Update 0.49 - Closing into the End
Update 0.49 (FULL): Pixeldrain | MEGAHello everyone! This will be the last update before the 1.0 release.The scope here was similar to the last few updates, wrapping up a few of the side storylines, specifically Liam's and John's.Along with that, I fixed several bugs, one related to clothing that was reported on the Discord, and cleaned up more text that talked about content being included in future updates that I forgot to clean up before. Hopefully that's the last of them.There is a few more scenes too now to be found on the bathr...
Update 0.47 - More Endings and Bonus Scenes
Update 0.47 (FULL): MEGA | PixeldrainAnother update out!This one is similar to the last update, my focus was again on writing more endings and finishing Noah's route.Originally I planned the other paths to have similar amount of content to what the path I've been working on during previous updates had, but I felt like there wasn't enough difference in the approach of how each route worked to have enough room to work with without just doing the same thing.So I made the Endings to get to the point of each path and what the implication...
Update 0.46 - Ending and Bonus Scenes
Update 0.46 (FULL): MEGA | PixeldrainAnother update here!This time it's a smaller update mainly to finish up with the pending content from Noah's route and the scenes added on the previous update.My initial intention was to keep adding a couple more scenes but for now my main focus is still on trying to finish this route up. Though I still left enough room so in the future if I want to look back into adding a few more events on this route I can do so without much issue.Along with the ending, one of my other intentions was to add a bit o...
Update 0.45 - Training Improvements
Update 0.45 (FULL): Mega | PixeldrainAt last here's the new update!There are quite a number of changes but first I'll talk about introducing the new modifiers used during training.To first unlock these, you will have to go through a few "story events". When you do unlock them, you will find them in a new option inside the "Adjust Training" tab, under the label "Training Preparations".At the moment I didn't want to go too deep into adding many modifiers, however, the whole thing is working and it's just a ...
Another delay
Bad news again, I apologize. The reasons for this delay are pretty much in line with the same reasons for last month's update.Since a lot of the time I spent on development hasn't been very focused, there's still a couple of things that are yet to be fleshed out, specially regarding making proper UIs for the new menus. Along with possible redesigns of previous UIs like the one used during Training, as I'm finding a few issues that are a bit hard to get around with some details I want to add, like a way to show the ongoing effect...
Update Delay
Hey! I'm delaying this month's update. Main reason for the delay is that I want to deliver a bigger and more finished update next month.Right now, I have several scenes written about the next few story events, but a few things that I've yet to work into is adding the extra functionality in the training minigame. My aim for next month if finishing up those last touches to improve the UI and add all the extra flavor stuff that I wanted to include in the minigame.If everything goes to plan, you can expect big progress into finishing th...
Update 0.44 - Training UI and Story
Update 0.44 (FULL): Mega| PixeldrainOne more update!This time I spent a bit of time trying to tinker around many different ideas for how I want the UI to look like, I managed to hit on something that looked somewhat closer to what I was aiming for originally. Main thing that I do want to optimize with the current UI is adding some way to navigate it more easily. I was thinking of some kind of keyboard fuctionality to "Confirm" the chosen option and also to change between the different tabs during Training Sessions.Also, I want to make i...
Update 0.43 - Interactive Training
Update 0.43 (FULL): MEGA| PixeldrainAnother update!This time I had to take a bit more time than usual, I really noticed these last few days I bit a bit more than I could chew when thinking and planning all I wanted to implement with this update...As I stated previously, this update is all about Noah's route. Specifically, the path where the more degrading options are taken.With this update, I'm changing how Noah's training is going to be performed into the future.Now, the process of training is going to be throughout a "training...
Update 0.42 - Spa
Update 0.42 (FULL): MEGA| PixeldrainAnother update here!As stated before, I've been tinkering around with adding a new job and this was one of those I wanted to add in some way or another.You can find and visit this job inside the game's Inventory/Phone tab.It is accesible and different through all the stages of the game. With different kinds of introductions for each one of them.Mainly during the Girl Stage there are some occasional opportunities for extra scenes that give more money. During the endgame, the MC will be given a special ...
Update 0.41 - Robotics
Update 0.41 (FULL): MEGA| PixeldrainAnother update!As stated before, there were several small things that I was still working on while making this update. One of these was a new 'Appearence' tab:While some of the text-only descriptions remained, mainly for the stuff related to the mental changes in the MC, the main change for this tab in this update is in the new 'Check out your Body...' option in the lower section of the 'Appearence' tab.This new tab is a nicer way to look at the physical changes in the MC's body th...
