Episode 7 - Progress Report #1
Hey everyone
It's been a little while! The public release for Episode 6 is out, so it's time to start looking forward to the next episode 🥳.
But first, welcome to all the many new people here! I am truly grateful for all of your support! And a big thanks to all the people who have been sticking around for a while too, of course ❤️! Releasing a new episode is always quite humbling, and to see so many people interested in my naughty little stories is just amazing 😊.
As many of you know, development of Episode 6 was plagued by some difficulties, both by technical troubles and personal health issues. And on top of that, the episode of course was huge in scope and complexity, and harbored its own technical challenges with the many background characters among other things. With the knowledge I have now, I would do a few things differently, but I don't regret spending a lot of time on that outlier of an episode. Nonetheless, I am glad to go back to a bit more straightforward episode with a bit less complexity and size 🙂. And also, to have more diverse locations and outfits again, and to spend time with some characters that have been missing for a while!
So, as I've told quite a few times during the last 12 months, Episode 7 and forward will be going back to approximately the scope of Episode 5 and before. I'm sure a lot of you enjoyed the many possibilities during the party, so you might feel a little let down that the coming episodes will progress with less variability and less little secrets to hunt down. I'm also sure that some of you are happy that you can play the next episodes without missing lots of little side paths and hidden things again 🙂. In whichever camp you are, I am pretty sure you are at least happy that the development time for Episode 7 will be a lot shorter again. Also: I do plan to keep at least some parts of coming episodes a bit more complex with choices and such, so we won't go back to totally railroaded storytelling either.
I have read many, many comments, reviews and feedback over the last couple weeks. I'm very happy to see that the episode was generally very well received. The biggest points of contention were A) the long development time, and B) the complexity of the episode making it hard to navigate without any guides or some such. I think I've already addressed point A enough by now; and I can understand point B as well, especially for the completionists among you. I am thinking of maybe putting together a guide for Episode 6 specifically, where you can see all the conditions for the naughty scenes, without spoiling the long-term consequences of any of the choices of course. I haven't made up my mind yet, but maybe I'll get to that at some point. Let me know if you'd want a walkthrough like that. It would just be a simple document, no in-game walkthrough or anything like that.
Now... onto Episode 7! And to the most asked question, as always: When will it come out? Well... I don't know yet 😬. After having to push back the release date multiple times for the last episode, I learned to not make any predictions this early on. I'll post weekly progress reports as usual, where you can see where I stand. So please, stop asking about a date and be patient please 😊. As mentioned above, I can at least promise you that it won't take another year.
I start talking a bit more about Episode 7 in next week's progress report, but just a quick overview where I'm at now: Storyboarding is finished, which means I have an outline of all coming scenes ready. Basically the who, what, when, where and how. I've also started actually writing the episode, which is about 50% done as of now. I haven't started with renders yet (that will come after writing is done).
There's also some bonus stuff coming for the upper tiers in the next couple weeks. One more special render will come out before the end of the month, and another poll for some smaller Ep. 7 in-game stuff too. I also plan to continue with the pin-up series at some point, probably at some point in December.
❤️ That's enough for now! Thanks for your support and enjoy your weekend! ❤️

I still have not seen any of episode 6, tried your early suggestion with no luck, addicted to Eruption Imminent. Would love to watch all of episodes 6&7.
what's with all the Natasha fans on here lol . she is my least favorite character by far. she is just a predator on a powertrip with actual police powers . i H.... the B......
My friend, I think Ashe is more suitable for the role of "Kitten" due to her appearance, while Natasha complements Ashe with her appearance and personality. This is entirely my opinion, but considering how many people want to see Natasha, there are many who think like me.
pretty sure lexi could me the mysterious X, out of all the characters shes the only one with that letter in her name, also cant wait to see the nxt chapter and how shes gonna deal with the big reveal
how would she have known as early as the blackmailing started though? plus in a siren run she is a bit too sub for that to make much sense. well either way the cat is out of the bag , so Ms X lost her leverage . plus there is the whole phone security subplot alluded to by her bestie.
6 ended a bit on a mixed note . on one hand no reason to fear the blamailer anymore , on the other ,... She is effed . i never understood the kind of people who complain about some people hiding some part of their identity when AHs like them are usually the reason those people have to hide in the first place
When will the new season be released?
OK, so I got to the end of episode 6 slightly confused but quite happily. However, I feel like I've missed some stuff, especially after reading your post. So, would I like a simple walkthrough of episode 6? Yes please! Then I can check out my missing bits of your great game and, perhaps, find myself a better starting position for episode 7. That said, I am not a completionist.
