Dev Report #45 (March 7th, 2025)

any word on a update

Kelly Morgan

Still nothing

Zeus

No

Joe Gibson

Any update on discord?

Lordsnow22

Lol maybe 6-10 years at the rate it's been going and not many paths in the game just can choose to not date some girls

Lordsnow22

Just 1 quick question I was hoping to get answered: If there are so many different paths and different characters to interact with, when exactly are we going to see the end of this game?

No123

go back to the post from feb 12 should have a link there

Lordsnow22

Uhhh where can I find the game?

Louis

Here guys/gals I'll give ya my best guest as to when it will be ready (even though it was supposed to be ready 3 days ago now I think) March 20-28th and then the full ep 13 at the end of the month. But BD ya gotta hire someone to help you out it's been proven ya can't handle all the responsibility of the game development whatever you struggle with the most hire someone for that and to smack you when you think u can give a release date cuz buddy you always over promise and that adds to people's frustrations with you and promises unkept/ and when ya go silent

Lordsnow22

Man, shame you silenced the dissenters, I bet they have colorful opinions to share. My favorite was the guy pointing out each missed deadline, although his messages could reeeally drag on, cause ya know.. missed deadlines and such.. Alright later champ, I'll check back in a few months!

Captain

This is getting pretty tedious now... #soboredofthesameshitexcuses... Perhaps in future you just update us on how development is going and don't give any hard details on when you plan to release? I would much prefer to see a notification that says the updates are ready for download than the same old disappointing sob stories every post... #yawn 😴

matt bryer

I'm sorry guys, I ran into some issues with packaging after I got home yesterday. I was feeling really dizzy and I laid down to try and get it to go away but I ended up falling asleep and just recently woke up. Backing away from the estimates right now but things will be up as soon as I have the issue handled and it shouldn't be very long. I'm pretty sure I know what it is.

Braindrop

I stayed up really late finishing the remaining render work, got a few hours of sleep and I have an appt I have to go to at 2:15. So the update should be up sometime later tonight.

Braindrop

I'm really looking forward to it

Fredrik

Alright, the last few Jasmine renders are taking a little longer than I want them to. I'm trying not to rush to avoid unnecessary mistakes so I'm leaning towards just uploading all of it together tomorrow. I may still post the Jasmine scene tonight but it depends on how tired I am after finishing.

Braindrop

I am honestly surprised by this turn of events.

tslojr

Had to re-render an animation twice due to clipping issues. Most likely scenario right now is that I'll have the Jasmine scene uploaded later in the evening today (EST) and then the flight home scene uploaded overnight / in the morning tomorrow.

Braindrop

mate I'm glad you are slowly learning from your mistakes but I would recommend that if something like this happens in the future just post here and let people know. If you give people a reason why there's a delay it looks a lot more genuine than a post like this days after the fact. can't wait for the update, hope everything goes smoothly

KealisHîr

looking forward to update

Carl Leodoro

i agree as long as we get the uypdats im happy loving the game

Kelly Morgan

I think your putting too much effort into trying to catch up. You apologized for the past and said that those life issues were sort over with so instead just stop trying to catch up and just get stuff done that's within your control. I also get the feeling you trying to appease to everyone and ease whatever guilt you have going is causing more harm to everyone. Imo you should just forget trying to catch up and just continue where you left off. Also stop putting out dates cuz all this false hope isnt helping anyone. No one is forcing you put yourself in a situation where you have to write essay apologies, I just wanna enjoy your game man it is not that deep.

Taz

The game is so fucking good, don't let those hate comments get to you

believinn

BD, I think that this is one of the best AVN's I have ever had the privilege to play. The artwork is top notch, the animations are smooth, the story is engaging, and the girls models are spectacular! It is true, many of us are eagerly awaiting the rest of the update, and very much want it as soon as possible! I speak for myself in the next part here. I fully understand that life has a tendency to get in the way of everything. Doing a passion project can be both a blessing and a curse. I have been in the head space you now inhabit, and it is damn near impossible to pull yourself out of that place unless you can focus on the immediate goals. Its small steps, small goals, that start into bigger and better things. My suggestions are multi-parted. 1) Stop beating yourself up over this. Shit happens. Life happens. 2) Focus on smaller, but more frequent updates. A single scene, one story part, one or two girls at a time. It will make things easier in the long run. Don't try and do an entire chapter in one update, instead do a scene a month. It gives you plenty of time to finish it, and get them out faster. It also allows you time to make changes if necessary. 3) Take care of yourself, both mentally and physically. Stress is the silent killer, and is that voice in the back of your head that keeps making you want to change what you already have ready to go. All of this is far easier said then done, and anyone who has done a passion project knows this. Next, I wish to add that I am happy to support you with this because I truly do enjoy this project. I commend you for pausing the pledges for over 5 months. I have not come across another creator who has done this. I am positive others have, I just have not dealt with them. You offered full refunds to those that asked for it with no question. A large portion of the supporters here (at least from the comments I have read) are happy to support you as well. They also enjoy this project. Please try and communicate with us more often. Show what you are working on (teaser pics, animations, ect.) and that you are actively working on something. that does go a long way in building and keeping supporter confidence. For the ones that bitch and moan, call you a scammer and shit like that, Fuck them. Most of them are not even supporting any creators, and just want to make someone else's life as miserable as theirs is. We, the community that supports you, greatly enjoy this project, and eagerly want more! smaller and more frequent updates will keep us hooked! well, me hooked anyway! Lastly, make sure to take care of yourself. Do what you can, Fix what you can, and finish what you can! I am here for the long haul, and will support you as long as i am able. Again, smaller and more frequent updates keep us happy!! Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Tempest Thales

