I’m gradually changing the chapter titles in the game. The demo version already has the updated names. However, the latest update available on Itch and Patreon still uses the old chapter titles.
What does this mean? In the demo, you’ll see three chapters + the intro. In the latest Patreon update, these same chapters have different names. They are all labeled as Chapter One, but split into Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.
I know this can be a bit confusing, but I’ll have to keep it this way until the next update is released. Once the next update comes out, all the inconvenience and confusion will be resolved. Each part will become its own proper chapter, without being split into parts. So the latest version you played is "Chapter 2, Part Three" which basically is "Chapter 6". I'm currently working on the 7th Chapter, the final for the "First Book" which will be released on Steam first, but eventually on Steam and Patreon as well. So you don't have to pay twice. Just wait a little bit longer.
As for the development period, lots of reasons why it's taking so long. War, power outages, Christmas episode, which I had to cancel and put on hold basically due to lack of time due to power outages etc. So if I were to calculate how much time I’ve spent working specifically on the next update, it would probably come to about three-four months in total, not a year. But it is what it is... I'm working on it full-time now. Hope it will be ready by autumn, but will see.
You can buy the latest version here, and you will get all future versions as well. It's a one-time payment. Patreon\Subscribestar is for monthly subscriptions and other bonuses if you want to support me more.
However, the next version will be published on Steam first to boost sales, and only after some time will I publish it on my other pages.
I can't give any other date as I don't know myself. I'm working, but the situation with power is very bad. 3-4 hours of power per day. So I'd be lucky to finish by summer.
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed. Cathy is the best❤️
I plan two books. The first book will include 7 chapters(now the latest update is 6 chapter, I'll rename parts into chapters with next release). And the second book probably 5. But will see...
As I said, I'll have a light version of harem with some girls. A possibility of it depending on your choices. It's not because I like it or don't. It just doesn't fit in the story. As for the fetishes, sure. There will be scenes like that on Octavia's sub path.
1)I wouldn't say there is monogamous tradition. First of all we don't know much about the people outside of the Citadel and how they live. As the game progress you can hear a few times that most people just gave in to their dirty desires. That's what Cathy talks about. How no one sees the point in love anymore. Therefore, it can be assumed that everyone lives as they wish. No monogamous. But if you look at our characters, then yes. They are mostly monogamous coz it's the idea. Half of them are from the past, which is normal. The other half are just like that. They are different from other people of the future. And having a harem isn't something I'm planning.
Second, Phoenix actually has a program called "Revival(I'm not sure how I named it in English, it was a long time ago)". Octavia mentions it during your first meet if you decide not to stand up for Cathy. I thought about exploring this later, but decided to bury this idea as I didn't have much time for that plus it would only be appropriate for those who are on the sub path. What it is is actually a mandatory program for all young people. Males should be checked first and then "milked" if their semen meets the requirements. And then all young women must undergo the procedure of impregnating. But given the infertility rate and population, even this program will not save them.
I won't have harem in my game. But there might be some throuple possible endings.
2)Yes, she is a custom character. She uses one main base and plenty of modifications.
3)Yes, Ellie will take part in the story and is a potential love interest. But only under certain circumstances. As for the mother, no. Mom is not a romancable character.
I plan two books. The first one will contain 7 Chapters. As for the second, I'm not sure yet. But probably 5. I'm changing chapters numbering, so the next update will be numbered as Chapter 7 and it will be final for the first book. I plan to release the first book as a complete game on steam.
Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed the new update.
As for the grammar errors. I always encourage players to share them on my discord server. There is a channel dedicated to that. But that's optional, of course.
But that's weird coz I had both AI and a proofreader do the job. And my beta testers also do some proofreading during their play. I was sure this release was the best in terms of dialogues and their quality. Might take a better look. Please share at least one example if you can.
I'll try to change that in the next update by adding a choice on a splash screen whether you allow or don't allow discord rich presence. And only after that choices the game will launch the plugin. So if you choose no, it won't trigger the firewall, and the game will launch as it should.
Yes. But for most people, everything works fine. It seems that the problem occurs only if a third-party firewall is installed with custom settings. There are no issues with the default Windows firewall or with the default settings. So adding the game to the firewall exceptions should be enough, no need to unren or delete anything. I'll add a note on that to the game page and release posts.
Yeah, I get a few reports on that. Looks like firewall is the issue. I just tested it on my laptop without discord installed and it works fine. The plugin checks if discord is installed and the firewall just doesn't allow it.
You just have to add the game to the firewall exceptions. I get it if you don't want to do it, but there is nothing I can do. Only manually delete the whole plugin folder, as you said.
harem in the meaning of dating several girls, yes. Harem ending, not planned, but probably possible in some way. Pregnancy, can't say for sure. Probably at the very end on some paths.
Hi, damalon. Thank you for your interest in my game.
Several reasons, and I point at them from time to time in my public dev updates. But in short:
The largest and most devastating war since World War II is raging in Ukraine, with all the consequences that come with it.
A massive amount of planned content. This will be my biggest update yet, featuring main story progression, many lewd scenes including scenes for three different paths. Combine that with the first point, limited work time, and a heavy emotional toll.
Power issues. Again, tied to the war. Frequent blackouts mean I can’t always work on my PC.
Some scenes are particularly complex, demanding extra attention to detail and more time to get them right.
In short, if there were no war and I were living a normal life, this game would be my top priority. I’d pour all my time and energy into it with joy. In the current situation, that’s a luxury. So, I’m just going with the flow, working as I can, and the update will be ready when it’s ready. I could cut planned scenes or simplify them to release faster, but I want the game to match my original vision, not chase quick releases or profit. Yes, development is taking a while, but I hope it’s worth it and players will appreciate the effort, even if it means a longer wait.
That said, I’m on the home stretch, and the update is almost here. Stay tuned for news on my pages!
The release is sliding to summer. Planned to release it this month, but I haven't finished all I planned. I have still a lot of work left. I really hope in June.
No, Patreon is for subscription and regular monthly payments if you want to support me or get the latest updates and other bonuses I offer there. It's up to you. Some just subscribe to get a new update and then cancel, others support on a longer basis.
