How's everything going? you settle on a name yet? I've been keeping my eyes out for updates
Yes, I have settled on "Bad boy b$yfriend". Currently I am rendering sex scenes. I am hopeful I would be able to release it next month.

:oops: :unsure:1 years for an update, and seen the addition we understood that it was useless to have expectations with this development. We're going to ignore it directly.

What happened and What will happen.

First of all I would like to apologize to everyone for not being able to deliver an update even though you all had such a great response to it.

When I first decided to make this game, what I initially had in my mind was to give a stage to my ideas and the stories in my head. But what I didn't know was how hard it actually is to develop a visual novel.

I know it looks easy as that's what I though myself before trying to make one myself. I won't give excuses like this and that happened in my life, quite a lot of things happened in my life last year, but that's just life for you. Things keep happening in it.

To be frank I almost gave up on the project and all my stories as the task felt too daunting to ever finish. I think we all amateur developers have dreams like to be the next Dr Pink Cake without realising how much hard work and finesse it requires.

To be frank, I almost gave up too. I don't have enough time, I don't have a good pc, I am too lazy, I have so much work to do, I have a family to take care now who cares about making a porn with all the mess, it is just better to play one in free time than making one, all these thoughts were enough to give up and I almost gave up.

But I don't know, I guess the ideas in my head never gave up. They wanted to be shared. I don't want the stories in my head die so easily. I always liked creative work, whether writing or painting. I never had a professional training in both, but when my friends, family and teachers complimented my work, it used to feel good. But with education, job and family responsibilities, I don't have any work or space in my schedule to paint and feel good but I at least want to share the ideas and stories in my head.

So, I have decided to try again, but little by little. I won't be making the next Being a Dik/A wife and a mother or all the great games out there. I will start small and gradually build both and refine my skills. I am now remaking the Trash Bf as Badboy Friend with this approach. Sorry for such a long rant. I hope you all have a great day.

Progress report:


The remake is going steady. About 70% of 0.1 script and dialogues are written. Now I am rendering the images for those parts.

Progress report:


Focused solely on rendering this week.

Did about 20% of rendering.

Tried a lot of things, like Stable Diffusion AI upscaling and spot rendering.

AI upscaling was hit and miss, while spot rendering did speed up things.

I also realized that it is sometimes better to just not including a basic render than trying to increase your total renders with it.

I ended up wasting entire day trying to render 1 waking up render for MC because painfully slow it was. Would have been better if I just skipped it altogether.
