaks.
I'm sure you would leaked it if you were a top patreon.

I'm currently working my way towards working on the rework for Chapter 2. Like the previous rework, I'll simply focus on the visual aspect of it and correct any typo/continuity errors along the way. The special scenes may be expanded, but all the important choices and stuff will remain the same, so no need to worry about your saves.

I'll probably try to make it on Feb. 20, in time for the Public Release, or anywhere near that date. Chapter 3 rework will then be worked on intermittently while I focus on Act II - Chapter 2.

That's probably it for tonight. Cheers!

The number of players doesn't depend when game leaks. If patreons are loyal to dev, you will see update when it become public. You should ask yourself if you pay for a game 15$ or more, then it's not in you interest to leak it. Why would you leak it? There isn't anything for you to gain. Yes, agree, game is really good.

I mean when you wait for updates for other games there is usually discussion on update( like how will be this update) but here none so whatsoever.

Agree on this. Usually there is much more going on other pages. But there are too many questions about when does the game come out (few times on the same page), errors, random massages, questions about gameplay, support question, how to instal patch, why this game has no patch, problems. When you ignore those things, real discution is very rare. But there are games where they had to create fan pages because 90% was off topic. There are few games that page is almost deserted. But this game has nothing of that. I don't know. This game is too god to be ignored.

"For when the wolves come, only the brave survive."

I already started in making progress for the general outline and storyboarding while I try to finish the reworked visuals for Act I - Chapter 2.

In the meantime, The Arson Betrayal Act II - Chapter 1 is now up for Early Access for Whistleblower Patrons, while it will be released for the Tourist Tier on February 15, 2023.

From there, it will be publicly released on February 20, 2023, so mark your calendars!
Cheers!
