Something has changed in ... well I'm not sure. Maybe the browser security. Something. The free, online version of the game gets stuck before you can even open the freezer tube. I'm working on a fix. Right now it's an awful work around that affect the game play. So for those of you waiting for the latest free version to drop I honestly don't know when. I've literally wasted 2 weeks trying to fi...

If you have build 20211124 please grab this hot fix. Install over top of your existing install to preserve your save games. This fixes the game freezing with Morgan's milking scene. If you have a version older than Alpha 19 it's advisable uninstall before updating. This will remove the save games but it's unlikely they would work any way.

This next release will probably not have an installer. It will just be a zipped folder. I'll be delivering the files in an un-packed state because that's been the issue with Tyrano Builder. The part that packs the files for distribution can't handle a game ove...

We're on pause this month. I haven't got enough finished to release anything. The Last scenes for Natural Hookup are rendering but it's a slow process.

Nope I haven't left the planet, though hitching a ride to Mars has been tempting. I've got the first sequences of the next scene in Hookup rendered and assembled. Once the rest of the branches of this are ready I'll be able to wrap that project.
Here's the animations so far. Stay tuned for more

I thought maybe if I used a motion blur I might get away with fewer samples on the girl's skin and not have it look all speckled. Clearly that didn't work. I'll attach a composited video that ... that's extremely WIP and won't be used.
Instead I've found a de-noiser that allows me to render fewer samples and not have it look noisy. That's the still image above. I still used DOF but I like...

Yeah really ... I actually worked on the Natural Hookup!
This release includes lots of new animations and concludes one of the Beach story lines.
You can access the Public version at New Grounds
I seem to have been focusing on The Natural Hookup so I'll have a bit of an update for that in a day or two. I wanted to get more done but the animation take forever to render. We'll be starting down the "Call Servant" branch from the beach shower. I think I've already kind of revealed who that servant might be.
