Hello Patrons!

First of all, thanks a million for the kind comments and messages I got in my last post as well as some other creators who reached out, I really wasn't expecting that, nobody had to do it and I am thankful for those who reached out and built my confidence back up. I really, really appreciate it.

This post is going to be a progress update as well as a mild change of plans for release (although there will still be content this month.) I am going to get in the habit of doing a progress update roughly every 1-2 weeks whether the game development went good or bad, I would rather make mistakes say how horrible things went than letting months go by, over analyzing things forever.

This might be a little long winded so If you don't want to read a wall of text and just want to see what you are going to get and when then just scroll down a bit and skip to 1: and 2: below.

Development is going well(ish), after I aired a lot of stuff out and spoken to some people I seem to have a newfound belief in myself and it is a lot easier to bounce back when I hit a wall or I get frustrated with something I am working on not working out. IE the 3d particle effects which literally took me over a month of trying to get to work which honestly is only working with a minority of the characters but I do have a new card on the way which should help with that.

I am a bit behind yet again as I have been struggling with several coding problems, remaking the nav to be more unique (which I have gone back and forth on a million times and I am just going to do what feels right with everything at this point which is make something more unique and less samey.) as well as trying to reconcile how old some of my content is with how spread out and short winded and sporadic some of the things I made turned out.

I have one portion of the scenes I have been working on that are ancient and are more of the typical 20-30 images followed by a few animations (or none) compared to the more recent stuff you saw in trailers where most of the game consists of idle animations with higher resolution renders and a camera along with a payoff in the lewd scenes. Also, besides some of these not being finished there are several instances where as far as erotica goes, like, when I first started I literally did not understand even the slightest thing about pacing, what to show and when and many of these skills were learned over the course of the past year and a half where essentially I have played more games, watched wayyyy more hentai now and I feel I have a much more firm grasp about how much to show off the main characters Evelyn, Liora and others. (just as an example of where I was at, my previous game had basically zero buildup, maybe a bit but not very thought out or teasing.)

Some of these scenes you saw IE the bathroom scene with Liora that was partly shown in the trailer, this in my eyes is way, way ahead of what I want to bring out in the first release, same deal with the extra content of Evelyn, (The Gold Chain outfit of Evelyn) and her theater scene as well. That's not to say you won't be getting any lewd content, in 0.1 you will go all the way with at least one character and do some sexy time with several others.

Anyhow, between remaking the intro and fixing old scenes there's simply no way around this taking longer than going into next month and this game seeming a bit flipped on it's head so I am just going to do two things.

1: (a relatively short) Intro released this month, with some puzzles and some lewd scenes. <- If I can't get this out before the end of the month or at least in the testers hands I will pause pledges for now.

I talked it over with some of the bigger pledgers that I have had good experiences with generally of the people I talked to they seem to be okay with this.

2: The rest of the content with sandbox completed inside of next month. <- Again, even if I get the first goal done, if I cannot get this done in the following month I will just pause the pledges in April as well.

I just want to stress that this isn't because of pressure from you or anyone outside of my patreon, it's 90% me having anxiety over the way I am delivering content (the format in game.) to people and the amount of time that's gone by and looking forward to either getting it over with if you do not like it or getting excited for it if you do. The intro is mostly recent stuff made (and some of the cave stuff remade) so it is going to give you a good indication if you are going to like the general game delivery or not. (the sandbox or general gameplay will remain to be seen though.)

The trailer is going to have to wait until either some time before the sandbox version next month or skipped entirely as trying to get creative and show the game off in an exciting way is eating into time and I just want to focus on the game for now.

I find the more I try to do the right thing, or the best thing or not look bad I just fuck everything up beyond belief and I just can't live like that anymore. I just want to get content out on a monthly/bi-monthly basis and keep doing what I love while managing people's expectations the best I can (admittedly, this is hard, I have been making content online for over 3 years now and have never hit a deadline EVER, but I digress)

Anyhow, that's it for now, I am hoping this is the last time I bring any disappointing news. I am going to be posting either weekly or biweekly (give or take a day or two!) from now on whether things went wrong or IRL work got too hard and I shit the bed on development or whatever else. So expect to hear from me again probably between one and a half weeks.

So thanks again for your support and thank you for your patience regardless.

PS: And just one more thanks to the people that reached out to me on here and discord I literally could not have gotten any further without you.

Can someone post the last special render of naomi?

 

[Maou25]

instead of writing a roman of excuses he could`ve assemble a 1 mn long trailer

 

[Kakato]

LOL. Another delay - no trailer end of the month, too If I understood well ? Why I'm not surprised? If the very first version took almost 2 years, don't be surprised if there's only one update per year after that.

