Weren't Bella and Jolina at each other's throats for the last two updates?

That concept is absolutely against anything the Internet stands for.You know, the time you wasted, ranting about a simple question, could have been better spent ANSWERING IT.

Dev Update 12th December
Hey folks,
Just a check-in to let you know how things have been going. Starting today, I'll aim for regular weekly updates every Thursday, plus any adhoc updates as items come up. Speaking of which, I'm never sure if I give too little / too much details in my updates OR if there is something else you want to see / hear about, so let me know...
So, full disclosure... I took three days off last week and spent some time with the family, so I didn't get a full week's work in. This week, I've been back in the saddle and things have been going slow but steady on Episode 25. Things are always a little slow at this phase (as there is a lot of planning / re-planning, etc.), but overall I'm happy with progress. Other than animations, we have the artwork finalized for three FULL / large scenes (Jo solo, Bella solo, and a Jo/Bella scene). Note: The Jo and Bella solo scenes can/will still happen even if you're dating both (so it's possible to play all three scenes), they will just be slightly different depending on the relevant paths. Or it's also possible to get none of these scenes (depending on previous choices). The "solo" scenes will be at the start of the episode and the threesome scene will either be in the middle or near the end of the episode (depending on paths). I don't want to go into too many details as I don't want too many spoilers.
Here is a teaser from the Jo/Bella scene:
At the moment, I haven't fleshed out the writing for ALL of these scenes, so I can't say any of them are finished, as I'm still putting all the branching options together and figuring out how many different iterations of each scene I need, but overall, I'm a lot less confused than I was last week and I've fully made the mental switch from all the Season 1 paths / variables to episode 25 path / variables (took a little while to get there.)
The next scene we're working on is a romantic / date night with Jenna, which will also happen near the start of the episode (again, depending on previous choices...). For this scene, Cell and I were gonna mix things up a little and give Jenna a new hairstyle and new glasses for the date and we came up with this look...
Initially, we liked it, but then we both sorta came to the conclusion that we didn't like, so we backed out and went with our tried and trusted original...
And a further glimpse of what's to come in the date...
Reminder: No ETA for episode 25 completion yet (or Season 2), but I'll give some estimates next month, once I get a few weeks run at it and can gauge progress.
Thanks,
CG

Thanks for the update. It's always nice to hear about what's happening.
Think you made the right decision to stick with the old(er) look for Jenna. That new look is nice but it's like a completely different character. Bit too much of a change IMO.
But... I have a total blind spot where it comes to Bella. I don't remember her at all.

Oh, right, the one that bought the MC's things to the house. Thanks for that.
I always avoided her on every playthrough, there was something odd about her.
When it's completed I'll give her a run and see what she's about. Till then, Lily overshadows all the others

Please, enlighten me on your understanding of how this game needed to be remastered because of Patreon's rules.

because Cheeky wanna make some money for his work.....
OK, that is the actual reason he remastered the game, but what do "Patreon's increasingly draconian rules" have to do with it?

I actually think the remaster was quite necessary. The old version was subpar. The difference between the first and latest episodes is huge!

That was a quality issue, which I dont think anyone argues.
But a few posts ago, it was suggested (also) due to Patreon, which I dont believe is accurate.

I agree on the necessity, i still think that reworking all the game one chapter away from the completition was a dick move. The only one reason why they did it is because if the game was completed already the hype for the rework would have been a lot inferior. And all time fine, both freeloaders like me and dutiful paying patreon had several years artificially added to wait for the end of the game.

Patrons could unsub until the Steam release if they didn't want to support the rework. Everything was explained clearly.
