Hey folks, so I got a lot done this week. The harem code and scenes are complete, so now during the night of the first party, you can have the sex scenes with all three potential LIs. The above image is one of the new roughly 50 renders that blends all three sex scenes. Here, MC is meeting Soumya in the elevator right after encountering Chrissy. I am right now rendering the last few scenes so I can send a stable build for testing. It has those changes and most of the yoga scenes. I am traveling on Wednesday and coming back Sunday, so I am trying to get something out before I leave. A minimum, you will all get access to Thanksgiving holiday promos. It will not be as much as the Halloween bit (I spent too much time on that I think), but I am liking them so far. Also, Manager patreons, I am now going to share the Halloween mini-game with you.

I generally try to avoid revisiting a section of the game that is working and already released, but I feel like it increased the spice level so much it was worth it. It plays so much differently. I made the game to be a bit of a slow burn compared to others, but I think it was perhaps too slow. I like this and honestly, it is more fun and interesting for me to make. I need more of those spicy breaks I think to keep it going. When I made the prologue, there was a lot of talking and walking and setting up. The story is setup, now I need to move it along. As such, I am thinking about ending the week with the Yoga and Saturday night so we can get to Monday, unless something really interesting pops in my head.

From a personal standpoint, I have a lot of 'staycation' coming up. I did not realize how much time I had saved and with the holidays we have and the days off I have remaining, I will have lots of time to put to this. Obviously, I still have 'adulting' to do, but I will have an abnormal amount of time.

commenting to keep track of this. This looks really promising with the future tags, but since those are "future" I'll wait and see how this goes for now. I wish the dev good luck though, I'm really intrigued to see how this game goes (but for now looks like you're working on the back end stuff, so even more so, good luck)

Welp, its been over a year and I came back to see if the tags I am interested in are there yet and...no? Is this a case of forgetting to update the planned tags in the opening post?

What planned tag were you looking for? I have been slowly adding one or two each update. If you reply here or message me directly, let me know the tag and I can let you know when I think it will make the game. I took a look at the list and the planned one's are still planned.

I'm into femdom and actually being the bottom in trans on male or something similar. I'm also looking forward to spanking (as the spankee, not the spanker), and toys.

Since you're here, I did decide to play the game and while playing it just came here to comment in a major break in logic/story break.

Spoiler: story spoilers

It's definitely a scene that I never encountered and not even sure how I missed it if it was an option?

edit: Vouyerism can be added to the "tags" instead of plan since I had that whole bit watching her in the office and peeping on Chrissy in the bathroom. Those are super minor, but they count and the tags here have been added for less.

edit2 : I just reloaded an older save to try to stop spoiling myself and this error too:

edit 3: I don't know if I just play wrong or what, but the story isn't making any sense anymore... I wound up having sex with chrissy, then soumya, then getting yelled at what should've been what had to do with the previous spoiler and...I don't even know what's going on anymore.

Also last question I guess...

Spoiler: spoiler for chrissy

Thank you for your comprehensive response, Sorreah.

• You will see futa on male content sooner rather than later. Toys and some of the other things will likely be coming later.
• Regarding Divya/Soumya drama: About Divya and Soumya arguing in the office, yes, there is a subtext that hasn't been fully revealed in the story yet. I think Kelly asks you if you know what is wrong with Divya. You may be right, I need to check to make sure that convo logic is working correctly. Thanks for pointing that out, I will check it out.
• I will check the scene with it showing Soumya and saying Chrissy, thanks!
• You are absolutely right about voyeurism, I will add it. Totally missed that, thanks!
• An older save is not going to work. I try making that known in change log. I am not promising working save files until version 0.2, when I will declare that the code base and decisions are relatively stable. I did a major change last update to enable the player to interact with all three LIs in one night during the company party, and that code simply does not work with old games.
• Regarding Chrissy as always bottom: No, she is not always going to be the bottom, I just posed some scenes for her as top. Saturday night (after the yoga), when that content is released, you will see that.

Again, thanks for your observations. If you want a custom render, please let me know and what you want to see, you have earned one for the multiple bug reports.

