Hi all,
I've just released the test version of 0.2 to the testing tier so I am hoping they all download it and give me some great feedback to help make it even better! I am going to REST a little today because I realized I did over 250+ renders in literally only about two weeks or so and went pretty hard! My poor computer hates me. My tan too. (none left)

Hi all,
Making this a public post this time. I have good and bad news. The bad news is that based on what I left to do, I think I need to move back everything about 3-4 days or so from my goal of tomorrow. I am on the very last scene, but it's quite a lot ...
2020-06-28 15:01:07 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
Just typing quick because I want to get back to everything!
First draft of script is finished, the total word count will likely change after some more editing, but a guesstimate is the script will be between 22 to 23 thousand total words or so.
I had a bad setback with losing 8 renders with a very stupid mistake I missed (a small thing on a character's ...

Ok, another update. I know the basic question likely on everyone's mind is how it is looking for June 27-28? Honestly, I'm going to move my goal back one day to June 28-29, but I think I have a good chance to make that date because I am hoping for two full days to just ...
2020-06-21 16:55:41 +0000 UTC View PostJust writing quick, stayed up late last night and waking up too late today! Just sharing that I'm plugging away and last night got exactly to 455 renders so I kind of was happy that I matched 0.1! It's a little tougher just physically sitting that long going hard with hours, so I am tweaking very slightly with slightly longer than one hour breaks (to exercise and move around as I'm ...
2020-06-18 13:01:53 +0000 UTC View PostSince this is likely my final public post before an actual release, posting what I have told my Patrons but without pics because Patreon is a little strict on showing adult images on a public post. :)

2020-06-14 17:57:23 +0000 UTC View PostOk, I have to report that I am having SEVERE trouble making the Veronica model look close to the picture from the voting poll. I have tried about five different haircuts (including the one in pic) and messed around with her makeup, and I'm just not happy with her. I am going try some more later today, but if this doesn't go well, I might just buy about four models or so, and try the...
2020-06-10 11:09:57 +0000 UTC View PostShort and sweet, as I am still a bit sluggish recovering this week. (of course, with COVID out there you wonder anytime you get sick, but I'm good to go on that one)
So I tried to think of some scene ideas for Dominique and Kane, just vote for your favorites and you can comment with "other" if you have specific ideas. Now I kind of imagine Dominique differently than say Juliet...
2020-06-06 23:59:48 +0000 UTC View PostOk, I'm still a little sick but managing to do some good music and edits right now. I have play tested three sub tracks from start to a specific point, and they tested 28,29, and 31 minutes with I think average reading speed so the final 0.2 for subs might be between 45-75 minutes for an average player? I am guessing about an hour plus of play, a little more than 0.1 which I timed under a...
2020-06-05 07:52:31 +0000 UTC View PostThis post is quickly for the public that do not see my Patron updates. As of 5/31/2020, I have hit 290 renders and a little over 10,000 words. I would say that is over 50% overall of the entire update, but not sure the exact percentage. For reference, Episode 1 was 18,500 words and 455 renders. Based on where I am and what is going on I gave some possible release windows...
2020-06-04 20:34:23 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
EDIT: I have successfully resolved this issue pending minor tweaks and will be tweaking the page further tomorrow, but all is well. You may have noticed a few already and I'm working on making sure it's not an issue in the future. It was a little stressful and adding to feeling like crap the last two days, and I still have a fever!!! (ugh) I hone...
2020-06-04 01:05:06 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, I see my inbox is a little full, and I promise to get on them later today or tomorrow as I actually have caught a fever (first time in like two years!) and don't feel so great. :(
I'm going to rest up a bit and see if I feel better, ugh. I'm also seeing the strange world of Patreon at the start of the month when I see some declined cards, fluctuating stats and n...
2020-06-02 07:43:11 +0000 UTC View PostSo just a few housekeeping updates, and sharing a little more about some design philosophies behind how I am doing things. So with punishments, I like the idea of trying to allow some variation where possible for three main reasons: 1) it allows players to tailor their punishment to some extent (I can't do every fetish in the world with each choice of course!) 2) it allows players to AVOI...
2020-05-26 19:00:16 +0000 UTC View PostHi all!
I just realized I hit a pretty big goal on the page! I really, really, really appreciate the support for a very new and inexperienced developer! Thank you cannot really express well enough the joy I feel just knowing people out there are enjoying something I created! No words can capture that feeling adequately but I say thank you anyway! I even cherish the...

After we select the girl, I will ask for ideas and then propose maybe five or six situations for a nice picture both asking ...
2020-05-13 18:23:25 +0000 UTC View PostSo I think in Version 0.2, the male protagonist is bound to get a haircut! I thought I would throw this out there for fun and get feedback really quickly before Saturday! (when I project I will get to this scene) Here are some basic samples I just did while testing. A few things to keep in mind: this is just pure default hair with no editing, so I haven't tweaked hairlin...

2020-05-03 20:14:25 +0000 UTC View PostI wanted to put this down real quickly while I have my thoughts. I will try and update at least once a week and/or more often if important to do so. I'm not sure how a lot of people that make games like this update this kind of thing, but I will be very precise if I can with specifics. For example, if I am updated up to 40 renders and say 1,000 words, I will say exactly that s...

Just a quick update! I finished the script today, hooray! I have two more scenes to render (one short, one longer) and then that's it! I'm adding a little music to a few scenes, then I will try and run a hard edit/test for I hope about 5-6 days. I don't...
2020-04-11 22:16:29 +0000 UTC View PostIt's my first post! I'm still learning SO much both about the program(s) I am using to make the game, and even Patreon itself as I've never had my own site before! I think I am donating to right now eight different adult visual novel games on this site under my personal account, so I understand the value of trying to help other developers.
My goal to release a full version 0.1...
