Dev Diary, January 28th, 2022. (Patreon)

Open post this week and next week, as I can't hide any news about giveaways behind a paywall.

Progress
Nothing too exciting to report this week. I'm working my way through the render marathon that is chapter 8, so there's a good increase on both animation and story renders.

Numbers are now at 240 story renders and 2,554 animated frames.

I've finished up the first of the main endings, with all the variations connected to it, and I'm now working on girl number two.

Chapter 8, main event
The image at the top is from the main event which happens later on in the chapter, and will consist of three different versions depending on which girl you're with. The audience of the show consists of more than 100 original characters from other VN's, rendered directly from the authors of those VN's. I'm extremely happy that so many people chipped in, including people I admire, respect, and knew of, long before I even made my first render myself.

I hope this will be a nice event where you can actually distinguish the audience, and recognize characters you've seen in other VN's.

Giveaway
Next Friday I will open for the Cece figurines (yes, plural) and Leap of Faith Steam keys giveaway, so make sure you join my Discord server by then, as that's where the giveaway will be hosted (https://discord.gg/driftygames).

But how do I get Holly!?
Holly has some very special endings, which should take most of you by surprise. I've seen numerous requests on how to get her, so without further ado, here's the recipe:

Chapter 4:
1. Choose Lexi as li.
2. When you meet Holly for the first time choose 'I'm conflicted' or 'Haven't really looked at her like that'.

Chapter 5:
3. During the balcony conversation with Holly, look at all 9 screens at least once (don't count the starting screen, go back to it at least once - and you can look at her breasts three times to maximize score).
4. Include Holly and have threesome on the yacht (the cigarettes is not a requirement, they just affect the ending).
5. During the threesome 'Stroke Lexi and Holly's hand'.

Chapter 6:
6. During Prom, choose 'No regrets' when talking to Holly.

Chapter 7 should now give you a choice of Lexi/Holly - choose Holly.

Have a nice weekend, and stay classy San Diego.
