Feedback Request
Hey all,I'm looking for some serious, no bullshit feedback or criticism. I recently advertised the game over on Lemma Soft and received some pretty strong criticism (which I honestly appreciated). Here's the link if you want to check it out yourself:https://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=47169I prefer transparency in my approach and wanted to share it with others; specifically those of you who are supporting the project personally. Thus, my question to you, is do you prefer the game in it's current state? For example...
Proverbial Good News/Bad News
Here's another peek at what's going on...Good NewsDespite the school workload setback, I am actually pretty well on track for the next update to launch about the same time as the previous ones have. I'm still rendering more CGs but right now I've already added 60 new ones, officially making this the most graphic intense update yet!I'm hoping to release the new update shortly after the first of January but I haven't started any of the testing yet and I'm not sure how chaotic the holidays will be. I remain optimistic r...
V0.31 Free Public Build
Hey all,I'm dropping the free public build of v0.31 a few days earlier than originally anticipated. Mostly because of the holidays. I want to give a wider audience a chance to view the game and spot bugs that I could potentially fix in v0.4 prior to launch. With the upcoming holidays, I may have a little less time. I've also added a permalink to the overview of the Patreon page for future guests. It only makes sense and was a stupid thing not to do earlier. Thanks for the continued support all-AarynPC: https://mega.nz/#!xvBhRYTC!OuY2oJE...
v0.4 is in the works...
SupSo school is officially done for the semester and that gives me a few weeks to try and crank out more of the game. I got a late start on this update so I"m somewhat curious (or perhaps anxious) to see where I get by the end of the month. I have 2 potential plans but my intent is to have something released by the beginning of the month as usual. Essentially, this update will be a little more linear than the previous ones but there will be some additions and the same amount of CGs as the past few. Stay tuned.Here's a peek...
v0.4 New Area Preview
Hey all,Just checking in. So apparently the college can now afford to put in a full bathroom rather than just a shower :pHere's a preview of the new bathroom area I'm working on. Multiple events will eventually take place here but just thought I'd share a shot of the concept.Progress on the game is pretty rough with finals. I have yet to start writing any of the next update but focused on CGs instead so they could render while I was writing papers (Got 26 new ones done so far). So technically things are moving forward but I haven...

Final v03 Update Thoughts...
The upcoming v03 release is on the horizon. I wanted to check in and drop one more screenshot to give you a preview of a new area I plan to setup in the future. This pic is kinda different but some of the others may spoil the update a bit so I ended up talking myself out of posting them.This update was a bitch. A lot of coding changes that I am still learning and I worked myself into a massive bug in my testing phase. I think I got it straightened out tonight but more testing over the next few days should boost my confidence about it. One of my...
Free Public Build v0.2 Release
Hey all,Here's the free build for v0.2. I've tried to move the story forward a decent chunk.Please let me know if anything isn't working, bugs, etc.PC:https://mega.nz/#!s34ihT7L!LHv6dc67MplNdxRK1cQbVb7jci-dgeb355l9a3DZO60MAC:https://mega.nz/#!cyQSnTRT!blhixzpeh1T2j99EnYl20Gz2LRQ81JG7fVA5wbf0G6sChangelog v0.2-Added Day 2 story-Day 3 starts a Sandbox that is now repeatable and will slowly be modified based on choices, relationships, or items acquired.

Updates...
I'm putting the finishing touches on v.03. Finishing up the last few images and need to do a few more test runs for stat balance. Hoping to have it out shortly after the first of the month.Here's another upcoming peek into some of the additions. Zack learns a few ways to make improvements in the locker room.
Typos
Hey peeps,I wanted to drop a quick line and invite people to post areas with typos. I've found a few when I've started to go back through testing the early dialogue and I'm sure I've still missed a few--maybe even several. I'm sure more people will suggest changes once I post the free version, but I would like to have all the typos from v01 and v02 corrected in v03 if I can. Let me know if anyone sees things. Feel free to be picky. There is a shit-ton of slang in this so those parts are purposeful but if you have something y...
Turning up the Heat!
So I've been quiet so far on this update but things are going along. I will admit that I bit off quite a bit on this one and am desperately trying to cram stuff in to get to a decent stopping point. I seem to be having a hard time saying "no" to stuff in this update.Good news is there's, imo, quite a bit of new content and a lot of coding changes in this one.Here's an upcoming CG to celebrate Zack's ability to get the heat working at the end of last updateI also found a solution to the stats issue that is fairly easy to ...
Thoughts and Feedback
Hey all,So I'm looking at two different things right now and wanted to get some community feedback from all.UI States MenuAre people looking for some type of a stats menu to keep track of your relationship points or no? Right now this would include Braden points, Ernie points, and the Stealth skill. I have mixed feelings about this. I feel like if you can see that it's point based (which technically it is) people would watch the points as the means to "grind." This would detract from the story, imo. While there will be a grindin...
Elite Menu
So, as promised. The main menu screen had an less censored version of Braden's selfie. Attached is the version without his boxers for the Elite members. Hope you enjoy. It's sill kinda censored but will give you a glimpse of things to come.For those of you that wanna switch this out for the actual title screen, just rename it to "main.png" and drop it in the game image folder, overriding the other one.Thanks again for being the first elite crew! I appreciate you all!

The First Month...
Hey all,First thing, Happy Halloween if you give a crap about that kinda stuff! Not only is it Hallow's Eve but it's also the eve of the first Patreon rewards for the sight. While I'll admit some anxiety about hoping I didn't fuck something up, I'm a little optimistic about the upcoming update as well. For members and above (so $5 plus) I plan to put a link to the new v0.2 update within the next few days or so. This will be my first experience with Patreon so I'm honestly not sure how things are going to go. I ask your p...

Checking In...
Hey all,So here's just one of the new CGs for the next version. I'm continuing to move the story forward beyond the first day from the demo. While, I still have a few goals to hit before the new update, I wanted to post some info on the upcoming content to give you a bit of a preview.I've added a second full day which introduces Zack attending class for the first time. The second day also runs you through some of the event prep and various activities you can do with Braden after school.I'm currently working on setting up the thi...

Straight!? Launched!
Hey all,So here is the cover art of the upcoming game. I have a demo almost done but it is fairly short. I do want to get it out there so people can see it and I can get early feedback on it. What I don't want, is to spend a ton of time working on something that others will have a huge negative reaction to. Therefore early feedback is important to me.This shows one of the main characters, Braden; the potential love interest for our main character. This should give you an idea for the art style and CG quality. I have an older rig so my quali...
