Public update - April 2016
This month's imageThe maids at the lakeside! Without unnecessary spoilers, this is from a day when the main characters visit a lake for a morning of swimming and fun. What do you think? Does it look like fun?The demoAnother reminder, if you weren't aware there's an early access demo available for PAL! It's available here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/4382087In the demo you're able to access one full sex scene (for Fumi) and see an early access version of the intro, combat system, daily functions and the first six days of st...
Pervert Action: Legacy alpha v0.8.1
This is primarily a bug fix update on version 0.8.0 in order to address the broken night service system. A few extra things have been added as well. Nonetheless this might be worth getting if you were looking forward to the features of 0.8.0 because that version was quite faulty.Download here:https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0B5vgfqb7HxVGl2SDRUVkMtRlE/view?usp=sharing Main changes:- Night service level 5 should now be accessible. There are still a couple of placeholder responses, but mostly it's there.- Iku's night service voice acting...
Update 57
tl;dr - Plenty of image design work this week, as well as some writing. Some things I can talk about right away, some I can't, but the image above is a good sample.Sorry the update is slightly late, I was busy and forgot. :)This week's imageAs I'll discuss below I made some new images this week, particularly for Iku (as well as others). This one is from the sex scene - probably enough said. I like this one; it's not perfectly perfect, but I think it's effective. Opinions?Slowly readjusting from jetlag and a coldI've had ...
Update 56
tl;dr - I'm back from my holiday! I haven't been back very long, however, and I'm still recovering from the trip a little bit so I prepared some more thoughts in advance about my hosting strategies. I also talk about what I'm planning to work on next.This week's imageMore new Kimiko night service! This one's actually for a scene you may have seen (if you've played the alpha) but I've decided to add this new image to it, move the image I had in the scene back to an earlier one and add another earlier stage. Basica...
Update 55
tl;dr - I'm on holiday so I don't have that much news to report right now - just a bit of writing. Instead I decided to talk about the recent end of Kimochi and give you (I think) a nice Fumi pic.This week's imageThis is one of the new night service pictures. I don't know if I need to say too much about it, but it should show up in the next alpha, if you're looking forward to this scene.On holiday, but writingAs I mentioned last week I'm on holiday right now, but trying to do a little bit of writing in my pen and paper n...
Update 54
tl;dr - I'm on holiday! Before I went, however, I was able to release a new alpha.This week's imageHad a good wank today? If not, maybe Kimiko can help. Although she doesn't seem to be enjoying it much, you never know what might be going through her head (or other parts). This image is one I made kind of speculatively, thinking of using it in the night service responses, which ultimately I now have done.On holiday this weekI'm on holiday right now! Woohoo! I managed to get some super cheap deals on flights and accommodation that...

You can give feedback right here in the comments or to my email address: bbben.aif@gmail.comKnown issues:Fumi's bullseye spell isn't working and I don't know why. I still plan to fix it, but for now it expires immediately ...
Update 53
tl;dr - Thanks to work on the threesome scene and the new night service responses I think the next alpha will be ready soon!This week's imageThis is from Fumi's new night service responses.I'll be honest, I'm a little conflicted on this image. I think it's okay, probably acceptable, but I don't think it's one of my better ones. Looking at it I can't put my finger on anything in particular that's wrong with it, though.I'd appreciate any feedback on this picture you can offer - do you like it?Pervert Action...
Update 52
tl;dr - I made small progress on lots of little things this week, and I outline below what I'm now planning for the next alpha.This week's imageKimiko's new kissing practice! And if you check you'll see I've also attached the audio for this scene, so you can hear her as well. Give it a listen and tell me what you think!In the actual game the little frame in the top left corner pops up after a few lines of text, but there's nothing much in the picture behind it so I thought I'd show you the full thing now.I don't ...
Public update - March 2016
tl;dr - I do much more comprehensive updates for patrons, but here's a quick status report; I've released a demo and I'm planning on a release of the full game this year.This month's imageEnter Hiroshi! Actually Hiroshi's been a part of the alpha for a while now, he just doesn't turn up until after the demo part of the game.The demoIf you didn't know I've released a demo for Pervert Action: Legacy!It's here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/4382087I've listened to what people have been saying about the demo ...
