Status Report (Patreon)

Look at that fucking magnificent boob grab.

Kelly wound up with the least beach content out of the main three, so I decided to spruce up her scene a little more. I took commission #44 and recycled it into this shot, which of course is also animated. It's actually one of my favorite shots from the beach update now. Though there are a lot of ones I'm proud of, for all three of the main heroines.

Anyway, status report:

It has been a SUPER productive week. It's quite close! But it's not there yet.

I wanted to pull off a July release, I really did. I pushed myself a lot this week. But there's simply too much left to do for me to get it done in a day or even a few.

So let's talk about that. What remains, and what is done?

The beach scene: All text and all visuals are completely done, finally.

At long fucking last.

However, the audio is not done. I'm currently working on both music and sounds. Music will be a pain, because I'm composing a new track just for the beach stuff...but that's really the last hard thing I need to do.

There are, unfortunately, other things I also need to do.

As I've said a few times now, I still gotta do the Samantha stuff. I may push some of this work into the next update, since that's all about Samantha anyway. But I still need the framework in place.
There are some animations I'd like to revamp that I haven't revamped yet, but they should go pretty quick. There are also some earlier scenes I'd like to improve (for example, the Julie jogging scene. I'd like to put that jogging jiggle animation I made in there, but I'd like to try adding Flin in the background as well).
There are animations I still gotta export and plug in to the general sex scene stuff outside the beach update. This means that the random sex scenes will actually have a chance to contain some new imagery and animations, though most of that will be recycled in some form.
Also gotta update the gallery. Ugh. Doesn't take long, I just don't enjoy it lol.

If you're curious how much new content there is, the beach scene is...honestly very comparable to the camping scene in terms of length. It's actually slightly shorter, but if you're romancing all three heroines then it'll feel much longer because you can get all the sex scenes in one go. It's also generally a much higher quality sequence, packed with far more animations than any other event in the game. Not to mention, the animations themselves are a higher quality in most cases.

And while the beach scene is the bulk of the new stuff, there is a moderate bit of additional content beyond that, both retroactively and in the "second half of the game" framework.

I am promising an August release.

Between you 'n me, the new personal deadline I'm trying to hit is August 6th, because my last update was also released on the 6th (of October). That's just a day I'm picking in order to keep me motivated, I am NOT promising to be ready by the 6th lol.

This period is always the most stressful because there's always "one last thing I forgot to do," and I hate having to release hotfixes.

Anyway, back to it ~💕🎶
