Hello everyone!

This week we thought we'd keep the status update a bit more on the technical side. Some numbers and some pictures.

There are roughly 400 renders left to create for 0.7. There will also be some branching at the end that will add more on top, plus some animations. This is to say, estimations could be made at this point. We won't make any estimations ourselves because there are so many variables that could affect the development time still, but for those who fancy some guessing, that's roughly what's left to create.

We have also been testing the Android version of 0.7 this week. It's a bit buggy for now, but we'll sort that out for the mobile gamers. With 0.6, we released our own Android version and the bug reports from mobile players dropped significantly. We'd like to think that's because of our own version being available, but the most likely cause is probably something far more mundane. Like the position of the moon.

Robison has also been working on the code for Freeplay and extra features for 0.7, including some testing of the dress-up simulator. And here's a couple random examples from it, featuring Bree:

There's quite a lot of variety available, and it's mostly code. Neat little feature for the future Freeplays.

Other news

July's Influencer poll is running for the special render, and currently it's a close race between Eve and Helen at the top. It could easily go either way still, but we're lowkey hoping for Helen to snatch the win. For reasons.

Cheers and stay cool,

Robison & Npx

Ey how dare you to give Bree gray hair 😭

Abner Souza

Do you already have an idea of when the update will be released?

Kuke

My guess for release is somewhere between 1 to 1000 days from today.

Craig P aka Renallis

Looking forward to it! My guess for when it's done. When it's ready! 😜😅❤️💙

NextStrength

Dare I say peak status update or maybe she makes me biased? I can imagine estimating is a risky thing, so I really appreciate those details :) I fully agree it's down to the Waning Gibbous that causes unofficial release bugs XD Thanks for the update and have a chill weekend! 💚

P L

Still kickin', eh?

Jonathan Hang

Love the header! That'll be a sight to wake up to 🥰. Two beautiful ladies looking down at me 😍. 400 renders left 😛! Take your time 😅. I won't be making any estimate since I can't play atm (I'll explain why in a sec). Good work, Robison 👍🏻! Is that Bree with straight, long, brown hair? Looks brown to me😅. It's a Bree week 💚🥰!!! You have a great weekend too now, my little cute monkey 🤭. And the same for the rest of my SH ladies (love you all 😘❤)!!! Keep my milk coming 🥛🤤! Thanks for the Update, Robison & Npx!!! Love and appreciate you 😘, your ladies 🥰, and your game 😍! Keep on keeping on, 😉!!! ALWAYS EXCITED AND EAGERLY WAITING FOR YOUR WORK 🙌🏻🔥!!! Whether you're still dealing with the Summer 😎🌞🏖🔥 (it's random for me now 🤣) or in the Cold Winter 🥶❄⛄🧊 (my Southern Hemisphere people). Always stay hydrated, everyone. And still no milk for everyone. It's mine 🥛🤤! 👹 And I hope that everyone's week is going beautifully! It's been an unfortunate week for me. Here's how it went. Long; you don't have to read if you don't want to 😅. My old phone (a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5) broke on Sunday because of the touch screen (figures, ZFlips 😮‍💨). Repairing it would have cost $550, so I bought a new phone on Wed. But then my laptop (an Alienware R13 R3), which I play my AVNs on, broke on Tues. I was using the laptop at work and mispositioned a cup of water, and it spilled all over my laptop (I had the slowest process/reaction in the world to it 😅). So, now, I can't even play my AVNs anymore. I was in the middle of playing my Law School playthrough 😭. I already spent all my monthly earnings on the phone (I plan my spending in advance; you kind of have to when you're supporting many Devs like I am 😁). And now the laptop is going to have to wait. I'm guessing a month or two at best before I can play AVNs again. Of course, I was sad when it happened (that laptop was my world, my everything 😭), but nothing I could do about it now. So, let's focus that energy elsewhere, focus on what I still have, and look forward to what's coming 😁. It's going to be hard quitting cold turkey for a while. I'm missing my AVNs HARD. BUT, it will only make me more excited and hurry to get a new gaming laptop so I can get back into it when my Devs release their respective games (and continue on my never-ending backlog 😅). My Devs posts definitely help make my life happier and make my days brighter and better 😁. They'll keep me going strong in the meantime 💪🏻. Maybe… it was time to upgrade the laptop anyway (trying to find some positive in all this 🤣). "Nice try, Life. But, you can't ruin my positive energy, vibes, and outlook 😁!" Thanks for taking the time to listen and read (if you did 😁). Stay safe, stay blessed, and in PERFECT health, beautiful people! Have an amazing and beautiful week! I'll catch you all—ON THE NEXT ONE ✌🏻😁!!! Can only go up ⬆️ from here 😁.

