Boundaries of Morality v0.78 Devlog Update – October 9

Alright, moving on to the coding phase. The base for the update is ready, and I'll flesh out the rest of the details as I go. The update is going to be packed with content, though I wouldn't call it massive.

A chunk of my time was spent on the Steam release, and another big part went into opening new bank accounts to receive payouts. I've managed to solve the issue for now, but obviously, it's becoming a bigger and bigger headache. Someone previously suggested that I should just relocate. I’ve researched this topic extensively, and I'll put it this way: that is an absolute last resort, something I'd only do in the most extreme circumstances. For now, we are managing just fine. Plus, I have a safety net—even if payments get temporarily blocked, I can keep working for a while without receiving funds.

Here is what’s coming in the update:

  1. Samantha – finishing the event from the previous update.

  2. Victor – Emma's corruption/fall path + story progression.

  3. Kyle – voting.

  4. Stevens – character development and story.

  5. Main Story – moving forward by three in-game days according to the current plan (Stevens / Victor).

  6. Liliana – character development.

  7. Samantha – looped the sex scene so it's replayable.

  8. Relationship development – photoshoot.

I'll try to add a few minor things here and there. The game could use some small touches to make the world feel more alive and interesting, but I'm not making any promises on that front just yet.

The release is tentatively scheduled for the end of the month.

Итак, приступаем к кодингу. База обновления готова, остальное буду дорабатывать уже по ходу дела. Обновление получается насыщенным, хотя и не скажу, что прям масштабным.

Часть времени ушла на подготовку релиза в Steam, а часть — на открытие новых счетов для получения выплат. Пока что проблему удалось решить, но, конечно, это становится всё большей и большей головной болью. Кто-то как-то писал мне, что проще просто переехать. Я изучал этот вопрос очень долго и скажу так: это крайне радикальная мера, к которой я прибегну только в самом крайнем случае. Пока что выкручиваемся. К тому же, у меня есть финансовый запас прочности — даже если переводы временно блокируются, я могу спокойно продолжать работу какое-то время без получения денег.

Что вас ждет в обновлении:

  1. Саманта — доделан ивент, который не вошел в прошлое обновление.

  2. Виктор — продвижение по ветке падения Эммы + сюжет.

  3. Кайл — голосование.

  4. Стивенс — развитие персонажа и сюжет.

  5. Сюжет — продвигаемся на три внутриигровых дня по текущему плану (Стивенс / Виктор).

  6. Лилиана — развитие персонажа.

  7. Саманта — зациклил секс-сцену для возможности повтора.

  8. Развитие отношений — фотосессия.

Постараюсь добавить ещё что-нибудь по мелочи. Хочется внести небольшие штрихи, чтобы мир игры ощущался живее и интереснее, но тут пока без обещаний.

Релиз ориентировочно намечен на конец месяца.

Relocate. Understood. Home is home. Relocating must always be a last resort and not to facilitate a porn game.

according to your game development plan (the two paths - Stevens and Viktor) will there be possibilities along the way to switch from one line to the other? I suspect that switching from Stevens to Viktor will be "relatively" easy, while the other way around will be almost impossible. Or are the lines already so different that it will be impossible?

Maybe Novel is plotting something behind the scenes, but for now, let's focus on the important things, like making sure Emma keeps her knickers out of Stevens' line of sight during their first conversation.😏

Ah, now I get it. So the photo studio isn't a permanent part of the game's story and we'll vote on it if it comes up?

The photoshoot, Kyle, the Artist, the beach, the gym — all of this is extra fan content. But even the main content is developed as needed.

I don't understand what makes you not want to continue these photo shoots in the studio, after all, it's been there almost since the beginning of the game. Maybe the one with Tyler will be fun, but just his presence discourages me. He's so annoying with his tank tops and having sex with glasses, a totally boring guy that makes me skip the Tyler-Emma sex scenes.

Subscribers didn’t vote on the Andrew photo shoot. In this update, Kyle will be included. The rest is up to me. My plan is to develop Tyler. What’s wrong with that?

Is that Tyler with the camera back there? Are these some kind of home photo sessions?

Yes

Is there going to be any more communication with her ex from the beginning text message she received?

Novel-games · October 9, 2026

It's a very time-consuming event, so I'm hesitant to tackle it just yet.

Peter S · October 9, 2026

When you say there will be a continuation of the photo sessions, do you mean those professional studio sessions at Andrew's? And will there be a continuation of the yacht session?
