Hey Folks,
Just wanted to start by saying thanks again to all of you for the support over the past couple of months. It really is much appreciated. It's now eight days since the early release of 0.06 has come out, and the feedback so far has been very positive (just one minor continuity error in a single render that I've since fixed). It was a struggle getting it out in time for the 25th, but I took most of the last week off work, so it worked out well (and just in time). I literally spent every free minute working on the game, but I loved every second of it. I really enjoy the process and especially the interaction with people who play the game, so please continue to provide feedback (positive or constructive) as this really does help me improve as I go.

I have Day 4 fully mapped out. There's very little script completed and a small number of renders, but I have the plan for each scene complete and most of the environments/lighting set up, so I'm happy with the progress. At the moment, compared to the previous days, it looks to be bigger (in scope, expected script size and total number of renders) than previous days, so I need to figure out how the release will look, i.e. will the next release cover the entire day (which I was hoping for) or like previous releases, use two episodes to cover a single day, so will keep you posted..... But either way, there will be a release this month.

It'll depend on what can be trimmed, what can be pushed and what makes sense from a story progression. I want to continue to keep pushing to make the game more immersive where each decision matters, re-percussions are felt and characters dialog / actions reflect previous decisions & actions. So keep me honest and call bullshit if this doesn't seem to be the case as you play it!

There'll also be a couple of polls and some teaser pics coming soon.

And will leave you with another quote from the bard:

"Love All, Screw a few and do wrong to none!"

All those who I talked about this game are thanking me very much, and enjoying it very much, as I said this game is great.

So which version should i download, the 0.05a linked in OP or 0.05 from devs patreon ?

 

[CheekyGimp]

So which version should i download, the 0.05a linked in OP or 0.05 from devs patreon ?

The 0.05 on Patreon. The "a" versions come out first for the $10, $5 patrons (a = alpha or early release). The version without the "a" will usually be the same, but may have one or two changes /improvements / updates (based on feedback from the "a" versions)
The 0.05 will have a couple of new images that weren't in 0.05a (nothing worth a new replay, but just where you had an option to touch an NPC, the feedback was that people wanted to see the MC's hands doing the touching in the next image so I added that). And also fixed a few typos...

Just a few more days to wait. Can't wait to see where the story goes

This game has really good writing.Lot's of hot scenes and the sexual tention between characters is incredible.The only let down is the lighting in some of the scenes,removing roof and off camera walls to light the room with HDR is common but then you have to use soft light because hard light looks very out of place and casts ugly sharp shadows. Maybe that is something the dev can experiment with in the future updates. Also hopefully we get to kick Katie's ex boyfriends ass in future episodes, spreading those nasty lies about our sweet potty mouthed angel :angel: Anyway i hope the wait for next update wont be too long

Yep, I agree with your comments on the lighting in some scenes. Finding the right light is a killer. I constantly re-render / experiment, but each episode it comes down to timing. I could continue to make tweaks and constantly re-render (and would love to get it perfect), but I usually have to find the sweet spot between this and actually getting out an update. Hopefully as my skills progress, it'll continue to improve or some time down the road, I could hire some help.

[Ignatz]

Maybe people like the dev and would like to see him make a little money this early in his game's development.

 

[Renetta]

It's not like this Dev doesn't have enough patreons but they seem to be VERY loyal to him because i haven't spotted 0.6 in any other site either. Good for the Dev but bad for us poor bastards

Well at least is just a 2-week difference for the release between patreons and followers, and not a monthly or bi-monthly thing. All in all, things could be much worse like 0.1 demos (or no up-to-date versions) only, that could also be behind paywalls, and finally, no free versions to pull in new patreons.

 

[Le Taz]

At least it's a quality game so it's worth the wait
