Hello everyone! After a long 3 months, we finally have a new build of Hazelnut Latte, and boy is it a doozy. This is the most content I have ever put into a build and therefore the most work. Many pieces of art, animation, and writing went into this build. Which makes sense given that this is not only an entire episode of the game, but a WHOLE episode! In the past I only released small sections of episodes, but I'm trying to move toward a model where I only post a new build when I have a LOT ready. And not just ready. But bug tested and working well with a logical narrative cut off point.
Now this update was hard for me, and not just because of all the content in it. I was struggling through the holidays at my full time retail job, all without a boss so I was the boss. And then this got delayed further by me moving.
But it also is over 22k words long! It's novella length! The total game's word count is at 63k, which is well over novel length. All this to say, there is a lot of stuff in this game.
We introduced new characters, new locations, improved systems, and a map system that will get more complex with time.
I hope all the content and unlockables keeps everyone occupied while I work on the next build!
So I hope you all enjoy the newest build of my game!
And remember! You are all my beta testers! If something is broken message me on Patreon or on Discord.
Each tier will get its own post with its own download links. Please do not distribute these builds to others and post them around. Kokman and I worked really hard to bring this update to you <3
*Roughly that day, with the Patreon tiers I can schedule posts, but I can't schedule an Itch release. So this may be a few days earlier or a few days later if I find out I'm busy that day. I will do my best, but I cannot promise anything since I don't know what is going to be happening in my life in a month. Please don't bother me about this, cause I am just going to either ignore you or screenshot this for you.
So where do we go from here?
There is a lot of work to be done. My personal life has been in an awful funk for the past few months. To recap, I am an assistant manager at a grocery store. My boss quit in October, leaving me in charge without anyone to assist me. They waited until February to hire a new boss for me. So from October to now I have been really going through it. I've had almost no time to write Episode 5. That said, I have it outlined. So Kokman is drawing the scenes I have planned, I just need to write them.
I just moved and I am getting married at the end of the month. So between all these things happening I am going to try to get back on the writing train. Hopefully in a new apartment, with less responsibilities at work, and with a husband, I can be mentally and physically recovered enough to write femboy porn.
The silver lining is that this Patreon keeps doing better and better every month. If this keeps up, I am planning on quitting my retail job by August, if not sooner. I want to save up my money, cause I've always been too poor to have a saving. Even if that means working 2 jobs, this and my retail job. I want to make good use of my medical benefits before I become self employed. I need new glasses and my teeth could use some fixing.
What I am trying to say is that I plan on becoming a full time game dev this year! And it's all thanks to you fine folks.
So yes, it will be a big one! I got a lot to do in this episode, so there is a chance I break it up or just go crazy and have it be huge.
I am also hoping to have later patches to the game that fix some animation issues.
Please be sure to follow me here on Patreon for updates and support the game so I can quit my job faster! There are so many femboy games I want to make.
Anyway, thank you all! Enjoy the new build! Lemme know if it breaks! And...
