Hey, y'all! Pretty weird week, to be honest. One of those where it felt like I barely got shit done due to how animation heavy it was. SO! NUMBERS! WAHOO! We're finally at 1,500 images, and holy shit it was a grind to get there. I really miss 200 render weeks, and the good news is we'll probably be

Hey, y'all! SO! I finally figured out what had been causing some issues where opening scenes would insta-crash my computer, and it turned out to be a problematic shirt asset of all things. I genuinely felt like I was going insane trying to figure out if something had been corrupted or if God just di

Hey, y'all! Not much to say as it was a pretty terrible week productivity wise, but I guess the hot streak had to end at some point. I ran into a bit of a roadblock with the sports route as I have a pretty similar scene that touches on the same themes and subject as one in the music route, so I've b

Hey, y'all! Not much to say aside from the fact that I take back ALL I said about music route being my favorite. I forgot just how fucking SLOW saving scenes was in this mf. We ALL sports route enjoyers after this. Look at that zesty fella. Phenomenal. Anyway, after 300ish pain inducing renders I am

Hey, y'all! Pretty productive week, and back-to-back 200+ render weeks, which is cool. After finishing that Alyssa scene, I moved on to music route shenanigans. I know I shouldn't be biased as the developer, but they're probably my favorite scenes to work on, mainly because of how stupid they are an

Hey, y'all! This was supposed to be a happy dev update, but I forgot we're not allowed to have those. My goal was to finish a big scene involving Alyssa and reach 800 images posed and rendered, which seemed ambitious but doable at the time. I managed to get 2 out of those 3 tasks done, as the comput

Hey, y'all! Decent work week today. Unfortunately had to rewrite a bunch of my script which caused a minor delay, but aside from that, we ballin. I wish I had anything interesting to say, but I don't. Probably a good thing as it means things are going well. Numbers are now 580 images and 7 animation

Hey, y'all! So, last week I mentioned I was working on a Leslie scene, and it's been going GOOD! GREAT! EXCELLENTLY! SUPERBLY! Which is a very, very, very bad thing. I've just now realized how fucking massive her route is gonna be this chapter and it made me sick to my stomach. I'm tired of big upda

Hey, y'all! Boring ass week as I sort of went through the motions. I did get to animate, which was fun for a bit... until it wasn't. ANYWAY, I'M WORKING WITH LESLIE NOW SO NO MORE DEGENERATE ANIMATIONS, ONLY CUDDLING AND BLUSHING FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. Numbers are now up to 230 images and 7 ani

Our good ole Pick-A-Hoe tradition is back! You know the drill, tick your favorites and fight each other in the comments.

Hey, y'all! (Chapter 8 is now available to the All-Star tier! Go check that out if you haven't already!) This week was a really weird one. The first half felt extremely unproductive, as I have this really bad tendency of measuring my progress in renders, and I barely got any done. Instead, I chose t

Hey, y'all! In case you missed it, the release is now available for the Hall of Fame tier! Hopefully all of you who have played it had fun diving back into my bizarre creation. I got a good amount of feedback from it, as well as points I maybe need to emphasize more. I'm always open to improving the

Aha! I got bored of waiting so I released about an hour early. Gonna go get drunk and work on Chapter 9 renders now 'cause my ass is too slow to afford breaks. https://www.patreon.com/TakoYuh/posts/westview-academy-167212134

Aha! It is here! It features 6,025 renders, 213 animations, and somewhere in between the hungry caterpillar and the bible in terms of word count. PC (MEGA) MAC (MEGA) PC (GoFile) MAC (GoFile)

Westview Academy Chapter 8 is coming your way! Featuring over 6k images and 200 animations, it’s one meaty motherfucker and I am SO glad I don't have to go back and look the files for it anymore. Rockstar +: August 20, 2026 Hall of Fame: August 23, 2026 All-Star: August 30, 2026

Hey, y'all! The game is now in beta testers hands. Will announce release dates soon-ish. That's about it for this week. Stay safe, ily<3

Hey, y'all! So, instead of giving numbers imma just give you a rundown what is and isn't finished. Alyssa content - Rendered and tested✅ Athena content - Rendered but not tested Brooke content - Rendered, about 25% tested. Jordan content - Rendered, about 25% tested. June content - Rendered and test

Hey, y'all! Not much to say, but we're at 5,843 images, 205 animations, and REALLY FUCKING CLOSE TO RELEASE. All renders are done (posing-wise, still some in the queue waiting for the PC to render it), so now all efforts go to wrapping up the coding and sending the game over to testers. Might be thi

Hey, y'all! Still at the end stage, and mannnnnnnn, making an update of this size is such a pain. I've never taken this long to test and code stuff into the game. Worst part, is I apparently forgot to put a bunch of renders in the queue, so I don't notice they're missing until I'm testing a scene an

Hey, y'all! Numbers are now 5,680 images and 197 animations. I'm surprised by just how many renders I still have left. It's like every time I test a new scene it turns out my ADHD skipped a part when rendering because I either didn't feel like making it at the time or figured I'd deal with it later.

