Weekly Report 312 - No More Money
Hi guys,
How is everybody doing? I hope you all had an amazing week.
Last week I was focused solely on writing. It looks like this episode is also going to be quite big. Hopefully not as big as the previous one, but overall things are going well. I’ve reached the point where I’m deciding on a game for the beach, and I think the best choice would be volleyball, obviously with forfeits, considering who’s going to be playing.
Sometime this week I’ll create a poll asking what you think about adding a very simple mini-game to make winning or losing a bit more interesting, but I’ll share more details about that in another post.
That being said, I’m really enjoying writing this episode and I’m confident you’ll enjoy it as well.
So much for the beach escape that was supposed to be just the two of them.

Now that the weekly report is out of the way, I want to explain why it’s coming on a Monday morning instead of late Friday. This is a bit personal and has nothing to do with No More Money, so feel free to skip this part if you’d like.
Ever since I started this game, I knew it would be a long-term project. To avoid the burnout that can come from working on the same story, with the same characters, for years, I occasionally start smaller side projects just to refresh my mind a bit.
The first one was Paradox, which was supposed to be a small project, but it still turned into something fairly substantial, meaning I had to do it with another person. As some of you remember after the first version was released, that person decided to step away because the game didn’t receive the attention he had hoped for. That’s when I realized I needed to create something even simpler that I could handle entirely on my own in my free time.
That’s how the Dirty Texts games came to be. Luckily, those three stories had a writer involved, so my role was mainly creating the renders, which made it manageable to work on them during the weekends.
Last year I had to take a break from everything for a few personal reasons, one of them being burnout. Because I want to avoid reaching that point again, a few months ago I started another Dirty Texts project. This one will be an anthology with many more stories.
Since I don’t want this to take time away from the development of No More Money, I work on it during weekends. However, sometimes it’s better creatively to spend several days in a row on the same project. That’s why I decided to dedicate last Monday and Tuesday to it as well. I was in the flow since the weekend so I didn't want to loose that. After that, I spent the next five days working on No More Money and yesterday night when I left the office I was too tired to create a render for this post.
So overall, I’m still putting in around 40–50 hours per week on No More Money, just in a slightly different structure. Until a demo of Dirty Texts – Anthology is released, the Weekly Reports might occasionally appear a bit more randomly.
The demo will include three stories, and the full project will likely contain somewhere between 12 and 18 stories, depending on how well it’s received. It will definitely be a long-term project, but my plan is to only work on new stories occasionally, whenever I need a short break from No More Money to reset my brain.
I just want to make it clear that the development of No More Money is NOT affected in any way by this. Normally I wouldn’t be working on it during weekends anyway, except when we’re very close to a release.
That being said, I wish you all an amazing week, and I’ll keep you posted once I have something solid to show.
Bests,
Jason

When can we see the android port fixed for the crashes
what a good way to keep your mind fresh, no wonder No More Money has the best writing of all adult games. I do find it like reading a romantic novel when playing it. Even if there's no sex scenes I guess I still can play along. What a genius the dev is.
love the communication, keep the great work up! ur the best <3
I'm curious how many of your subscribers actually have a runthrough saved with the old girlfriend (don't even remember her name, I've totally ignored her).
GOOD MONDAY MORNING 🌄🌞, JASON, LOVORKO, OUR RC TEAM, AND EVERYONE!!!! The week was normal... the weekend was up and down 😅. No work on Saturday due to personal reasons; I had to babysit my little half-sister while my father/stepmother was gone. Slept at their house, and the "first-night effect" got to me. I couldn't sleep for S 😂! They had me sleeping on the Living Room's couch. It was HOT ASF 🥵. My stepmother hates it when people touch the thermostat. I was looking outside every time there were car lights... I was going paranoid due to being unfamiliar with the neighborhood and hoping it was them 🤣... Plus, daylight savings sneaked up on me, and the next thing I knew, it was 5:30 am before I went to sleep 😅. BUT on Sunday, I came back home and finally finished RE9 😁! It took me weeks 😂. Hope it went well for everyone 😁? Now on to the post 😉. That's right!!!! Volleyball… NMM: Xtreme 🥰😛! YES! YES! ALL THE MINI-GAMES, YES 😛!!! WE'RE ALL WINNERS 😁! Jason… I'll always enjoy any content you make 😅. Emma… at the beach ⛱️😍! "Come... join us, Em..." *giggling, happily skipping through the sand towards the rest of the RC ladies 🥰.* "Hey… you know I always read my posts FULLY... it's part of the fun 😁." Oh… I already know you work on side projects 😂. I enjoyed the Dirty Text Stories 😁! New Intern was my favorite 🥰! Oooo…. Sounds cool. I can't wait for it. I'm a simple man… I JUST WANT MORE CONTENT FROM MY DEVS 😅. GIVE ME EVERYTHING 😛!! Jason: "Weekly Reports might occasionally appear a bit more randomly." Me: "I LOVE THE RANDOMNESS 🤣. I LOVE BEING SURPRISED 😅…" "Hey… you do you. Do whatever that makes you happy and helps you relax… take a break if you want too… I'll still be here… like I always have 😉. I just want the best for you and to keep supporting you and enjoy your content like always 😁👍🏻. Like it or not… YOU'RE STUCK WITH ME FOR MANY, MANY MORE YEARS 😈."

The beach! Oh this next episode is going to be awesome! Nice to hear to are feeling good about writing this episode. It is all good if the weekly updates are random Dev. Everyone has a way to relieve burnouts, and it’s good to hear you found a relief for it. Looking for to the poll, and thanks for the weekly render Dev! Have a nice week and see you all at the next weekly post!
I just wanted to say this is one of the hottest games I've played, matching no more secrets, and I can't wait for even more to come out! This latest episode was fantastic 👌
