Zoey! What have you done to Rachel? ....

Yes, the bloodstain was there, but I'm using better visual settings now, so you can see it clearly These are alternative location scenes, by the way. I'll probably do this for all locations. When you finish a mission, those alternative versions will be unlocked. I only do this for a few locations for now because there are story-related events happening. They will include different secrets. I'm also thinking about adding side quests. Currently, I added a few small side quests, but I’ll add more in the future in a more rewarding way. They’ll be choice-based too.

you know when the next update comes I got a feeling im gonna feel slightly confused as I kind of forgot alot of game but don't think id want to replay it in the next update maybe the 1 or 2 after that

I think you'll be fine. Nothing too complicated happened in the earlier scenes, but with this update, I’ll bring a lot of story elements. There’s also a huge backstory for all characters, which gives the game more soul and makes things more interesting. I specifically invested in Harmony, Melody, Calysta, and Rachel in this one.

After this update, I’ll be focusing specifically on Harmony and Calysta for Zoey’s side, and Mariana and Melody for Valeria’s side. Ashley will appear in Valeria’s mission, and Scarlett will appear in Zoey’s mission, but this will happen in v0.2.5, not in the upcoming update.

Speaking of missions, I have a "technical" question: Let's say there's a mission whose completion leads to a hetero/lesbian scene, but the player refuses one or the other option (for example, doesn't give someone a handjob), will that count as an unfinished mission? Or will there be alternatives so that the mission is always successful, regardless of the route?

Or will there be alternatives so that the mission is always successful, regardless of the route?

The mission will always be successful because I’ll create different options, like you don’t have to have sex with anyone. There will always be a normal, non-sexual choice to pass the scene. In other words, the choices won’t affect the outcome but only your corruption or romance stats, which will be useful in some scenes because you won’t be able to play some choices if your corruption level is too low or too high. Once the script is finished and I’ve placed everything in the game, I’ll analyze and handle those properly. 80s Valeria's stats and present Valeria's stats will be different.


Edit: What I mean is they’ll always find a way to solve problems; you can either go the sexual way or the normal way.

 

[fishbrain]

I’m currently dealing with secrets. I haven’t touched the script properly yet, I’m waiting for my writer to finish the dialogues. After that, I’ll see what’s missing or needs polishing. You both made good points (Acsuka )—I’ll fix this and check if there are any other scenes like it. I think this is the only scene that doesn’t have another option. I’ll probably add a “hide” option,

So I gave it a shot and I don't think it's for me. Too much unwanted groping on Zoey, lusting by Valeria, etc.. and it seems like I'm going to get a game over eventually since I'm not doing the corruption path and running out of money which apparently will force the corruption path. Just more of a vanilla romance kinda guy so even using the URM for money I don't think will be enough.

Also, in the gym before Tyler helps her stretch "which made my stomach turn, should've given him a swift kick to the balls" she's talking to herself about seeing Rachel with him the day before, but I never saw that scene.

Then is the gas station scene you mentioned part of Evan's past? I didn't see that scene either and chose not to see his past so I'm putting two and two together on that.

If you want to cover all bases for some players you could probably add skip options for the NPC blowjobs in the hall and in the bathroom at school.

She's been more than willing to discuss the game with me the last couple days and I couldn't give a fuck less about your opinion, but congratulations for having one.

nothing wrong with that. Tbh romance AVN's are my favorite I mean I will still play the occasional corruption / FMC / Porn first type of game but they sure aren't my favorite. hell there was a few years where I was watching alot of romance tv , anime and movies. I grew up thinking I would dislike them but ended up liking them.

Yeah, I can probably add skip options there. Currently, that’s one of the two scenes I haven’t redone yet. I’ll redo those someday with different options, but for now, I can at least add a skip option for sensitive players. you’ll always see something you don’t like in the game. After all it’s a porn game but you’ll also have the power to skip (at least most of the time). I’ll make sure of that.

When I was making that scene, I wasn’t following the choice-based idea, so I left it like that for now. Adding skip options to every non-sex scene and trying to please every player is also a problem, because if I add skip options to every kiss scene, people will get annoyed seeing a bunch of buttons in front of them every 5 seconds.it interrupts their fun, and that’s no good for anyone.

Also, there will be locked LIs you can’t exactly avoid because they’re related to the main story. I’ll add a warning at the beginning mentioning this so you won’t be surprised when you see them. My main idea is to please everyone. I’m aware I can’t fully achieve that, but with v0.2.4 I tried to add as many different options as I could. There are a lot of romance scenes along with some that aren’t so romantic as well. You’ll always find something you absolutely love and something you hate

But if you’re a person like me who just wants to see beautiful girls doing all kinds of stuff, you’ll definitely love everything.

Nonetheless, the main theme will remain the same. Some guys will show up trying to get with my girls, and my girls will have options to handle this in their own way either through sex, money, or non-sex options. The main story of the game will also progress gradually in the background.

You mentioned earlier that certain scenes cannot be chosen if the corruption level is too low or too high. I understand a low level and that makes sense, but with a high level how can you not have a choice? That seems a bit illogical now... And how much do these factors actually affect the progression of the story. Do I have to corrupt my character against my will to always be able to advance in the story, regardless of the path I choose? For a player who wants to see all the "vile" scenes, it's not a problem. But you could see that you have an audience that is more sensitive to the content and would like to see these beautiful girls not as "whores" in the story. I'm really looking forward to the next update to get a clearer picture of these questions I've raised...

