Small update: Cutting Chapter 31
Added 2024-12-28 08:04:57 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
I'm posting this small impromptu update today to talk about Chapter 31. I've been hard at work these last few days (as hard as I could, considering the date) working on Chapter 31. The idea was to follow Ashley on a shopping spree involving a lot of lingerie.
The issue is that I was unable to make that idea into a fun and interesting chapter. I tried a few different ways to approach it, and always ended up with something that's, let's be honest here, absolutely shitty.
So, I've made the hard decision to cut this chapter. If I had stubbornly tried to keep working on it, I would have ended with a chapter that simply sucked (and not in the way we like), didn't make the story progress in any way, and prevented this idea to ever being used in the future.
In consequence, Chapter 31 will not be part of update 0.15. This version will only contain Chapter 30, and the rework of Chapter 27.
While I know this is disappointing, my goal is to put the few ideas of Chapter 31 that worked into Chapter 32, which was already planned to be quite huge, and to divide it into 2 chapters, both being part of version 0.16, making up a large story happening over a single day (the way Chapters 21 and 22 acted, with the night at The Eclipse).
I hope that will enable me to make this story better in the long run.
I may use the shopping trip as part of future content, maybe as a Vignette, if I can find a way to make it good enough.
As a meagre compensation, here are the first Ashley pictures I had planned to use in Chapter 31. Those will be put in The Vault™, and may get used later. I'm particularly fond of the last one.
I hope you will pardon me for these last minute changes, and keep believing in the game despite those.
See you on Tuesday for version 0.15, and later for updates on this new content, that I will start working on right after 0.15 is done!

I am loving the game and also love the direction you are taking with adding Ashley and Tara as I think this adds more verity and a tease of whats to come with them, and I love the fact that you get the odd teasing message from them, the only thing your missing is Laura being creampied for the first time you talked about in the first couple of chapters, but it hasnt happened yet we know she loves it in her mouth, but there are other holes to fill and am sure a lot of us out there who support you want to see that happen or have the chose for it to happen.

2025-01-03 09:47:21 +0000 UTCYup! There's so much more (hopefully) to be seen with Laura (-> Post from Alek). Its still HER Netorase Phone (although Ashley and Tara may use it, too, from time to time).

2024-12-30 23:12:39 +0000 UTCI enjoy the Ashley and Tara teasing and pics and stuff but I also would prefer it to be more Laura focused

2024-12-30 18:18:27 +0000 UTCI'm trying to be as honest as I can on my capacity to deliver, but remember than 6 months ago, I had never shipped/maintained a game. I'm still a newbie, encountering difficulties I never thought about. I'm doing my best.

2024-12-30 13:14:02 +0000 UTCHey Merry Christmas and happy new Year to you all ! I'm gonna be blunt as i absolutely love your game (the only one i am supporting on patreon). Since the last 3 updates you could not keep your goals so either be more honest on your capacity or deliver :D . I do not know if it is a problem of inspiration or workload and while you owe us nothing i 'm a bit sadden because i truly love your game ^^. We go from 3 chapters per update to 2 or 1 and half well not even that as it is a "vignette". That being said it still is one my fav game so Keep up the "almost" good work =) Also could you refocus on Laura and MC (still waiting for : anal, creampie, threesome/gangbang, stranger sex in public places, at work with a colleague/boss, all that while they still dig the shit ou of each other ! I mean there are tons of ideas for the main protagonists before developing ashley and Tara).

2024-12-29 23:09:34 +0000 UTCWhile i love Tara (favorite, way above ashley) this isn't a Tara game is it ? Lots of ashely and tara content thoses last updates.

2024-12-29 22:55:14 +0000 UTCIs there any way to have duplicate protection if a not yet seen interlude is available by the point in the story you are in? That would help experience a lot of different interludes in a run and naturally unlock new ones while having context. As little context as there is in some interludes it still feels way better than getting just the picture in Pop It.

2024-12-29 12:52:20 +0000 UTCEverything you’ve done so far has been golden, so we trust your judgment in what is good and bad. I do like spin off content but yeah looking forward to the next update!

2024-12-28 21:30:37 +0000 UTCYou've been one of the most consistent and communicative creators I've followed on here. Sometimes, things don't work out, and that's part of the creative process. I appreciate you for letting us know what's going on, and I look forward to seeing what the next update looks like!

2024-12-28 19:38:36 +0000 UTCWell, this is for the best you didn't make it. Shopping and lingerie is nothing original and such a cliché used by everybody, so I am sure after a little holiday break you'll come up with better ideas. Happy New Year and Happy Holidays!

2024-12-28 13:22:46 +0000 UTCPop It will be disabled in 0.15 for various issues, and may not coming back. I don't like the way it gives you pictures without a story reason. I'll try to have something diegetic instead.

2024-12-28 12:51:18 +0000 UTCI know that's maybe annoying but.... I still only want one thing, replacement for pop it for android and story wise I leave it to you even though I have plenty of things that I would love to see in game I trust in your ideas and process

2024-12-28 08:10:52 +0000 UTChonestly i really like your transparency with a lot of these things. i supported quite a lot of different creators over the year and youre one of the few that actually communicates whats going on, and your work is genuinely amazing. so dont stress yourself in any way, take your time and do work at whatever pace is necessary to make something good. and even though its a bit late, merry christmas, and enjoy the holidays!
