Guess it's a set of animations I'm unlikely to ever see. It may be boring to some, but I prefer to keep my characters as close to morally good as a narrative allows, even if it means I end up missing out sometimes. Still, it's cool to see you've put as much thought into the consequences as this. Looking forward to 0.6 whenever it drops.

Freaking me out a little bit here BRdsky, was reading this while peeling a tangerine after a longass shift. But paranoia aside, glad to see you'll soon be back in action, gave the current version a try about half a year ago, was pretty impressed with the ideas presented and just how alive the world was for how early in development it felt narratively.  Can't wait to see what you come up with next, been waiting a good while for fresh news.

To you both as well, thanks for making this a year worth having. Been a genuine joy reading every bit of progress made, from your coding stories Shady 1 to every piece of artistry you've put to the page Shady 2. I may not be as active now as I was towards the start of the year, but you can bet your bottom dollar that I'll always be here to see what you fine folk bring to bear. Here's to hoping 2026 proves to be more fruitful than ever for us all, can't wait to see what you both bring up next. For the last time this year, but sure as hell not the last overall, goodnight and best of luck to y'all. Peace.

Can't wait to dive in, just gotta slog through tomorrow and then it's time to feast. Thanks for making sure the last several hours of 2025 are happy ones on my end PC.

To y'all as well, here's to hoping 2026 proves better. And to everyone that doesn't celebrate Christmas, hope you have/had a good Hanukah, local matsuri, etc..

Merry Christmas Den and everyone else here, hope it went well and y'all got some good loot. And for everyone that doesn't celebrate, here's hoping you have/had a happy Hanukah, local matsuri, etc..

With how solid Magic Academy has been I can't wait to see what y'all craft here, always been a sucker for good scifi. Congrats on the launch, it's early days yet but the base looks extremely promising.

You'll keep whatever you earned during the Halloween event, but the NPC will be gone and anything left undone will be lost. I'd recommend grinding out all the events in the order they were released, then starting a save in the Christmas event here if you want all the goodies that've released so far, thankfully phracassado actually keeps the old updates up as pages here.

That sketch of Violet is frigging adorable, can't wait to see its finished version. Stepfather used to live in Germany so I've heard plenty of horror stories Shady 1, you have my sympathies. Glad to hear you were able to make some progress towards the class events and do a good bit of maintenance on the code, it may not be much but with how hectic your life is right now I suppose that's to be expected. Hope everything's going well for you and Shady 2 despite the travel headaches, guess we'll talk again here or on Discord later, but for now I should get some sleep. If you celebrate it, just wanna wish you an early Merry Christmas for you and yours. Peace.

That's because of the Collective Shout fiasco. There aren't many NSFW games that still allow card payments here.

Glad to hear it, can't wait to see a new release. I like Second Chance, but Cosmic's still my favorite of your projects, guess it's just the sci-fi geek in me.

Can't wait, been looking forward to the next release for months now. Y'all do top notch work, even considering everything that happened with CS I'm surprised the page is still as small as it is.

Guess I have a reason to revamp my jock character again, probably still going to make him out as an intelligent bruiser like he was in the first save, but now instead of a science major he can stick to his roots as a sports major. Thanks as always for all the hard work y'all put in, looking forward to the update whenever it drops.

'Sall good MMG, tend to prefer just going for native saves anyhow. New game looks cute, can't wait to check it out whenever it's ready for a demo. Glad to hear you're still planning on expanding MM more, I love the game as it is, but more content's always welcome.

Can't wait to dive in, thanks as always for all the hard work Vert. Now to see if I can squeeze in enough time before Monday's morning shift to complete it...

Been looking forward to this for months, can't wait to see what you've made here SZ. Thanks for the update.

Good news all around, glad to see you were able to begin to resolve the progress problem to your satisfaction. It does make me wonder how the professors would react to seeing a scrawny layabout suddenly become the equivalent of an Olympian athlete or gain an IQ of 180+ over the course of a month, but I suppose that'll become apparent in due time.

Also glad to hear that more progress is being made so far as the Trial and Violet's events, I know it's a slog for you right now so every bit of news is appreciated Shady 1. And Shady 2, if all the girls' outfits look anywhere near as good as Aisling does here, we're in for a hell of a lot of eye candy in the future. Only problem is now I'll be fantasizing over Elizabeth's look I suppose, but it's a good problem to have.

Thanks for another look behind the scenes in any case, hope as always that life's treating the both of you good and that you're in good health. Cya again next devlog or on Discord, whichever comes first, but for now I'm gonna call it a night here. Peace.

And now that a month has passed, I cannot wait to see the scene 5.5 couldn't show me. Still loved the rest of the game after, but I must admit it was a bit disgruntling. Thanks for all the hard work AN.

Mind? Hell, I'd encourage it, she's beautiful.

