Thank you!
Yeah, it's been quite a lot of work over the past few months, but it's finally done, really excited to finally releasing everything.
I'm still trying to put the game on Steam, so after this update It'll be ready.

It won’t be necessary to start over, but if you want to experience all the new content, at least one new playthrough will be required. If you already have unlocked all sex scenes you can access them within the gallery replays, the reworked scenes replaced the old ones.



Don't worry, the LGBT content will not be forced upon you if you don't want both girls at the same time.
In Chapter 4, you will be able to spend (quite a lot of) time with Vera and Alessa separately, so you can decide whether or not you want to be with each one of them. Their break up will happen as the story develops, and if you have one of their routes active and the other inactive they will do it organically.

When I say LGBT content, don't expect anything else aside from Vera and Alessa, they are the only ones that will do it in the game. there's no sausage fest coming. :KEK:

As for Olivia, she has a lot more wholesome content coming for herself, and her father, in fact you gave me a great idea I can add to one of the things I started writing in this Chapter.
Do you already have your page on Steam?

honestly, I can't wait to restart my game I've been looking forward to the rework chapters more than new content

and once I have it I will replay the game over and over just like I do with Summer's Gone

Not yet, I still need to sit down and read through all the documentation. My country has some legalities I need to understand before as well, especially the hefty fee I need to pay and such.
But I will do it as soon as I have the reworks update released. :HideThePain:

I know, I'm in the same country as you, but I'm really happy to hear that you're thinking about putting it on Steam.

Dev Log - Reworks

Just now

Hey, everyone!
I’ve mentioned in previous dev logs that I’ve been reworking a lot of content from earlier chapters. This has taken quite a bit of time, as I’ve been juggling both the reworks and the development of new content. But now, the reworks are finally finished!
There’s a lot I’ve reworked: many dialogues have been rewritten for better clarity and flow, botched renders and animations were completely redone, and every sex scene, and I do mean all of them, were remade from the ground up.
I want to show you some of the key changes in the next update—though these aren’t the only ones. Everything will be listed in the patch notes when it’s released.

  • The ‘Misc.’ Gallery is now categorized, and you can select the characters individually.


There are also many new additions to the Gallery such as reworked bios including the newly added characters, new music tracks in the music player, poll winners full renders set, and, of course, new unlockable wallpapers.
These wallpapers will also be available in full HD (1080p) in the game’s folder, outside of the game client. Supporters will have them in 4K on Patreon/SS too.

Prologue:
  • I completely reworked the Keyla/Zeke house segment, adding new dialogues and renders, while removing the idiotic robot conversation (no idea why I even wrote that in the first place).

  • Kim’s sex scene is now totally redone (no explicit imagery to avoid issues on Patreon).


Chapter 1:
  • Extended Kimberly's chance encounter sequence. This will be available whether or not you go to the gym with Zeke. The dialogue will differ accordingly, and you can still decline her and avoid progressing into her route.

  • Added two extra scenes for Julia. This will give her more context, and let you get to know her better before inviting her out.


I also fixed the animations in the short cutscene that plays before her date segment, they are smoother and sharper looking now.

Chapter 2:
  • Extended Tasha’s conversation scene at the party.

  • Added a brief Vicky conversation scene at the party event;

  • Added a brief phone call scene with Olivia.

I also added a short animated cutscene for Michelle before the party segment. Patreon is having a hard time uploading and playing the gif file so I can’t show you how it is, but it’s good, trust me.

Chapter 3:
  • Added the option to go out with Liv during the trip, and if you want to, end the night with her at the hotel.


  • Added Alessa and Vera (lesbian) scene. This will only be available if you chose ‘BOTH’ while talking to Zeke at the gym’s locker room.

  • Reworked the interactions with Kim during the business trip:
-> The MC's reaction to Kim being nude in the hotel room changes depending on whether you chose to forgive her or not;
-> The cafeteria and snowball fight scenes will be skipped if you chose to go out with Liv and/or chose not to forgive Kim previously;
-> The option to call Kim and hangout with her at the end of Chapter 3 will not appear if not forgiven her previously;
-> You can now choose to ignore her when she is standing by the window at the hotel room.

This update will have all the missing content that was originally planned for Chapter 3.
I rushed Chapter 3’s release because there were A LOT o people commenting on my posts and sending me messages asking for it, which led to a disastrous launch with numerous botched images, grammatical errors, missing features, and some unresolved coding problems.
Moving forward, I will only release the updates when everything is finished. This way I avoid putting out incomplete and half-assed content.
Understand that I work alone, I have only one computer, but I am actively working on the game. Not a day goes by without progress, the updates will be out when they are ready to be released.
The reworked animations are now all rendering, there are a lot of them, so as soon as it’s all done, I will release a patch version, as well as the full updated game for download.
Thank you all for your continued support. Have a wonderful weekend! ❤
I'm not keen on reworking the old sex scenes; I think they were fine as is and I'd rather that time be spent correcting serious flaws or making new content.