In all sincerity, there's no reason to criticize or shitpost if the patreons themselves encouraged him and boosted his confidence back. Who am I, poor F95 member, to say something, if the guys who pay are ok with it ? That being said, Sayonara.

 

[Kellermann]

Anyhow, that's it for now, I am hoping this is the last time I bring any disappointing news.

It won't be.

I am genuinely astounded by this dev... He said he was gonna pause the patroen if he doesn't release it this month and he makes a post moving the goal post to the next month LOOOOOOOOOOOL.

That's it, this is my last post in this thread, i am done, you guys do whatever you want peace out.

 

[MILFS HUNTER]

If you guys want the realease come faster, just stop spending on his Patreon !

 

[uhhhok]

Idk, these last patreon posts seem genuine and maybe he is really having troubles in development. Because the quality he is going for is insane, and if it doesn't have good story or gameplay mechanics, the game would be ruined. We can wait, we have waited for many months, he had at least made a patreon post this time instead of disappearing for months. you guys don't need to reply to this post of mine, you guys posted enough "shit" about that patreon post already. I do believe in him and I hope he releases that demo this month.
Not everyone hates you buddy, Ignore the hate and try to do your work. I can imagine how hard it is for you to read all these hate comments towards you. Be brave and ignore them mate.

 

[Ennoch]

don't need to reply to this post of mine

So you are saying that you aren't interested in hearing those out whom you addresed in your speech. Thats like saying 'hear me out but i don't want to hear you out in return'. Its rude, against common courtesy, regardless of the differences in opinon about the matter at hand.

 

[spar]

You are very bad people, all the blame that the developer has charged money on patreon for more than a year, delayed the content, disappeared and that spectacular trailer that will leave us astonished being the only trailer "Never ever made", all that is It's your fault, not the developer's, he's the best developer ever.

If this game is released one day it will be the best game of all, full of lots of content such as: a milf, a teen, delay, excuse, delay, excuse, another milf, delay, excuse, delay, excuse, disappeared, a spectacular ass licking from the patreons and a year of excuse and delays.

PS: The great Evakiss made the trailer for her game in a week and this one after a year , if not even the trailer has been done, I imagine how the game will be, the first update will last 5 minutes and reading everything slowly.

 

[peterppp]

His latest post is good news. If you don't understand that I wonder why you are even in this thread. Only to write crap apparently and not even wanting the game to come out.
He is finally pausing pledges if he is not delivering, both this month and the next. This decreases the chance of this being a scam to low and increases the chances of him releasing something very soon.

Because of his high aim it still feels like this game development is going to drag out for years but as long as he is being transparent, that's up to him and whoever wants to support him.

 

[Kellermann]

He is finally pausing pledges if he is not delivering, both this month and the next.

Just to clarify, he hasn't done it yet. It's another promise to do it in the future. He said if he can't get it out by the end of the month or get it in his testers hands he will pause this month. Which seems odd to me because the month will already be over at that point and payments already accepted, correct? But I don't know much about how patreon works, so maybe it's legit and retroactive. Even though he's broken every promise he has made for the past two years regarding this game, I'm waiting to see what happens at month end. More out of curiosity than hopefulness at this point. I'm curious to see how many times someone can break promises and still maintain support. It's fascinating to watch.

Hello Patrons!

A quick TL;DR: a small demo will be in testers hands in the morning of March 31st (pst) so you guys can play it either the same day or the day after.

This includes a lewd scene with a character, a tease/ramp up scene with another as well as some light story cut short before the mc and friends are inside the cave where the MC discovers his powers.

I wanted to add something at least twice as big and a bit more grandiose, setting up the protagonist as well as most of the main story but making this out of order and trying to get the "particle effects" to work for the umpteenth time and honestly working hard to break bad habits I have accrued over the past year and a half slowed me down a bit.

Regardless, I am in a good place with everything now and am still very excited to show you this stuff because the way you react on here and on the update discussion on discord will shape how I piece together the rest of my scenes I am sticking in for 0.1 and what type of things you would like to see added to the erotic department for instance pacing and what types of shots and animations you like to see added or what feels missing, IE penis reveals, character reactions, ramping up etc.

Once this is out, I will be posting weekly up until the release of the main 0.1 for the game. Assuming next month goes the same way as this one (probably a bit better but there are so many harder tasks to finish and the navigation to remake and what to pick and choose goes in.) The actual release will be near the very end of the month as well.

So yeah, I will see you again in a few days as well as a week after that so stay tuned.

Thanks a million for the support and have a great day.
