I just finished reading the the start of the story and the latest update.
Very impressed with the writing and how things are handled
Very clever using movie titles as part of the actual game

This one's a keeper I'll continue reading it

No I get that. I just wanted to point out that instead of letting people presure me into changing MY story, I have begun another one. I Currently have over 20 Game Plot/Idea/Outlines and I continue to come up with more. I have one planned that Is set in a dystopian future called Tribe of Man. I have one set in a Sci-fi future called Fragments in the Void. I have one set in the present that involves a Guy who works for a moving company called Moving Up. I have one set in a dark near future alternative timeline called Marwood Academy. And the one that will be my main focus after UC8 is about a man who finds out that the millionare who used to mentor him at summer camp every year was actually his real dad and now as one of his 5 heirs, has to compete in a world wide scavanger hunt to win his father's company and wealth. While simultaniously competing against and geting to know his half/step siblings. This game will be called Will Call.

Each of these stories will be their own unique tale. Some will be harem, some will not. Some darker and more sinister, some light and almost juvinile. My hope is to actually build a company over the next 5 years that is putting out 3-4 games simultaniously. UC8 is only the begining...

I picked up UC8 around 4 days ago and I'm glad I did
Your work is amazing and I'm looking forward to the next chapter
I'm glad you're keeping the children his children and not soiling them
There are some things that don't need this.

Besides he has so many other women to play with
Great work I'm looking forward to seeing what else you have in store
From the post I've read it seems you're only going to do a year for this particular story
In that case may I suggest a sequel maybe a few years ahead in time let's say we jump ahead 2 years
I am so proud of the way you're handling PSD no I'm not a military vet but I did suffer a traumatic event in my life with cause PTSD.
And I can tell you it never goes away you learn to manage it a smell a site can turn it back on very quickly
So please make sure you continue using his online therapy in the episodes.

As someone who's gone through PTSD I can tell you having someone to talk to a counselor really helps
Looking forward to what you're doing next

Fun game so far.
Just glad the grown ups look hot and have adult hairstyles and colors rather than the punk hair & tats.
Cool that I can just ignore the girls I don't like too.
Thanks

You can only get with the daughter if you decide she's actually not your daughter(as in you get to decide the results of the paternity test and only if it's negative does she become a love interest).
Yes, that's the way the game will be written... now, if someone writes a little code to change the not daughter route into a daughter route, I can't stop that...

Most recent "episode" or "release" was really late September / really early October. Best guess at next release is probably January ish. There is a fair bit to play thru already so consider giving it a try currently, and if you like it, could throw the dev a few $ as a supporter starting for December :)

I think the last update cycle was something like 4 months. Before that even longer iirc. So unlikely we'll get a new update this year. You can play it now, there is plenty of content.

The last public release was the first of October 2024.
The next episode is almost double the size of this last one.

The script is fully written(with the exception of lewd discussion which I write after the animation is completed). Day one is complete as well as all of the scenes that take place in the coffee shop (each morning before work)

There will be 2 lewd scenes plus aditional naked glimpses. The majority of the coming update takes place in the theater.

Much of the episode focuses on Erin, however we do interact with multiple women. More crew are hired to help run the place. There's a pool party at the house. Kinley has a birthday and makes new friends. And we began to discover and resolve the issues around why Kayla has been cranky lately(the porch scene for example), and why she is so extreemly buff.

I was originally hoping to get the update out by Christmas Eve, but, although I can set up forty to fifty renders a day, my rig can only crank out about 30 completed renders each night, so I have to stop every few days and just go a full 36 hours of rendering to try and keep up. At this rate, the next release(which will feature aprox 1600 renders and at least 13 animations) will be after the first of the year. Most likely late January.

Sorry for the wait, but I can only go as fast as my equipment will let me. I'm trying.

Great game so far. I recently started on episode 3, and noticed that I stopped having the achievements appear in the achievements list (from the main menu). The last one is #25 Housekeeping. There is only one slot remaining. I have since received notices of achievements (starting with #27), but I didn't see #26 and it never populated. The subsequent ones don't show or have slots on the page even if they did. I'm running the walkthrough mod posted on the OP, so I'm not sure if that's the issue or not, but I'm hoping someone can tell me if this is a bug with the game or the mod or something else?

I'm not sure about the new mod, the original mod was done by Sancho, and unfortunantly we lost him last July. If you're still using the old sancho mod, that would be the issue. I haven't tested the new KoGa3 mod, so I honestly know nothing about it. I will have to check it out soon, but I haven't heard anyone else express any issues...
