Hey Homies,
I'm sorry, but I had to skip the 4Ks for now. I wanted multiple poses with the Silver and Gold versions, so even these 6 renders took much longer than I'd hoped (4 renders are in the Gold tier version of this post!)
HOWEVER... If I have time, I want to let some of the Gold-tier 4Ks run overnight sometime this week.
If you want to see the trans version of Olivia, you'll have to check out the NSFW post!
I'm not going to waste time with a bunch of text so I hope you all enjoy! Much love! JB

Hey Homies,
I have a couple of posts planned before this, but I'll be throwing up a pin-up post later this week and I knew that a quick poll could help me decide who would be the model.
As usual, I'll make regular SFW and NSFW versions of the renders...
HOWEVER... Simply because it sounded like something fun to do... I'll also make a trans version of the post in the attachments!
Have you ever wondered what your favorite character would look like if I had made the entire cast transgendered? Well, now's your first chance to find out!
I'm keeping the available options to: -Already romanceable characters -Characters that don't already have Trans versions
Again, everyone who isn't interested in this will still get the female version of the renders, so there's no need to worry. I don't give subs enough variety content and this seemed like a fun way to provide it.
I hope this sounds as fun to everyone else as it does to me. Much love JB
Please note: -The poll is up until Friday at 11:59pm EST. -Multiple choices are enabled. -The resulting post will be posted This weekend. -Votes will be combined with Substar poll.
It's been another good week, and the end of CH4 is finally in sight!
By my count, I have around 7-10 animations left (give or take depending on how the scenes flow in final testing). This half of the chapter is a little more action and story-centered. Also, there aren't any variety scenes, so the animation numbers will seem lower when all is said and done.
As for the renders, I can't imagine needing more than another 50ish renders before the final scene is done. It's a bit of a guesstimate, but I can't imagine it being far off from that. Of course, the final testing/coding/sound design is after that, and I may find some more holes that need patching.
The missing section I found last week has been filled and, apart from a handful of lines, the CH4 script is practically finished!
We're almost there! I still have a fair amount of testing/coding/sound design to perfect once all the puzzle pieces have finished rendering. But if all goes well, the CH4 Full Release is just a stone's throw away!
I'm going hard on subscriber posts this week to make up for the missed posts last week. Keep an eye out for those, and I'm sorry for missing them again.
I hope you all have another good week! Much love! JB

Hey homies,
Here's another little Silver-tier teaser for S10.
This is on Cordelia's path, so if that isn't something you intend to pursue with Cordelia, or it isn't something you want to be spoiled, then stop scrolling now.
Everything is SFW so don't get too excited, but I wanted to share another small preview of a tender moment between you and Cordelia.
I'm going to try to get another post out tonight, but I'm struggling to keep my eyes open right now.
So if my coffee doesn't keep me awake, and I'm unable to get another post out, I'll be doing extra posts next week to compensate!
Alrighty, hope this is enough text to hide the teasers.
This was a good week IMO! I'm going to give you the abridged version of the report because it's too hot and I don't feel like typing out everything I've done behind the scenes this week.
-Knocked out 2 animations -I have 2 more animations (mostly) ready to render -Added Subscribestar button to game menus -Fixed an ongoing texture issue with MC and had to do a minor reshoot -Found a missing section in S10 and started filling it in
Also, I've added the option to save 15% by paying for a full-year subscription on Patreon. If that's something that interests you, then that option is now available. (Will be looking into this for Substar as well, if it's available)
I really wish that I had some crazy numbers to report, but for whatever reason, things have been getting more difficult as the chapter gets closer to finishing. Maybe it's just the heat, or maybe it's like I'm running a marathon, and I've just started to putter out as I approach the finish line. I don't know, but I promise I'm trying! I genuinely hate myself every time I write these reports and don't have something monumental to report.
Well, I'm yapping now, so I'll leave it here! Much Love! JB
I want to start by saying that I'm already planning to rework and re-release Miranda's character sheet before releasing this next one. I greatly appreciated all the feedback on that post and I've taken a lot of those comments to heart. I plan to improve and condense the information while either adding more poses or releasing a few variants for people to choose from. Everything should be a lot cleaner and easier to read, and hopefully, it won't need much more work before the next character sheets start rolling out.
Although, I may forgo the 4k quality until I've figured everything out. Probably something I should have done to begin with...
Just like last time, I'm not putting a specific release date on anything as I know I will fail to meet whatever date I set for myself.
Much love! JB
Please note: -The poll is up until AFTER Miranda's character sheet is re-released. -Multiple choices are enabled. -The resulting post will be posted whenever it's ready -Votes will be combined with Substar poll
Sorry for the late report! Apparently, I took a several-hour-long nap after getting home from work and I don't even remember laying down. I guess I was either just that tired or the heat's been getting to me.
Maybe it's just because I'm still groggy after waking up, but I don't think there's much to report this week. The renders are going much faster, despite appearances, I just haven't had as much time and energy this week. Maybe the heat has been taking more out of me, I don't know...
I'm still close to being able to give a decent estimate on the release date, but I'm not quite comfortable enough to do that just yet. Especially knowing how I tend to miss small sections throughout the game that eat up a lot of time after announcing a release. I want to make sure I know exactly what needs to be done before giving you all a date.
I'm sure I'll think of something else later, but I guess that's all for this week. Much love! JB

