Same here also guilty about going on dates with more than just 1 since never was made clear to me if it ever became serious with any of them yet but the way the scenes and dialogue are done makes me think I should feel guilty.

Man aren't we a couple of weenies? lol


Also... So far the MC has been written really well.
Most 'games' I've played on this site seem to have
an MC that is a total wimp, idiot, loser....etc....

This MC has been written really well. I realize everyone
just dumps on him, but, looking at his Mother and how
she seems to have raised him, it really makes sense and
has been done smoothly.



Cheers

Hey, everyone!
You might have noticed that there wasn't a dev log last week, that's because I was "stuck" on the rework of the Prologue's content, so there wasn't much to talk about. I have a few things to talk about this week.

Chapter 3
Currently, I'm writing the scenes in character chunks so I can track the content better, with the exception of the branched scenes, which I am writing all at the same time.

I'm simultaneously creating new characters models and posing the scenes that I've already completed; given the substantial amount of content this chapter has, the sooner I get things done, the better.

Prologue Rework
As I had previously mentioned, I’m reworking some of the content from the previous chapters.
In the past few weeks, I finished reworking Kim’s lewd scene from the Prologue; I remade all the animations and created new ones. They now have more frames and will not be choppy anymore. I have also posed more static renders for that scene and added better dialogue to it. The majority of the content is in first person perspective for better immersion. Now it feels like a proper intimate moment with her.

The Prologue’s overall dialogue is quite bad, so I’m rewriting some of those scenes with better, less corny lines. I’m getting rid of that filler scene with the robot along with these changes (what the hell was I thinking when I wrote that?). I’ve posed better looking shots to follow the newer content and added more concise scenes to it.

All that’s left to do in the Prologue’s rework is render everything, which I will only do at a later date since I’m currently creating things for Chapter 3. DAZ is unusable if I’m rendering anything, not to mention that it takes forever to finish.

Lastly, make sure to vote in the LI’s special set . The next poll will be for the non-LI/side-girl.

Have a great weekend, everyone! :D

Interesting that Yesterdays Crossroads was using 25%
of my CPU resources when minimized in the background.
I was keeping it running and playing it a bit here and there so
it had been open for a few days.

i5-6600k stock @3.5Ghz
32 Gb RAM
onboard video...


No biggie...just thought interesting


Cheers all

lol damn I get nervous about my PC if I leave it on while I sleep but that find is interesting about this game I assumed it would use less than that since most of these games seem super easy on my system to run.

My thoughts as well since easy to run.

This computer stays on 24/7.
Has all the music and movies on it so I access
it from other parts of the house...so kinda like a server

After a reboot and starting, playing, minimizing YC, after a couple
hours it is only using 3% so I guess I'll leave it till tomorrow and see if there
is a leak or something. Like I said it's not a big deal at all, just a curiosity.

Hey, everyone!

This week, I focused on more writing and putting assets together in DAZ so I can start posing them. I concentrated on the scenes from the Christmas night event branching paths; these are divided into very long sequences among three different girls and are totally dependent on player choice. There is plenty to work on for these segments.

Starting today, the companies I work for my full-time job are going on a holiday break and will only return in January. This gives me two weeks of free time not only to finally get some rest, but also to have some extra hours to work on the game.

Speaking of Christmas, this month’s Patreon special renders set with Alessa and Vera is in the render queue now. I will release it as soon as I finish post-editing them.

Lastly, Michelle was chosen in the special in-game gallery with 41% (21 votes).

I will start working on it soon and will share one of the renders as a preview when I have them ready.

With this poll finished, a new one comes; this time for side girls/non-LIs. The side girls aren’t as many as the LIs; they are only Vera, Tasha, and Cynthia. You can vote for which one you want .

Have a great weekend, everyone! :D

Will the girls that are labeled has others gonna be able to have a relatioship with them ( like on BADIK)? CHAQUINN 0
Yup! With the exception of Sophie, who is Tom's girlfriend and Michelle's best friend, and Miriam, who is Zeke's, everyone is fair game. And I will add a lot of content for them as well like the HOTs in BaDIK, for example.

Are you still experiencing this issue?
I'm not sure if there is one, but I will look into it to see if there's anything causing the problem in my code.

Thank you for checking. I really appreciate it.
No I haven't had much of an issue. It was at 3% usage for a couple days
and I think bounced up to 9% once but has stayed low ever since. I just
thought it all kind of interesting...

Thanks again,
Cheers

Hey, everyone! :)
I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas (for those who celebrate it) and happy holidays!
As 2023 draws to a close, I want to express all my gratitude to each one of you for all your support through all the craziness I've experienced this year. Looking back, if it was at different times, I wouldn't have had the mindset to handle everything, but here I am and more than ever really excited for what's to come, all thanks to you.
I'm really excited about what’s to come for next year, and I hope to have all of you along the way.