Update delayed
As stated in the title, I'm delaying this month's update.For the most part, I've been working on the new 'Appearence' tab and trying to find appropiate videos for the scenes I've intended to include a video in. Main problem right now is not being so satisfied with how the images and videos fit the scene and context, but aside from that, I also overlooked working on making new content and advancing on some of the other stuff I wanted to add.So for now I prefer taking my time with this stuff to make sure I'm happy with...
Update 0.40 - Adjustments
Update 0.40 (FULL): MEGA| PixeldrainAnother update!On this update I mainly focused on making a thorough revisit on most of the routes and paths that are in the game so far.Of course, some stuff being pretty old, I wanted to adjust some of the writing to fit the currently formatting and style, correcting typos, improving descriptions, and also adding some hints to further help with knowing how to complete the current task.I didn't have enough time to do all the adjustments that I wanted to make but I do have some notes now so I'll try to...
Update 0.39 - Surgeries and Sex Toys
Update 0.39 (FULL): MEGA| PixeldrainAnother update here! This month I worked on a couple of things in the game.The new location previously introduced in the last update now has 2 more scenes to enjoy. One of these involving a sex machine and the other a very advanced VR device that takes realism to a whole new level.I had a bit of thinking that last idea through for a bit, specially because it allows for a bit of more versatility in the future when I want to write more scenes involving that idea mixed with a couple of other ones.Along with that...
Update 0.38 - Sex Toys Innovations
Update 0.38 (FULL): MEGA| PixeldrainAnother update here! This month I was a bit all over the place with the kind of stuff I wanted to work on the game, with the main thing being the new location I wanted to try out being "Eros' Labs"This new location is basically a Sex Toy manufacturer, however, I wanted this place to involve more interesting ideas and concepts about what kind of technology could be implemented in the future of this industry. I included two new scenes involving two different toys. This place is unlocked after hittin...
Update 0.37 - Hypnotist Finale
Update 0.37 (FULL): MEGABack with another update! This month's update was focused on finishing up the last few scenes regarding the Hypnotist Route and reaching its climax.I had a ton of fun and I'm happy to see another route being finished. I always planned this one to be a bit simpler but it still made for a pretty fun ride while thinking about all the different concepts and ways one could implement triggers and gradually make them more and more of a problem.Now that all of that is finished, I'm mainly looking forward to work on o...
Update 0.36 - More Hypnosis
Update 0.36 (FULL): MEGAAnother update!This time I mainly focused on continuing to map out some of the next concepts I wanted to develop in the new Hypnotist path.The "college" option for the previously introduced choice inside that path now has a proper scene when you try to go to College, which for now is going to be an introduction to what I will work on later. (A different kind of sidestory similar to the College Slut stuff from a few updates ago)There's also a new bit of progress from the main path, with a dream scene hinting a...
Update 0.35 - Shorts and Triggers
Update 0.35 (FULL): MEGAShorts are here! Something that I've been meaning to add for a while but never got around to it since it really does change quite a bit in how I would have to plan some future scenes and also the changes to the past scenes I already wrote. I talked about that in the previous post.I will say in advance that there is a decent chance that I may have missed some mentions of skirts in some dialogues, but most mentions of them should be adapted to reflect what the MC is currently wearing at that moment.The other thing I wo...
No update today
Another delay, again due to some stuff going on in my life. It's been a few busy and stressful weeks.This time I do want to at least comment a bit on some of what I've been working on, that being adding Feminine Shorts and Pants, since I feel it is a much needed new vanity option. The main issue with adding those is that since I hadn't planned for that stuff before pretty much all the text and scenes in the game imply that the MC is wearing a skirt at those times. That means that I have to go through all the stuff I wrote and checki...
Update delayed
Just wanted to make a brief post about this update's delay this month, I couldn't do much work due to some personal issues at home keeping me pretty busy. It's nothing to worry about but it does take a significant amount of my time and resulted in me losing a bit of focus from the project.I'm pretty sure I'll have something for next month, since as I mentioned before I have to polish a few things to get some content ready and I'll keep working on adding more to that.As always, thanks for the patience and your continued s...
Update 0.34 - College Slut
Update 0.34 (FULL): MEGAAnother Update! This time around I mainly put my focus on finishing the stuff I continued on the previous update, being this side story in the College section.For the most part, I wanted to keep it pretty simple but also make it have a decent impact on the whole College section of the game, as such, turning it around into a new job seemed quite fitting and what the goal was from the beginning.With that being said, another thing I was working on was the whole Hypnotist route involving triggers. Which I'm still experim...
