Proof of Life * Update Schedule * November 8th (Patreon)

Hey all, I'd just like to apologize in advance for how long this post is going to be. I've got a lot to unload since I've been so shit at communicating with you all since the update. So, here we go...

If you are a supporter and want the most stable build of this version of the game, check the post with the game links. they have been upgraded to version 0.08_V4(fixed). https://www.patreon.com/posts/afv-0-08-v4-90912906 , Hopefully this will be last build of this version, besides the public version, which will be this version minus the mod and supporter galleries.

Supporters will be getting some game content previews today. Friends get a SFW image preview, Best Friends get a NSFW image preview, and BFF +'s get an animation preview. Support and check out those previews!

I'm getting to the point where I want to get a little more serious about game development and see if I can actually have AFV and future games support me in a way that I can give it the time and attention of a full time job. Up until now it's just been a hobby that I kind of hoped would take off. With that in mind I'm going to make a few minor changes to how I've done things in the past to see if they make enough of a difference in the earnings of AFV to give me enough confidence to really take the big step of changing my full time employment.

As of now, the only change that will affect anyone who follows AFV on Patreon, is that I'm going to make the public build always be the previous build from the one that's offered to supporters. This means that there will be no more public release one month after the supporter release, but that the public build will update when the supporter build does and will always be one version behind the supporter build. Sorry for anyone this negatively affects, but my hope is that I can speed up the rate I make content making this move still be a benefit to those who only play the free public version This change will go into effect on the next build, so it won't affect version 0.08_V4.

Now, to give you all an account of what we've been doing since we released the beta build: I've been working on Jacky content to fill in for all the cold receptions that Jacky has been giving since the main event of the latest content. This has included a lot of animating. The level that I'm animating at now does slow me down a bit as far as the speed in which I can create a scene, but I've now gone from the one second looping animations that I started with to where almost all my animations are five to ten seconds, and sometimes even longer. I'm sure you've all noticed that things on the girls have started getting much bouncier, and that the animations are much more fluid and natural than they once were. I'm hoping the quality of the scenes will make up for the extra time it takes to make them. Luckily Strenif is keeping things plugging along and he's currently working on scenes that push the continuation of the AFV story line. The focus of the next updates will be Camille and by association, some Mandy. We'll soon have the satisfaction of being able to really give it to that smug freeloader!

I also wanted to lay out my goals and schedule for the next update, with the understanding that these are not hard deadlines, just goals I'm setting for myself to try and keep production on task. Please nobody get too bent out of shape if I don't make some of these marks. If I make changes to the schedule due to holidays or whatever, I'll try to keep those changes updated on the calendar below, so come back to this post for updates.

As always, I want to give all of you a big thank you for your continued love and interest for A Family Venture! I feel so much happiness and satisfaction knowing that so many of you really enjoy it. I'm excited for future content, we've finally reached the point where we're creating the kind of content I was most excited for when I began developing the game years ago. We've still got tons of great story left, really fun ideas, and super hot content yet to come. We're just going to keep making AFV better and better. A super special thanks to those of you who support the game or have supported it at any time in the past! I'm just really grateful to all of you! Hope you all have a great week!
