Hello, everyone!
This week we've been focused on dialogue and going over a couple of scenes for quality control. Rob kind of sucks at typing sometimes so the characters end up with the wrong name tags from time to time.
A couple of these have ended up in the released versions but were thankfully reported quickly by eagle-eyed players! Often it's a simple fumble like Jenni speaking instead of Player, Bree and Sophie getting mixed up, or simply no name tag at all. Luckily, these are very easy mistakes to fix.
Progress was also made on new scenes and creating new renders. Hardly any render mistakes (so far) aside from minor pokethroughs.
Lately we've been working with a lot of different outfits for the girls. There will be a small feature which we've been planning for some time and plan to implement in this update. It's a gallery/bio with info about your choices, the girls' outfits and more! We've also been designing an in-game render set for one of the main girls.
And while we're on the topic of clothes, what's your favorite outfit in the game?

Weekly summary:
  • 95⅗ renders made
  • Coding laptop features
  • Dialogue fixes
  • Proofreading
  • Switching some b's and s's

Other news

Mia's swimsuit poll is up! Option #4 with the red swimsuit is a strong favorite across all tiers this time around. Perhaps warmer tones suit her well?

Best Girl 2024

The poll for the best girl of 2024 is also running, and will continue running for a couple of weeks. All in all it's quite balanced. Bree has managed to stay in the lead after being tied with Sophie for a while—but will she win for the second year in a row?

Part of me wishes I never discovered this game because the frustration of waiting for Bree and Sophie scenes is going to drive me completely fucking nuts. Devs almost did too good a job making the characters.

Actually true as long as no girl has any new scenes at all.
Except for Mia of course but she doesn't count. :HideThePain:

Developer logic: Apparently Mia is still the least voted girl, we should focus on her again in version 0.7, that will make people love her. Bree and Sophie are loved so I remove their shower scenes from the render queue. :cry:
Click to expand...
So what do you suggest? Only focus on the most popular girls and neglect less popular?
If they will start neglecting Mia's content - what was the point of making her a LI?
Also, even though Mia is less popular - she still has her fan-base - it's 14% out of 3500+ voters. I am, for once, one of them.

Render count update based on numbers from the weekly reports:

0.7 Status Update #13
Current total renders: 975 (+95)
Weekly average: 75.00 (+1.67)
Rolling 4-week average: 88.00 (+2.50)

I wonder when they're planning to release the update. Most of the games releases each update with 800-1200renders. It's 1k renders already

Unfortunately, we dont have a progress bar like last time

Imo it's useless to release anything below 3k renders with this game. It's not a "half-backed" avn who do whole convos with 2 renders. 1k renders will feel really fucking short here, like last update. Anyway i hope we don't see the update before at the very least 6 more months ^^ ( edit: they will reach 3k renders at this pace in exactly 6 months)

imo 2k should be fine. bcz most ppl are happy with short update in short time(3-4 months). And devs also income much more compared to longer one.

But from my pov, 3k is fine. I dont mind really. Problem is ppl will be crazy again when they get to wait something like 9 months. Though I can't remember how many render last update had

Also, I think u miscalculated. it's been 3months since release. which means for 3k render it might be again something like 9months of waiting.

I wouldn't focus too much on the pace of rendering so far as there's much more involved than just that, of course. However, if using that, the rolling 4-week average is probably more reliable. The first three weeks had 31, 46, and 61 renders listed in the update posts, whereas every week since has been 75 (twice) or above. Even if you just exclude those first three weeks as anomalies, the weekly average is almost 10 renders higher than the average if you count them (83.7 compared to 75).

As a player my suggestion would be not to give 3 sexual scenes to Mia while the other 4 LIs don't have any, I understand that she's known the MC for a longer time but this is a visual novel and our protagonist has the golden dick, that makes every pretty woman who approaches him fall in love with it.

If you only release sexual scenes with Mia without giving the same kind of content to the rest, the amount of Mia memes increases, I don't want her to be deleted or tied to a chair forcing her to watch as MC fucks Sophie like others want, I just want balance.
Just imagine the amount of memes that will appear if in version 0.7 the only sexual scene among the 5 LIs is Mia again, in the pool while they are alone. People who don't like Mia will be even more upset.

Now if I have to put myself as a developer, I would do the same as they do, in all games the most loved characters are the ones that take the longest to have their scenes, it's a business strategy.

Sorry for non-native English

this dev is best ever, and this game rocks.
i particularly adore toaster-chick she is so hot! :love:
i hope there will be much more scenes with her in the future, even if that means much longer developing cycles.
she deserves all love she can get..and more!
also hope there will be some polis regarding her outfits, that would be hot and very usefuly too.

anyway, eagerly waiting for new news about this fantastic game and ofc about the best chick ever!

p.s.
for the mods: if you delete this polite and fully on topic comment because of the "reasons", please be polite to sign the notification as well. so we can go further from there.
thanks.

Maths are are mkey. :p

No but really i just did 90(renders a week) x 24 (weeks in 6 months) = 2160 (+our already 900 something).

Ofc it dosn't really mean anything it's just for a general approximation, kinda.

Yes i purposefully omitted the time to make animations and other random time variables lmao i don't want to scare people away by dropping a fat " come back in 1 year bruh"


Anyway if they don't want to upset peoples/players again with an update extremely short, i really don't feel like they have a choice but to go over 3 k.

I haven't dug back through the prior release render counts by week, but my supposition is that the first weeks were spent getting new assets ready as well as any new sets lit and materials generated, and figuring out how to get them to work in the scene (new clothes are apparently a big problem until they get rigged correctly), so that would account for the lower early numbers. Once they have worked out the technical issues they can more fully populate the render queues.
