It will be one of the changes in an update I'm pushing through. It is mostly chapter one content, but this scene will be included. The text for the scene will be a bit less jarring.

Time works differently there. A short period for us is decades there. In hindsight I would have brought her back. Alas.

I wanted her to have a happy ending and not a sad one. I wanted her to find happiness.

There is only one, I'm never going there again.

When I started creating the game , Gen 9 was new. I decided to go with Gen 9 models and they were limited. I had about six, now I have a hundred so I have a lot more to choose from. In saying that, I think Lydia is the most beautiful girl in the game. I think Jacinta is gorgeous. So a lot with LIs comes back to personal preference. Sarissa is an ugly duckling who changes with the game and Charlie has a lot of change coming physically and emotionally, so see how she ends up and what you think. I love the different Charlie coming, I think that version of her is hot, but time will tell. There are a lot more girls to come so you may find some more interesting. I think there is 7 or 8 in the new chapter.

I always appreciate constructive feedback. You said what you don't like and why. I can work with that and discuss it and if I agree I am prepared to make changes. I've got a lot of angst about Livvy so I'm prepared to adjust her story to a point. Livvy's path is the longest side path in the game. She has a lot to go through especially in the later stages of the game. There is some leeway in her path I'm prepared to adjust, hence why I'm adjusting the first chapter. 

NTR, Cuck, harem, swinging, and so on doesn't worry me. I've never been hung on up putting games in boxes like so many other people. I think it severely limits creativity. If a game has a story I find interesting I don't care what it is. That is just my preference though. I do seem to prefer harem style games though, but there are NTR games I like too. 

It's been an interesting conversation. Thanks for posting.

Seraphion is one of my favorites. She is a side LI. You will get an option to choose her path.

You learn more about Livvy as time goes on. She was only with Rebeus a few times at the beginning before she got involved with the MC. The other times she ONLY engaged with the women. The brother is an utter asshole who is focused on destroying his brother. Charlie tries to avoid Rebeus but Rebeus uses his authority to push her in to a dinner. Charlie isn't infatuated, she is just at that time in her life where she is curious about things and wonders what all the fuss is about. She never had any intentions of being with Rebeus.

Obviously, I wasn't transparent enough in my writing with Chapter 1. I am re-writing the first chapter which I may release prior to the next chapter. I'll confirm that soon. 

I've been re-writing chapter 1 because people don't get to the stage where Livvy's situation is all a lie which is revealed in chapter two and why she says what she says to deceive the MC and upset him. Livvy was never meant to be an LI just a friend with benefits, but people like her and wanted her to be an LI so now she is a side LI if people choose. In the re-write things will be much clearer.

Rebecca isn't an LI at all. They are just two people having a one off fling. She doesn't need the MCs approval for her thoughts. They are best friends who talk to each other about everything even stuff they don't want to hear. The rewrite changes those lines anyway. Instead the new text makes it clear Rebecca has a negative view of Rebeus.

Charlie likes to watch and listen. She is a voyeur. The object of her fantasy is always the MC, she never thinks about other men. That wasn't clear, but I have made it clear in the re-write.

Tauriel kept the MC at arms length and there is a reason for that that comes later. Still, I have re-written parts so it is apparent there is more going on there. It wasn't clear enough before.

Jacinta is only interested in using the MC. She has no romantic interest in him. That comes later.

Thanks Merlin. I'm making progress, trying hard to anyway. 

Haha, I'm definitely getting grumpier, mostly at the Australian government these days. Have a great Easter mate.

Thanks for the feedback. I talk more about that in the dev update after the release.

Agreed. It's on my list.

I appreciate the sentiment. Itch have made it hard for devs to gather a few dollars to help with costs. Thanks for your support though.

Thanks mate. I appreciate that. Now I have some movie clips done I need to add a new video.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I've been continually improving the game and putting a lot of work in to it.

LMAO I'm old enough mate. I'm not in a hurry. 

Hi mookieb13,

Sorry for the delay in replying I was away. Thanks for the support, I appreciate it. Sadly options for AVNs are limited and censorship is an increasing problem. I'm more interested in recuperating a few costs, buying more assets, etc. I've heard rumors about other platforms and alternative payment methods being created, but so far I haven't seen any come to fruition yet. I'm hoping.