Update 51
tl;dr - The demo's been generally well received and I've been thinking about the responses and what they should mean about development.This week's imageA new take on 'kissing service'? I made this image as kind of an experiment for an idea - I think I should be able to use it somewhere whether or not the scene I planned pans out. I'll explain a little more below.Got some more voice acting from SacciI've recently received quite a bit of the sexy fun time voice work from Sacci Salt, who plays Iku. She's really goin...
Update 50
tl;dr - The demo has been released, I've done more rendering and programming, AWFreyr has free time to contribute some more, and I give a big overall progress update.I never feel as productive as I want to be, but this has been a pretty big week, I guess.This week's imageI rendered this image this week; Rio at the lake. I did several lake pics of different girls but I liked this one the best. The lake scene still needs some more images, I think, but at least I've made a start.Demo released!I released the early access demo yesterday....
Pervert Action: Legacy early access demo!
Download the PAL early access demo here: http://depositfiles.com/files/lxxqfefqt(Rather than redistributing this file, please just link people to this post. But do spread the word, thanks!)Remember: this is an early access demo! It's not finished! That means there's going to be some bugs I haven't found yet, as well as some stuff I just haven't implemented yet. I certainly intend to add pictures to one or two more early scenes, for example. Please remember that this is a work in progress. (I would welcome your input and su...
Another Let Me Out test shot
Here's another Let Me Out test picture I was playing around with. This one might be a lot closer than the previous ones to stuff you'd actually see in the game. I figured that maybe some of the uncanny valley problems I've been having with the character model might be fixed if I put her in a more complete environment (as I planned to do anyway). I will be adding more environmental features, too, because I want the scene to look more busy and complete when I'm done with it.I've reverted back to an earlier version of Twyla and...
Update 49
tl;dr - I've worked on testing and fixing the demo this week, as well as continuing to develop the image series for the Ai/Rio sex scene, normalising the volume of the voice acting and doing some miscellaneous programming and image design.Even though I've made decent progress this week it feels slower than I actually want to be progressing. The last few weeks have seen me settling in to my new schedule for my day job, so I guess that's one reason, but it's not a good enough reason for me, so I'm going to try to increase the ...
Beta testers needed for PAL demo
I've decided to release an early access demo for Pervert Action: Legacy and I'm looking for some people to help me test out whether it is working and how it can be improved before public release. This will not include anything much that patrons with alpha access haven't already seen (in fact it will include a lot less than what is in the alpha), instead it includes only one sex scene and only the first 7 days (of 21) of the plot. Many major plot and gameplay features aren't even introduced in the demo, but it does include the co...
Update 48
tl;dr - After some good progress on the Ai/Rio threesome I switched to preparing the early access demo for public release. It's going well and I'm now looking for beta testers.Today's imageIku's Valentine's gift to you! Actually, I honestly don't know if I'll be using the love hearts in this image, I think they look a little silly. I was trying out an idea with this pic based on what you commonly see in hentai art with hearts all around a girl to indicate she's enjoying sex. I will ultimately use the image, thoug...
Update 47
tl;dr - A busy week leads to trouble making progress, but I've tried to make up for it on the weekend. I've mostly developed images, added voice acting and done some programming on the Ai/Rio sex scene.Today's imageI thought I hadn't shown you a Masami image in a while, so here's one. Admittedly she's mostly concealed by Kenji, but I quite like the pose, personally. I made the pose originally some time ago (earlier in the game development), but I've only just placed the characters into this set and rendered them in I...
Public update: February 2016
tl;dr - Alpha v0.7.0 is complete; four of the sex scenes are largely implemented; the game's taking a little longer than expected due to higher quality standards than for the previous games, but progress is good.New public updates!Okay, so I've had a problem lately with my website software. My old website over at bbben.aifcommunity.org is great because the bandwidth was donated to me, but I can't use wordpress or anything like that to build the site. Hence it is crude and crummy, and worse still now that I have transferred computers...
Update 46
tl;dr - I have completed and released PAL alpha version 0.7.0! Now I'm moving on to working on one of the threesome scenes.Today's image:Little bit of a spoiler here, but I think the context of this scene is cryptic enough that you don't really know what's going on. If you're wondering, yes, Rio is pulling Ai's hair in this shot.If you've played the alpha you might have some more clues on what's happening here, but ultimately you'll just have to wait until I've got the Ai/Rio threesome scene ready. If you...