Cordelia and MC take a little detour on their way home to go see a fantastic view.
Hey Homies,
Just popping on to drop some new teasers.
As usual, I'm hiding them under all this text so people who don't want to see any teasers can avoid having anything spoiled for them.
Included below are both variations of this scene, based on the decisions you make leading up to this. (The attachments labeled with a b are the non-romance version.)
It's nothing major, as you'll see, but I still wanted people to have the option.
It was a long and stressful week, but I've finally made it through the damn pub scene! Expectations were tempered and corners were cut, but it was all in the name of progress and I think everything still turned out great. There's still some editing to finish on those renders and there are a few gaps in the scene that I've already found, but it's safe to say that at least 99% of that scene is now complete! Thank the Goddess...
Admittedly, the numbers aren't as high as I wanted them to be, but between my day job, trying to catch up on subscriber posts, I felt really burnt out and took a few nights off. Still, I'm excited to get started on the next section. I've only done a handful of renders, but I remade this scene and now the renders have been finishing in mere minutes rather than hour(s).
I'm tempted to speculate on an approximate release date, but I'm not quite comfortable throwing anything out into the ether just yet, lest it comes to bite me in the ass later on. However, the release is definitely close on the horizon, and I'll probably be more comfortable announcing a loose estimate in the near future.
Happy belated May Fourth! As usual, I'm late to posting the holiday renders, like that's a big surprise, amiright? Anyway, I decided to include the render from last year since I loved Kaela's look so much and I wanted to explore this scene a little more. The problem is that I've also fallen in love with Sith Sabrina now!
As promised in previous posts, I'm making the holiday post available for all paying members. However, I'm going to leave the 4K versions at the silver tier membership. Silver members can expect another post later today with these renders in 4K quality. This will include the re-rendered 4K version of the image from last year (The first in this series of images).

