Development update #173 | Chapter 7
Hello everyone!
First of all, I want to welcome new patrons and followers! There are more than 700 of you already! That's insane, thank you so much! I really appreciate your support. Thanks to you, this game is possible and you give me the drive and inspiration to keep going, especially in such incredibly tough circumstances I live in.
I hope everyone who’s played the new update enjoyed it! Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments. I’ve read some reviews already, and it’s been a joy to hear your feedback. After the release, I took a short break. Barely a week, before diving into something I’d been putting off forever: PC maintenance. I started by getting a new SSD dedicated to the game’s needs. Those who’ve been with me for a while might recall I reorganized my files and libraries over a year ago. Heck, I probably do this every year… Last time, I replaced my outdated system drive, but game files were still scattered, and the system drive was clogged. My main 3D library was on a mediocre HDD, and my Windows system, unreinstalled for over five years, lol... was running terribly, causing constant issues. I didn’t dare touch anything until the update was done, fearing I’d break or lose something critical.
First, I disassembled and serviced my PC, then spent a ton of time reorganizing and transferring 3D libraries, game files, and everything tied to development. I wanted a clean Windows install, which meant formatting the drive and wiping programs, temp files, etc. I use about 10–15 core programs, but I have a ton of others, so I audited and exported everything necessary to avoid losing data. Preserving settings, presets, and manual configurations was crucial, as they’re easily lost during reinstalls. I backed up everything important, reinstalled Windows, and have been tweaking it for over a week. Most key programs are set up, but I’ve had to manually reconfigure a lot, like DAZ settings, presets and scripts I use a lot, Adobe programs, plugins, and more. The transfer wasn’t as smooth as I’d hoped, but it’s fine. I’ll polish it over time, and the system’s already running faster and more stable. I’m still working on the library reorganization. It’s an endless task, but I have ideas to streamline my workflow and speed things up. Tho I did end up loosing some presets after all...
As for the next update’s development, I want to finish sorting my PC first, then I’ll dive in. I plan to start scripting the first scenes this week, with some drafts already in hand. This update will likely be the toughest yet, as I aim to pack in a lot of events. I’m not sure how big it’ll be or how many lewd scenes I can fit in, but as you can guess, we’re nearing a pivotal moment in the story. It’ll be heavy on plot and less focused on the girls, though we’ll see how it goes. The next chapter will be the final one for the first book, set to release as a complete game on Steam. And yes, chapters renumbering setting in from this moment. The next update will be named as Chapter 7. Which makes previous one Chapter 6 (Chapter 2, Part Three before). I already mentioned this several times, but I'll repeat this for new people. Each "part" becomes a separate chapter. I also mentioned some rework that I'll have to do before the release(a small one, mostly animations from intro and some static renders) and rewriting previous script files to prepare them for translations. I'll try to work on this in parallel with the new update since it's a big amount of work.
In the near future, I’ll finally get the Steam page up and running, starting preparations next month. I’ll also post new polls in the next week or two: wallpapers, special renders, and a new game cosmetic poll. We’ll likely pick outfits for Riley in this update, plus a few other girls. I’m also planning an active series of cross-promos starting in August. Just so you know you'll be getting more emails from me. I kindly ask for your understanding. That's marketing and I always try to pick the high quality games for you.
Once again, thank you all for your support, reviews, and for playing my game. I’m thrilled that my story resonates with so many of you. More and better things ahead!
P.S. since there are a lot of new patrons on high-tiers, don't forget you can add your name to the credits here (for $15 patrons) and suggest special render ideas here (for $30 patrons).
Have a great week and take care!

Hi Mr.Moonmi May I ask when we can purchase games on Steam to support you? Besides, I think the game has great potential. The women in the game are very attractive to me. Please make sure to complete the game, okay? Come on! Love comes from China!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you. I intend to complete it, of course. And then work on a new one :) As for the steam, as I already said in the post, next year with the release of the new update. That's the plan.
