Hey guys,

This post is just for my $10+ Patrons.  This is a sneak preview of what I've been working on with the house and model revamps as well as new game functionality.  There's not a whole lot to do in this in terms of story-line, but you will be able to check out the new house, and interact with a lot of it, and with some of the new models.

Your feedback is much appreciated.  Let me know what you think of the new mechanics, and let me know how the game runs and how many frames per second you are experiencing with your system (FPS are displayed at the top left).

Story content is coming very soon, I just can't do much yet with only the few characters that I have ready, which is why I've been focusing on the game play mechanics.

Here are some things to note:

You can interact with a lot of objects in the game, including picking them up and tossing them around.

There's a sneak preview of the new Ashley model hiding somewhere in the house.  She is loosely based off of Emily Ratajkowski.

The characters now have emotions, and will respond according to how much they like you and what their current mood is when you do things like enter the same room as them, come into their vicinity, or talk to them.

Madison will roam around the house periodically.  You may have to track her down if you're looking for her.

Madison will come and talk to you periodically and what she says will change depending on how much she likes you and her mood.

You can knock Madison over (Warning, this greatly affects her mood!)

If you piss off one of the characters, don't worry.  In time, they will get over it.

Hmm, this is just the same as the old one.

Hey man, are you sure this is the new build and not the old 64B23? Cause I seem to get the same game as that one.

Sorry about that guys. I accidentally posted the link to the latest public version. The link has been updated.

It looks great, however the fireplace is insanely loud espically upstairs where I don't think you should even be able to hear it. Besides that it all looks really good. I'm looking forward to seing more of the characters getting put into this new house. Please be careful about making them all too skinny tho, I liked that there was some natural looking girls in the first version.

+1 for pokemonboy's comment and also madison seems to like falling over when she walks into the master bedroom and then gets angry with the player. I dont know whether that can be edited easily but just to give you a heads up.

I've actually already tamed down the fireplace along with the footsteps of the characters so that they rolloff more realistically. The designer is getting better and better with each model he does. Ashley is shaping up to be his best work yet, so I may have him go back and revamp the first few after he's done with the whole lot. The bodies of all of the girls right now (albeit, you're right, they're all skinny) are very different from one another, and we will also see some variation in their builds coming.

Yes, Madison's got a bunch of new functionality, so I'm still chasing down some issues here and there. I've got some really cool new stuff coming in the next update. I actually think I know why she's falling there. For the characters to navigate throughout the house, the rooms have to be mapped, and I don't think I mapped the master bedroom yet, so she's probably just falling because she's desperately trying to figure out where to go next and toppling herself over with her own internal physics. Once I add the master bedroom and set up the doorway, it should fix that right up. She usually doesn't go in there, but I now have her following the player sometimes, so I have to set up zones for everywhere the player can go.

fps have dropped a lot on my config hardware. It's now around 10 on Fantastic 1920x1200. I have to lowered to "Good" to get some decent fps (around 30) . Sounds very promising though. thanks !
