Dev Update 05/20/25
Hey, y'all!I FINALLY FIXED MY PC AND FOUND THE ISSUE THAT HAD BEEN KILLING IT THE PAST MONTH OR SO.So, it turns out I had a mildly faulty PSU, so all I had to do was swap it out and BAM, this shit works fucking phenomenally. No crashes in the past week (compared to the crash every 30 minutes before which stopped me from being able to run render queues or even render at all at times)I'm so hyped that even an insane couple of days full of coughing so loud that my neighbors probably want to call a hit on me, and a sore throat so bad even a...
Dev Update 05/13/25
Hello.So much shit happened this week that if I told you about it it would just sound like I'm making excuses, so I just won't, and we'll chalk the slow progress up to me being a bum or something.ANYWAY!The numbers are up to 2,379 images and 72 animations. It's kinda shit, but the queue is packed and the numbers should be way up next week (if my PC cooperates smh)That's about it, I would like to once again apologize for the slow ass week, and I'll absolutely make up for it by the next dev update. I've attached a rend...
Dev Update 05/06/25 (Bum dev is petrified)
Hey, y'all!I ain't really got shit to say this week.

We thug it out and keep it pushin'.The numbers are now up to:2,300 images 71 animations20k+ words or something (been a while since I checked and I cba to do it again)Anyway, imma get my ass back to work.

Dev Update 04/28/25
Hey, y'all,Finally got properly back into the grind and shit. I'd been getting horrendous numbers coming off my break. I'm talkin' a streak of less than 10 renders a day, which is absolutely dogshit by my current standards.Anyway, who the fuck cares about that? You wanna hear about the numbers, so let's get into them after a brief word from our sponsor this week: TakoYuh and their lovely game, Westview Academy! You can wishlist that bad boy on Steam right now. (I will literally drop to my knees, cry, and throw up a little if...

April RS Wallpapers
Made this "set" of Alyssa... in ropes??? (fuck knows what to call this shit lmao)Anyway, I made it when I came back home to try and get used to Daz again, so I figured I might as well post it instead of just letting it rot in my hard drive hehe
TakoYuh: The Bum Dev Chronicles. (Dev Update 04/21/25)
Hey, y'all! I am OFFICIALLY back in development. I swear, next time I take time off I'm just gonna stay home and sit on my ass doing nothing. This traveling shit is NOT for me.That shit was so much going back and forth, dealing with hotels, walking everywhere in what seemed to be the least pedestrian-friendly cities in the world due to the expensive ass Ubers, and coming back home through the capitalist hell that are mega-airports (7 dollars for a water bottle?????)Anyway, who wants to hear about the new render and animation totals??? D...
bum dev can't even vacation properly, is there anything this dickhead can do right? (Dev Update 04/14/25)
Hey, y'all!VacationYuh here letting you know we just hit 1900 renders and 62 animations.Fucked up the math for how long it would take to render 'cause I accidentally rendered a bunch of scenes at a lower resolution than I usually do, so I'm gonna make a quick detour back home and top up the queue a bit more, 'cause I feel bad whenever the PC is just sat there doing fuck all.(Apologies if the images look crunchier than a motherfucker, I'm using hotel wifi and it's straight ass🔥💔)Stay safe,ily<3
Aha! The bum dev scammed you by not scamming you when you thought they would scam you! (Dev Update 04/07/25)
Hey, y'all!So!As you may know, I am fucking off for a few days (starting this weekend, to be exact) which means progress will slow down... OR NOT!My ass locked the FUCK in and worked my ASS off like I never have before. My mindset was basically "If I'm already burnt out, it really can't get much worse than this, so lemme drain myself as much as possible real quick".So, yuh, I have a big ass render queue that covers even more than those 10 days or so I'll be away, so we should be good.Anyway, I'm still going to drop a...

