Development Blog #99
Hi, everyone.
January was a good month, the work has been going very well. Not fast enough to recover the lost time at the end of last year, but still a pretty good pace with results that I'm rather happy with. The bad news is that I scrapped the cheating branch on the last scene of the update. It wasn't working, and I decided instead of trying to fix it, I'd rather just remove it and put something else on its place. So in the next days I'll release a BETA version of the update, that will not contain the cheating branch during the last scene. I will add that one later. This means that sadly the update will have very little content on the straight cheating path (Jessica cheating with men). I usually try to have something for every playthrough style, but this time it didn't work out. Basically there will be lesbian and faithful content in the update, but next to no straight cheating events. I'm trying to be vague, because I don't like spoiling things, but I thought you should know it in this case.
I have just several more images to finish for the BETA, as well as some final writing and editing with Amanda. Then I'll have to put it all in RenPy and it's ready (well, BETA ready).
As always I'll send the update with messages to all patrons from January (and those from December), as soon as their respective tiers get it. So if you don't want to support me next month, you can cancel your pledge without worrying that you won't get the update.
All in all, it's a good start of the new year. Here's hoping it continues throughout 2022.
Stay safe, and thanks for the support.

when is the full version of the update? 😁
It's out.
Quando vai sair a att??
Do you mean the full version of the update?
Some people aren't going to be happy no matter what you do. They'll move the goal post every time.
The update is out ?
Yes. The BETA version.
Maybe in summer we will see the first f... scene with other men.......... or winter......... next year........ 10 years.......... never......... maybe. I would vote for the old newspaper shop guy or the young nerd in the office.... or that young dude she got masturbating in the toilet....
Already waiting for a very very very long time.....
The reason devs do estimates is because most people want a general idea of how long it will take. But things happen, life happens and it isn't like any dev owe anyone anything when it comes to producing content. As a patron you're either fine with the pace of development, or you're not. If you aren't then it's easy enough to stop supporting the dev. No reason to throw a tantrum however. Isn't like Stoper is making an effort to disappoint anyone.
100% This.
At this point I am done with your bullshit dude....I used to be a $25 patron then it kept droping because of your delays and shit and I don't think I can support you anymore and a piece of advice stick to a schedule because if you keep pulling this shit again and again people are going to leave...good luck for your game.
You need to calm down it's a game that u jerk off to. Don't get me wrong it's the best game out there but you need to calm down
Maybe this has been asked already. Scrolling through most of these comments is exhausting. Was it a game mechanics thing or a story / creativity thing that made you decide the branch didn't work?
It didn't fit with Jessica's progress at this point. I was shoving it in just to have a cheating branch in the update, because I know most people care about that path the most. But it felt forced and out of place. I will use the idea later in the game, and when that happens I'll write about it. For those who are interested why it was removed from this update.
Looking forward to it, although I always find it better when Jessica cheats with women
All the images for the BETA are ready. We have to finish the writing on one of the branches of the last scene with Amanda. And then I want to go through it and do some polishing. It will be released tomorrow.
Good job not allowing the vocal minority to influence your creative direction. I'm sure the update will up to par with all the rest. Cheers bud
I don't think you understand the meaning of your words, because i'd like to know about this vocal minority who tried to influence his creative direction. Criticizing him about the delays doesn't correlate with what he makes or cuts out and in case you missed the polls then the majority doesn't give a damn about lesbian or faithful route.
Today is holiday - Jess is coming...
Anyway Stoper I will raise my monthly support if the update meets the expectations … man u just have to focus a little bit … if you speed the updates I think all your supporters will give more credit
So when exactly is this beta update supposed to come out? today i.e 31st or sometime in feb? I really can't stress enough that you really need to make your words hold weight whenever you say something man, all these delays after giving your word time and again just make you look bad.
His word is not the strongest quality unfortunately … he does not get the sense of it I think … his art is great and I hope he will continue this great story … this game needs to be developed up to the last scene
It’s all good! Stoper, your artwork is impeccable and second to none. Keep up the awesome work!
I would say that Stoper comes second after AWAM
probably a skip update for me then, oh well
I think scenes that are in there are pretty good. But if you enjoy only the straight cheating path, I can see why you may want to skip it.
Does adding straight cheating paths take long? February?
I can't say how long it will take. But February definitely.
Speaking strictly for me: the faithful path at fundraising event was the best damn scene in the whole game .... so I’m perfectly ok with this beta.
You can't leave Blake hanging there, and your next dev blog will be 100 so bring on a century:)
Hi! Good news, but I'm really waiting forward to the cheating patch :)
It shouldn't take long after the BETA is ready. And if you play one of the other two paths in the BETA, you'll see what character will be involved in the cheating branch.
DAAAAMN!! Was really looking forward to the STRAIGHT CHEATING!!! 😆 Jess better be getting straight dick from some guy other than Mr. Vanilla on the next one! 😝