To clarify, I meant an older save from this release. I went back a decision from "skipping the time ahead" to hanging out with chrissy instead, since skipping the night is what lead to the logic breakdown of the scenes. Glad to hear about Chrissy though, I appreciate your work and response o/ For now I'm confused with the story with what happened, so I really do think re-looking at that section might help since I was talking about events that hadn't yet occurred/also getting a double dose of sexy times (which might've just been letting the player have more fun options which the warning screen pops up, but I still can't help but feel that even if its intended its a bit odd)

I am just helping, you don't need to do anything special for me, I would just like to play the game again when those points are fixed and look forward to that, thank you o/

EDIT: Actually I changed my mind on the render because I realized it might be my only chance to see it. Can I get a render of Xhiang spanking the MC, bent over her knees? She ticks all sorts of boxes for me, but don't know what her personality is going to be in the end so I'll take this one shot I have

 

[evilgrim]

Just a quick question , can you not talk to Kelly or Divya at the party or Xhiang , April , Andi , or is is still WIP ?

 

[rafa30]

contain incest?

 

[kuolan]

Is topping Joseph going to be in the next update?

 

[Rozhok]

Wanted to give it a try, but the images aren't even in full hd, that's a huge letdown tbh. I don't think that's justifiable these days.

I will announce the next patch, thanks. Away from computer a bit, but sure, I will make a render and PM it to you.

Still a WIP. I didn't spend time on those since they didn't lead to any sex scenes initially, but I will be adding those convos at some point before v0.2. Been focusing on story progression.

contain incest?

No, it cannot based on Patreon guidelines.

Is topping Joseph going to be in the next update?

Yes, or perhaps the update after, but yes.

I think your expectations may be a bit unreasonable. I do not think 4K renders are standard for a game, except for maybe a developer with significant subscribers and I am not at that level to buy a major system for such work. 4K renders take an hour on my system. I have been considering AI upscaling, but that version would be for my sponsors, not for public release. The file sizes get large, which people complain about.

 

[Rozhok]

I said full hd not 4k, this game is around 720p which I think is not viable these days.

 

[sanguineangie]

I said full hd not 4k, this game is around 720p which I think is not viable these days.

Firstly, 1280x720p is technically HD. I don't have the resolution off the top of my head, but I believe it is closer to 1920x1280, which is maybe what you mean as HD? Some resolution loss happens due to the compression to webp (especially dark scene or blacks look blocky, and the MC models face is very low res). The game would be like 10 GB if I used the png's straight out of Daz, and then people would complain about the size, so it's a balancing game between file sizes and using free services like gofile, versus png's with no compression.

The flirting and sex scene with Chrissy should probably have some acknowledgement that she's trans if the MC didn't creep on her in the bathroom and doesn't know (and she knows he knows). The current line seems to presuppose that they've already had that conversation.

Spoiler: Come again?

Some people get hung up on size: Theirs seem to vary, with her completely dwarfing him initially, then fluctuating a bit during the scene. Don't know how important it is, but you'll sometimes see people in other threads kicking off if the MC isn't sporting the biggest wrench in the toolbox (unless mandated by the kink/genre).

Spoiler: Scale

Regarding "when facial morphs attack", yeah, those are generally earlier in the game as I was learning to develop.

Regarding Chrissy, I will check the logic, but I believe you do not have the option if you disable trans content based on initial selections in the game.

Regarding size, I have been working to improve consistency and to not have the MC so dwarfed, because yeah, it is a particular kink, and I figure that kink would likely also prefer subbing/bottom, so as I add that option, that is where they could get their enjoyment.

 

[gregers]

Regarding Chrissy, I will check the logic, but I believe you do not have the option if you disable trans content based on initial selections in the game.

Just to be clear, I wasn't talking about the trans content flag (which is checked during the party). I meant that the dialogue if choosing to flirt ought to have some variation depending on cChrissyBathroom (and ideally cFirstLunch). The current scene makes sense if that variable is true and if she and the MC had the follow-up conversation at lunch and if they resolved it peacefully/flirtatiously: If not, it is a very abrupt escalation.

The script really allows for a number of different situations going into that conversation:

cChrissyBathroom is True (A)

... and they had the follow-up at lunch (firstlunch_chrissybroom, cFirstLunch is 'Chrissy'). (AA)

... ... and the MC expressed interest/owned up to creeping. (AAA)

... ... and the MC denied creeping (Chrissy is offended). (AAB)

... but the MC had lunch with Joseph instead (cFirstLunch is 'Joseph'). (AB)

cChrissyBathroom is False (B)

The current scene at the party seems to assume case AAA. If B is the case, this is the first time the MC (not the player) learns that Chrissy is trans.
