Hey dev, a suggestion: I quite liked the last update which was a small and quick release. I wonder if you could do one update like that in-between big updates that move the investigation forward. Especially since you said the next update will take months. It'll keep us engaged and it also makes sense that the priest isn't making breakthroughs every other day but his life at the monastery goes on.

That's what I've been doing sometimes, when it felt like a good time, to avoid running too fast forward with the investigation compared to the other things. I do what I feel is best at the given moment. Currently, I don't have a plan for a shorter update before the next big one, but things could change if I see that I would need to lay the groundwork for some coming story related things.
Or Dev stumbles across a cache of never before seen naughty nun porn source material where the scenes just write themselves!
Hi! Hadnt played in a while, but the game is amazing. Really enjoyed it so far. I would like to sugest letting the MC have encounters outside the monastery when he visits the town. It could either be random encounters or side quests. Or maybe a storyline where he leaves to visit his family/friends or something.
Is there something I’m not getting with the lust and temptation mechanic? You need temptation to do anything, but temptation requires high lust, so every day I have to go check every scene to see where I’ll need to have temptation (where the new content is), then reload, go raise my lust by doing “useless” events, go do one event where temptation is required to advance, then be forced to go whip myself and lose all my temptation, so I can’t do anything else that day. It’s either that or spend three days every time figuring out which event needs temptation and how to get enough for the requirement, but not too much to where you overdose on lust. Is this supposed to be for pacing’s sake?
Certain events give you a bit more lust than others and some give you a bigger boost if you are at 0. For example, ones that involve sex, like fucking Novice Emma will boost you to 30 lust or reset you to 30 lust if you are higher.
Other events like seeing Sister Jana in the garden for the first time that day will give you 10 points.
Once you pass 70 points (your resistance stat), the temptation stat starts to boost as well. So you can get a maximum of 30 temptation this way.
There is sometimes a bit of a 'visit nun x, y, z' in a particular order to get your temptation to just the right amount.
Most notable when you are trying to get your corruption raised.
But once you get that, you can immediately move forward, with no arbitrary grinding like so many sandbox style games, where they make you repeat things X times for reasons.
I much prefer this 'figure out the puzzle / order to do things and move on' approach.

The Dev's previous game is similar in that:
1) it uses real porn clips
2) it is a sandbox that has more of a 'puzzle / figure out the particular order to do things to advance' focus than any kinda real grind.
Chief differences are:
1) Not HTML
2) No Naughty Nuns!

I'm more or less done with the time-consuming story parts related to the coming resolution of the investigation of the nocturnal attacks (which may or may not be in the upcoming v0.12), and I'm very happy with it. I have also made some preparations for the coming end of the game, which may happen in 2-3 updates (unless I want to continue for longer).
All this have taken a lot of time that couldn't be rushed and had to be done now, since I had to make a lot of final decisions on things I hadn't yet decided on. I always knew the big picture of it, but since I don't work with a completed script, I hadn't written down all the details of how everything happened, why it happened and stuff like that.
Now I have to add some more content to v0.12 and then a lot of testing and polishing. If it goes faster than expected, v0.12 could be ready for release in the later half of June, but more likely, it will be released in the first half of July.
And, once the main mystery is completed...
Dont forget the Alchemy to knock up the Abbess and Prioress!
No promises on that but in any case it's not needed for the prioress.Dont forget the Alchemy to knock up the Abbess and Prioress!
To get to corruption 60, first run into all the encounters that need 60 and fail at all of them. That leaves you frustrated and starts the Cindy quest which bumps it up to 58. After that drink some wine at the chapel after supper to get it up to 60 and read the next chapter of the codex. That permanently bumps it up to 60.
Sweet, sweet, sweet!!!
More naughty nuns in June!!!
Thank you very much for all your work on this story!
