By far my favorite Renpystyle game. Story progresses perfectly at a nice pace with each character that gets more romance and lustful events every episode. And each character has an interesting personality, the dialogues are great.

This is without a doubt my current favorite game. Everything up to now is very well done, so the two things that I'm very excited for and looking forward to are:
1. Jenna's transformation. She has changed quite a lot so far, but I wonder how her transformation is going to be handled both in terms of physical appearance as well as implementation to the story. How will she act in the future? How will the other characters react to her change?
2. Harem route (if any). I'm not sure if harem route is going to exist in the game or not, but if there is, it's always the number one thing that separates good games with the great games. It's easy to write story when it's just one-on-one. What will bring the game to next level is how to write the story when there are a lot of characters involved. A few examples for this game would be:
1. Jenna's transformation. She has changed quite a lot so far, but I wonder how her transformation is going to be handled both in terms of physical appearance as well as implementation to the story. How will she act in the future? How will the other characters react to her change?

It's easy to write story when it's just one-on-one. What will bring the game to next level is how to write the story when there are a lot of characters involved. A few examples for this game would be:
- Katie and Jenna are the opposite when it comes to personalities, how will they interact with each other if they have to share the MC? Heck, how would MC break the news and somehow make both happy?
- How will Monica feel and react if she found out that MC is also having relationships with her daughters? What would have to happen to make her accept it?

The dev attempts to co-opt that attitude, but he has not yet (TM) his name. I am glad you show the same courage to stand up to such an infringement on our personal freedoms!

Folks,
Just to be clear, unless there is a complete disaster I'm still expecting to release an Episode 7 before the end of the month and if all goes well, it should be closer to my current due date of the 24th, rather than the very end of the month.

Speaking of Cheeky...if you have your reading glasses handy, try this out for size. Consider this even more time to head over and pledge!
Start of week update (Long version)

Hey All,
Apologies for being quiet over the past week, but I've been working on the game consistently, so I avoided all forums / postings. I took Thursday & Friday off work to work on the game and worked continuously for the past 5 days (4x18hr days Thurs-Sun and 7hrs tonight after I got home from work) to try to get some shape onto Episode 7.
At the end of Thursday, I concluded that some of the pre-party scenes were rushed / too short and ALL of party scenes I created were absolute shit and needed to be completely re-done (When I completed a playthrough, I didn't like the scenes / revenge plot or any of the script that I had written),
So that's when the panic set in. On a positive note, with the exception of one scene, I was happy with the renders / images.
The past few days have been the only time since I started the game that I did not enjoy the Dev process. And although I always feel a bit of self-imposed pressure, this is the first time that I had some actual panic.
So I had to make a lot of changes, move a lot of stuff around and the bottom line is that....
I WILL have a playable episode out by the end of this week. It will be average length compared to previous episodes (images/script) and I am now happy with the quality of it. However, it is pretty much ALL based on the build-up to the party, which means that most of the party will be in the next release. But you shouldn't have to wait as long (approx. 3 weeks) for the next release as it will be an extended version of Episode 7 (similar to the 6X version for Episode 6).
Summary:
Episode 7 out this week (standard length). Episode 7X (completes the party) will be out in Mid October.
I committed to completing the ENTIRE party scene this month, but that's not going to happen, so.... for any $10/$5 patrons that paid for September, I'll ensure that you get Episode 7 this month AND Episode 7X next month, even if you reduce / delete your pledge at the end of this month.
Also: Although I have not yet reached my planned goal for hiring some help, I am going to go ahead and advertise/hire an additional member to the team, as I've learned this month that a one-man band is not enough to keep up with the required pace!
Apologies for not getting everything into this month, but it was just too much to cram in.

Don't sweat it @CheekyGimp . Sometimes things just don't turn out as planned, these things happen. I am perfectly fine with the delay. Thank you for being honest with us about it and for keeping us in the loop!

@CheekyGimp Don't feel obligated to put out a release every month! Putting in four 18 hour days is overkill. I think I speak for everyone when I say you should just work at a comfortable pace, and put out whatever you have done. There is no need to push yourself so hard to get to the finish line you set for yourself a month previous.
Your work is going to be fantastic whether it gets done now, next week, next month, or next year. Don't sweat it!

It is a very good thing he hasn't beaten himself into putting out a follow up update 2 weeks later like the last time.
Average sized monthly updates and more story for the player are all to the good and nothing to feel guilty about.
And he should really stop taking time off work for his game starting yesterday. That's crazy.
