Added 2018-07-25 08:02:20 +0000 UTCHi, people.
I've been working hard on the next update of the game and I thought I could share few details with you.
- First of all, I made some changes to Jessica's model. I decreased the size of her breasts a bit. They kind of came bigger than I originally intended and how they looked on the base T-pose. I also changed the wet hair model. The new one is not only a better model to work with, but also I've seen the old one used in a lot of other games and I like to make my characters as unique as I can. One day I may even re-work those first images from the game (the bathroom scene and then the sex with Conner), but we're talking about 150 images, so it's not happening anytime soon.
- Yves' name is getting changed. I know it's a male's name and I had a little backstory about why it is that way, but my plan was to reveal it when Jessica becomes closer to her French colleague. But until that moment the choice just looks lame, so I'll change it. Right now I'm thinking about Eve or Elise.
- Some of you asked about what future content will there be and how the character relationships can develop. The truth is, I don't have a concrete, finished plot for the entire game. I have directions, event mapping, ideas and plans, but I mostly work on it as I go. So whatever ideas and preferences you have, keep sharing them with me.
Thank you all for playing my game and deciding to support me in this early stage. Much appreciated.

honestly, cleavage and how they look in tight clothing is like 95% of why i prefer larger ones in these games also

2018-08-01 21:03:03 +0000 UTCNo, it was not offensive at all. And even if it was, I would've appreciated it all the same. Any feedback is welcome.

2018-08-01 20:19:54 +0000 UTCHard to argue with "the cleavage", I do see your poibt though. I support your vision 100%, my comment about breast size was really more of a tired rant and quite beside the point, had no intent of influencing your creative decisions and hope it didn't come off as offensive. Concerning other female NPCs I always consider it a wise dea to have different body types and looks, personalities represented when possible, diversity should breed interest hopefully :) cheers mate

2018-08-01 19:03:52 +0000 UTCThanks for the support, mate. I have some female characters with smaller breasts, so hopefully there will be something for your taste as well. I personally have no preferences. I went for bigger size mostly because they make for a good looking cleavage :)

2018-08-01 18:06:13 +0000 UTCYou're off to an amazing start, well written and beautiful renders. Very much looking forward to exploring this story. Was super glad to hear that you decided to reduce the breastsize but honesty I can't really tell the difference. Personally I was hoping for small, natural, perky which would look amazing to compliment her well toned body, but alas I realize more/most apprieciate the larger, silicon-y look that you went for :/ nonetheless the game looks to be one of the greats thiscearly on, best of luck with your project. Cheers

2018-07-26 20:15:46 +0000 UTCYes, I've made the channel already. I just need to set it up properly. It should be ready by the end of the week.

2018-07-26 08:34:18 +0000 UTCOh, and 1 more idea not related to the game itself: have you considered starting a patreon discord? Because honestly, relying solely on the patreon site itself and it's pretty terrible interface for community interaction might prove to be a pain in the ass.

2018-07-26 02:53:00 +0000 UTCJust became a patron to say that I think it's a great start! I was surprised to see the amount of renders you had for that amount of story (and wouldn't mind if you actually had fewer images for the same amount of writing if it would speed up your production), and that the characters looked real and varied. Nice, realistic writing too which is a big reason why I decided to support the project. Finally, I'd just like to throw out that undercover journalism and a willingness to go beyond her normal moral boundaries to get a scoop can be a titillating combination for her to get into some sexy situations, so your plot description makes me hopeful for the future! Keep on the good work :)

2018-07-25 21:02:19 +0000 UTCpersonally i like what you laid out, with a potential good or bad girl route, i mean how desperate is she to get and keep the job and what lengths will she go to to achieve her aim? and not necessarily just with the other staff members! then there's the vigilante, will she unmask him to the world, the police and his enemies or will she keep his secret and help champion his cause? if she does cheat on him, will conner discover her cheating ways or will he be totally oblivious to it? there are quite a few ways this game can play out and you can always have good and bad ends for either route chosen.

2018-07-25 17:54:31 +0000 UTCAlso glad to see you're open to suggestions. We already talked so i'll just briefly reiterate that a 'dedicated cheating' path from the other discussion would be great. But i also get it if the story you want to tell eventually won't be able to accommodate for that. It's cool. On the other hand if you do find that it's workable and interesting as you progress in development, great! The other major suggestion i have is to reinforce that something i think you're probably already doing so far and planning to continue to do, is a good idea. Which is that when a game just goes from porn scene to porn scene to porn scene rapid fire, and makes little to no effort for story and characters and atmosphere, it can get a bit tedious. Spacing out the sexytimes with actually interesting content makes the whole thing more interesting and immersive. "A swords and sorcery story would be boring if it were all sword fights" as another dev i follow put it recently when this topic came up. I talk too much D: Keep up the good work.

2018-07-25 14:50:44 +0000 UTCYeah, i've seen that hair model a couple of times and also kinda hate it. The new one seems much better. I'm glad you're making an effort to avoid cookie cutter looks on your models.
bos
2018-07-25 14:50:06 +0000 UTCWell that's fantastic because like Bos I couldn't tell the difference haha
Cloud Strife
2018-07-25 12:53:33 +0000 UTCFirst of all i appreciate the changes of her model i think the smaller breast size will make her look more realistic and if the model looks different to the others i welcome that too. In my opinion you should focus on the main story and include some intimate options with the characters from it. Like the newspaper store guy, the guys from work or her neighbours. On the other hand you could make her visit the club again and include some things like dancing with other men etc

2018-07-25 12:50:11 +0000 UTCYes, the image with the new hair has a slightly smaller breasts. But it's just a little.

2018-07-25 12:45:37 +0000 UTCI always thought that Jessica was perfect:) perfect body, and the tan lines drive me crazy they're just so damn sexy
Cloud Strife
2018-07-25 12:38:19 +0000 UTCI was just going to ask. I can't notice any difference. From that angle at least. Which works for me since i didn't think the were too big before ๐
bos
2018-07-25 12:35:28 +0000 UTCDoes the new wet hair image above show Jessica with smaller breasts?
