v0.2.4 status report.
Hello everyone, how are you all doing? I’m doing mostly fine, just really busy. I can’t give exact numbers yet, but I’ve finished about 1,400 voices so far and still have more to do. I’m also deep into coding, so don’t think I’m inactive, I’m here, pushing to get this update out as fast as I can. Plus, I’ve added around 200 extra SFX to the game.
Zoey’s mission is fully playable now. There are just a few animations missing and some coding issues, but other than that, everything looks good. For Valeria’s mission, 398 scenes are written, all the SFX are in, and I’m working on the voices. My writer, Hell, is working on the other part of the script,about 663 renders and I’m currently waiting on her progress. We had some communication hiccups earlier, but that’s all sorted now, and she’s fully focused on making this as amazing as possible.
Side note: she did an incredible job with Zoey’s script and the first part of Valeria’s. The writing flows smoothly, it’s fun to read, and really engaging. I’m hoping she keeps that quality because you deserve nothing less. She’s my best option right now, and I’m being patient. I don’t want to rush or stress her because writing is the most important part. I told her to just keep doing her best and deliver great work. That’s why I can’t give a definite release date yet. But trust me, I’m on this every day. While she writes, I’m handling everything else in the script to make the game feel alive.
Valeria’s script means a lot to me, she’s my favorite character, and I’ve put a lot into her. I won’t release the game until her story is done right and as awesome as possible.
Here’s my quick preview:
Zoey’s Mission:
Visually, it looks great,your eyes will love,
Writing-wise, it’s super fun to read, especially with the voice acting. I enjoy it myself, but it depends on your taste.
Story-wise, you’ll find things to love or hate. The lore is deep, and there’s a lot I haven’t revealed yet. As the game grows, like fine wine, it’ll only get better.
Valeria’s Mission:
Visually, it’s even better than Zoey’s because I’ve learned new techniques and improved the settings. And most importantly, VALERIA IS AWESOME!
Story-wise, I absolutely love the whole ’80s idea the vibes and everything feel very epic to me. The story connects with Zoey’s mission as well. Everything is connected and makes sense you’ll see that in time.
Writing-wise, the part Hell wrote is absolutely amazing, funny, sexy, and easy to read. I expect her to write the ’80s part just as well.
When my main writer left, it really set me back because I was planning to finish everything by early December and start testing now. But that didn’t happen. Don’t worry though,all the game’s ideas are mine from start to finish. Right now, I trust Hell. She’s done an amazing job so far, exactly how I wanted. I’m hoping she keeps it up and takes a big weight off my shoulders.
My goal is to finish everything by December 31, but there’s still a ton of work left. Unfortunately, a lot went sideways with this update, but I’m used to that. I believe you only fail if you give up and honestly, I don’t even know what giving up means. I’m always focused on finding solutions.I want to give you all a well-developed, great game. I’ll keep you updated on our progress. I’m thinking about releasing the game in January, but I can’t give an exact date yet. Take care, everyone!

lesbian trash is avoidable? What hetero content is in your game? Is main focus (I hope) or not?
Hey buddy we want valeria scent the most in future update add more valeria and I am playing this game bcz of her 😆
She’s my priority too, don’t worry,her content is much better.
VALERIA IS AWESOME!
HELL YES❤️🔥
Story-wise, I absolutely love the whole ’80s idea and the vibes…’ Man of culture! ‘We’re analog kids in a digital life…’ Exactly as she says… I saw a comment saying ‘Wow I love that pic. I hope she gets fucked hard’ and I haven’t laughed that much in days. My corrupted heart just craves more Hobo, Raymond, Tyler and Liam… Man, I’m so, so fucked up…
He’s honest, I like honesty. I’m not thinking differently. All of my girls are extremely beautiful, their full potential is still locked, but in time I’ll show it. However, Celeste , the girl in the picture, has a real sex scene with Buck, an older “innocent” guy. She’s a bad girl, and she has her own way of 'gathering' information. She’s usually very violent, but today she just enjoys herself and gets what she needs. ‘We’re analog kids in a digital life…’ I love this music. All the ideas in my mind come from the feeling it gives me, and I want to reflect that feeling in the game. That’s why I’m anxious about writing this part, it has to be perfect, no excuses. I’m trying to keep Valeria’s adventure epic, accurate, and awesome. In the next game update, after she remembers her past, she will start wearing her old outfits again, with slightly different accessories , and bring that vibe into her current lifetime.
I thought Zoey was your favorite 😏! I think you switch between Zoey and Valeria depending on the day or week 🫠😅. Referring to a previous comment, I'm also going to turn on the voices to hear what they sound like. I usually read more slowly than average and 99% of Ren'Py games don't have voices, which is why I had them turned off. However, given all the effort and time dedicated to this, I'm going to turn them on. Maybe I'll get used to it and end up loving it 😉! A big shout-out to Hell, who came to put out the fire 🔥 when the ship was in the middle of the open sea 🌊🚢! I wish the project all the best 💪😎👍. Visually, you've already reached a very high level ✨.
Valeria is always my number one, bro. People on Discord know that I’m obsessed when it comes to Valeria. i definitelly recommend Voice on this time. And yeah, Hell really saved me this time. Making a game is a constant battle, and I’ve always been unlucky when it comes to writers. It’s hard to find people with the right mindset or good skills. Many see it as just a job and aren’t passionate enough, which really affects the quality. I understand their point of view, but I don’t support it ,because when it comes to visual novels or any kind of entertainment work, people should be passionate and put their heart into the project. I can’t compete with other games and reach the top if I don’t have a good writer. No matter how good the visuals are, the writing has to be strong/accurate and enjoyable too. No excuses.
👍
❤️
I initially didn't play with the charcter voices on but seeing how much you're working on their voices I'll give it a try with this update!
The voice I’m using for Zoey has been updated. Before this, I didn’t really like how she sounded at all, but in this update she’s much better. In the app, I was able to adjust her speaking speed, so I slowed her down a little. Now she sounds more natural and clearer. I definitely recommend it.

We know your team and you are doing your ABSOFUCKENLUTELY BEST!!! Keep up the amazing work 😉! Looking forward to everything, Xell!!! ❤️🫶🏻🫰🏻 🤣… Well, Xell, "giving up" means to stop trying to do something, quit a habit, surrender control, or abandon hope, often because it seems too difficult, painful, or unsuccessful, signaling an admission of defeat or a decision to stop effort. It's the act of ceasing an attempt, relinquishing something, or losing faith in a person or goal (according to Google 🤓). There… now you know 😅. As always, thanks for the Update, Xell! The Restaurant Team, you all keep on keeping on 😉!!! ALWAYS EXCITED AND EAGERLY WAITING FOR YOUR GAME AND READING YOUR POSTS 🙌🏻🔥!!! Love and appreciate everything!

You are the best, man, and yeah, I still don’t know what giving up means and never will. My job is to make this as amazing as possible,I’m obsessed with that and not going to stop. I’m trusting my girls. From now on, the game will only move in a better direction. I will only fail if I stop working on this. But I’m not going to betray my girls, and most importantly, each of you here.
The girl in the pic is stunning! 🤯 Keep up with the good work!
Her name is Celeste, one of my bad girls. She’s a psycho, but to me she’s perfect. Btw, we have 3 more new songs. One of them was written especially for Valeria. I’m thinking about making another trailer in the future, but probably after the update. The lyrics are really good. You will see
wow i love that pic. i hope she gets fucked hard.
She is 'gathering' information from the old redneck gas station owner. She’s badass, I love her. But she’s not as lovely as she looks in this pic. She’s one of my villains.