That's the second time I've gotten egg on my face for more or less the same problem, my apologies. Thanks for the quick reply, will do so now.

Now that there's a separate paid page for the game, is there any plan for purchasers prior to the CS debacle to be able to access the downloads? Or would we have to buy the game again to do so?

Not my wheelhouse, but I guess I'm happy for the rest of you. Good luck to you Thomas, I may not be downloading the project myself but I hope you're able to carve out a niche for yourself here.

As it should be in an AVN. They're meant to be closer to traditional erotica than straight up porn, even if a good number of creators have done as much on the site. But I'll take works like this, Crimson High, My Time With You, etc. a hundred times over.

Got a job there a short while ago after a long dry spell, been working in textiles for about two weeks now. Fairly boring work all things considered, but it pays more than zilch and lets me help redistribute stuff that would've otherwise been trashed to a new home. Also means I get to find some pretty interesting stuff in the donations, seen multiple rare and high ticket items already, and some pretty weird stuff besides.

Don't worry too much about it man, this is a passion project and an indie, it's best you do it at your pace and to your satisfaction. Hope life's been treating you well and that you're in good health since the last update.

I've said it before and I'll say it again Shady 1, I'd far rather you took the time to make something you both can be proud of than sticking to arbitrary deadlines. This is an indie game and a passion project, if you're not happy with what you made what's the point of making it in this context?

All that being said, as always I appreciate the transparency for things behind the electric veil, it's always nice to get insights into both of your creative processes. Hope Shady 2 is feeling better after her illness the previous week, but if she's still out of it say hey to her for me. Hope life's treating you both well and that you're in good spirits. Talk to you again next time or on Discord, whichever comes first, but I'll stop rambling for now, been a really long week sorting stuff for Goodwill.

Their Discord and the free Patreon posts give details whenever they're available, these things take time, especially with a smaller team and a highly specialized visual style like AL has.

A surprise and a pleasure as always, thanks for the headsup. Can't wait to see Naomi, Honoka, and Aida's new scenes, and it's nice to see progress being made on the Halloween MC events after they were mentioned on Discord. Thanks once more for the hard work y'all put in, looking forward to the update whenever it drops.

A sweetly affectionate tomboy that has no desire other than someone to fully and honestly love her. Looks like you and I are in the same boat.

I suppose the main reason I don't buy bundles like this is the fact that most of them have at least one work with netori, netorare or netorase as the main focus. I get there are people that somehow enjoy it as a kink, but it has always disgusted me on principle. If others want to buy it, fine, I won't stop them. But I'll never support it myself, would far rather pay the creators I enjoy individually than contribute even a cent to a compilation that has them in their ranks.

Went really damn good, was afraid I might miss it after being so beat from work, but managed to stay awake long enough to do my whole song and dance passing out candy and frightening the kiddos (well, up to a point of course). Love imitating a blinded werewolf, guess it helps that I'm a hairy bastard to begin with. Hope everything's going well for you Maelstrom, can't wait to see the next patch whenever it's ready.

Can't wait to see what y'all've been making since the last release, bought the game not too long after said patch and have been waiting with bated breath for more news ever since. 

Liking the approach you took towards the bad ends, it strikes a good balance between punishing the player for carelessness and providing more content without the possibility of a complete restart.

Sometimes it just ends up going like this. I can't say part of me isn't a bit sad to see the project go, but it's understandable given what you said on Patreon. Sorry to hear about all the shit you've had to endure and continue to be plagued by OCN, knew it wasn't good on your side but I didn't figure it would be this bad. 

I know words from an Internet stranger don't amount to much, but I'm hoping things get better for you from here on out. Thanks for hanging on as long as you have, looking forward to your next projects no matter when or how they release.

Gotcha, thanks for the quick reply and clarification there.

Still not seeing the updates in my regular feed, you're one of a handful of devs on Itch I'm following that I've seen with this problem. Thankfully the email links still work, but it's extremely aggravating regardless, wish Itch would hurry the fuck up on removing the last of the baseless shadowbans.

They're working of completing Garden of Venus first then coming back to HHR, details are in the last devlog released here. Basic gist is they were growing unsatisfied with GoV and want to wrap up development with it as fast as possible, then switch exclusively to HHR.

No worries man, sometimes it takes longer than one'd think. Thanks for the quick peek behind the scenes for this freeloader.

Glad to hear it, she and Pearl were two of the characters that intrigued me the most from the start. Good to see she's finally getting her chance to be in the spotlight again, can't wait for the next patch.

Well, that's the story and about 95% of the photos and bonus content snapped so far, really damn good work there TSG. Can't wait to see what comes next for any of the three projects.

'Sall good man, not seriously expecting anything, just spitballing more than anything. I don't envy you developing GG, it's already one hell of a complicated beast to tackle when considering narrative alone, not to mention everything else required. Just thanks for listening to a slightly petty vent.
