Update

[Considering my silence, I have made this post a Public post.]

Hey guys, sorry about the silence. It's very difficult to manage my normal 9-5 when something is dropped on my lap. Unfortunately, this will happen unless this project ever allows me to work on it full time.

Also, I'm a piece of shit for going silent - but you guys know that by now. You also know that I am always working in the background, so thank you for your kind words and messages (even if I didn't respond!)

Thank you to all for your patience!

OKAY, HERE'S THE UPDATE:

• Full time work on Lois starts back up again during this weekend.

• Expect everything to go back to a normal posting schedule by Monday.

• I'm currently in the rendering/animation process. In other words, the reward H-Scene.

• Still looking for Voice Actors. I got ZERO responses from any posts that I've made on Reddit, Discord, or even here. This means I'm going to have to spend time looking elsewhere, or take a different approach altogether. If you have ANY insight into this, please reach out to me.

• Trying to push out the release THIS week.

• I am also in the middle of redesigning THE ENTIRE GAME LOOP. You will not see that in this update. I have been talking about adding a Relationship Manager for a while now (Here and Here) and have been working on one in the background. This management system will give you the opportunity to unlock Real-Time sexual interactions with the character:

  • For instance, achieving a "Flirty" Relationship Level will allow you the opportunity to unlock a "Handjob Perk". This would mean that you can tell that character to give you a Handjob whenever you feel like it. Whether you've approached her in her backyard or in a private setting.

  • Another example is the "Doggystyle 1" Perk. This would be a standing, doggystyle sexual interaction as opposed to "Doggystyle 2" Perk which would be a kneeling doggystyle sexual interaction.

WHY THE CHANGE IN GAME DESIGN?

• Currently, what takes most of my time when adding a character in the game are the animation renders. To get something that looks good takes time, along with actually sending the animation to be rendered.

• Allowing Sexual Interactions to be unlockable and playable in real-time means that I will have to make the animations only once, yet you'll have the ability to perform them with any character.

• You would still have animations, however I will push these as a final reward for completely leveling the relationship with that character to its maximum amount. Meaning I could add more characters in the beginning.

• Simply put, it would allow me to scale the game faster. A LOT faster.

CONCLUSION

• I am still here. Still developing. We WILL have a feature-complete game at some point.

• Trying to push out the next update this week.

• Future updates are going to be AWESOME. Pizza Delivery Job, Farming Job, Hacker Job, Real-Time Sex Interactions, Relationship Management, and more Player-NPC Interactions. Voice over work and an expanded Game World for exploration is also coming.

• Thank you. This is NOT possible without you.
