Willing Temptations v0.4.1 | Progress: 70% > Release Date: January 26, 2026

If you have missed it, v0.4 is now available to all supporters, including the hotfix version as well. It's not a super big update, but it was a needed one.

Alright, onto the news.

Let me clear up something in case you saw previous dev news and wondering, wait, v0.4.1 wasn't released yet? It did as v0.4, making this a different update now.

First, I'd like to talk about the story of WT in the game, it's not much, and I'm not gonna shove LC-scale of story down your throat because neither you or I came here for that. But it' s quite painful that I have glossed over some details that could benefit the game.

So, we're adding a very short scene to WT in the beginning, sort of setting up the game's premise of... well, NTR. It's going to introduce a new character as well, and it's a good setup to open up more scenes to be possible in the future as well.

Now, I'm an old school kind of NTR fan. I know people nowadays are into the NTS-style of the genre, and I may have said that there are elements of that as well here in WT with the whole crazy date thing and the fact that the MC himself ask his wife to mess around.

You just have to know and understand that I'm more into the plain old NTR.

In Vanilla, you can't avoid the topic of cheating cause the game is literally about a cheating wife if it's not obvious enough from the thumbnail or main menu picture of the game. You can disable NTR path, but you cannot disable NTR out of the game. And in the future, NTR path is not just about Lexi messing around with other men.

Why am I saying all this though? What's it got anything to do with me being an old school?

You people have expectations, and there's a lot of you. Which I'm thankful of, by the way. I can't cater to everyone of you as we all have different preferences to things. If you give me ideas, what you want to see from this project, and if I put it in the game, it will be closer to what I wanted to see instead of how you envision it.

I'm not gonna be speedy about it, and it's going to take time, better things take longer time. If you can't afford to give me any, you'll be disappointed regardless.

Now, there was this NTR game called Project Short Tales, it has been long abandoned now. But I remember playing it back in the day, and it took place on a beach.

So, that's where we're going with Classic Date in v0.4.1. The Beach!

It's right after the lunch scene with Lexi, and will feature an interracial scene.

Also, I already posted what Lexi is gonna wear. Check the previous post.

And good news. The renders are already done, and I'm confident in getting it out the door for you in January 26, 2026. Less than a week from now.

It's a very short update, as you can probably tell.

I also have figured out how to change the font color on the dialogue when you make the box shows up. So, you can have the white text when you hide it, and you can have the default one when you click on the Show Box.

Obviously, it's not the default without the outline, so it looks quite strong. I'd say it beats having the visibility jittery with the white text though. I still haven't figured out how to turn it back to default, and I do want this box as an option rather than just outright disabling it entirely. So, this is the compromise for now.

There's also going to be adjustment to the Auto forward feature, bringing it it to the correct pace, and it's gonna apply to the text speed too, if you don't adjust it manually. The next version of the game, though, will have the proper default settings applied.

Another thing someone mentioned is being able to name save files. I haven't looked into it yet, but I will. Having it as a toggle as it was being suggested is a great idea.

You know, a lot of NTR games that I used to play have mostly been abandoned. That scene with Dorothan was inspired by a game of which its creator no longer make ntrgames anymore.

But what about Willing Temptations, will it suffer the same fate?

I've mentioned this before, the funding for Phase 3 of WT has been reached thanks to your support. I have all the necessary stuff I need, and I will gradually complete it. So, the excess is currently being saved for Phase 4 of the project. I actually saw a very good deal on second hand GPU that I could use, and just a couple more months, I will be able to afford that as well. I'm sure it'll speed things up tremendously. I hope the deal will still be there by then.

And please, don't be too troubled for not financially supporting the project. You trying it out, spreading the word is more than enough. So, thank you, for being here.

I intend to finish Phase 3 this year. I'll drag myself out from whatever I'm doing if I'm slacking on it. You got my word.

I know it's been a long read already, but I still got more to talk about.

Like, Crazy Date. Slowly, I'm working to get those renders with Polio, Lexi, and MC, together in a date like it was in the Classic Date. It'll be an interesting segment, I'm not sure if I can squeeze that content in v0.4.1, but I'm gonna try.

What I want to talk about next is the future of WT, if you read the walkthrough/guide, then you'll see me mentioning "Continuance" a lot. It's Phase 4 stuff, but it's still relevant here.

Date ends in Phase 3, if you got premature endings, well, valentine already ends there as well. But there is stuff that comes after that. Regular continuance like Dorothan's, Roy's, Ten's, will allow you to contact them later in Phase 4.

And there's Special Continuance, which you find in the premature endings. It'll be a sort of, secret unlockables for post-credits scene later on. It'll be a separate thing from Phase 4, so it's possible for them to show up in v0.4.x when I get the chance to work on them.

I know it's not a secret when I talk about it now, but you'll forget about it when the thing actually shows up. And I'll remind you of it again later.

Also, if you are interested in supporting the project further, and just making it faster for things to progress. I have published a new Patreon Tier. It's very expensive, so again, not for everyone, and it is a limited-run tier for Phase 3 / v0.4.x of Willing Temptations.

The gist is that you can request for a scene that you have in mind for Willing Temptations, and I'll make it happen. The details are on the membership page, if you are interested.

But alright, I think that's the lengthiest dev news I've ever written so far. Thank you for tuning into the 61st of development news. I hope you all are doing well, have a great day, everyone.
