Progress Update | 20/05/2024


Hello there you wonderful and amazing people!

Another week, another progress update!

There are some things I learned last week regarding my case, but nothing I can freely share publicily yet. Let's just say that a certain person investigating my stuff didn't find anything crypto related, but is now taking a look at my games. That's all I can say because you amazing people are not the only ones reading my posts. As you can imagine, I'm not worried at all because everything is public and legal anyway.

Okay, let's talk about the games!

I'm currently around 50 or 55% done with the renders for the second prequel beta, which means a release on the weekend might be possible. I'm getting them done faster than I thought because I had a lot of scenes already prepared, where I can replace the characters with different clothes and continue there. Like I said a few times already, this day will be as long as the first one and will end with a lewd scene in the night which is going to be hilarious. I pointed this out quite a few times now but I really feel like having the MC not be as experienced as he is in the main game really can make for some funny dialogues. It's very different compared to MNF as well, like I said, so having him AND the girl be totally inexperienced might remind some of you wholesome people about your first time being intimate with someone. At least it did for me. I've already prepared some stuff for the third prequel beta which might be a release candidate, I'm not 100% sure yet, because I feel like I want to expand more on the prequel but also don't want you guys to wait that much longer to give it a play. I can work on it like I did for the main game after all, at least as long as I dont have my assets back. What do you guys think? If you played the sequel beta already, don't hesitate to share your feedback with me regarding that by the way. Todays render shows Amelie and Jackie at the university. I think a lot of you are going to appreciate how fast Amelie ( And Rei ) will become part of the "circle" that is Sabrina, Lea, Jackie and the MC, who know each other since they were children. Especially Rei will be welcomed with very open arms and she appreciates it more than she shows initially - something she will tell the MC. This day is actually full of emotions as well, probably making you worry initially that you messed up with a decision but don't worry - I'm sticking to my principle where the top answer is the right answer. Trust me when I say everything will work out!

While the renders were rendering I also worked on Chapter 4 some more. My mood was a little dampened because it has been almost exactly a year since Chapter 3 released, probably the best game update I released so far. Not being able to continue on it right away and release something that might be even better really put a dent in my overall more positive mood lately, but I'm recovering from it. I'm still really enjoying the fact that I can integrate Anna way better into events now, even if she is going to be a little immobile for some of them. I also planned some interesting things with Sarah which might lead to a relaxing time in the Sauna with her, so she can blend out what happened before and just enjoy being fully herself again around the MC. His behavior in general will be way more confident now, which is a result of him having his memories back. There is not going to be much hesitation anymore when he re-lives some of his memories ( one of them even includes a prequel girl ). I feel like him and Anna are going to talk a lot about their past together because it's something the MC was completely missing these last few (ingame) weeks. This will also give you some more insight on the MC even if you are not going to play the prequel!

And I feel like thats it for now. Tomorrow might be the day where the four suspects will be sentenced already so I can close that chapter once and for all ( if not then there is going to be only one more day for it ). After that it's the waiting game for certain things that are already in motion, but I'm not worried too much. The main suspect will most likely stay in Thailand but will hopefully get caught with the international arrest warrant. He did some terrible shit besides the robbery, things that I don't even want to speak about because they are so awful. I will update you guys once I hear anything I can freely share. Stay awesome and thanks for the support, as always!

If they had a search warrant to search for one thing I am not sure it's legal for them to expand the search into other areas.  (But I'm not a lawyer, so don't take legal advice from me.) That is essentially fishing. But that doesn't mean they don't try. And many people have gotten in trouble for things that are perfectly legal.

Don't feel bad for the update delay. We're all with you. And when you release 1.0 on GOG and Steam, it will become all worthwhile, because I think you'll have a huge hit on your hands!
