Release Day Announcements!

Alright, it's been a wild ride, but after non-stop drawing of over 50 CGs for the last few weeks, reading and editing of over 200k words of dialogue and incredible hand cramps, I have completed all artwork, writing and coding for the next release. I am shipping out the last 2 batches for the job route testing tonight, and over the next week will be implementing the bug fixes I have gotten from ...

Dec 13 Almost there, living on a prayer

Howdy folks,

I've been chugging away with things and it's looking really good! Release is on the horizon, I can practically taste it. So, after reading through roughly 200k+ words last week, I have edited the ever-lovin' hell out of the game. I can now turn my attention back to the artwork, and crank the rest of those out so that the testers can test something that's as close to final pro...

Aw hell yeah. (Dec 2 Update)

Alright folks. 

This ain't a drill. The writing for the next release is COMPLETE. What does this mean? This means, if I really wanted to, today I could release the last 7 months of work to you all completely unedited, without artwork in the right places, some missing artwork entirely, no proofreading and a plethora of bugs that make the story nearly unreadable and wholly unenjoyable....

Update 11/21

Hey everyone!

So great news, the Investment PM route is complete! I gave myself the personal goal to finish writing/coding the Art PM route in a week. And I did it! (Barely! But I made it!)

So if you've been following along, you know that this means there is only one PM route left, and this is for the job route. We're really in the home stretch now, and I'm really excited. After wri...

Tricky consent question...

Two polls in one day? Who am I?

But seriously, I've been thinking about consent and how I handle it in-game. It's incredibly tricky, because while I'm not a fan of non-con stuff, I realize I have created some scenarios where the consent can be dubious. As such, I've already tried to compensate for that by having characters in-game give you subtle warnings about going off with one char...

Weird question... How do you feel about blood/virginity?

Specifically, blood and how its portrayed in reference to virginity. I'm in the middle of writing my second scene where the player can lose their v-card, but realized that in some cases it's normal to bleed during/afterwards. But that can make some people super squeamish. So I pose the question to you guys... How do you feel about blood and the mention of it in game when it comes to virginity?<...

Oct 10 Update

Hello!

I'm just popping in to say that I'm making great progress. I've just completed all night routes for the Science track! This means that there are only 3 remaining night routes to finish before all of the writing is done for the next release!! I'm so excited because I knew this would be a big lift, but it went by a lot faster than I anticipated.

I've been able to clock in at ab...

Update 9/20

Hey guys!

Its been an eventful few weeks for me, but I've been able to finish the artwork for a few more characters, as you see above. We have have Sugardale U's sociology professor, a local guy from Toffee Springs that goes by 'Triggs', the gamer girl character that we had a poll on not too long ago, and Officer Helms. I've been having fun making these characters come to life, I know the...

Update 8/29 Still pushing through!

Hello!   Just wanted to drop in and write an update since I'm really feeling inspired and got a ton of work done today!  I'm really proud of myself, because today was one of the first heads-down days I've had in a long while. In between all the other life dramas and obstacles it's been really hard for me to spend 8+ hours just focusing and working on the game without worry. Up un...

Update 8/13

Hey everyone! 

So, before I begin I have to let you all know that I've hit a flurry of major life events in my personal life, the two biggest of which are I am moving into a new home, and I also unfortunately lost my  job. As you can imagine, that's a lot of stuff to deal wit...

Update

Hey All! 

It's been a while, but to be honest there hasn't been too much to update you all on. I'm in the thick of writing for the most complex and longest day out of the 7 for the next release, and I'm trying to get through it before switching back to drawing or creating any art at this point. So as I said in my previous post, there's nothing too exciting to muse on since it's just ...

June's Wallpaper

Hey all! This month we have the lovely Blair as the main focus for our wallpaper! I hope you all enjoy it! Please let me know if you have a preference for the next character's wallpaper for July! I'd love to hear it ^^ 

New Character Aesthetic

Hey guys! So, I wanted to get your gauge on what type of aesthetic you think would be a cool one for a new female character. I've got three different ideas, but thought I'd float them by you all! I made these mini mood boards for you to get some visuals on them. Lemme know what you think!

Update!

Hey guys!

So I don't have much to update for the last week. I went on my first vacation since Christmas, so I really stepped away from working (and the game) during that time, but I'm feeling refreshed and have been back to writing/coding since I've been back. 

The next few weeks will be work on the longest and most complex chunk of work yet. The script for Friday will involve ...

Where the hell have I been?

Hey everyone, It's been a while!

I know I haven't posted an update in a couple of weeks but I can assure you that the game has kept me quite busy lately and I really don't want to leave any of you out of the loop again! So I have enlisted the help of someone to keep up with the outreach and community building side of things so I can focus on getting the next release out asap.

If you...

Meet Jace! + Update

Hey guys!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! I'm sure its pretty obvious from just looking at the poll I posted last week, but the consensus seems to be "I want less frequent releases with longer playtime, but I understand the times between releases will be longer." The final tally on the votes (taking into account the Senior and junior extra votes are: 32 to 9 vote...

How often would you prefer releases?

Like I said in my previous blog post, I have a lot of content planned, and don't want you guys to feel without playable content for too long. I don't have a release schedule, but I can tell you that with shorter times between releases, there will be less playable content for each release. With longer wait times between releases though, you'll be getting more playtime. I figure this would be a g...

Meet Shaun! + Update/Upcoming Poll!

Happy Monday folks!

So first: Meet Shaun! He's yet another student at Sugardale U! He's a senior (with a secret) But of course, what fun would it be if I spilled the beans on what that secret was?

Now, as far as my update goes, I'm still trucking! This last week was a little productive than I would have liked, but I was on the road for some time, and wasn't able to get into the ...

Meet Professor McGregor / Update

Hey everyone! I wanted to showoff the character design I have for your professor Astrophysics freshman seminar. He'll be one of ten(!) new characters I have for the next release. I'll be releasing the designs for new characters as I create them.

As for other updates: I've completed scripting/coding the entire first day (1 of 7 for this upcoming release) Not all days will have the same le...

Next Release Planning: COMPLETE

Firstly: You'll probably get sick of me saying this, but holy shit, I did not anticipate the number of people who played my game to have played my game in such a short about of time. The fact that I was able to get one person to download it, let alone 6k across various sites in 3 days is bot...

6AM Fires and how I learned to use the search bar.

You may have noticed something a little funny about the title of this game (or maybe you haven't and I'm just drawing attention to something you had no idea about). While working diligently on creating the demo for this game, I unfortunately never took the time to search if any one else had the name College Daze for their own lewd game. 

So you can imagine my surprise when I woke up ...

This release's 4K Wallpaper!

So excited to release the first wallpaper along with the demo's release! I plan on releasing a new 4K wallpaper every release or month, which ever comes more frequently. Enjoy your very own naked welcoming committee on your desktop! 

Thanks for the support and enjoy <3

Pretty Ink

Wow, so nervous.

I don't blog often (or ever, really, lets be honest) but its my 4th day straight where I've been tapping away furiously like a madwoman while trying to think of every possible way to ensure that:

A. This launch goes well

B. People actually know this launch will happen and

C. I don't lose my mind. 

In the course of 3 days, I went from thinking I was going to launch, ...