The confessions of a bum dev. (Dev Update 03/31/25)
Hey, y'all!Bit of a serious post this time, so lemme just go ahead and drop the numbers for the people who just wanna know about the progress. 1,635 renders. 58 animations.Added a bunch of music and did some playtesting/proofreading.---------------------------------------------- Now, I just wanna start off this post by saying how much I have enjoyed making Westview, and how lucky I am to have sort of an outlet to just do a bunch of silly shit and just create stuff that people enjoy. I know it sounds a bit stupid considering t...

The poll terrorist is on the board, so I decided to do duos this month to make it at least slightly interesting

Uhhh... we got Save Transfers now...
uhhhhh we like, have save transfers now go download the latest version if you want, I guess, or don't if you have the Steam version as this is essentially the same thingdon't really need them right now, but you're gonna want to set them up before Chapter 7/Season 2 drops as it will be a whole new thingas for other non-save related changes I made, there were 2 scrapped/modified scenes. I fucked up the variable for Athena's breakup scene and Yana's phone number thing, so imma be a mean ass dictator and change it so those scene...
Dev Update 03/18/25
Hey, y'all!Ain't really got much to say this week. I've been slummin around working on side hoes and finishing up some of the main hoes content, so shoutout to Paige and Leslie for being so nice to work with. Gonna miss working with 'em for the rest of the dev cycle, but we keep it pushin and move on to the rest.The numbers now sit at 1,377 images and 52 animations. Acceptable numbers, I'd say.That's about it for this week. Click on the wishlist thingyand I'll consider turning Westview into a harem game (I won't)...
Dev Update 03/11/25
Hey, y'all!SO!I got work done.A lot.So much.Crazy amount.(I lied. I animated for most of the week and it made me mildly suicidal 'cause Daz sucks and it takes forever for animations to get posed and rendered.)The numbers are now at 1,173(+72 from last week) images and 48(+12 from last week) animations.As you can see, there will be a lot of animations of main hoes bouncing, spinning, gobblin and glorpin on it, and if I have spare time/get bored I'll work on side hoes too.ANYWAY! I still have some in the queue that are fully posed and...

Dev Update 02/25/25! (The trials and tribulations of a bum ass dev)
Hey, y'all!Tuesday means a new dev update from the absolute prettiest developer in the whole world, and if you say I'm not, I'll slap you.This week started out extremely slow, as I had to go catch a bus to ship out my drive (I'll never shut the fuck up about that drive 'cause it was a traumatizing experience, okay?) and ended up staying at my parents place for a bit. I was pretty bummed out about losing a few days of productivity, but all it took was some friendly competition against some other devs and my ass locked the fuc...
Very important update regarding save transfers and Steam stuff.
Hello! I just wanted to drop in and quickly let you guys know that the Steam versionincluding save transfers is now live and out of Early Access. You might be wondering "Tako, who the fuck cares about Steam? Also update when, you whore?!"Which would be quite rude, and you would make me cry, so don't do that. Anyway, you might've read in the previous dev update that my Ren'Py drive kicked the bucket, and my backups are ancient, so I'm going to wait until I hear back from the people handling the data recovery an...
Dev Update 02/17/25
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHI've made a few jokes before along the lines of "dog ate my hard drive, game is now on hold", but a dog might as well have done it 'cause that motherfucker decided to die on me yesterday. Luckily it was just the drive I kept my Ren'Py shit in, so worst case scenario I lose all my backups for previous versions of the game + some other random data I kept in it. I've started the recovery process and will be sending it in to hopefully get that shit restored. Anyway, all of that is not ideal, but shouldn't a...
What is something you'd like to see in future Wallpaper sets?
I'm sat here tryna think of render themes and angles for a render set, so I figured I'd ask y'all what you guys want to see in future render sets to hopefully deliver a more enjoyable product or something. I dunno, man. I'm drunk and bored.

It wasn't my best, but it was still pretty good.I've been working on a few scenes and switching between them because I have the attention span of a toddler. Shoutout to Leslie (in an environment you might recognize if you're an Alyssa enjoyer :0), Brooke, and Mary.As for the numbers, they're now ...
