• Willing Temptations v0.3.1 | Progress: Scripts 75% > Renders 40% > Release

Alright, I've been making some major progress towards the updates of both projects, and you know, I got some stuff to share about their next additions.

First up is Willing Temptations.

At first, its concept started out as Vanilla and NTR, and then Vanilla, Light NTR, and Heavy NTR, and then phase 3 comes around with "dates", making stuff really complicated. Although not really much has changed to the structure of the game, the presentation could use some work.

My first step is making some tweak to "Phases" from the one you're seeing down below. You know, where choices converged to continue to the next scene.

No content will be removed, it's just the transitioning scene in-game will be seamless. No weird cutout when moving to the next phase.

Second step is a more focused content delivery. I've started this with v0.3 where I solely focus on one date instead of all three at once and deliver it to you. With v0.3.1, I'm going to be focusing again solely on Crazy Date on Phase 3 at the bottom side.

Third step is throwing my original plan for Phase 3 into the abyss, and let it rise anew... as "Ending Routes" 💀 🪦🪦🪦

The project is planned from the ground up to have multiple endings, and its content varied based on the decision you make. It can be Vanilla, it can be NTR, whatever you choose to experience from dialogues made available to you.

So, what did I mean by throwing away my original plan? The game was supposed to have Phase 4 and 5 (final) and the game span across multiple days after the "Dates" in Phase 3, but recently, I started to work more on the game than usual, and it kinda reminded me again that I'm just a one-man team. The scope of the project was getting bigger with each update.

But with that said, what's the new plan?

You're gonna love this more. Quantity wise, it's less than my original vision of phases, but it's more in line with my original vision of the project, and that it is a valentine day. The whole project is set in this one single day, and what comes after that? An Ending.

This will bring the scope of the project down a lot and make it manageable for me to work on.

Obviously, I'm still working on adding Crazy Date route in v0.3.1, so I will not be able to work on any of the endings just yet. But once I do, you will be able to vote on it.

The upcoming update will also bring about a few new things. Such as consistency patch on the dialogues involving MC's and Lexi's bed life history, some improvement for one-handed playthrough on both PC and android, and separating unavailable project's script to avoid spoiling on future content for you... again.

As for the release of v0.3.1 of Willing Temptations, I'm aiming for later this month.

Okay, so how about Lasting Connections v0.2.1?

Well, I have good news for you! The renders are pretty much done, BUT after my recent post on Twitter, I feel like I should at least do a lewd scene after all. It's gonna feel like things are a little too fast for it to make sense though, like how it did with Velvet. However, just like how it did in Velvet, you can just choose not to engage with it. There's no harm in it.

So, yeah! I'll be adding a lewd scene for Vilvie's interaction, gonna be short, but it'll be there in v0.2.1 sometime next week. And even though it's unlikely that there's gonna be a delay, I'll let you know if something do comes up.

Alright, that's all for the 42nd development news. Still working hard on these projects, and I'm doing well myself, so I'm hoping that you are doing even better than I am. Have a great day, everyone. Take care!