Yeah, that’s a good point, I think the same. There’s no issue with a high corruption level,you’ll be able to play all the scenes. But if your corruption level is low, that means you don’t like corruption at all. So, you’ll go with non-sex or money options,basically the vanilla ones—and the corruption options will be locked because you don’t meet the minimum requirement.

Some options will also require romance points. For example, if you have high romance points with someone, you’ll be able to unlock “further sex” options. But for new characters, I won’t add such limitations yet, since I don’t know if you’ll like that person or not. I’ll still include the options to grind points, and for later, bigger sex scenes, I’ll add those limitations.

I’m currently dealing with the major things right now. The points system will be the last thing I work on, because I need to see everything clearly first before adding it to the game.

Also, I forgot to mention that your decisions will never affect the main story’s progression, but your choices will influence how the character behaves. Since I make all the renders myself, there’s no way I can create completely different paths (and honestly, I want to stay sane). So don’t expect completely dynamic gameplay with multiple paths. However, how your character overcomes obstacles will depend entirely on you. You’ll be able to solve problems in different ways, and I’ll try to make those options as distinct as possible—they won’t just be repetitive renders or fake choices. But much later in the future, when I decide to finish the game, of course there will be different endings depending on your corruption level. However, to be honest, I have no plans to end the game anytime soon. If I complicate things, I won’t be able to tell my story properly, and that would greatly affect both my creativity and performance. So this way is much easier for me.

Personally, I like corruption games... But corruption itself can be interpreted in many ways. You can get corruption points from any event, it doesn't always have to be sexual. It could be a kiss, or even just a touch, a tit flash... In fact, I've experienced in several cases that women are corrupted even for masturbating, regardless of what gender they're thinking of. And these don't necessarily require an animated scene, just a picture showing why the character gets the point is enough. So if what you're saying is true, and you're right (event blocked due to low level), then maybe I can mention these as ideas to increase the corruption level with similar actions. I'm not saying that this is how it should be done, I've just experienced this in other games and they work. And these options can be valid for both lesbian and hetero routes. It's really good to communicate with a game developer who listens to players' feedback and evaluates it realistically.
Introducing the romantic points system will be a great thing because you can always see how your LI's relationship with someone is developing.

The whole point of making a game is to create something everyone likes, so everyone’s opinion matters to me. If someone spends their time making comments, that means they care about the game (or criticize it). Still, if the point is valid, I listen. I may not agree with everything, and of course I have my own path, but I always accept good ideas. I trust my visuals and my scenes, but game mechanics aren’t my strong side. I’m always in “improvement mode,” that’s how I improved my graphics. If someone brings a good idea to the table, I take it no matter who it comes from. After all, the whole point is to make the game as amazing as possible.

Thank you, it has been quite a while since I've played and wanted to get to know the characters again a little bit and I guess I wasn't totally clear on what had and hadn't been updated yet. I look forward to your next update and seeing what you come up with!

Ps.. I should've known what I was getting into when I noticed their last names. Cuckfield and Swallows LOL

I accidentally miscalculated the secrets. Now we have about 110 new secrets in the game. I realized I don’t have enough secret pictures, so I started creating new ones. So far, I’ve made 22 unique custom pictures.I need to create at least 30–40 more.If you guys have good sexy ideas, you can tell me I can always use some inspiration. (Ask me for simple erotic scenes, not full sex scenes, I’m racing against time.)

Are the secrets the images that unlock on the phone?

In my opinion, Mariana Tetona and the other new girls should be included as unlockables, with at least one picture of each, since the available version (which I'm about to finish) has almost all of the unlockable pics of Zoey and Valeria, and maybe one or two of Rachel .

It's probably too late, and it might cause problems for the programmer, but I wanted to make a suggestion: the more images you have unlocked, the harder it is to see what has been unlocked when you open the phone. Initially, it's easy to see the first 10 or 15 images, but after that, it's difficult to see which ones have been unlocked (by the way, it's a nice touch that the pics used for the Patreon tiers are already unlocked at the beginning ).

My suggestion is to add a small symbol, such as an exclamation mark (!) to each image that hasn't yet been viewed or opened in full-screen mode on the phone to make it easy to identify the newly unlocked images.

I also must add that you were right, Xell: only Rachel's animation in the bathroom with Tyler has fps drops, which luckily don't affect me, and the rest run smoothly without any frame rate drops.

You can view the unlocked images from the normal gallery too (you can access it through the menu), but it’s a good idea ,we can add that exclamation mark to both the phone and normal gallery pages.
And yes, I’ve focused on the other girls now. I created a lot of pics with Ashley, Scarlett, Mina, Melanie,Harmony,Calysta. I’ll be creating more, but I need some pose ideas and inspiration.
Yes, the current animation coding gives smooth results,only Rachel’s animation was made using the old method. We also renewed the UI and maps. The new UI will be minimal in size but functional; you’ll be able to hide it with one click and make it visible again. You can also hide it partially. It’s a simple design, but I really like it. I want people to see the locations clearly