Update 0.33 - Holiday Fun
Update 0.33 (FULL): MEGAHey! A bit of a smaller update than usual this time, but I really didn't want to delay the update any further again.I also want to mention about the smaller update I meant to release in the middle of month, which originally was going to be all about adding clothes, but then I thought of including a scene with a theme around the holidays. I wanted to wait a bit to publish it at first but then with all the stuff and family gatherings going around these days I just didn't end up uploading around the days I wanted to...
Update Delay - Minor update coming in a week or two
Probably the last delay in a while, as I've been thinking of changing a few things about the way I handle my schedule. While this month I don't feel I have enough content fully fleshed out to release a proper update, I do want to release a minor update in a week or two.I want to keep doing these minor updates every few months if I feel like they are worth releasing before the actual update. Note that these would be adding to the amount of updates each month, not replacing proper updates.What I would refer to minor updates would be thing...
Update 0.32 - Options, options...
Update 0.32 (FULL): MEGAAt last, I managed to put together many of the ideas I had while also planning ahead enough to solidify them into the game and release a proper update.I will also mention that while I would've liked to add more content, this was pretty much all that I could fit while also allowing myself some room to expand on new ideas.For now, I will explain the main part of this update, which expands on the last route I added related to a Trigger focused form of progression.This time, I felt like due to the main concept of the sec...
Bigger change of plans than expected...
I'm very annoyed again of doing this but I just wouldn't be satisfied with publishing what I have, something I stated before. Starting next month however, I will try to avoid any other delays and just focus on working on what I know I can do.This time, I tried to do a little more than what I actually was capable of. As one of the things I was working on is finding a way to implement MC's change into becoming a girl in the latest route.While initially I wanted to make it start a bit later on the route, I thought of just moving it ear...
One last Delay + More of what I'm working on
Again, I decided to delay the update because of not being satisfied with the amount of stuff I got to work on. It bothers me to do this again but I actually prefer to do this rather than publish something I'm not completely happy with.However, there are a couple of things that I've already polished quite a bit and that I'm excited with how they've been turning around and I will share in this post.Before I mentioned how creating situations where interacting with previously introduced characters would be probably too ambitious of ...
Delay + What I've been working on
Unfortunately it seems I haven't reached a point where I'm completely satisfied with what I have at the moment to release an update again. This time, mostly due to the fact that some of my focus has shifted towards the other game/project I want to keep developing slowly through this year.Most of the work I've done this month for the game has been on testing different ways to approach the effect of the triggers on the latest route I've implemented, including some new effects that would come with more scenes.For now, I think that ...
Update 0.31 - Slut For Hire
Update 0.31 (FULL): MEGAAs I've been mentioning before, the new locations added previously to the post-ending area were something I've been trying to toy around with, specially regarding the way the interface worked. However, I never managed to be completely satisfied with the look, something I mostly blame on my own lack of knowledge about any graphic design.Despite that, I wanted to get back to work and focus into developing the content-side of these new locations, which is the thing I focused for the most part on this update.Slut For...
1-2 Week delay. Computer Issues
Luck has not been on my side this past few weeks, and just a few days ago, my computer stopped working.I tried for an entire day all kinds of different issues I could check but it seemed to be down to one of two components, either my PSU or my motherboard failed, more likely the PSU, since from day one I knew it was a sort of dodgy brand even if it claimed to be a pretty decent unit.As a heads up for what's coming, I decided to put aside my more ambitious idea of releasing a fun looking UI and decided to go for something more simple for som...
One last delay + A look into the next update
Again, it's been a bit hard to feel satisfied with how the things I've been planning are turning out, so I'm taking some extra time just to be sure it turns out well enough. Also, this month's sub's will be frozen as any other month without a proper update.To give a bit of a heads up on what I've been working on, I wanted to fully flesh out the "Slut Club" content I added some time ago. My main idea was to add some playable minigames, and I've been testing a bit with some ideas, mainly involving a rhythm base...
Update 0.30 - A New Route
Update 0.30 (FULL): MEGAAs I teased earlier, I had a new Route planned in mind. And this update is mainly laying the foundations for that new Route.First, I want to explain that this update only adds this new Route. While my intention was to drop a bigger update. I decided to delay it a bit more, and blend it all together in the next update. I will talk more about this in another post.Now, I want to explain a bit about what the scope for this new Route is. Mainly, as I already revealed in the previous teaser, the main intention was to make it v...