Thanks for the support I really appreciate it. I understand not everyone likes Steam. I've had a few words with them of late over what they consider 'adult' in images. I'm just trying to make some interesting stories with adult content for adults and continue learning and improving. Instead, I find myself battling censorship issues. I've already had to remove a five scenes that were acceptable when I made them and suddenly they weren't.

In regards to Patreon, Patreon is becoming more restrictive as far as adult content goes. Patreon hasn't seen any real growth for a few years now. The 10% cut for new creators and billing changes make things tougher for new devs and so on. Perhaps decline is too strong a word, but Patreon is certainly under pressure. I know there are certainly economic pressures that contribute to that. I'm not blaming Patreon or users, but I do have to deal with changing circumstances and make decisions accordingly. The largest issue to deal with is the fall out of this censorship push against independent games and the new reality that it has created with Steam, Itch, Patreon, etc. 

LMAO Thanks mate. I greatly appreciate it. There is lots more content and upgrades to come.

Trolls are a fact of life with the internet sadly.

I'll pass it on thanks Merlin

That is a very hard question to answer without giving away too much of the plot. 

It takes a while before the love interests (LIs) can enter into a relationship with the MC due to various events. The LIs will come to a place where they agree to the MC dating within their group. The player can choose at various times to go outside the group. Sometimes the LIs will be okay with it, depending on who it is and if they have given the go ahead. The LIs will consider encounters they haven't approved of as cheating and the LIs will not be happy about it. If the LIs lose too many points the player will find themselves rejected and single at the end of the game.

Eventually, the player can ask the LIs to become his harem. The player can then ask for permission to sleep with other women outside of the harem. Their agreement will depend on various things. So it takes a while before the 'official' harem kicks in, but there are times when the MC can enjoy other girls outside the LIs. This game isn't going to be a free for all like many harem games, but there will be more variety as the game progresses.

I hope that's clear enough. 

Thanks for the question.

In harem games, the MC ends up with about 20 or 30 girls and those games follow a certain pattern and come with certain expectations of how they should work.  This game is focused on 5 main girls over the course of the game. At the end you can pick one of the girls to be your Queen or there is an option to marry all five main girls and there is a path where the five main girls will share the MC with others, but the harem is limited to five as this game is more focused on story telling and less on porn tropes. 

Not that there is anything wrong with harem games or porn tropes, I just didn't want to go that way for this game. I wanted to focus on telling a story with adult content. I hope that clarifies it for you.

It would be nice.

Thanks Merlin. I had a set back with the walking, but it happens when you're getting old.

Etiquette system did take on a life of it's own. It isn't too far removed from our Western Middle Ages really. Hopefully, it will become clearer in chapter three. I'm happy to expand on any particular details. Just drop me a line on here or Discord. It becomes less of a thing over time.

Thanks. 

My home town is Toowoomba, but I haven't lived there for a few decades. Beautiful city.

Thanks mate, but I'd go insane without TLC to work on. 

Thanks. I appreciate that.

Enjoy your time away.

Early into chapter 2, you discover all is not what it seemed. Livvy was lying about what was happening with the brother and there is a reason for that. If you want the same old predictable porn tropes, then this isn't for you. If you want something that might just surprise you, then read on. 

Wow really? I appreciate you letting me know. While I appreciate Itch is responding to the payment processors, their lack of communication has been disappointing. I haven't received any communication from Itch at all for changes to devs or consumers or even the de-indexing.

I agree. My chapters are fairly long so I'm considering half chapters. I wouldn't go shorter than that. Chapter 2 is longer than the first one and chapter 3 will be a bit longer again. Food for thought. Thanks for the feedback. 

Thanks mate that helps. I'll replace scenes as I go. I I think the worst ones have been dealt with.

Thanks Merlin. You are everywhere! You deserve frequent flyer points! Just dm me anytime. I still have work to do on ch1 renders, but I'll get there.

Fair comment. I have worked hard on that aspect. The patch will fix a fair few of those renders. The long scene with Rebecca is completely replaced. Thanks for playing.

Great point. I wrote it thin on details because it was there from the start. With the coming update, the entries will only appear after you encounter the entry in game so I can add more detail to each entry. 

There are lots of things going on in that chapter not everything is what it seems. The situation with the brothers will become clearer in ch2, other things you will have to wait longer for.

Haha thanks mate. I hope enjoy it.
