Nothing makes any sense lmao. But scenes are pretty sexy

The screenshots make it look like 10 different games for some reason.

That is something I do want to clear up. If you can kinda explain a little bit what you feel is missing to help make things more cohesive. There is no wrong opinion on it, just like to know your thoughts on it.

My goal for the game is to make it one big world/game. A lot of dev's make one short story or scene, package it up and say it done then start on a new game and so on.

Which is totally fine, not everything needs to be a time investment for a good experience. But for me I wanted to make one huge world with many moving parts and when all is said and done all the different pieces will all line up and intersect together.

So to make things clear, I wasn't hating on your game, at all. It makes sense that the game will look confusing and disjointed until further into development. Which is good to know before playing the game. I'll definitely add this one to my list. Good luck for the rest of the dev process!

Could you translate it into Spanish?

This would be a good idea for me to do, Ive thought about it but never posted for translators. Dont know how much something like that would cost though, seems expensive.

Feb 6th update:



Finished a bunch of renders for Ash and Sarah, these would all the tier 1's and from here out things will get spicier.
I've also been reaching out to commission people to reduce the work load of the spin the bottle mini game. Have been talking with coders, writers and artists for it. It is a lot of work on my plate and this should alleviate a lot of time so I can get this game update out a lot sooner.

Feb 21st update:



Finished a lot more Faye content for the spin the bottle game. Not too much more to add this update but still working on getting everything done and out asap.

 

[BlackStarGames]

March 7th Update:



Completing a bunch of sets of more images. Giving enough options for the dares and variations for each clothed, in underwear or naked so that the mini game feels a bit more dynamic when played.
Will update more when the time comes but right now is still a bunch of busy work to be done.

March 27th update:



Nearing towards the end of the final renders for all the dares for the spin the bottle game. Definity a lot more images than I initially had thought. Once I get enough foundation set I can run some open play tests, no idea what the play time would be for the mini game but I am hoping for that nice middle ground of not too long but also not too short.

Up until then I am still trying to get it out as soon as I can.

 

[highstr]

so many girls to choose from wish more content was focused on the main girls

yeah that was my biggest gripe, the sisters are so cute but barely anything from what ive played

April 10th update:



On to the final stretch of the main renders. These are going to be the more spicier ones, the ones in game where everyone has taken a bit too many shots and are more open to doing things they normally wouldnt. The plan is to get enough content in the game then run some play test groups to make sure everything is working swimmingly and once all the bugs are out and all the content is in, then to try for Steam release again. Several people have asked for it and we'll see if Steam wont cuck me out of a 100$ bucks again (they prob will but w/e).

April 25th update:



Finished the renders for Faye, she always takes the longest to get done. That leaves just three girls left then I can start on the final touches and putting it all together. Nothing too crazy to add for this week. Cya until for next time.

Every time I see this game, my mood sinks; only a few years remain until this name defines me...

May 15th update:



Nothing too crazy to post just yet, had a few IRL shit come up but still making progress towards getting all the renders done. Just a quick short post this time.

Till next time.

June 6th update



This month has been really slow for me. My work has decided to put us on a three week training which has been taking up most my time. But at least the good news is that all the girls renders are complete and I do have someone scripting the code at the moment for the game. Just a few small things left (and the code it self) and its ready to go. Also at the end of the month I will be out for a week visiting family, that said I'm optimistic for a July release unless I'm bad at guessing or some more shit comes up.

But sorry for the delay, I did not want this update to take this long to come out either.
Until next time.

July 10th update:



I'm back!

With my irl work having me go through a new training schedule and also doing a personal project for my family there wasn't much time I had to work on the game (and then of course as soon as I come back I get hit with a nasty sickness).

But no more distractions (I hope haha), I'm back to focusing on my game. Good news is that here shortly (a week or two max) I'll be putting the spin the bottle mini game up for a closed beta to make sure we flush out all the bugs and make sure it plays the way I want it to.

I know its been a long time coming (insanely too long) but I'll be happy to finally be done with this mini game and start working on new - normal - updates, ideas that I'm excited to put to life.

The spin the bottle mini game was something I was going to make even before I wrote the first line of code for my game. Its a mini game I enjoyed from other games that I wanted to do the same and more. Will I ever do something like again? No, not to the same degree. It took waaay too much downtime to make that I was not happy about.

Aug 1st update:



Next update will be the release for the new version of the game. Just rendering the last bit of ending scenes for it. So expect that soon.

Trying for Steam attempt number 2 (fingers crossed), I'm waiting right now for them to find some trivial reason to deny it. I had forgot how much a pain setting up a Steam page is. The Steamworks process is something that looks like a time capsule from 1998, the page review process is just as draconic. What do you mean I can't have my game logo with the game art? Why are you flagging images of fully clothed women in non-provocative poses as inappropriate, because she is showing her knees? What do you mean the link for my game website can not contain a link for my game where there is an option to purchase my game? And then it takes a full week for Steam to respond.

Thats just for the Steam release anyways, I would have preferred them to be released at the same time but I'm not going to let Steam hold up the normal release for my game.

Anywho thats enough ranting for now, I finally can't wait to actually have this update done and finished.

Until next time.

Both Steam and Patreon are not even worth the headaches, as what's left after it's been bleached good enough for them isn't worth paying for to many (most?). And even when it is approved it's still banned in most countries since they legally classify it as a kid's site, so it's not like it's an easy way to get global exposure if it has porn or nudity at all in it at any point. And on top of that they take a 30% cut = total ripoff that mostly just makes billionaires even richer. It's why I altogether quit dealing with Patreon 8 years ago (now it's even worse by far) and Steam after last summer's bullshit (I now just pirate the games I want via torrent). Best off just sticking to your own site where you are free to make what you actually want and not what some platform wants.