My rough estimate for when the update will be done: 5 weeks. Whenever rendering was the only thing on the agenda, the render count per week was 120+, so that would be 3 and a half weeks. Assuming the animations take another week and a few days for polishing we reach the 5 week mark. That puts us on an estimated release date of August 22.

TakeoverRug

I’m rooting for Helen as well lmao. Thanks Robison and Npx :)

Wonder Wolf

Bro maybe in the meantime play the games on your new phone? Npx and Robison created their own android version. And sorry for your lose man, had a similar experience with my old computer from one day to the other he didn't worked anymore. Was still a baby. Anyway wish you still with the bad news a nice weekend.

NextStrength

Always love reading the Jonathan weekly status updates. Hope you have a speedy AVN recovery. Keep on keeping it real JH! 💚

Eroc

HELEN

Eroc

Bad guess on the 1000

Kuke

I said between. So 999 days at the most.

Kuke

Good call, similar to my guess.

Jonathan Hang

@Wonder Wolf Thank you, Wonder Wolf. Sorry for your loss as well. I have never played AVNs on my Android 😅. But I can wait. It'll just make me more excited and HYPED while waiting. And when I finally get that laptop. Blissful time 😁👍🏻!

Jonathan Hang

@Next Strength Thank you, NS. I'll still be here; I just won't get to play at the same time as you guys 😅. Hope, only a month or two at max 😁. I'm already going through AVN withdrawals 🤣. Yesterday, I wanted to play so bad. My XBSX can't satisfy me 😅.

Summer Sun

I can't ever root against Eve but it would be nice to see Helen get some special renders sometime. My #1 pick for girl I want to see a special render from who hasn't had any yet would be Nina and Hannah as a very close #2.

Bepix

Bree with grey hair looks like my grandma 💀

Ed F

Thanks for the update.

Keenir

Bree makes everything look good...even brown hair

Keenir

that just proves she'll always be hot and adorable. (though i confess i thought it was grey on my first read-through, but when i read the post a second time, it looked brown)

Keenir

hopefully not before its ready. :)

Keenir

Good morning, gentlemen, I see I'm late again. And with 26 comments already, there must be some important news... I'm excited 🤩 But first, I'd like to enjoy the banner... Sophie and Bree... what a sight... amazing 💙💚🥰💚💙 (even though I miss Swanly or how we him call: Swanny McSwanface 🦢) Only 400 renders and a few animations left? That comes as a complete surprise. I'll try to sum it up in a few words: woo-hoooooooo 🥳 Best news ever. But take all the time you need. Okay, I'll skip the part about Android, I don't play my AVNs on a smartphone. These ladies need to be enjoyed on a big monitor 🖥 Bree looks delicious in every outfit. I'm curious to see what we'll get to see in the game 💚 Npx wants Helen to win... but I'm still rooting for Eve 💜 Thanks for the DevLog, Rob and Npx. I wish you and everyone else a wonderful weekend and stay healthy.

