Hi All,

Just wanted to let you know the latest on episode 18:

All artwork is complete: Lots and lots of artwork this episode and plenty of animations.

Writing is 95% complete.

Error - checking: Still lots of error-checking / branching to complete. The coding in these games is pretty simple. However, due to the nature of WTHI, the sheer volume of variables, decisions, branches that we use makes it very time-consuming to track, check and re-check that all branches and variations work. There are very few games (if any) out there that tracks this amount of variables/paths so just wanted to point out that this is a big part of the final process.

Still on for a release before the end of this month. Cannot give an exact day yet because it's difficult to foresee how many errors / inconsistencies we'll run into as we check each decision / variable.

And I guarantee that Episode 19 (Beach House, Elaine & Bella plus more) will have a much quicker release time, especially considering we have already completed a lot of the base material.

Scenes in Episode 18:

Monica date (Full-day, extra, extra long scenes & plenty of xxx extras)

Zarah: xxx scene

Short individual appearances by Katie / Debbie / Lily to build the scene for the beach house. Full Beach House scene will be episode 19

New Character: xxx scene. I know there's already enough characters in the game to keep track off but don't worry, you can rule this one out of the gold-digger suspicion list.

Theresa: xxx scene

The will: Some more insights will be given into the will, gold-digger and MC's future. But this is WTHI, so we won't make it too easy for you...

As usual, please let me know any questions or comments in the comment section below or via direct message.

Thanks,

CG, Ace, Cell

The characters in the preview images kinda scare me, as they look in a way, pale and unlively. Don't get me wrong, I like pale, but this looks like the characters are dead amd been in the morgue for 3 days.

Well. I am disappointed that this episode appears to focus on the characters I'm not fond of, but I recognize that everybody needs a little lovin'. Nice to know it's on path for release soon.

The initial renders don't really represent the current quality. Though you will have to get a few updates in. I think you see the biggest upticks around EP 6-8 and then 16. For example the most recent Jenna post zombie form.

game definitely gets an uptick in render quality but I think the screenshots currently in the OP are offputting for new players (at least it was for me)

imo you should petition the mods to edit the preview screenshots and banner in OP so the game's quality is more accurately presented

The Monica part is a massive date so quite a large event.

Hers is the big event of the update.

It's planned. After this update a lot of chars got upgrades from gen3 to gen8 and after release we are hopefully gonna have a new banner and going to update some of our screens with the mods help. :)

Ya, the potential for not being interested in the spotlight characters was a concern for us as well. But we included the ability to spend time with the characters even on their non-romance routes, and doing so can provide both information, an enjoyable experience, and in Monica's case

And as I also said before here, I think some of you that didn't find at least Zarah's model appealing before, may have a change of heart or some other body part.

So we are going to likely include a way back into her good graces if you are so inclined and show some interest. :)

Though you can opt out when on the non-romance Monica and Zarah paths, I highly recommend you don't. There is both plot and backstory you can find on both paths... aside from some pretty epic bedroom antics.