totally agree with you there No123 with the taking care of yourself part very well put

treasure whitney

glad that you have done whatever you need to make your life easier BD love the work you have done and will wait patiently for your update as i have done for the last years LOVE THE GAME as a side note i sooooooooooooo wish to see more pregnancies too

treasure whitney

If you need computer time to run renders let me know. I just have to grab the right tools and I will have computer time to assist you.

Tim Jameson

For my own mental health, I've blocked a number of people that are only ever around to complain and sling mud. I know I'm the cause of their frustration and that's why I've been very relaxed when it comes to moderating the comments but it reaches a point. Just a reminder that constructive criticism is always welcome but try and keep it constructive. Thank you, I will let you guys know when things are uploading sometime this weekend.

Braindrop

Your can reach to a moderator and they will give a formal complaint form. I spoke with one a while back and they said it sounded wrong what he keeps doing. I had decided to hold off because he had finally got past the problem scene(Daliah) but I think I will do so now since it's the same old thing and despite trying to reach out in private messages civilly to find out what's going on he just ignores the messages.

Ichigo Kurosaki

If I had an employee who made as many excuses for not getting their work done as you do, I would have fired him a long time ago. Hell, this is the kind of stuff DOGE is looking for in our government.

sethw409

that is true but are we all getting refunds for every penny we have paid over the past couple years? any company that took money and not delivered the product would be forced to pay back all its backers. nobody here is getting there money back so they are well within there rights to voice anger and disapointment

Martyn Thomson

Yet ANOTHER sorry I fucked up again, oops post not worth either the effort to make or read. How many more months are you going to milk a partial of a partial update?

Adam

I've kept quiet for a long time but man for real you've got to relinquish some control over this and get some help. Your going to send yourself to an early grave with all this stress. I don't know if it's all lies or partial truth with lies or all truth but you can't keep going like this either way. Find a way to get some help so that you can do this thing you enjoy but at the same time be successful and actually deliver content and make some money you don't feel guilty over.

They also have the right to stop paying for something that doesn't get delivered.

Nic

Very true although at this point I'd rather him just admit he hasn't even finished the 300 renders or whatever and the work on ep 14 was a lie and would respect him more just to own up to the fact that no work has even been done on 14 yet

Lordsnow22

If it means anything, I think you're doing good. While it certainly can be frustrating for supporters to not get their promised release date, I can all the more understand that life can suck sometimes, so don't feel too alone out there. Of course you should never let that become your excuse, as it will cause a lot of harm. On your side that is. It's important to take care of one's mental health, so whatever issues you're facing, I hope you overcome them. Health before wealth, thank you for the heads up.💯

No123

It's comical at this point

Jeebus McFunk

Yea I know lol just like how I know even though he said ep 14 is mostly done xD but I want him to explain that like how does it go to it's just ready to upload to delayed another week like what?

Lordsnow22

@Rudy theres always an excuse with him nothing he says can be trusted anymore

Aj Whitacre

man, how can someone be this messed up. bro heart to heart this is your job not a hobby if you would be in a company as an employee you would be fired atleats 3 times already with this work ethic. also maybe ask the "evil modder" to help you with certain characters we really want that man

sandro müller

I am waiting for the excuse that my dog got the cat pregnant

Rudy M Long

People have the right to vent there frustration especially when they are paying for something that doesn't get delivered

Martyn Thomson

How does it go from releasing in a few hours to oopsie I'll fix it in the morning to life finds a way....to delay it another week:/

Lordsnow22

Aj Whitacre

Same. I love this game so far. I found it while randomly searching for renpy games and I'm so glad I did. Hell I don't even care that it's been held back by life,to me it's worth the wait

TheGentleman