Pervert Action: Legacy alpha v0.7.0

Update 45
tl;dr - Long post today! I've been trying to adjust Twyla's design for LMO to little avail; meanwhile I've had more success with designing new images for PAL and testing the alpha, although that's still proving to be a slow and deliberate process.This week's image:This image isn't a recent one for me - in fact the original pose is one of the earlier PAL images I designed - but I have recently readjusted it and redone it in Iray, so here's the new version. Obviously it's a follow-up to the image I showed in update...
Let Me In is nominated for the 2015 Erins!
...Not that that's a particular achievement, since all AIF releases of 2015 are nominated, but it's still a big deal as far as I'm concerned. So far Pervert Action: Future is the only game I've made that ever won a game of the year award, and while I don't really expect to be in contention again until I release PAL I thought I'd at least drum up a little support. The usual voter base is so small that you guys could easily make the difference.If you want to vote for the game then you can do so right now here: https://d...
Another shot at a new Twyla
Last time I showed you a test image of a newly altered Twyla design for Iray renders I took on board the criticism that she still looked a little uncanny. I've actually had a lot of trouble getting her to look right and not creepy; it's a problem with Iray generally but particularly with Twyla.It must be her design, so I've had another go making some more tweaks to the character. This render here is a little quick and dirty (meaning it's grainy and the shadows are jagged because I didn't run it through the long rendering pro...
Update 44
tl;dr - The testing is still ongoing and I'm improving the game while doing it, mostly by making images. I've also worked a little on future projects.This week's image:I just made this one this morning, from the start of the Ai sex scene. You'll be seeing this scene soon, I hope, if you've got alpha and beta access. I have all this other cool stuff I'd like to show off, but I can't right now because it would involve spoilers.I'll try to show off something a little more explicit next week. I don't want to just...
Opinions? Uncanny valley or not?
I've been having a bit of trouble with this specific picture of Ai. Basically the early drafts were fine but when I re-rendered the image in Iray suddenly it looked very creepy and uncanny-valleyish. Ultimately I think it's an issue from a clash between her cartoonish features (and expressions) and the realistic skin texture.I think I've improved it dramatically, but I'd appreciate opinions on whether I've actually succeeded or if it's still a problem. Thanks in advance! :)
Update 43
tl;dr - I've been making images, testing the game and solving bugs. The next alpha isn't ready, but it will be once I'm done with this round of testing.Today's image:Part of my recent image work (discussed below). You might know this scene if you've played the alpha - Fumi changing a light bulb on day 2 in a slightly unsafe way (notice she's wearing roller skates). I'm not actually 100% happy with this pic, but I thought it was probably good enough to go with it. I thought I'd put it up here in order to solicit o...
Update 42
tl;dr - The new computer is working and I've been doing a bunch of image rendering with it; also I'm planning on doing a demo version of the game, although I'm not sure when. Tell me if you object.Today's image:I hope you're looking forward to the Rio sex scene! This is obviously a shot from that scene, which will be in the next alpha along with the Ai sex scene. Actually the Rio scene is mostly done now, but I would like to finish a couple more images and also finish up the 'bonus sex' puzzle for the scene. Has anyo...
Happy new year!
I'm looking forward to 2016, since 2015 was so good. A lot of that was down to you guys, so I hope you realise how grateful I am! :) Anyway, here's a little sneak peek of my slightly new version of Twyla for her sequel. (After she got out of the tower.) I've been rendering a lot since the new replacement PC arrived, and it hasn't had any problems so far.EDIT: I'm actually starting to think that Iray doesn't work very well with 'looking-down-the-barrel-of-the-camera' angled shots. I think it makes expressions that...
Update 41
tl;dr - The Ai sex scene and the Rio sex scene are both largely finished, I've added some images to the game, and I discuss how I select music for games.Today's image:Iku naked, in Iray, with latest anatomy upgrade. What do you think?I may have shown variations of this pose/shot before (can't remember), but even if I have I'm more pleased with this version than any of the previous ones.Ai sex scene largely finished, Rio programming developing also:Apart from a few small placeholders the Ai sex scene (and romance) is now done. I&...