The game is great , my only complaint is Octavia she gets too much time compared to the other characters 80% of the gallery is just her, we already had multiple scenes with her and then this update there are like 4 more, we need a balance, 1 scene with each character instead of 4 with just 1 so everybody wins, this is my opinion, everything else is great. Hope everything works out for you.
Yes, I understand. The thing is, the development took a long time. Plus, the club scene was supposed to be a smaller scene and not a separate update., so it stretched the development even more. If you track the scenes and updates in their chronology, you'll see that I try to keep a balance. Octavia hadn't had any scenes in more than a year, and being the second most popular character (after Daisy), I thought I'd add as much content with her as possible. Now, after her scenes are done, I'll focus on other girls.
thank you for your hard work.
I'm taking my time with it and enjoying it 🥳. I've even reported a few things. I know the game's music has suffered due to copyright issues. I only remember the music from the previous main menu, but having replayed the first few chapters, I've realised that it doesn't always fit with what's happening. The NSFW scenes have good "upbeat" music, but sometimes the characters are recounting some drama and the regular music doesn't accompany them. However, that doesn't matter because I'm still immersing myself in the story. I haven't finished chapter 6 yet. When I do, I'll share my crazy theories here 😈.
Thank you. Which scenes do you think music wasn't right? Do you think there should be different music or just silence? Replacing all the music was so exhausting that I could easily have just inserted a track that wasn't quite right because I was too tired and thought "meh, it will do" :) It is also sometimes hard for me to decide whether there should be music in the scene or just silence. It's just often feel too weird for me when there is no music at all in the scene. Like something is missing. Tho I do agree it is necessary in some scenes.
Hello Mr.Moonmi. thank you for the update, it was great. You incorporated our ideas for the Octavia scene and it turned out superb. I really appreciate it. Only issue is I will have to wait for the next scene until 2027😢. On the bright side this gives me time to think about more scenarios how the MC can turn Octavia into a true sub, this time involving the dungeon. Maybe as an intro the MC finds old footage showing Octavia domming Liu or somebody else there leading into a dungeon scene with Octavia as a sub. Can be used for the Octavia dom route as well. Let me think some more on the actual sequence. A good final would be to put her in bondage gear and let her crawl around in public for all to see. But this would be something for the final dom scene when the game is nearly finished, wouldn´t want to loss her public authority before the end.
2027?? It's quite pessimistic thinking:) I do hope to finish all game by then. But looking back I can't be so sure anymore. I think you'll see new scenes with her in the next update, maybe not so big, but still. Even if not, the next one after that for sure.
Welcome! New supporters! Always nice to extend this family! We're all here to Fix The Future ✊🏻 (and the ladies 🥰)! Nice on your short break! Oh, yeah, PC maintenance. Very important. Speaking as a man with no laptop at the moment 😅. "Thank God for the fine people blessing us with Android Ports. It'll just have to do until I get my new laptop 😁." On the road to CH7 🥳🙌🏻!!! GL with the Steam Page! Can't wait for those polls and cross-promos 😛! No wonder…. I didn't see my name in this latest release's credits. I didn't put it in because I didn't even know about the page (I thought it was automatic). Some Devs do it automatically, some you have to tell them, and some will ask for your permission 😅. Don't be like me, people. Thanks for the Update, Mr.MoonMi!!! Keep on keeping on 😉!!! ALWAYS EXCITED AND EAGERLY WAITING FOR YOUR WORK 🙌🏻🔥!!! Love and appreciate you 😘, your ladies 🥰, your gorgeous renders/WP sets, and your game 😍! Whether you're still dealing with the Summer 😎🌞🏖🔥 (it's like a beautiful girl; HOT and keep playing with me 🤣) or in the Cold Winter 🥶❄⛄🧊 (my Southern Hemisphere people). Always stay hydrated, everyone. Stay safe, stay blessed, and stay in PERFECT health, beautiful people! Have an amazing and beautiful week! I'll catch you all—ON THE NEXT ONE ✌🏻😁!!!
"Always stay hydrated, everyone." You know... I always tend to drink much less water 🫗 when it's cold 🥶😄.
