Dev Update! (Patreon)

Hey guys!

It's been a hot minute since my last dev update. I've been incredibly busy wrapping up the version, which led to delaying this post because things weren't entirely clear. But now, I can give you the full picture.

As I mentioned in the last post, I was considering releasing an alpha version (for reasons outlined in that post), and the comments have been mostly in favor, which I'm thrilled about. I can now officially announce that I've decided to go with the alpha version.

In the past week, I've been working at demon speed, trying to get it out before February ends. As of right now, I have 3 days left, and I'm not sure I can finish everything. (Just testing all routes usually takes me a few days.) So, it might spill a few days into March (fingers crossed that it won't).

Initially, I planned to write about what you can expect from the alpha, but then I decided it would be easier to just list what's missing and will be completed in the final version.

What's not being included in the alpha:

Jenny's special scene (I posted a teaser)

Bros night out (MC + Joe) going to a bar together and having a blast

One scene with Vanessa (might be two)

One scene for corrupted Ann

One scene with Alex + Ann + MC

Animations for the last scene of the game (with Ann)

If that sounds like a lot, you'd be surprised at how much is in the alpha that I've already finished. As I said before, it's a big update.

What I need to finish to wrap up the alpha:

A scene with Ann + MC (And friends 😜) - it's mostly written and rendered.

NTR scene with Ann and Chris (posted a preview) - it's written, rendered, and mostly animated; I just need to code it in.

Ann hate + Joe rival (This one has me scratching my head), I've written some special dialogues for that and also made some unique renders. But since I haven't tested it, I'm not sure how it will play out. For example, the way Joe rival + Ann love ended up (blindfold), I feel like it needs a special follow-up scene. And since those paths aren't popular, I might disable them for the alpha and will include them in the final version.

Gallery + Scene Gallery

Testing

Also, Scooter has been really helpful in finding music that fits the atmosphere of the game. I've yet to test most of them, and I don't want the same song to be on repeat, so I might not include it in the alpha as well.

I'm usually wary of setting deadlines because I'm not doing this full-time and don't have a fixed schedule for working on the game. With that being said, I'll try to wrap it up before March, but to be a bit more realistic, it might take a week more or less.

Thanks for your patience. I'm optimistic and hope you are too!

Cheers🍻,
