v.0.5 Release Schedule

Yesterday, finally, I managed to finish the new chapter after a week of rewriting one of the most complicated scenes due to branching. I gave it to the betatesters that are part of the team to test everything and catch some of the mistakes in the English translation that I may have made, while I dedicate myself to set the soundtrack.

If everything goes as usual, I can share with you the r...

v.0.5 Progress (II)

I should reduce the size of the updates. The updates are getting bigger and bigger (Just kidding, I have no intention of doing so).

This time, pending beta test two of the 12 scenes, the Spanish text has reached 21,999 words (v.0.2 had 12,275, v.0.3 14,380, v.0.4.1 11,477 and v.0.4.5 11,551). I'm still immersed in the English translation so I can't say how many it will have, but I estimat...

Back in the Day (II)

Talking in a forum about Daphne's proposal to play D&D at Game Night, I remembered that I made some time ago this test render with the girls as they would be in the game. 

Introducing:

Daphne: DM and Half-Elf Cleric.

Emma: Aasimar Paladin

Erika: Tiefling Rogue

Scarlett: Fairy Mage

Since it was a test render, I didn't even put the pointy ears on Daphn...

Martha Wardrobe test

Hi,

I was doing a test render for some new wardrobe for Martha and, as this render in its current form won't make it into the game, I wanted to share it with you.

Upfront charge

After the free publication of v.0.4.1 on various websites, there has been a significant increase in the number of players who have registered as Patrons. My sincere thanks to all of you, both newcomers and those of you who have been here since the beginning..

There has also been a significant increase in the number of people who register, download the latest update (0.4.5...

v.0.5 preview

What's better than getting up in the morning for a yoga class with five beautiful women?

I know, I know, it could be naked yoga; who knows if that dream will come true in the future?

v.0.5 Progress

This time I'm not going to make cool graphics, you know I'm really bad at predicting how long the update is going to be:

Planned scenes: 13 (3 of them spicy).

Fully written scenes: 6 (the others have at least the outline of the script, at most 75% written). 

Fully rendered scenes: 4 (146 still images + 41 animated frames)

I still remember when I opened the site and ...

Back in the Day (I)

I was doing a backup of some renders from the early design days of the game, back in February, and I've found this test render.

The header image was going to be the cover of the game until I realized that the Ren'py menu was hiding Scarlett and the girl next to her. 

By the way, the girls between Scarlett and Saira/Eileen were the original designs of the first four students. In...

v.0.4.5b Release

As promised, here is v.0.4.5, covering the end of Day 6 - Sunday.

It consists of:

12,345 words in English (I wouldn't have gotten that number even if I had purposely tried).

11,551 words in Spanish (the number doesn't look so nice)

2.396 lines of code (1.693 in each language + 703 shared)

416 still images

14 short animations

89 animated frames

505...

v.0.4.5 Release Schedule

I lied to you, but I'm not sorry.

I promised you the figures below for the second part of the update v.0.4 in the post in which I announced that I would split it into two parts:

11,500 words in English

10,656 words in Spanish

250-300 still images

3-4 animations

30-40 animated frames

280-340 renderings in total

Today I can say...

v.0.4.0 Release

As promised, here is the new update v.0.4.0, which covers half of Day 6 - Sunday.

It consists of:

11,477 words in Spanish

12,326 words in English

1,764 (1,645 + 119) lines of code in each language

313 still images and 285 animated frames (4 animations) for a total of 598 renders.

Added corrections by a native English proofreader for days 0-4

As for the ...

v.0.4 Release schedule

Finally, I have decided to split v.0.4 into two parts because I don't have time to finish the rendering of the images in the desired time, and because I am a compulsive rewriter and I have added an extra scene with more than 1,000 words in Spanish.

As you can see, the length of the first part (v.0.4.0) will be very similar in terms of story to v.0.2, but with more renders and animations.<...

v.0.4 Update Status

Here is the status of the next update. It is going at a good pace, but it is not without "problems".

As some of you know, I have been away for 17 days on a work trip. Although the planning of the publication of the update had taken this trip into account, I am slightly behind schedule, as during these days away I have rewritten parts of the script and, at the end of the trip, I had a scri...

Why is Samantha so surprised?

Next update (v.0.3) status

I continue working on the next update and, as this time I do not depend on anyone outside the team, I will be able to meet the established deadlines, even if it is only a few days since the release of the previous (delayed) update.

The current status of the release is as follows:

~12,500 words in English. Done

~12,000 words in Spanish. Done

331 renders. Done

Lookin...

Update 1 (v.0.2.0b)

We are finally able to publish the scheduled update that had been delayed due to the proofreading.

Unfortunately, our collaborator has been immersed in real-life problems and, after a month of waiting, today he has informed me that he could only correct the background, so I apologize in advance if you find errors in the translation or phrases that do not sound too natural in English. ...

About pregnancy

I am designing a system to get girls pregnant (starting with the v.0.4 update) and I would like to know your opinion. 

I have thought of a random system in which each creampie with a particular girl adds up. It will not apply to side-girls or one-night-stands.

Each time a girl is creampied a random threshold is generated (the value of which depends on whether the girl is on bir...

Naming the renameable characters

To avoid confusion and overlaps in the names of several characters, I have decided to make a list with the names I plan to use in the game, so if you use these names for renameable characters (Martha, Emma, Norah, Erika, Daphne and Mark (MC)), you should know that there will be a character with that same name in a future update:

Female Names: Scarlett, Saira, Eileen, Farren, Sophie, Maddi...

Planned Release Schedule

Although I have proven to be overly optimistic with the publication dates, I want to share with you the next planned release dates.

We are not idle while waiting for our proofreader to deliver the corrected Chapter 0 and Update 1, and here is the schedule for the next updates, as well as the current status.

The image is at 7680x4320 resolution so you can zoom in and see the teasers ...

Update 1 Status

The update has been ready for days pending the delivery of the corrections by our native proofreader. As he is working altruistically, we cannot demand more effort from him than he is already doing, so any delay is exclusively my fault and I can only have words of gratitude for his work. I have just spoken to him and he has told me that he should have the corrections ready by the end of the wee...

Episode 2 beta release

Hello once again,

We have ready the Episode 2 beta. We expect to release the definitive version on 30th as planned (+/- some days depending on tier).

Our native proofreader has the beta right now to correct my lacking skills in English, and we will re-render some of the images, as I'm not happy with the result.

We want to share this beta with you as a token of gratitude for yo...

Hotfix v.0.1.1

We've been working hard these last days to bring you a hotfix to solve an issue some players have complained about:

Martha's name doesn't appear in certain circumstances when she speaks

We also have taken this opportunity to proofread once again the whole release, and we have corrected a lot of inconsistencies, mismatches, unnatural sentences, and punctuation errors. Also, we have c...