But the rest of the changes sound pretty good, and I'd much rather wait for a finished product than get incomplete (if timely) updates. I do worry that we might get pigeonholed into actions depending on certain choices (for example, I wouldn't mind having a snowball fight with Kim even though I have no interest in restarting the romantic relationship), but I need see how things play out before I can judge the changes.

I'm looking forward to the new chapter, whenever it's finally ready!

You seem to be in a good mood right now, I should take advantage of it as much as possible.:Kappa:
Is Alessa+Vera the only triple relationship in the game?

Actually, it would be good for diversity if there was one more triple relationship path in the game that didn't have female gay content.:KappaPride:

"new unlockable wallpapers.

Would be nice if a colored version of the render of Riley from the select screen was one of them.

"Added the option to go out with Liv during the trip, and if you want to, end the night with her at the hotel."
But I want more...After Riley, Liv next please.

"The cafeteria and snowball fight scenes will be skipped if you chose to go out with Liv and/or chose not to forgive Kim previously;"
So not forgiving Kim in order to be able to go out with Liv is no longer a requirement?

For people who are avoiding this gay scene, will there be an alternative scene instead, like Alessa calling Mc on the phone and telling him that she and Vera are no longer on good terms (just one example), if there won't be an alternative scene, it will feel like a skippable scene to me.
I'd rather watch or just skip that lesbian scene than see Alessa break up with Vera because of the mc, which unfortunately will happen.

I'm not keen on reworking the old sex scenes; I think they were fine as is and I'd rather that time be spent correcting serious flaws or making new content.

(y) It kinda sucks that the dev had to rush Chapter 3’s release because of impatient people.

The dev already answered:

And no, this is an AVN. The dev doesn't need to add that type of diversity for the sake of politically corectness...:rolleyes:

Not really grasping the 'organic' part that Chaq keeps saying....are you? The MC will not be the cause of the them breaking up (if you go that way).

Unless there's another reason for the break up, it's obviously because of the mc but not as in it's his fault, directly causing it, but him reappering in Alessa's life, him not being ok with a throuple and Alessa having to choose him over Vera.

Clutching dude....that's like saying something you threw on the floor caused 25 other chain events to happen culminating in a child being hit by a truck.

Chaq said will be organic...thus MC not involved/the cause (other than at some point, for AVN choice purposes, we make a choice as the player for that to happen, though for all we know, the split could be the natural storyline even if we are not interested in either of them.....).

I don't want to spoil what's coming, but here are some topics to keep in mind...
  • The only thing that will keep Vera and Alessa together is the MC. If he is, or isn't, in their individual paths their split will happen regardless. Only the throuple will keep them happy together;
  • The only three-way in the game will be Vera and Alessa though. There is a thing with Kimberly at some point, but that is hardly considerable;
  • You can still get the lesbian scene, even if you don't intend on being with both of them, just make sure to choose 'both' while talking to Zeke, and then if you don't want anything else, you can either not call Alessa later on, or choose to be with 'one' girl while talking to Vera on the phone. There is a third choice coming in Chapter 4 to put you on the throuple as well, just pay close attention on what you intend to do.

Sure, I will put these wallpapers there as well, from all girls. :D

Riley's coming in Chapter 4, there is something good with her, just make sure you were supportive of Zeke at the start of Chapter 3.
Liv is going to have a comeback, the trip wasn't the last we saw of her.

You can go out with Liv regardless, she will ask you out at the end of the second day, before the snowball fight with Kim, and you can accept of reject her at this point and will not affect Kim's relationship if you don't intend to.

Congratulations to the publisher for its effort in wallpapers...
It's also pretty cool that he overhauled scenes and added new details to old episodes...
Your game is going to make us very difficult in the elections...
Moreover, this will apply to events outside of relationships...

Even though the message I wrote before was deleted because of a single word, I will write it again...
Alessa and Vera are two women who have met before because of bad ex-boyfriends.
The game is based on choices and quite free I understand that.
But how much sense would it make for them to break up for a new man?

What kind of nonsense is it to want to separate girls when they have accepted the "threesome" relationship that is the biggest fantasy of men?

Have you read explanations right above few posts of your's? They will split up anyways, it's actually MC who can keep them together, he is not the reason of their breakup.
Also I didn't see anybody attacking their relationship per se.

What kind of nonsense is it to want to separate girls when they have accepted the "threesome" relationship that is the biggest fantasy of men?
Indeed, wanting to have a normal monogamous relationship with one girl, what a nonsense, some people are just insane (/Sarcasm)
As for "biggest fantasy of men" - that's like your opinion - so speak for yourself please. Thank you.

I mean if you read the post by the dev you would have your answers

Not my fantasy in fact I would much rather have 1 girl than 2. I do not like threesomes , I only every play throuple paths just to see them. Both girls would have to be very special for me to even want to entertain a throuple and both would have to agree to share ( no threesomes at least most of the time I might entertain the idea once in the while if they want it)
