Change Log

Edit to Luna’s dialogue

Cunnilingus Scene Added when correct song guessed in garage

Added Leni shower mini game

Shower minigames give back affection not lust

Removed Fantasy Lvl 1 barrier to Rita couch mini game. Now it only requires 10 affection to progress to the second stage. Finishing the scene now provides lust.

Translation puzzles stay unlocked and the timer is removed. Now they stay unlocked and you can come back to them. Minor changes to dialogue as such.

Unlocking fantasy spell dialogue changed. Spell is now meant to bend reality in lewd ways.

Glory Hole scene with Lola in the magic mirror unlocked when Fantasy Level 1 unlocked.

Contact app on the phone now shows the current target, affection, and hint. More to be added later once other apps are added.

Several Bug fixes including soft locking when clicking the map button then Lincoln to close the phone.

That should be all for the new demo however there are some new ideas I want to talk about. I’m going to try and put them in a list so if people want to comment on them you can just reference a number. Please feel free to skip past sections if you don’t find them interesting.

Patreon Related Stuff

Will be adding early release to Patreon rewards. One week at first then I’ll push it back to be a full month back. I realized its meant to be both a reward and way to catch bugs.

I would like to make a splash screen for patrons in the game however I want to inform everyone well before I do in case people want to opt out.

I will be adding some icons to patreon tiers so the page looks better. I don’t know if that will ping for you if I do.

Polls

I think the Bi-weekly Pin-up polls are fine as they are. The main thing is I don’t know how many of the other polls I should do. And which category a certain poll should be in.

This week’s Pin-up poll is for a popular trio of characters I’ve drawn before: Becky, Carol, and Dana.

Inc House Story

I’m still working on the story however a big thing has come to my attention with Leni’s current story. As it sits now it feels like Lily’s story will supersede Leni’s story too much for my liking. Instead, I want to push back Lily’s intro into another stage of the story and replace it with a new idea where you’d use your Incubus powers to help Leni catch a circle of shoplifting housewives. It would be a big change and if you’re a fan of Lily maybe you’d not appreciate it. Let me know what you think if you have strong opinions.

Regardless of the previous idea, it seems like my Lily design wasn’t very popular so I may go back to the drawing board for it. The beanie might fit Lana more than Lily but that’s still far in the future.

I’m going to check with other developers about changing titles of characters from the ambiguous Landlord to Step-mom as it would make the stories a lot easier to write conceptually. However I don’t want to be deplatformed until I get a response.

Gameplay Specific

I find myself at a crossroads of needing to fix important gameplay aspects like an inventory app and creating a large amount of H-content. I’m doing this alone so it’s pretty hard to balance in a way that I feel will keep the audience engaged. I don’t know if people will accept an update every month with only 1 new H-scene and lots of bug fixes. Even with the two month window I gave myself this time I felt what I did wasn’t enough until I finished Lola’s scene at the last moment. Depending on responses I may try to change the schedule posting in the future.

I would like to add some quicker H-scenes in the style of Summer Memories. In which you’d ask for a kiss then have the option to go a stage farther and get a bj in the middle of the hall. Again it’s just a lot of H-content however this one doesn’t progress the story. I worry this wouldn’t feel like content to most people but it would improve the game immensely.

That’s all for now. I’m always slowly chipping away at the game. Going to try and sketch out Rita’s shower scene today. Have a good one.
