Hey,

Just a note to let you that Episode 19 is still ticking along and we're still aiming for an end of November release.

Current scene status:

Beach prelude (Katie, Lily, Debbie): Meet and greet while the girls sunbathe.
Status: Still images and script complete (first draft but will need some minor tweaks).

Bella & Elaine scene: Spend some time with Bella and then run into Elaine too and help her with some...stretching.....
Status: Still images and script complete (first draft but will need some minor tweaks). Currently reviewing whether we need an animation.

Beach House scene (Katie, Lily, Debbie): Do I need a description? We all know what's coming....
Status: Still images and script are a work in progress. And some initial work completed on animations. Approx 200 images are a work in progress and currently re-doing approx 100 images as we made some quality improvements and these older images don't match the newer / improved ones. There will be a LOT of artwork for this scene.

Wanda scene: Still images and script complete (first draft but will need some minor tweaks). Animations are a work in progress.

As mentioned previously, episode 19 will be smaller than the previous couple of updates. Also one other thing to note: Regarding the will / gold-digger saga, there won't be a huge amount of development on that front in this episdoe but don't worry..., we will definitely catch up on that in episode 20 with a couple of bombshells!
Thank you for sharing!

Hmmm, as someone here more for the story than the sexy bits (at this point) I may just wait until we get episode 20 next year (March?). Good to know they are still on target for a late November release for this episode.

game crashed playing 18, i think because i dont have speakers, could someone help?
That is a renpy issue, not a game issue. I've heard it happen before, but not sure how you would resolve it i'm afraid. Other than setting an audio device (whether you have one or not).

Ren'Py checks to see if your system actually has a working sound system and if it doesn't, it shuts down and gives you that error message. It means that either your sound device does not a driver or your speakers/headphones are not connected.
If the problem is just no speakers, plug in some headphones & see if that solves it.

Otherwise, extract the attached archive and copy the no_audio.rpy file into the "game" folder. This should disable Ren'Py audio debugging (not tested).

So the release window for EP19 is end of November? A user a few posts back was speculating about EP20 releasing in March?! Lol either things are a bit problematic on Cheeky's end or the episode has just that much content? Eitherway excited to see something new! :)

I can't give an exact date but we're aiming for end of January, although, Ep20 is aiming for some big bombshells and knowing acewinz and the amount of content he likes to put into his writing I'd probably say reasonably look for a late Jan to early/mid Feb.

He always blames cheeky, thanks for clearing that up. :D
Cell's estimates for EP20 sound good. I've already got a rough draft and scene list for the first scene for EP20 rolling while Cheeky and Cell are finishing up EP19 (Not that I won't be looping back to help with the final tweaks/testing for EP19).

And there is never any "blame" per say when things come up that could possibly set us back a bit. Like say... Cheeky getting ambitious during our last meeting and wanting to add another animation to a scene a couple weeks before we are supposed to push out the update... that I seconded and then we told Cell he can do it. :) OR when discussing the state of Wanda's animations and finding out Cell is producing 2 more animations there were planned initially. :p And of course there is me coming along with the supposed "artist eye" (despite not doing the art) which is probably just the effect of a higher resolution monitor, pointing out the few dozens of obscure render tweaks that nobody but me likely would notice for Cell/Cheeky to spot render, that likely makes Cell want to pull his hair out. :D There is a reason we have a "todo" channel called the sweatshop. ;)

So it's never a blame game as much as much as an intense game of hot potato. ;) No worries though, this is our usual process and it all comes together. And somehow we seem to enjoy it. :D Although after rereading that, seems Cell is the one the potato is usually landing on a lot. Ah, he just needs more practice is all.

You say there's no blame but somehow I always manage to blame you, it's weird.
