Anyways, everything gets perfectly done, when you take all the time you need.:closedeyesmile:....

Just to anybody following this, update v.013 probably now going to be early June, sorry :/

I just realised I've finished an alternate ending to the day and it's 72 renders long instead of the 5-10 I'd planned so I need to chill out basically and just get what I'd already planned done, on the plus side this update will be bigger than the entire game so far.
How's the work going so far, are you getting close to a soft ETA yet? Not meant as stresing you on, I enjoy your work and look forward to seeing more, all in due time.. cheers

It's coming along quite well, not as fast as I'd like but then this update is bigger than my previous 3 months work put together.

The script is done and all tested and working (famous last words).

The morning is done, the day is done, one of the evening paths is done (although I got silly carried away and it's nearly 150 renders long at this point) just finishing the other one now.

I'm really pleased with it, it might be hated here, I don't know yet, but I feel there are a ton of choices some of which you see immediately and some affect Friday and Saturday nights' big events.

I'm really hoping for the end of next week, but it all depends on how quick I can get these renders done to a decent standard.

Huge thanks to everybody that donated last month also :)

Thx for the update, much appriciated :) sound like pure gold to me, glad to hear your excitement for the project, kinda shines through when you can't stop yourself from adding. Best of luck, hope you'll be able to wrap it up and save some content for next patch. Cheers

Hi guys v.013 is all done. I was made redundant on Friday from my job, and when I got home I found the car loaded and my gf decided we're going away for the weekend as we haven't had a holiday atm. The second I get home (Monday morning) I'll upload it on Patreon/discord and here, sorry for missing Saturday, I couldn't tell her to hold on I just need to go upload my porn game I'm making as she'd break my neck

I thought I'll play through each of the different paths just to check it works fully, as there are no bugs coming up in lint.
One of the paths, you talk to them, choose to get dinner, and then the game closes? No grey screen or anything with the normal RenPy feedback telling me what I've done wrong, it just shuts down. I can't figure it out. You have to get past that choice to get to like 100 more renders though so I'm not sure if I should just cut it out, as everything else works, but then you can't get the Miller ending to the day which is pissing me off big time. For now I've posted the code on Lemmesoft and am hoping one of the people who know what they're doing (not me apparently) will get back to me with some ideas. I turned the choice into just straight dialogue so you can't decline the offer and then it works? But people liked having the option not to do things if they didn't like it so I didn't want to make it linear. Yeah so that's where we're at, will be up as soon as that's resolved.

First of, MASSIVE apology for the complete mess of release dates I made this month.
I was so unorganised making this it's unreal, won't be like that going forward.
Secondly HUGE thanks to the supporters on Patreon.
Thirdly, enjoy v.013, as always give me comments and feedbacks even if its negative.
If there are any bugs @Me and I'll try and fix them ASAP!

Here's v.013: (PC)
