Happy 420 Day! - News

Happy April 20th! 

That's whether or not you partake in the Mary Jane. I don't personally, but I do have a head cold which has me effectively stoned without needing cold medicine. It has me moving slow, but steady wins the race.

I wanted to take a moment to talk about the upcoming update!

Most of this is spoilers, so if you'd rather avoid those, I'll just say that it's coming along nicely and I hope to have the testing version up within the week with the final version by the end of the month.

Now, if spoilers don't scare you off...

What's missing from the previous update? We got to the cruise ship, Haley finished out huge, what else is there to add that could be taking so damn long?

Well, it really shouldn't be taking this long, and the reasons for that I've covered previously, but the majority of the new content is for the second epilogue. As is, it currently ends with Leah returning from Korea and a "to be continued" tag.

Because it's been a while, I'll mention that the Broken Watch Branch splits into three different potential epilogues, assuming you make it all the way to the end by avoiding traps like knocking up Ashley's mom or the neighbor or getting caught with the Big Tiddy Goth Girl.

The first epilogue is the shortest, and it consists of the girls putting in the work to exercise and keep themselves relatively in shape, needing large sports bras but generally slowing if not stopping their growth by keeping their calories under control. You get this ending if you don't convince Haley and/or Laura to scheme and plot to help convince the other girls to keep growing.

The second epilogue will take a new direction. When they start out making a significant income with their non-nude Onlyfans, it allows the crew to buy a large house and live comfortably. However, some suggest they could be making far more by embracing the sexiness of it all. This gives you a choice, whether to keep things centered on living a "fitness lifestyle" as Beth suggests or to go all-in.

The choice is yours, and it splits this epilogue in two directions. Both involve the camera, as the fitness option earns your house its own reality show, and the sexy option effectively turns you into the envy of dudes everywhere.

One of my goals with this epilogue is to show the girl's other desires along with what they'd want if they didn't end up all becoming tits with legs. They all have their own dreams, and we'll have the chance to better explore those in future endings.

I also tried to tease a few future storylines to give an idea of what to expect in the future. As long as this ending became, in the overall plot of good vs evil, this turned out to be the neutral ending. The disappearance of the watch meant we got to take a break from exploring the moral implications of being able to command and control the girls you meet.

Not only did it neutralize the MC's potential asshole tendencies, it also neutralized Laura's. It gave a calm before the storm when we continue the MC's journey on what he decides to do with his power.

For the third epilogue on the cruise ship, more has been added there as well. A lot of feedback you guys were giving is that it felt like it was missing something, and you were right. Originally, I'd had an extra scene for Leah's birthday party. It was mentioned, but I wanted to get the update out and decided I'd return to it later.

The scene became bigger and covered more territory as it went. Part of this was some of the great ideas in Fantasy1290's fanfiction. Obviously, I didn't have the time to go back and add a bunch of scenes (well, if I didn't have a shitty past few months I would have), but I was able to touch on some quick plot threads that had been skimmed over. I feel it makes the epilogue feel more like an ending, and I'm pretty happy with the result.

Once progress on the update got delayed, then delayed further, I had the usual urge of saying "alright, they're expecting more now, so I have to give them extra!" but I did my best to refrain in favor of finishing it sooner.

For example, I realized Rachel's content isn't optional, and it would be weird for someone either not on her path or who didn't like her character when she appears and starts chasing your nuts. But, although I started going back to fix this, I held myself back.

The warning at the beginning of the branch says the game assumes you've been hooking up with all the girls, and that's fine for now. I don't need to spend another two weeks making every girl's path in the branch optional, especially when no one has mentioned it once.

You guys deserve new content, so I've been doing my best to get it out quickly without letting it feel rushed. I'm really hoping it lands!

Almost all the new content will overlap with the previous update, so starting back where Leah leaves for Korea should be far enough, as I'll put a split between the two epilogues so you don't have to go back any further.

Alright, that's enough from me.

Thanks, everyone!
