Update - 24 April 2017
🕑 Added 2017-04-24 13:00:01 +0000 UTC tl;dr - I'm back! And I'm busy getting the LMO update ready.I had a big decision to make today. I won't go into it right now, maybe I'll say a little more about it later, but it's not really necessary right now. It was a really hard decision and I'm not certain whether I made the right choice, but I think I did. Anyway, let's get on with the update, enough of this vague talk. :)
This month's image
Okay, so I've decided once and for all to not worry about this particular spoiler. If you're my backer you must by now be aware that (SPOILER CENSORED)
Anyway, the picture is, obviously, a foot fetish scene that was actually commissioned for the PAL expansion pack by a patron! I am quite happy with how it turned out; I think even people who aren't interested in foot fetish might enjoy this one.
Back to work after my holiday
Since arriving back from my holiday I've been slowly adjusting to real life again. :) This has been harder than expected, I've been slow to get back into the time zone and I'm still getting back into my usual rhythm of work, although I'm doing my best. Normally vacations don't knock me about quite so much as this one, but I suppose I was in a really busy, stressful work phase before I left, so I'm only just getting the chance to slow down now.
I had to do a lot of work before the trip to make sure I could take the time off, and now that I'm back I need to do a lot of work just to catch up on the lost time. Still, I think I should be back to a normal pace soon.
Programming LMO for a release this month
I've been adding a bunch of new commands for you to type in LMO since getting back. I'm planning to release an update this month, preferably in under a week. I can't be quite sure what will be in this next update, but I am hoping to include three more endings. In the first version I released there was only one ending – the ending that happens if you run out of time and still have low lust and low trust. I figured this would be the most logical ending to include first because there wasn't enough trust and lust that you could earn anyway. This time, obviously, if I'm going to have endings that require more trust and lust then I'm going to have to expand the available options so there are enough points to earn to get the endings.
Whether I can do all this in the time remaining I don't know – we'll see. I'll certainly release something, I just don't know what will be in it yet. I'll cram in as much as I can. Right now my plan is to put out a $10 release this month, then next month I'll put out a $5 release, then at some point after that a $1 release and then a public one. The game won't be complete at that point, however, and I'll be going back to $10 releases after that for a while.
While I was on holiday, incidentally, there was some progress made on the writing both by me (when I got a few minutes here and there) but more importantly by EFon, who was working on the game for a while at my request. I offered him some Patreon money to cover his time in contributing to the game, because I wanted real progress to be made even while I was on holiday. He's been doing great work!
PAL expansion pack progress
Also, I did the same thing on the PAL expansion pack – a few weeks back I offered AWFreyr some of the Patreon money this month to help me write the expansion. I'm still taking charge of some sections myself, but AWFreyr helped out with sections of PAL already so he knows the story and how it should feel. He's great and has been doing really good work.
I had been hoping to be able to quickly put out an update for this too this month, but right now I don't think that's realistic. I need to focus on LMO, then put out a PAL update next month. The first new PAL expansion pack update will be a $10 tier release.
I do want to go into detail about the features that will be in it, but that should be in a public post and I also just don't know for sure what we'll include right now. I can say that we're definitely adding more chances to molest the girls during the day, more voyeur lesbian encounters as well as more Hiroshi night service 'deals'. We're hoping to add some new interactive orgy scenes too, time and workload permitting.
I've got some nice pics from this expansion that I'm looking forward to showing off, too. I've made several of those this week and I'm pretty happy with them.
Let me know if you're looking forward to any of these upcoming features and releases! Also, what would you most like to see in LMO or the PAL expansion pack? Did you enjoy the Fumi twist? Let me know in the comments!

Thanks! Even this picture looks pretty rough to me, I could probably brighten the lighting here a bit, for example. But I do like the 'fleshiness' of Fumi and Hana. Their room is pretty bare in the first place so there's not a whole lot I can do about that, but as I've shown before I'm using more complex environments for the future. I've got a whole new set for Iku and Kimiko's room, which looks nicer.

It's hard to return but if you felt so you needed a bit of rest. I can't comment your hard decision because I don't know what is, but I hope for the better, for the image I can only say that your skills are way better than 1 year ago.
