CheekyGimp Well, finally caught up. Still as great as always though a couple of the new character models are not exactly to my taste....I think the originals that were perfectly fine whould have been left, everything else looks great though.

Love the new characters introduced, especially Porsche and Evie, Scarlett is also a lot of fun. However, my main bugbear and it's noticeable on a few paths (I have like 18 path saves), is if you are on a pure single girl route, when asked if seeing anyone else...just let us say no godamnit. Makes you look like a right schmooze and player when you can't 'honestly' say no, I'm seeing no one else at the moment or no one at all for solo paths. This even happens on the Jolina path if letting her stay and you are solely on her path...when mentioning action in the bed. Same with Scarlet when she asks and I've not slept with anyone throught the entire game! Just give us the option to say no. Please?

Shame it's finally coming to an end, I just hope we get (unpopular opinion incoming) proper Natasha (I actually do like her), Porsche and hopefully Evie and maybe Bubbles endings! Keep up the great work and can't wait for the next update.

I'm pretty sure there's a Nat ending. Not sure about Porsche or Evie.

Hi folks,

Just to keep everyone in the loop. Work on the re-do is going well, although I am spending a LOT of time on art, rather than re-writing as there is just too much work for a single artist so I'm working with Cell in the art department. This is our last shot at this and we'll never work on those early episodes again, so we want to get it right. I'm probably being a bit fussy, but we are re-doing some of our already previously re-done art as there was some stuff which I wasn't 100% happy with. We've also added quite a few animations so far (with some help from a really good animator sub-contractor) and have added a LOT of extra images / content in addition to just re-doing the old stuff. At this stage, we have completed a first pass on the artwork for episodes 1-9 (minus some animations and the model agency Wanda/Angel scene). This is a first pass on the art, so will still require some error correction and post-work (photoshop work, etc.). As mentioned previously we have extended a few scenes and plan on adding a few extra ones, namely extra solo time with some of the of the girls. We have also decided that the re-do Season 1 will cover episodes 1-10, not 1-9 as previously planned.

For anyone thinking about renewing for next month or curious as to what the plans are, I would stress that I foresee the vast majority of our time this month and next month working on the re-do, so if you have no interest in the re-do, then please feel free to drop your subscription. I'd rather lose Patrons than have unhappy / disgruntled people spending their hard earned money on a Dev who may not be focusing on their area of interest (Re-do, rather than episode 25).

I am aiming to get Season 1 onto Steam (and here on Patreon) before jumping back full-time on episode 25, although I am spending a small bit of time jotting down ideas / script for episode 25, but that's really to ensure everything stays fresh in my head off the back of episode 24. I don't want to project too far into the future regarding commitments and timelines as it is difficult to predict anything (And I always under-call it), so as we draw closer to the end of this month, I'll let people know exactly where things stand and what the focus will be in December (and how close we are to finishing the re-do season 1), so you can make informed decisions about cancelling / renewing pledges.

This weekend, I'll post a detailed blow-by-blow of the re-do process and will share a lot of sample images.



As always, questions and comments below or send me a DM,



Thanks,



CG

Well, he is being honest with his patreons and I appreciate it.

I get that he wants to be on Steam to get a proper economic return on his work, and I get that to be on Steam and make a good impression on that mainstream market he has to re-do early episodes. Otherwise publishing on a mainstream platform with suboptimal (and obsolete) quality would backfire his image and thus his present and future earnings on that platform (and on any mainstream platform).

So, while I certainly would like to see how the story unravels as soon as possible, I'm with him in this re-do operation for the sake of his legitimate interest, and also for the sake of the quality of future Ep 25 and Epilogue.

He has basically two options:

A) focus on the re-do for the next months so he get a good quality version of Season 1, he publishes it on Steam and he gets good money so he can then focus on Ep 25 and Epilogue without any money-tightness related stress.

- or -

B) rush to write Ep 25 and Epilogue in a "quick and dirty" fashion, so he can quickly move onto the re-do of Season 1 to publish on steam and have a legitimate economic return on his work.

I surely prefer option A.

I played from start without having a mod only for the last chapter and the result was bad.... I had a lot of the girls walk away and to keep relationship with the main characters i had to play the last chapter 3-4 times... I hope with the mod that things will be easier...and more fun...

Hi folks,

I know it's a day late: Patreon wouldn't save my draft, so I had to re-do this whole fucking post. (The irony of re-doing a post about the re-do is not lost on me.) Anyway, here are some details on the re-do.

As mentioned before the Season 1 re-do will cover episodes 1-10. If you have any suggestions of stuff that you would like to see changed in episodes 1-10 (stuff that you didn't like in the original), please let me know. I'm not going to cater to every whim, but your suggestion might be something I agree with (but just didn't think of), so feel free to get your suggestions into the comments below.

So, what are we changing? Artwork, script, gameplay and GUI/interface. And also adding music and sound fx. In order of complexity / amount of time needed, (from least to most) these are:

That's a nice improvement for Zarah, she was the only real avoid for me in this, years ago I remember asking if her face was inspired by Marhan from Indiana Jones.
