Hi Melty, it's not abandoned.

I'm trying to work around some setbacks I've had in my personal life. In addition, the game has become quite complex, I've lost my writing partner, and Episode 5, which is taking a while to be released, is really huge. It's probably more than double the size of any other update.

Just this week I managed to take some time out to dig into the code, and I've made good progress that will free me up to render the last few scenes.

Thanks for your question, it made me sit down for a while and write a brief update. I'm going to take advantage of the fact that you've made me put a few words together, and use this info in a post so that anyone who's interested can also get an update on the progress of the project.

Cheers,

Hi avalonxander,

I haven't been able to release it yet. The truth is that the game has become quite complex in events and in the amount of characters. Together with my reduced availability of time to work on it, I'm taking a longer time to finish this chapter that is huge in terms of events, characters implied and scenes.

Thanks for getting in touch!

Cheers,

Lustfer

Hi superfreq,

The mention of the game being Blind Friendly is because the RenPy platform natively has Self-voicing and ALT text for images. Reading through Self-voicing should be working properly, however, I have not provided ALT text for images.

So far I have not had the opportunity to talk to a fully blind player, if you believe the presence of the tag is inappropriate since the game only features Self-voicing I will do so.

Thank you for your personal interest!

Cheers,

Lustfer

Hello AVNlover, 

The goal is, first of all, to push the game to a high level of quality. Delivering both story and image quality. I am sure we are doing very well in this regard. 💜

That being said, regarding Steam, I personally intend to attempt to release it on the platform when the story is completed.

I hope they will accept the game without any problems, but they are quite picky about some aspects. Even though our characters are all of age, you never know what else they might see as an obstacle to refuse a game. 😅

In any case, if it is going to happen, it will be in the future.  A minimum of 12 chapters has been planned, divided into two seasons (or more if we opt for more chapters). So, we still have a lot of work ahead of us.

Cheers,

Lustfer

Hey Siddharthsanklecha!

Yes, we have a character named Norma, she has fdom traits and tries to take over our MC. It's up to the player's choice to accept it or show her who is in charge.

Yes. Many players hate these elements. So we deliberated in favor of listening to the majority and not going down this path. Now is the ideal time as we are still in the beginning, it is not a big problem to change direction.

Thanks for your feedback!

Hello!

The sandbox is an mode inside the VN, it includes a bit of grinding with the use of status, time, money and items. Many people complain about this. We are going to keep the story flowing with decisions to be made and the "free roam" but without the use of the grinding elements mentioned above.

You can explore places in the city, discovering secrets about the other residents. And along with this you will find several girls and women that you can try to hook up with. Throughout the story you will have choices to make and your choices can give a score for the relationship with each character, the score obtained can trace your destiny and the possibilities of actions in certain situations.

If you like it, please follow the page to stay tunned for upcoming updates. And please leave your feedback, It is very important for the project's future.