Hey, y'all! Knocking down some more scenes, this time it was June's route, which I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Some of my favorite looking stills and animations in this next update, so I'm excited for you guys to see it (seriously, please play June's route or I'll cry). The numbers are no

Hey, y'all! Blah, blah, blah, finished testing, rendering, and adding audio to Leslie's scene, but aside from that, things are still much the same, in a way. Still testing, still proofreading, still rendering, and still disappointed by how long this update has taken. Numbers are 5,540 renders, 184 a

Hey, y'all! Nothing exciting this week, just more testing, coding, and of course a mental breakdown or two. The usual. Like the title says, I've been playtesting Leslie's content, and created about 95% of the content for it, with the final 5% being easy stuff, so I'll probably finish it pretty quick

Hey, y'all! This one is a bit later than I usually like to post these, but I was locked in on fixing my dogshit writing and code all day, so writing this update just slipped my mind. Good news! I'm running out of stuff to render! Bad news! It means I'm close to reaching the finish line (for real thi

Hey, y'all! So, this week was boring as hell as I'm still on this June scene, testing the game, looking for music, and jumping to old scenes I forgot to render (unfortunately way more of these than I'd like to admit). Not much to report on aside from the fact that I'm still alive, the computers are

Hey, y'all! We had a pretty great start to the week, and got a good amount of work done, but unfortunately the developer of this game is named TakoYuh, so we couldn't possibly allow such a thing to continue. I ran out of script, so I had to dust off and wipe the rust off the gears that control the a

Hey, y'all! Went back and picked June's scene back up this week to see if I could wrap the whole thing up after previously working on it at a sluggish pace due to a lack of inspiration and motivation, or whatever. It's been going aight, and I actually like where I ended up taking the scene, but the

Hey, y'all! This week was pretty crazy, as I managed to hit all my goals and even do 2-3x the amount of work I usually get done, but I'm still facing an extremely annoying and inconvenient bottleneck... and that's my hardware. When I mention my numbers in these dev updates, I only count the stuff th

Hey, y'all! Still on my Sisyphus shit. Cursed to pose butt renders for eternity. Render count is currently sitting at 4,666 images, and 160 animations. Unfortunately the slow ass, hoe ass, trifling ass PC couldn't get all of the 250-ish scenes I posed fully rendered, so no ego boost via inflated num

Hey, y'all! This was perhaps the most filler episode coded week of all time. Not much worth talking about as I spent half the week building environments for this Thena scene I kept putting off for the whole dev cycle as I knew it'd be a pain to make (it was). Anyway, blah, blah, who cares. Where the

Hey, y'all! I've been on my beta tester shit and I am DYING. The game looks pretty and some scenes are cute, but I am 🤏THIS CLOSE🤏 to crashing out cos every time you fix a typo or change a line in Ren'Py, the sound channels restart, so I've been hearing the same 10 seconds of the same song for hou

Hey, y'all! I am FINALLY FREE from animating! Bad news is I immediately jumped into another scene I forgot also had a lewd scene, so after a short sprint with a good amount of still image work, back to animating I go. Normally this would mean I'd want to lock myself in my bathroom and cry, but my ne

Hey, y'all! Another boring ass week, but I guess that's a good thing as it means nothing crazy happened. Unfortunately for me, it was a week full of animation and staring at shaking cannons and dump trucks for 80 hours. Pure torture. Anyway, not much to say, so lemme get straight to what you probabl

Hey, y'all! You know what makes me slightly agitated? Having to re-render animations. You know what fills my brain with itchy scratchy stuffing when it should be full of sugar cookie dough? Having to re-render animations more than once. You know what makes me want to lock myself in a room and listen

Hey, y'all! Been a terrible week for me, if I'm being honest. Productivity has been shit, and scene fatigue is real. Currently working on a big ole scene that has hit the 400 render mark, and will likely be above 600. Pretty fucking massive. Anyway, no more bitching and complaining. Numbers are now

Hey, y'all! I don't know if any of you know this, but there's this thing called sleeping, and apparently it's actually really important. I recently found out about this after going most of the week barely sleeping, feeling like shit, and just not being as productive as I'd like. Worst part, is I act

Been a minute since I've done one of these polls, so I made this not only public, but multiple choice as well to switch it up a little. Go pick your favorites!

Hey, y'all! I just wanna start by saying I'm an idiot who needs to start checking my work schedule before I set goals for myself. My dumbass didn't know I had animation work coming up, so I couldn't render 200 images even if I worked 24/7 on them due to only being on a single PC and animations hoggi

Hey, y'all! Pretty uneventful week if I'm being honest. Lotta thuggin and posing what might be a top 3 scene visually in this release, and maybe in the whole game. I wasn't really planning on making this scene, but decided it would be fun to make, and a dope addition to the game, so you better fucki

Hey, y'all! The worst part about being incredibly locked in one week, is that it makes your normal weeks look like shit in comparison. This week I worked on three scenes and jumped between them whenever I got bored or encountered a minor inconvenience. Those scenes were Kat's usual mini-arc, June's/

Hey, y'all! I've been locked the FUCK in lately. So much so, that I'm gonna temporarily drop my self-deprecation gimmick for the week so I can talk my shit and pop my collar for a bit. I got 235 images, 1 animation, and even managed to fit a full day of RnR this week while I let shit render out. Sur

Hello, I will be presenting future development updates in a more formal and professional manner from this point forward. Current totals continue to show strong momentum. To date, the project includes 3,210 rendered images, 121 completed animations, and over 30,000 words of written content. These fig
