Dev update (Patreon)

Hi folks,

Just an update on what's been going on the past couple of weeks and some plans for the next few weeks.  As always, if you have any questions or comments, please let me know in the comments below or send me a DM.

One thing to note: The android version for episode 24 was uploaded a few days after the official release. I mentioned it in comments, but didn't post a separate update about it, so some of you might have missed it (apologies).  It's in an android folder in the official release locations (google and MEGA). Here is the post with the links:  https://www.patreon.com/posts/episode-24-89896325

Remember: The android version is an unofficial version, so the apk file was not created by me.

Current priority: Working on the early episodes re-do.  As mentioned previously, this means a full overhaul of the artwork.  (Re-doing all the art, plus adding a lot more images, plus adding animations). It also involves a lot of edits/improvements to the original script and will also include some new scenes and some additions to existing scenes.  There will be plenty of other features / tweaks to give the player a bit more control. For example:  Can indicate early if you are not interested in a particular woman (or women) and in those cases, this will avoid any unwanted advances and the character will behave differently. And of course, it will have music and sfx. Plenty of other tweaks too and I'll provide more info over the next few weeks. From an artwork perspective, we are currently up to episode 7/8 on the re-do, but this is a first pass and we may end up scrapping some stuff and re-doing again (always ends up happening after a first pass).  And we also need to do quite a lot of error correction and post-work (photoshop work, etc.).  We also skipped a few scenes, so will need to go back to those...we also have to add some new scenes and extend others.  And we only have a small handful of animations done, so will need to do a lot more.  But overall, I'm very happy with the amount of art that has been re-done so far this year.  Initial plans was for the re-do to cover episodes 1-9, but (will make a decision in the next couple of weeks), we may extend this to episode 10. More details to come, once we start finalizing each scene and deciding that we are 100% happy and Cell / I agree that no further tweaks are needed.

So... what have I been up to since episode 24 was released?

Week 1:  The usual after any release. ...Fixing minor items based on feedback from everyone after they have played the game (nothing game-breaking, thankfully...just minor typos, etc.).  And helping people out who had technical difficulties (ahem... user error), downloading the game, figuring out which version they want/need, getting it to run, general PC  / folder related queries, :)   And also gathering feedback on episode 24 to see what hit, what missed, what people liked, etc.

On that note:  If you haven't already done so, please let me know below what YOU did like, what you didn't.... what scenes were a hit, what scenes were a miss. What you would have liked to see more of... what made you want to claw your eyes out... etc.  (So, expect episode 24 spoilers in the comments section).

Week 2: Went AWOL from WTHI for most of week 2 as I had a real-life job work-trip, so was away from home, so didn't get much WTHI work done (Cell as always was keeping the WTHI flag flying).

Week 3 (Last week): I had a week off from my real-life job, so worked double time on WTHI (on the Re-do), so got through a sizeable chunk of work on it.

Cell was continuously working on the re-do artwork throughout the duration (and for all of last month too, while I was finishing episode 24).

I haven't done any work on updating the walk-through, but it is on my to-do list.  Will figure out when I will jump back onto it.

For the rest of this month, the plan is to continue to work on the re-do.  Early next month, I will have a much better indication of how much work is required to complete the re-do, so I will make some decisions on plans for episode 25 versus re-do and keep you all in the loop.  I'm currently mulling over a couple of options as to how to tackle episode 25 to try to avoid an excessive wait time before we catch up on everyone, but will provide more details on that once I've had a bit more time to think of it.  But just to re-iterate... the current focus at the moment is on the re-do.  More info to follow and I'll post weekly updates throughout November, along with sample images and may also look for some inputs on items I am pondering, so expect some polls.

Thanks,

CG

Nice. Sounds good

Overall, I thought the episode was very good. Almost worthy of the long wait and that is definitely saying something positive, because let's be honest, normally even if your head understands that this is just how it is, and you basically couldn't get the update faster, emotionally you basically never feel satisfied with whatever you get, when the time since the last episode was this long. I can honestly say that I didn't feel disappointed by the amount of content and the story progression. The scenes with all characters felt good and fitting, the way events played out worked well, the writing was top (apart from the one point I'll mention later) and I couldn't even pick a favourite scene or part, because it was just overall very good. If you put a gun on my chest, I would probably say the comedy club was the best, just a lot of fun and good dialogue, I don't need anything erotic for that. If there is one slight point of criticism, it is that I am not quite on board with the new way erotic scenes play out. For me, animations really aren't important, but I know they are for many, so I get that devs need to put them into their games to satisfy those who basically won't play any game without animations. The problem is that I feel we lost a bit of quality story-telling this way. It used to be you had scenes consisting of many single images and descriptive text and dialogue, now everything is reduced, but we have a few short animation loops. Due to that, both scenes I had waited so long for Angel/Wanda and Monica/Zarah felt not exactly like a disappointment, but certainly not as great I as would have wished. Perhaps you can find a balance that leans a bit more to story-telling and showing more in-between images before and after the animations. Don't get me wrong, I am not talking about the scenes as a whole, nor the build-up, I am literally just talking about these menus. Most people probably wouldn't agree, but I don't want to constantly have to pick a position, I really rather have your description of the scene and maybe a question about whether AN^L is an option or not and how I want to end the scene. And Cheeky, please don't get me wrong, I still loved the update and will probably like the re-worked early chapters as well, but animations just aren't an equal replacement for quality writing for me (not that the writing that is there isn't as good as usual, it just seems there is a bit less of it in those scenes) and still images with texts IMO just tell a better story, than one animation loop.

I really enjoy this game and am grateful for all your hard work on it. It is an interesting story and the characters are great. My only problem is that I never chose to have sex with Bella and don't particularly care for her so without trying to give a spoiler I am not happy with were it ended. If the MC did not touch her then that ending is not appropriate.

In the scenarios, i encountered one scene that did not allow me to progress with the escort due to low lust (at the theatre) and another that did not allow me to do much with Jolina (going to see her to apologize with Jen) before suddenly being placed in the car with Jen upset that I did not accompany her to see Jolina. The scenarios are meant to show case sex scenes so it was annoying to come across these two encounters where i could not do anything to remedy the situation.

It is a choice based game where choices will impact the storyline. If you get to have sex with ALL ladies regardless of decisions / choices, then the choices would be pointless. In that case, it would just be a visual novel, rather than a choice based game. And there is no escort in the theatre in episode 24. Do you mean Captain Heart? Or do you mean Porsche during the roleplay show (episode 23) ?

Silvio Grijalva

I would be talking about Porsche (an escort) in the dressing room at the theatre in episode 23. In the scene provided by the gallery it said i did not have enough lust points, defeating the purpose of having scenes in the gallery when there is no way i can remedy the situation.