Hey Homies,
As I mentioned, I took a different route for my first attempt at a character sheet. I guess since my game is about romantic connections and (attempting) not to objectify the people you care about, going with the standard height/weight/measurements stuff wasn't my first choice.
That being said, I certainly don't mind if that's what people would prefer going forward and that's why I'm attaching a poll to this post. I'll try to make the polls explanations as quick as possible so try to stick with me for a moment.
Originally, I planned to release the above character sheet with 2-3 different posses so that people had some options for desktop backgrounds, but the 4K's take me a while to render, so since this is just a beta (of sorts) for the character sheets, I only went with the one pose for now. Depending on how the poll below goes, I may re-release Miranda's character sheet at a later date.
Anyways, I'll be asking a few different questions and the answers for each question are in groups marked by 'Q#'.
Q1: Do you like the character sheet?
Q2: Should the height/weight/measurements be included?
Q3: What kind of alternate poses should be released for each character sheet?
Q3 reference: Character sheets will likely be released with one (or more) alternate pose(s) going forward. If not at the same time, then at least shortly thereafter. The question is what kind of alternate pose vibes do you prefer?
As usual, there are no wrong answers, so please be honest! Also, feel free to comment any suggestions, compliments, or complaints. I'm always down for some constructive criticism.
That's all folks! As usual, all the downloads are in the attachments below. Much love! JB
PS: since this is a poll and a render post combined, I'm counting this as 2 posts towards catching up on the missed subscriber content. Plz don't gimme any hassle lol
We are right on the cusp of getting past this damn tavern scene. By my last count, I have around 10 renders left and then I should be completely done with that section! Knowing me, I'll find some missing parts when I finally get a chance to properly test it, but at least for now, I'll be moving on to something much easier to handle.
In other news, I'm giving myself a deadline for the Miranda Character Sheet. It will be out this week! If I'm being honest, I went a little extra with it and looking back, I probably put way too much work into it. Long story short, I let some of my personal interests take the lead on this instead of what might be expected for this type of character sheet... You'll see what I mean when it's posted.
Depending on the reception to it, I may make a slightly more standardized character sheet going forward. We'll see...
Anywho... I hope you all have another great week. With any luck, I'll actually have some real numbers to show on the next report. Much love! JB

You take a little time out of your busy schedule to spend the afternoon with Lydia. Who knew she was such an adept rider...
Hey Homies,
The winner of the "little sister vibes" poll was Lydia. She's been giving me some major horse-girl vibes, so it only seemed appropriate that she would want to take MC out for a ride.
The other two little sisters will get their posts in good time so don't worry if you voted candidate didn't win this time.
I've included both the motion blurred and the clean version of the riding render. I think it looks better motion blurred, but it doesn't make an ideal desktop background in that state.
HD and 4K images are available in the attachments.

Hey Homies,
I realize this shouldn't count toward the posts that I promised, but I'm sorry, I need to cheat a little to catch up. I didn't have time to get this done last month so I decided to finally run the 4K version overnight. Not that many people asked for it, but I did it regardless.
You didn't know it at the time, but the thought of Ariana watching while you and Olivia had some fun is going to be hard to forget. Hey homi
You didn't know it at the time, but the thought of Ariana watching while you and Olivia had some fun is going to be hard to forget.
Hey homies,
I wanted to do a little behind-the-scenes for one of the game's iconic scenes. A little bit of a behind-the-scenes of the Olivia/MC bathroom scene from the perspective of the unexpected guest. This takes place during and immediately after that scene. I hope you enjoy the post!
As usual, all the downloads, including the 4K version of these images, are in the attachments below!
Once again, it's just been another week of slowly grinding out this damn scene. I'm sure a lot of you are getting frustrated and believe me, I'm right there with you! I'm getting so tired of this slow progress, but I promise that I'm getting it done as quickly as I can. My best guess is that I have around 30-40 more very crowded renders (the most crowded ones yet) before I can move on to the easier section at the end of the scene.
The NSFW renders that were supposed to be up last night will instead be posted tomorrow morning (in 4k). Totally my bad! I guess I was so tired that I fell asleep on the couch after dinner. Anyways, just to tease it a little... The post will be a little behind-the-scenes with Ariana and will take place during/after a particular moment in one of the previous chapters. One of the renders is finished and the other will be left overnight, so barring some extreme render error, the post should be up in the morning.
I still plan on releasing extra subscriber content to catch up on the stuff that I missed the week before. So you'll either get 4 posts this week, or 3 posts this week and next week as well.
Okay, I'm done. Have another great week everyone! Much love! JB

