What's up people?

How's the new year been treating you all?

I've been working at a pretty steady pace on BETA 3.

If you have played BETA 2 you will remember that we got to a part where Mike would roam around the school looking at various places and people while Luana is in class.

So yeah, I have been working on the scenes for those interactions. They're short and memetic scenes based on popular shows, music videos and stuff like that (popular for me at least, lmao... They're funny to me, okay???).

While those interactions are short and have little dialogue, they proved to be a bit more work than I had anticipated. I have finished pretty much everything on them tho, the most complex scenes are done (namely the ones on the 1st floor) and now only the real short ones are left, those should be fairly easy to get done.

That'll leave me with over 2 weeks to add a pretty nice scene that I have been planning for a while now.

All in all, it's been a pretty fun and productive month so far, even with all the new year's dread and stuff like that.

Don't forget to check the

Have fun!

Well I have played a little bit more and Im curious about something.

What is the point of the Lust/Affection counters? I mean, in my head they are both different metters to acomplish different things.

Affection: Leads to wholesome events, the characters growing closer to you, they open up about things they weren't comfortable talking and all that cute romancey stuff. In my head focusing on romance leads to more meaningful conversations and probably an actual relationship path even though it would take longer to get to the sex.

Lust: Is more about corruption and getting them to think of you as a sexual being, focusing on it will get you earlier access to sex scenes, even though you might miss some heart to heart conversations, is not a bad option if you liked the character of course they will still be your friends but is more about the sex than anything else.

You should focus on affection on people who you want to romance and you should focus on lust people who you want as fuck buddies.

With that said, I find odd the different choices we have in this game being weirdly weighted. I mean when you were helping your mom reach the blender, you could choose between grabbing her ass or grabbing her thighs, the first option will give you +3 Lust and the second will give you +1 Lust,. What makes this choice odd is that seems like there is a "correct option" since grabbing her ass will simply give you more points and is not like choosing her thighs would lead to a different outcome, she will still panic and fall, so I think that choice is odd. If I had porn dev superpowers I would leave the ass grabbing as it is, and make the thighs grabbing adding something like +2 Affection +1 Lust also she didn't fall so you get to drink juice.

Another example is the kiss with the little sister, you can choose to give her a kiss in the cheek (+2 Affection) or give her a REAL kiss (+5 affection +5 Lust) Again, even if you only care about affection, you will still find the better option to raise affection is giving her a french kiss, making the cheek kiss an overall worse option in every case, specially considering the outcomes are mostly the same.

And that's it. Im still having a blast though, I also wanted to congratulate the dev for this god tier joke

The whole Affection/Lust thing doesn't amount to much right now.
When I implemented it I had different dialogue and different outcomes for future events based on the the A/L levels.

And yeah, the whole thing desperately needs a rebalance ASAP, as do the outcomes for some scenes (namely the conclusions to each girl centered day). Someone pointed out some time ago that no matter how you treat Joana or Val during the course of their days, the outcome is still the same, you get to bang them. At the time I didn't think players would care about it that much, but apparently I was wrong.

Underestimating the reaction quotient of f95 commenters seems to be a site-wide condition.

So I just played the 8.02 version update. It consisted of a breakfast scene with the mom, taking the sister to school, a conversation with the security guard and an encounter with the sister in the school hallway. Any further progress is blocked by a sign which says Under development - coming in Beta 3. Is that all there is for this release?

Coming up on 5 years, it's amazing how little the plot has advanced since the earlier versions.

I know right? I'm an amazing dev!
My mom always told me it was amazing how I never forgot to breathe.

What's up everyone?

So... New month means new BETA!

This is the third BETA for 0.08 (AKA Luana's update) and continues the events on her storyline.

Strangely enough, Luana isn't featured on this update, she's too busy studying and uh... Doing nerd shit like that.

But I'm pretty sure you're going to like what's in this BETA!

This is the proper changelog for this update:

  • Continuation of the events for Luana's update.
  • 1 new event.
  • 10 small and skippable memetic events.
  • Turned the text in the Checklist into actuall buttons (Normal Mode).
  • Fixed the nameplates positioning on the Android build.
You can download the update from the official releases posts on

Not my cuppa?
My mommy issues do not lend themselves to... that. Quite the opposite, in fact. Maybe y'all had hot moms growing up, IDK, but let me tell you - there was no way I was developing a mommy-kink growing up.
