Hey Guys!

Really sorry about all this time off. Like many others at the time I had an truckload of family issues to deal with regarding health and all that comes with it. To cute a very long story short; lost access to many of my accounts and had to step off for quite some time.

Just today I got my old pc running again and manage to salvage all my work.

I'm happy to say that, even with a lot of bumps on the road, life took some better turns. Now I'm a full time game dev working with Unreal.

Now, with things and health in order, I plan to finish this project as a chapter and upgraded it. I REALLY learned a hell of lot on the past years. Won't promise you guys a date today but will keep you all posted.

Hope you are all doing well. Have a great weekend <3
Life happens. If you still have plans to tinker with this game, that's good to hear indeed. Bumped into the latest version by chance just this week. Good luck and be well.

Hello guys!

So, just finishing organizing all the game stuff. Still have everything safe and sound :)

Work is being planned in 4 phases (and please, don't be mad at me);

- Importing all content to my own framework on Unreal for dialogues and scenes;
- Sandbox aspect is being redone on the new engine;
- Grind is being reduced and some dialogues lines will be corrected and redone;
- New content will be added so we can finish the first part of the game (MC will move out from the hotel);

I'm sure changing engines is not gonna be a good thing for everyone but, like I said in my previous post, I work full time with Unreal now and its going to make things a whole lot easier for me. Ren'py can be a lot simpler and quicker to work with but I it just makes more sense for me.

Most of the game will flow with renders and dialogues, I wish I could make it all 3d real time but even If I could dedicate myself 24h a day doing all the animations, find voices and all the other things that comes with doing a game would be a massive undertaking.

With that said; most of the girls will be living 3D characters for us to admire but let's start small and make sure that we will cross the finish line.

I hope you all have a great week and, as before, won't promise dates but expect some previews very soon :)

Please have more foot licking content. I like the female student in this game, but there is not much foot licking content
Hope there are more language versions, such as Chinese

Quick update guys!


The current content is already fully imported into the new engine. A lot of the grind has being toned down. Unfortunately, for now, 3D stuff will be limited to my own stuff (licensing for the models are only given to pre rendered, 3d stuff requires extended licenses that I will have to budget in the future).

My day job is getting on a crucial part of development so I have little time left for now but I'm slowly working on it ;)

Will post some updates here this week. Have a good one!

Please have more foot licking content, such as barefoot, I really look forward to this game being born again. Thank you
One thing that I learned from my first run as a dev here is that we can't and shouldn't try to make everyone happy, specially being a solo dev. This time, even though I will still leave the "turn off" foot fetish option, the game will focus a lot more of foot fetish stuff. So yeah, there will be a whole lot more feet stuff :p

Quick preview for you guys!

Since licensing all the stuff that I used is a no go for now, I'm creating new environments from scratch. For instance; we are getting a new Office inside the University. You will walk around it and do some interactions but the story and animations will be pre-rendered.

First two images are renders done inside Daz and the last one is the same room playable on Unreal.

Will update you guys more this week!

Have a good one!

Just a little preview :giggle:.

Still won't promise any dates but I'm working hard on my free time to have a first version by the end of February.

And here I was, staring at that ancient build of Twin Hills Tale I could never quite bring myself to delete...so I hop on F95, see this game pop up on the first page of the search results, and hit it, hoping for a bit of nostalgia...

Damn glad to see you back, and I hope the dev work goes better this time!

Best part of the entire comeback! Always good to see a dev realize this fact, and go all in what sets their game apart.