Hey Homies,
This is kind of a random poll, but I wanted to do something a little more wholesome this time around. The winner of this poll will get a SFW 'brother-sister hangout' post with the MC. I haven't decided on the specifics of the scene yet, but the poll winner will help me decide what the actual scene will be. The follow-up post will be posted sometime next week.
Also, I still plan to post another unrelated (NSFW) subscriber post tomorrow to make up for the lack of content last week so make sure to check back tomorrow night for that.
That's all! Much love! JB
Please note: -The names are in order. (Top to bottom names = Left to right images) -The poll is up until Tuesday at midnight and the SFW follow-up post will be next week. -Multiple choices are disabled. -Poll results will be combined with those from SubscribeStar

Hey Homies,
As I'm nearly finished working out a character sheet layout that I like, I was starting to wonder who deserves to get the very first one!
It makes sense to me that the first one would be the MC, but making assumptions like that isn't very fun. So instead, we're going to vote on who gets the first character sheet! MC might still be second or third because it just makes sense to me to have him as a point of reference for the rest, but it's not exactly essential, so a vote it is!
Just a heads up that the follow-up post might not be ready this week, but it will be out before long. So keep your eyes peeled because it will be soon, but don't get mad if you don't see it this week.
That's all, Much love! JB

Apologies for the lack of subscriber content, but I've been struggling with a few things this past week. Most notable was an injury that made my work week a bit of a nightmare. I won't go into details since it's nothing too serious, it was mostly just painful and annoying. I'll be releasing extra subscriber content over the next couple of weeks to compensate for it!
As for the game's progress, I wish that I had more to report, but it's just been another week of the same thing. I'm getting through as many renders as my poor overheated computer can manage. Sadly, I'm at the point where there are so many people on screen that I need to make 3 to 4 passes just for a single image. I'm hoping to finish the bulk of these high-population images this coming week, and then the rest of the scene's progress will slowly start to speed back up as the numbers whittle back down.
Again, I'm sorry that progress seems like it's in slow motion right now. I'm trying to cut corners where I can, but also trying to avoid sacrificing too much quality while I do it.
It's just been another week of slowly pecking away at S10 whenever I could. Things may seem a little slow right now but I promise I'm trying my best! Just for clarification, S10 is essentially several different scenes that I've lumped together and labeled 'S10' for simplicity's sake on the progress reports (and because they all still take place at the same location, so why not...) So, if progress seems a little slower right now, that's part of the reason why.
Of the 3-4 "scenes" that comprise 'S10', two of them are completely finished, including their alternate paths, and I'm nearing completion on the third now. However, it's proving to be the slowest to progress because of all the characters required on-screen. I'm slowly getting through it, and despite having some of the most populated shots just on the horizon, as soon I'm finished with them, the last section of S10 will be a breeze by comparison.
There's definitely a reason I left these for last... I knew it was going to suck trying to slog my way through them, but it was inevitable. I'll do everything I can to try to speed up the process, but sometimes there's no other way than 'slow and steady'.
Hope you all have another great week! Much love! JB
Hey Homies,I meant to post this last night but I fell asleep waiting for it to finish.
Hey Homies,
I meant to post this last night but I fell asleep waiting for it to finish. I also meant to make the Miranda Solo image a 4K as well, but these were surprisingly difficult for my PC to render so I decided against it! However, if enough people request it in the comments then I may be convinced to let the render run overnight sometime.
Honestly, there isn't much to report this week. I'm grinding my way through the testing and coding while slowly rendering out S10. It's a slow process sometimes because of the size of the scene, but I'm getting it done one chunk at a time.
I've also spent a fair amount of time listening to a ton of music and SFX to layer into the game. Not much to say there, apart from that I found some really good stuff so far, and I hope it works out in the end.
I guess I won't be wasting your time with my ramblings this week. Hope you have a great one! Much love! JB
