Oceanlab Heads up, you might wanna take "Previous winners:- Blackmail" off of your page as blackmail is now against patreons rules, along with any unconsensual sex.

 

[ustar]

may i ask? how to trigger the "donna scene"? after i had a fight with katie at the bar the MC just walked out at the bar and it's all done? pls help im new here

You CANNOT be at war with Katie. You have to replay the game and not abuse her.

 

[Ursus4321]

miru broke with me and now I am free. But I'm assaulted by a doubt, now that she's not my girlfriend anymore, if she fucks anybody, it's not ntr anymore, right?
And if she is pregnant she can no longer charge the child to the mc

 

[danford666]

thanks.looks good.

Can anyone speculate as to why he isn't making more $$$ on patreon? The render quality is great, lots of paths to choose from, also has NTR content. Why is he only making $500.00 a month after seven months? His thread here is pretty popular with 75 pages and 25 positive reviews.

Hey,

1. I fixed a bug I never knew I had.
2. Previews.
3. Est. release date

1. Bug fix.
From the day I made my first render till last week I was plagued by a certain "glitch".
Take a look at her shoulders/upper arm.

They have a massive gap between them and this weird thing always happened when I tried to move the arm closer to the body.
Another example

On renders were people walked, I had to move their arms away from the body (you will see this alot!) to prevent this. If I didn't, their arm got bigger than my electricity bill.
I wasn't able to use pre-poses. but now after 7 months of rendering I figured out that this wasn't normal.. Who would've thought.. :l
I had to clean my whole library of 250GB of assets.. Took me a whole day to find that corrupt morph.. and it was so fucking worth it.
It might seem like a little thing.. but it makes my work so much easier now.. I always had to work around this issue.

2. Previews
Drag into a new browser tab for a better look.

And the introduction of my favourite character.

(She got teasered in 0.1)
3. Release date
Estimated release date: July 25th - August 1th.
I am about 400 renders in.
You might think.. this is earlier than expected for a 1000+ render update.

Due to the huge increase of support from the last update, I found some extra motivation and at this level of increasing support, I can render without the risk of getting overhelmed by the electricity bill. (I normally stretch the rendering over 2-3 months, so that I can split the bill over 2 months of income.)
But the next update might take the usual 2 months again. I lost around 1/3 of my monthly income at the end of last month. So I might have to stretch it again.
I will soon open the fetish suggestions (Next one will be in 3 months.)
And I will do another poll soon.. for everyone above 1$ that might have a huge impact.

I guess she's MC's cousion, auntie's daughter, I barely remember her name. But MC did teasered her if you chose the right answer.

Because of said NTR, most people see that and just won't play it. even if it is avoidable.

what are renders

 

[JJsworld]

Damn, was hoping to bang the little sister...

No. Katrina was already in 0.3. This is a different girl.

The game is definitely underrated, story/character wise it's somewhat similar to DrPinkcake. I'm guessing it's:
- render quality/visuals ( while overall good, they are not the best, especially backgrounds)
- lacks some of polish/"production values" ( good music helps a lot)
- it's better to release big updates every few months ( that wow audience) than smaller ones that leave them wanting more

Wait so when was she teased in 0.1 i don't remember seeing her. If I'm remembering correctly 0.1 ends with katie seeing MC in the kitchen. Unless I'm blanking there wasn't any other girls shown unless it was the female receptionist during miru clinic visit but that was just a black screen.

 

[Riitesh]

And the introduction of my favourite character.

(She got teasered in 0.1)

I think she is MC's high school crush, Dana. She was mentioned in 0.1 when MC refused to have sex with Miru or got angry.

Wow i actually don't remember this part. I got to go playthrough it again. I usually skip through beginning dialogue after 0.2 dropped so i must've missed it.

Edit: Ok i played through. Wow i confused her with Monica this whole time. This what happens when you try to bang your relatives.

Good morning from grey terminal,

Where it all began isn't the first game you've played.
And if you have read my bio here on Patreon, you also know, that I've played a lot of games.

I always noticed that other developers don't use as many renders as I do.
Let's say.. they use 5 - 20 different renders for 40-50 lines of code in a normal conversation.
I use around 25 - 45 different renders. Many of them have simple changes like an eyebrow squeeze or a subtle smile. (Except for 0.1. This one was superficial.)

I've never seen people complain about the way other devs do this.
But I hear a lot of , "Oh, 1000 renders and the update is so short?"

My question now is.. should I keep doing this? Especially when there are so many different routes? Small changes that reflect every single mood change?
Or should I go more superficial? Like DmD, Life with pleasure and many other games.

I would be able to finish an update much quicker.. but on the other side it would lose depth.
But people don't seem to care about it. They seem to want "content."

Take a look at the amount of renders I used in 0.3.
~ 1200 renders and the scene with Helen & Scarlet in the livingroom.. Each line has a different render.
I could've finished this update with 600-800 renders.

Your choice, I'm fine with both.

Busty Raccoon vote counts triple.
