Cheeky Bi-Weekly #25 - Catch Up Chapters | Story Path Chapters | Overall Story Edits | Bonus Sketches (Patreon)

Okay now that we're all here, let's get down to business!
As you may have seen in our previous post, it's been quite a time over here! But as always, we have made sure to get some very nice and cheeky news ready for all your nutting pleasure!
TSC Catch Up Drafts
We've completed drafts for each of the Catch Up chapters with the girls you can date (apart from Fille, who will not have a traditional Catch Up chapter). These chapters aren't fully ready to add into the game just yet, but we're planning to spend the next week or so finishing up the rough edges and integrating the scenes into the story.
When we started making this game, we just wanted to make a fun little story where you fuck a bunch of elves and get them pregnant. But as development has gone on, we've become more and more invested in these characters and their lives, and we hope you all can relate to that on some level. All this to say, we've taken these Catch Up chapters as an opportunity to really dive into the characters, explore what makes them who they are and what they may be struggling with under the surface. As a result, the Catch Ups have turned out much more emotionally intense than a lot of the earlier parts of the game.
Honestly, we couldn't be happier with how it's all shaping up, and we are so excited to share it with all of you, and to hear your thoughts on just about anything and everything in the game!
Story Edits
Another product of spending so much time thinking about the story, is that there are some earlier scenes and elements which might not fit as well with how we're envisioning the story now. In that light, we'd like to take some time to make more edits on what's already there.
To be more specific, we want to make changes to the intro, as well as Helenna and the Free Tribe Shamans (Ashraven, Silverclaw, etc) to make these storylines a little bit more unique and dramatic. We don't want to give away all the details just yet, but we were discussing Helenna having a more upfront role in the Academy. Not necessarily prominent, but not quite as secretive either. This would make it so that the Shamans are the secret villains, with Helenna representing more of an openly antagonistic force.
We would also like to make changes to the dates and Meliara herself, to give more of a clear arc to their characters, room to grow and all that. Nobody is going to have their personality completely changed or anything, so no need to worry about that! It's more an effort to emphasize what makes each character distinct, as well as their role within the story and within the world of the game.
Catch Up Chapters
Since it's going to take some work to get the new chapters implemented in the game, we decided it would be good to write a brief synopsis of each chapter. We want to give you a tantalizing taste of what's to come, without giving the whole game away! These will be opportunities later in the game, after the pregnancy test, to visit and check up on the pregnant girls after their pregnancies have had some time to grow!
Cassandra's Day Out
Meliara had an idea! She invited Cassi out to lunch to talk about her pregnancy, but instead of going herself, she'll send you as a surprise. It's a great opportunity to get Cassandra out of the library and try some new things. But when a water spill all but ruins Cassandra's clothes, her only option is to either go home in wet clothes, or use a magical item to create an illusion that she's fully dressed! Go out shopping, meet her friends, and tease her a bit while she's naked in the market and you're the only one who knows! But when you explore something new, how do you tell when you've pushed yourself too far?
Chloe's New Challenge
Ever since finding out that her follower count was stagnating, the now-pregnant Chloe Astrava has been struggling to correct course. She's resorted to just handing out money and filming it, just hoping to make people like her! Chloe and Lily are both exhausted from all the work, and even their relationship is straining under the stress. As you find them, Chloe learns that Bouncy Bella posted a new 'On the Leash Challenge,' and it's going viral while Chloe's 'Give Away Money Challenge' is a total flop. Maybe if she just puts on the collar and works through the embarrassment for this quick photoset, it'll turn her troubles around?
Duel of Daberos
The Ladies Daberos are fighting in a dueling tournament! It may be a bit of a surprising choice while pregnant, but they insist. Something about a Daberos family traidition... It seems to be safe enough, but Filvarel has something to say to Falwil. Something very important, a confession that she just can't seem to get out... For Falwil's part, she's struggling to make headway in the tournament, getting more and more frustrated as she seems to fall short. These noble swordswomen have overcome many a foe, but can they defeat the very limitations they've created for themselves?
Edraelle Fitting In
Meliara needs herbs again for her alchemy, and she figures you may as well see how Edraelle is doing while you're there. The druid has been holding back her own herbal habits for the sake of the pregnancy, and she's started to wonder if maybe she was missing out, spending her days in Ardia while the mortal world passes her by. It can be tough to get by in a city when you have such a HUGE... pair of antlers! At times, looking at the city only reminds Edraelle of what has been forgotten, or lost... How could a wild druid from a primal era manage to find belonging in the bustle of a modern trade city?
Story Path Chapters
In addition to the Catch Up chapters, we'll be adding some extra direction near the end of the game, to help develop which story path you're headed down. There's going to be three; one with Helenna if you choose to proceed with her ritual, one with the Shamans if you side with their mission, and of course one with Meliara which will lead to most of the game's endings!
Helenna's Dark Ritual
The time has come for Helenna to call upon you. You may choose to help her complete the ritual and summon an archdemon, or reveal her meddling to Meliara and protect the experiment! If you choose to side with Helenna, this can also be your opportunity to learn about the life of this tenebrous temptress. Find out what her life has been like, how she came to be embroiled in the dark arts, and exactly what she has in mind for you and Libon both! Perhaps you can even try to change her ways, and turn her toward the light... but can you really convince her to give up her power and immortality?
Return of the Shamans
While the elves are busy ensuring that Helenna's tampering has been entirely undone, you go on a walk and encounter a familiar crow with a familiar cat... Ashraven and Silverclaw lead you to a secluded area and return to their human forms so they can speak with you. The Free Tribe Shamans have one more blessing for you, two pairs of massive blessings to grant you vigor and courage! And of course they have one final mission as well, an ominous poultice that you are instructed to slip into the councilwoman's drink... Can you bring yourself to go through with this? Will they even let you back out at this point?
Perfect Date for Meliara
In the aftermath of Helenna's secret being outed, Meliara has been spending more time with the patients in her experiment. With their help, she's planned a perfect date for you! Shopping for clothes, a festival in the market, a fancy dinner, and a walk in the gardens to pick flowers! Even though she cares for you so much... Meliara just isn't enjoying her own date. She tried to do normal things with you, but now she can't help but worry that her own predilections have ruined it all anyway. Maybe she has something more magical, and personal to her, that you could enjoy together?
Bonus Helenna Sketches
Papi wanted to draw something fun with one of our TSC girls here, because he's just generous like that! Helenna having some typical trouble for sexy devil girls; sometimes you just can't stop people from cumming all over your naked body when you spread your legs for them! Truly, an eternal struggle.Thanks for bouncing with us yet again, take care of yourself and say hi to your neighbors when you get a chance! We could all use more friends these days.
