ORIGINAL POST:

^ I am working hard to release as soon as I can. Please remain patient and calm with your cheeks spread wide for easy access, as demonstrated by our lovely assistants above ;)

Apologies that it took me this long to put this thing up. Hopefully it should be a little easier to see where I am now. 16 renders left as of time of writing. Finishing the rendering and editing process, as usual, is the vast majority of the work here, it should all come together in a couple of days more after that. v0.09 ended up requiring more images than I had originally planned. In fact, there's probably an additional 2-3 weeks of rendering needed for me to be completely satisfied with it, since I've ended up wanting to make it big, but that exceeds my scope for v0.09's development schedule, and as such additional renders will be added to both remaining casino scenes during v0.10, where you will need to replay them anyway due to saves being broken. It's not the ideal scenario, but because of the way things are lining up for 2021, I do need to take as much of a "break" as I can during December, so I can't really afford to deliver my full vision for this one right out of the gate. But I am making sure that all the important bits (in my opinion) are included at the bare minimum.

That being said v0.09 is a rather short update. It probably won't take very long at all to compete, especially if you don't care about the story which is the main focus here. I'm still happy with how it's shaping up though, and would recommend playing it if you intend on keeping up to date with the game's plot and overall direction moving forward beyond v0.10. Just don't anticipate much in the way of new playable content. Story -> Boss Fight/Sex Scene -> Story. That's what you can expect. Oh and that bonus 2D combat sex scene by Flowerxl for Tiffany's original body during Days 1 & 2 for players to try out and give feedback on.

Now I mention "break" in inverted commas above because I will still be working, just on my own time on things that are all to do with the game, but less important aspects overall. Such as side/bonus content, voice acting, writing story/backstory/lore, and all of that fun stuff. Though I will take at least 1 week off completely as well since it has been a long time since I did that. It just didn't feel right to charge people during a month where very little work was being done on the next version of the game (v0.10) overall. Which will be the focus for the first few months of 2021. But I will discuss all of that in a podcast after v0.09's release, which I hope will be complete towards the end of this first December week, at the very least before Cyberpunk 2077, you know, obviously my main competition :P

^ Alternatively, he also goes by "The Spanker" ;)

Thanks for your continued patience and support!
