Willing Temptations v0.4.4 | Progress: 10%

Missed the news on our new chat group? Willing Temptations v0.4.3 Anniversary is now accessible to all supporters, so go check it out now. It got both NTR and Vanilla content too. It's pretty cool. So, if you've been waiting a while, might be a good time to be back.

Now then, onto the news!

You all, or rather, the majority of you have decided on the Voting Poll from a while back that you want the Classic NTR Date to be continued in v0.4.4, and I'm going to deliver on that.

But first! Just so you know, I have only just got back from resting and is still gearing up on the development on this project, and also, the other project of mine as well. With v0.4.4 of WT is going to be a big one, you're gonna have to wait a bit longer on this.

That said, I did make some pretty good progress so far, getting about 40 renders in on Crazy Date and Classic Vanilla Date content. I think it's gonna take about a week to finish these parts before I get to work on Classic NTR Date.

It'll be really cool if we do a back-to-back update like two months ago with both LC and WT getting an update, but here's the thing, I'm not gonna force it out, alright?

I want you guys to have a good time with each update. Hearing you enjoyed v0.4.3 Anniversary, it honestly makes me really happy. I'm going to do what I can on v0.4.4 as we are going back to the main story of the game, to explore the polarizing scenario of what would happen if you got tempted by what's on offer.

Let me preface this by saying that working on this game is overwhelming at times. I'm tackling branching paths and three separate scenarios that could happen in the game.

Been thinking long and hard on how to approach this.

I wanted to do something bigger for the vanilla story, but I have no way in putting it into the game because of the setting being set on a single day. I'm not talented writer, nor am I a good one, so I'm lacking the skill at the moment to do it right. Maybe that "something" is something I can explore someday, but for now, it's just a no-story kind of story, you know how it is.

I'm going to keep it linear on Classic Vanilla Date, almost like a kinetic novel. The kind that don't have a lot of branching choices. I think it would do better for this sort of content. Lewd stuff, I will always give you options, of course.

MC and Lexi have been struggling to keep the fire in their marriage lit. If you've played the Vanilla route's anniversary, well, you got a peek on how things were before this whole thing.

I think I want to keep the story close at heart. Something small they do to keep the candle of that marriage stays lit, something MC can do by himself other than "seeking help" from someone, if you know what I mean :3

Hoping I'm not being too corny right now...

Now, on the other end of the spectrum is the NTR story. My brain kind of switches off when it comes to this, so all I'm thinking about telling you right now is what's gonna happen at the "Resort" in the upcoming update. When it comes to NTR, you know Lexi gonna be messing around, but the question is who she's gonna be with?

A few things you gotta know. There is a separation between less important characters and major characters, but they are being used differently when it comes to this.

Major characters such as Dorothan and Polio got extensive content on them. Phase 1 is all Dorothan, Phase 3 can be Polio if you choose Crazy Date.

But wait a minute, what about Roy, Ten (waiter), and Belly/Sally? I thought you said the main story is gonna be over by the end of the valentine date, and they only showed up once?!

So short too, so what's up with that?

The answers is Phase 4. They don't feel like major characters because their content is not IN the valentine date, but after. So, you won't be seeing them until then.

Which means Phase 3's NTR date, the attention is on the less important characters. The guy you see at the beach being among them, he got one more interaction coming up and that'll be in the v0.4.4 of the update, and the plan is putting it out complete. All the interactions and choices you and Lexi can make with him - it's not going to be a lot - but it will all be there.

But first I'm gonna have to work on the scrips sooo, that'll be it for the 72nd development news, y'all. I hope you're having a good time, healthy and all. Have a great day, everyone.
