Update on the current mess Part 2

The last post I made regarding my current situation has been made during the 3rd of December 2023.. Oof that is-.. a lot of time-.. almost 5 months without any info about me nor the project, I feel really bad because of it, no matter how many times you guys support me, however, I really couldn't make another post, it would've been me apologizing and complaining about everything that has happened so far with no new news etc.
I promised that I would attempt to work on the game whenever I could but all I could do was trying to keep myself trained with Koikatsu so that I don't lose the practice I've made with my co-developer last summer.

I would advise to look for the * to skip to the good stuff if you don't wanna hear me yapping about things.

So let's cut to the chase, why is there so much trouble getting progress? I think this should be the main question I would ask myself if I was one of you people, waiting for a new update to come out but not much progress seems to be made. First of all, I'm currently living with some people, two to be exact, they're constantly at home and they can't give me a room to do my own things since there's none, this house I'm living in isn't even supposed to bear more than two people in fact. Speaking of these two persons, they don't even know I'm working on-.. well you know =w='' a foot fetish eroge-.. And they will never know! Pff. So this makes things harder, since they're constantly at home and since I don't have my own room to do my stuff, I have to be quite stealthy since my screen is visible at all times, like-.. as I'm writing this, I'm sitting on a sofa, the same sofa I sleep in hahaha.
During the time where I couldn't do much however, I did start some quality games which I couldn't play before with my old pc, I felt bad doing so since all of you guys have been waiting so much.. But! Let's start with the good news, one by one, in escalating order.

While basically frozen with the game, again, I kept myself trained with both RPG Maker VX ACE and Koikatsu, both of which I learned new things with (obviously working on personal SFW stuff) talking about learning, the games I played gave me lots of ideas, so many that I could burst and overwork myself once I finally start working on the game again hahaha. Game balance, quality of life stuff, nice visual stuff and all of that has been blending in the blending machine that is my mind thinking about some ideas that would perfectly fit the game so much.
Want some examples?
- An animated sliding images scene at the start of the stage when you first see a new location;
- Better UI graphics that I will do myself;
- More usage of Alex's phone other than working for traps etc thanks to the ability to have multiple button shortcuts;
- Less obtainable random Orbs in excange of better chances of finding them (double or even triple) and repurposing where to find such missing Orbs (in later stages or maybe in some sort of black markets);
- Redesigning the whole "the earth has been wrapped around the Lust Energy Field" concept into a more sensical "some areas are getting mini Lust Energy Fields and must be stopped" giving Alex and Philla more of a reason to get in a specific place instead of just finding new Orbs in there, the search for Unique Orbs will still be on and there will be dedicated "finding Unique Orbs" driven stages, but I think the mini Lust Energy Fields idea would lead to great scenarios and even split paths where there might be two at the same time and you will decide which one to do first.

It's so fun to think about these already that I want to start right here and now, I'm even thinking about making a game intro or something at some point but aaaaaaahh! I'm just thinking about how to overwork myself in two easy steps! Pff. Anywho, this is all exciting and dandy but WHEN am I gonna be able to work on all of this?..
I really hope I'm not cursing myself now, I really do, because whenever I start saying that something is going well, a comically large cartoony piano falls on top of my head, however..

*
I found myself a job! Well-.. Not actually a job, it's more of a paid apprenticeship or something like that, I had to do a mess with documents and shit, however, I finally got it! Things are finally getting way better than before, I'm still homeless but maybe not for long! I'm gonna be realist-.. I feel like you all are gonna look down at Italy after I say this-.. the pay is-.. well-.. 700 euros-.. which is a similar sum in dollars, so yyyyeah-.. I don't know if I'm gonna be fine alone, my father told me he's gonna help me with home and stuff ok-.. but the apprenticeship only lasts 6 months and afterwards it's gonna be either joever or I'm gonna turn this into a proper job. I do have a backup plan, which I can't really tell you guys much about it, all you need to know is that I might be able to go back developing Take That Succubus!
I swear I'm dying to go back to it and I hope you guys are still looking for a new update, despite them not gonna be that much thrilling since I'm just gonna rework some ground stuff, probably the story if the mini Lust Energy Fields are gonna be real (plus I'm gonna definitely add a Sissy introduction), and well, of course the early stages are gonna get reworked in many ways.

I want to thank you all, even the ones who left, you still gave me support which is gonna carry me to the next day with a smile.
I truly hope this situation finally settles up and I can go back deserving that F95zone Developer title! Pfft.
Until next time!
