At some point when the game is complete, and I'm guessing there's not a whole lot left to the story, there is going to be a functional scene gallery within the complete edition?

Does anyone know how many episodes the developers intend to make? Currently playing episode 16 and I have to say this is the longest Renpy I've ever played and it seems like I haven't reached half of the story yet.

Probably around 30 episodes when finished but that's just an estimate. I don't think they have an exact number of episodes figured out yet.

Maybe. We were hoping the quickstart would suffice for that, but if the demand is there I think Cheeky will revisit updating the gallery.

Initial estimates were 25, but I think we would have to make them even bigger than they already are to meet that. I think we will go over a bit depending on how much cramming we do and that isn't counting the Epilogues.

Thx! That's what I thought after spending hours on this game. I love engaging story but I'm just worried that developers might drag this game for too long, especially right now I basically fuck every girl I've encountered so I'm just really curious (or more like worried) when my harem route might backfire. Have current episodes already required you to make hard choices like choosing only one of all girls?

Thanks for all your hard work! I just hope this game could keep up its quality through the end and have decent endings (including multiple girls ending that can fulfill my incessant lust) without dragging too long to accomplish.

Yeah, we definitely ended up with more side content than we intended. We just kept having ideas and then had to see them through. It is also very much CellStudios fault. Every time we ask for side characters who aren't attractive, he comes out with some models that are incredible and we end up using them in sexual ways... then the next thing you know they have backstories and arcs. CheekyGimp is honestly just as bad.

Anyway, that all said, we are definitely ready to move toward the ending while we tie up everything currently going on and there should be primary story progress every step of the way now till conclusion.

That's some genius/wicked moves you guys are doing that make us hard to focus on main courses LMAO! I guess I just need to keep up my story progress until I'm left with a large void to wait for next update :D

Well he likes Katie at least. :LOL:

You guys have gotten some bad reviews as of late. My favorite I think is the guy who bitched about you guys pushing your political agenda. Political Agenda? I mean what the fuck. Has Monica been walking around this whole time with a Trump bumper sticker on her ass and I just missed it? :unsure:

I didn't think the game was political either until the Theresa abortion clinic scene followed by the Wanda side trip to the Klan rally. A bit too on the nose if you ask me. And don't get me started on the MC stating his pronouns to everyone he meets! Who writes this stuff anyway? Oh well, my internet cafe time is up. Back to the monastery for me!

I think it is mainly because the early game is dated now, and we aren't overly worrying about it till we finish the game. Although I have seen some of the fiddling Cell has been doing when he finds spare time. The plan was initially just to update all the now gen8 chars to their final forms from day 1 once we are done, tweak some of the early game lighting, add some animations/better ones to some of the early sex (along with the updated mc gen8 and penis), and add music and possibly some musical sequences for effect while polishing the rougher prose.

But Cell convinced us that if we are going to re-render a lot of the early game anyway, why not update Monica's house along with it and I've seen the "new" place... it is sexy and vibrant. It is the same place, just all updated textures and an outside. Oh, and the characters like Monica who will be updated early, will also see updated clothing/outfits in the re-renderd stuff. When I saw the new dress she had on in the Episode 1 images Cell teased us with for what he had in mind, I actually had some pangs on nostalgia for the bluky red sweater dress she wore before... even though the new outfit was phenominal. Anyway, we just need to finish the game so we can do those things.

:eek: Cell wants to do more work and it's not on a pregnant librarian or some other fucked up thing. I find this hard to believe but can't wait to see it.

Wait. Wait. There's music in this AVN? Doesn't matter, I still wouldn't turn on the sound. Every single AVN I play, I play with the sound AND music off. Just too much of a distraction. Every once in a great while, when it's clear there's been a noise that MC has heard, and it seems like it's important to further the game, I will go back, turn the sound on, and play the scene again. But immediately after that, off it goes. For me, music and sound do NOT add anything to the game. I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but there you go.