I found it was worth skipping the trivia game to make advances with at least 2 characters. I'm on the siren route. Ps: Natasha's annoying
I haven’t had the chance to partake in episode 6 myself just yet, but I certainly am curious. A question I have involves Natasha, do you happen to have further plans for her or is she simply a narrative device for what path you choose. Either is fine but I would love to see more involvement with her if I’m honest
I hope Morrigan is preparing something good for us between Natasha and Ashe, she is the most requested character in the game
A complete walkthrough for Episode 6 would be very helpful. It would really help me.
Definitely need a guide for Episode 6. The gallery shows other outcomes I haven't gotten in the Siren route so I definitely need a guide to help me get some of those outcomes
Back to 4/5 months of development, can't wait for Episode 7 in March or April of 2026
Is there any other scene with Cleo besides that threesome?
Great update. :) And I would love a walkthrough document.
Thanks for update hope you have a great weekend
The ending where Brihanna pulls the main character’s pants down and everyone at the party finds out she’s a dulpo is that the only ending? Because if it is, man, what a way to end the episode. What a cliffhanger
That is the only ending, but during the party there are many different scenarios, depending on who you choose to hang out with, how much you drink, whether you give in to the blackmail... sooo many different scenarios.
btw MorriganRae, as a strong supporter of this game, and i'm sure there's many of us here, if you're ever stuck on a narrative decision or prioritizing certain story lines or characters or recommendations on things people see, feel free to put up a poll or ask the community, just tag it with spoiler warning, and we are more than happy to help make this game get more traction whne having narrative block. And even myself as a software engineer, i haven't workedwit renpy yet (it's on my todo list) but we can also help with some wireframing or flowchats if you're stuck navigating the complexities of the stories. I do my share of storyboarding every now and then :)
i just finished episode 6.1 yesterday. and damn this game is becoming one of my favorites. after finishing the 6 seasons i looked at the gallery and realized how many more alternate paths and stories existed that i didnt even know existed because of the path that i'm on. Which makes me wonder: Do you think there's a way to potentially role-swapping and being able to play multiple paths one day without the save/load options? I'm a completionist and i usually like to experiene all options, but i take it you're locked out of a few paths sometimes, but maybe we can have the MC (Is default name Ashe?) be able to do end-of-night scenarios while she's high and horny, and instead of just showing the render of her doing it in bed, or her shower, or random bathrooms, use that opportunity for injection points of "what if" moments, to "recall recent events leading up to that" as pent-up libido, and even think of alternatives? like if she was on Siren route, wonder what it would be like to be on kitten route if or iff she's on CQ route, wonder about the other options ,depending on who she interracted with recently and alternate/decisions taken ? :D I just always like "what if" end-of-day alternatives for VNs that give hints on what could have been if you did something differently that night (likeif you drank a lot but not too much etc) , as a hint in-world to explore other paths later without relying on mods. but nways, love the game, i'm invested, and P**** is hella sus :)
Loved Episode 6 and know Episode 7 will be great too. I do hope for a guide for episode 6 tho 😂 I’ve gotten a lot of different stuff than before but have no clue if there’s more and some stuff I activated once by accident and couldn’t get it again
It would be nice to see more of Vanessa and Delilah. I also hope Vanessa gets over her first shock or whatever this reaction was and makes up with the mc.
Please, a guide for episode 6 ❤️
That walkthrough would be be great. Thx in advance and all the best for ep. 7!
I haven't had time to play EP6 yet, hopefully this weekend, but this is good news dude! I'm glad that the release went well and that future episodes will have shorter release schedules... :)
An ep 6 guide would be fantastic. Im not a completionist but id love to be able to figure out any specific party routes without playing a bunch of times. I can think about consequences later haha
yeah i had to go and redo so many different options, and not only does your "path" alter choices availabilities, but thos choices lock you out of characters completely for some reason ( i wish we could revisit them later, like i wanted to see what Wilma was about but there was so much more content on the quizz side) etc... and not only that, but your drinking levels changed the outcome.. like when you hit on someone while too drunk u couldnt commit to it, but also if you have enough drunkness then you'd be able to push the limit with certain characters etc... it was a bit hard to track all of that, even with a WT mod (i had to get one because it got very confusing very fast). but im a completionist.. or at least, i'm fine trying certain renders and then rolling back and taking the "locked in" path, but i usually am a fan of having chances to get access to ALL charaters ad be able to multi-task paths with anyone, based on your choices, not completely be locked out. ex: i'm curious about the whole cop drama, but Lexie was just too damn adorable to be missed out.
Cant wait. Loved episode 6. Especially the end. Ive never been so invested in the story of a porn game before which is a funny and weird thing to say i feel like. But that means i cant wait for episode 7. Please keep up the great work!
Hi sorry my discord account was hacked I trying to get it back. Hope i didn't miss anything.
I hope the return of my queens Stella and Evelyn is imminent🧎♂️➡️