Lilatentakel

...is annoying...we need Swanley and Toaster to solve the problem 🦢+🍞=☠️

Lilatentakel

Hey bro, have you been able to figure out if you can recover your data from the hard drive? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you, Jonathan 🤞

Lilatentakel

@Whis The Wise: Apparently not 😅

Vincent Vega

Soooo very exciting! There's the key word I've been looking out for.... "testing" 😁 Also, as a mobile player, I love that there's will be your own Android version 😁 You know, strangekt enough, I also kinda want Helen to win. Out of sheer curiosity than anything else mind but still. I kinda wanna see what you guys can come up with. Thanks for the update guys, have an awesome weekend 🙂👍🏾

Vincent Vega

Sad news mate. AVNs work just as well on Android just so you know. It's what I play all mine on 😁 Still, that doesn't help with your saves and that I guess 😭 Sorry mate, hope you get a new laptop sorted soon 🤞🏾

Jonathan Hang

@Lilatentakel I just noticed I don't have any device to test the HD on 😅. Our family is big on phones/consoles/tablets, but not laptops or computers. Only I used a laptop and my younger sis has a PC setup, but she lives 40+ min away. I guess it's a good thing I put all my AVNs on an external HD and play from it.

Jonathan Hang

@Vincent Vega I could never do that (play AVNs on my phone 😅). The screen is too small for me 🤣. But not all is lost. I put all my AVNs on an external HD and play from it. I just need a laptop or PC to access it. But I did lose all my renders I collected throughout the years that were stored on my laptop. Hopefully the HD still works so I can recover them. The only thing I'm worried about is my Devs releasing their games during this "no-laptop period." "I WANT TO PLAY TOO 😅!"

PharahFan

Eve and Helen are the last two girls left standing and fighting it out for number 1? I want Mia to win again but since Mia isn't in this one and Sophie is not in the running I will cheer for a tie. Then both Eve and Helen fans can be happy. 😁 Have a good weekend everyone!

PharahFan

I wish you hadn't lost your computer and your phone. I hope you can get a new PC asap! 💙

Jonathan Hang

@PharahFan Thank you, PharahFan! Hopefully, before the new SH release comes out 😁🤞🏻. This waiting "No laptop" period is GOING TO BE HARD 😅.

Jarilo 亞利洛

Even though there’s no official release date for 0.7 yet, just knowing it’s coming soon already gets me hyped. I’m so excited! I really enjoying the visual art of this game, and I think a big part of that comes from the outfit designs of the main girls. The devs are seriously good at giving each girl the perfect look. That’s why, when it comes to the mini-game—the dress-up simulator—I kind of hope it won’t spoil future outfits before we actually see the girls wearing them in the main story. I just want to see them in the right clothes at the right moment. It will definitely push the experience to another level. Last but not least, Oh, my goddess, Eve, please do not lose this fight. We're all counting on you now.

ANDA

Yes but, the 0.6 is 1800 renders in total, and if you divide it to 40 development status update it's 45 renders per week (including animation and other stuff). So to me 10 weeks is more realistic. But obviously I hope for 5 🙂

Naughty Fox Games

Don't worry Native, it wasn't grey! It was Ash Blonde, or something like that. :D

Naughty Fox Games

RIP your phone & laptop Jonathan. I've had almost the same happen to a laptop, it was rough! Murdered by a glass of soda. Hopefully you'll have plenty of updates to go through when you're able to play again. :)

NextStrength

I see Eve's special render had some inspiration 🤔

Eroc

"Alexa play Marvins Room by Drake"

Jonathan Hang

@Naughty Fox Games Ah, taken out by a glass of soda pop. Sorry for your loss as well. Thank you, NFG, and everyone, for the kind words and wishes. I LOVE THIS COMMUNITY 😘❤️! I hope SH 0.7 will be one of them 😁. I already have the finale of Chasing Sunset coming out soon. It's going to be a hard waiting period 😅. But the excitement and anticipation will just keep growing, and when I FINALLY get that new laptop. 🤯 "Wooooooooowee!" I'm binging everything 🥳🙌🏻! So many AVNs to continue and play 😛!
