Progress update as of November 30th via SubscribeStar:
INFO, Chart and Previews!
Greetings, everyone! Before we begin, there are
new render previews on Discord, take a look in the spoilers chat!
Let’s get to the progress report, which I hope will be the last one before the release of the next update. Talking a bit about the story, In the first part of Chapter 3 we introduced a threat to our characters. The tone of that update turned out exactly how I wanted, a good mix of tension, mysteries, and of course, the main thing, the spicy scenes. And at the beginning of the new update, we’ll have... ((
Attention, small spoilers ahead!))
The protagonist reflecting on what he saw in that vision, and what the best way to deal with it might be. But that will only be at the start, the idea is for the new update to have a much lighter and fun tone overall, so expect a shift at some point. Another thing, I’m not sure if I mentioned it before, but regarding the secondary characters (Dasha/Arinna), they’ll be set aside for a while. I need to further develop the six main girls, so the focus will remain on them for now. ((
End of spoilers!))
Regarding production: I’m still dealing with IRL issues outside of development, which have delayed some tasks that require more concentration. Those I’ve been putting aside while giving priority to others that flow more smoothly so production doesn’t halt. For example, something I mentioned in the last post, there was still one major scene left to finish in the writing phase. This particular scene has been tough; for the first time I really felt what it’s like to deal with persistent brain fog, and it just wasn’t working. So I shifted focus to other parts of development.
And that paid off, progress chart below:

That problematic scene is still missing, but I’m very happy with the rest, especially the
renders, which are beautiful and plentiful, with very little left to do. The
animations, which is something that I enjoy doing, and now also these new ones are the best I’ve ever made, btw have very little left to finish. What remains now, besides that, is post-production on the renders (denoiser/photoshop/lighting/etc.) and some coding, the usual variables for choices/points/etc, and the new in-game codex menu.
That said, December is a very busy month. The house always gets full as Christmas approaches. Production doesn’t stop, but it slows down since my free computer time becomes even more limited.
It’s certain that I won’t be able to finish everything before the end of the year. December is already here... I was aiming to complete everything much faster this time, but it’s not going to happen. I’m really sorry. If you’re tight on money and were hoping for a release this month, don’t worry it’s fine to pause your support. Buy something nice for someone in your family this Christmas. Production will continue either way. If you decide to stay, thank you so much, it helps a lot!
We’ll have some
special posts this December. I want to make a
4K Christmas theme set, it’s not wallpapers... You can expect more than just simple nudity; there will be
real action, very hot... This will be available on Discord mid December for
all members, regardless of tier. And also something I’ve never done before: a
preview of a brand-new animation from the
next update. It’s one of my favorite animations, I tried something new, it worked, and I’m super satisfied with the result. It has three different loops, I’ll post the first one for you to see.
Well, that’s it for now. Thank you so much to everyone who believes in this project. Thank you for the support and the love for the game! See you soon.
