Willing Temptations v0.4.3 Anniversary
Willing Temptations v0.4.4 | Progress: 30%
I have a lot of things to tell you about this time around, so this will be the first time in a while that I update you on - not just on a single project -, but all that I'm doing and what I'm looking out to do as I've been gearing up the productions after my much needed break a while ago.
Let's do this in order.
Willing Temptations
So, good news is that v0.4.3 Anniversary will be available publicly in a couple of days. So, be on the look out on that if you haven't played it yet.
When it comes to the next update though, it's been going okay. Right now, there's about 70+ renders as I'm wrapping up the Vanilla Date portion, the beach scene, which will take this particular date lining up with the rest of the Date options. It will also have a lewd scene too.
After this, I will be working on the "Resort" section of the beach scene for the NTR Date.
Now, talking about this project generally, I want to finish the main story as soon as possible. So, I'm going to be locking down a route I'm gonna go for, based on the voting poll you all have voted on a while back. What does this mean?
That means I'm not gonna take forever to finish my game. If I was to move with the rate I was going, I probably will not be able to finish any of the date's main story this year. So, I've been doing a lot of calculations, a lot of reconsiderations, on what to do with Phase 3 of the game.
Finishing Phase 3 (Goal)
Classic NTR Date: v0.4.4 in May and v0.4.5 in June
Crazy Date: v0.4.6 in July and v0.4.7 in August
Classic Vanilla Date: Content on every update and finishes in v0.4.7 in August
The goal is finishing the entire Phase 3 in four months. That means 4 updates starting next month and to end the Phase in August. Will I be able to do it? We'll see.
Lasting Connections
Another good news is that the new update for LC is coming out next week in April 27, 2026.
I have finishes the majority of its renders and is moving on with its scripts. That said, there's a lot of renders I need to fix too, like the one you see above. Which is why I'm giving myself about a week to clean things up before releasing it.
I know you're not hyped about the update since there's no lewd scenes in it, and I'm not gonna tell you if it's worth the wait either. But that's just how it is, LC is playing the long game. In time, it will be something you wouldn't want to outright dismiss. There's a lot you can look forward to in LC, and I hope you'll be there when it arrives.
Expect updates on this game to start to roll faster after v0.2.4.
Other Projects
Lasting Connections and Willing Temptations are the only active projects I have right now, but I do have other projects that are either postponed or currently exploring in the background.
Project NLC
In December 2025, before I got Lasting Connections back from hiatus, I was considering an alternative main character for the game. It would have different story beats, different pacing, and it was pretty exciting to make, but it didn't feel like it's something I should make.
It's interesting because it is an alternative to LC, but if LC is not being made, then it would not be an alternative, and that's why it got postponed. It's a cool concept, but it's a talk for different time. Might not even see the light of day until LC is at a good place.
Project Polio
Polio from Willing Temptations? Yes.
In this game, you play as him. Quite a wealthy man, he is. Got a loving wife, and you know how he's been struggling about this trend with the Sharing things that are going on. That's what you know from WT, but this project actually explore a whole wider world outside of the lewds. It's exploring happiness, connections, a lot of things.
Because it's a big project much like LC, I postponed it. Maybe once LC has gotten to a point where it has a lot of lewd scenes, the story is at a nice place, I can then bring this one back.
Project Zombie
There's this man you meet in Willing Temptations called Roy, and believe it or not, he was supposed to be the main character of this other project I have. I know, WT has been collecting characters from my other projects like they're infinity stones.
But this one is actually quite interesting. It's a bit of a harem project and is designed just like WT and that it supposedly has a lot of NSFW content right away. It's not supposed to exist in the same universe as the other three projects I mentioned. I mean, it has zombies.
I couldn't work on this one even though it's a small project because I decided to focus on WT. Maybe when Phase 3 of that project is finished, I can bring the topic of this one back up.
Project Fantasy
Now, this one you never see. I make a lot of novels, regular ones, not visual novels. And the majority of them is fantasy genre. I have a harem project a while back, but postponed because it was too difficult to bring to life. And the one you see above is an NTR project that I'm currently exploring to see if it's possible to make.
The challenge when it comes to Fantasy genre is just having the right assets. The environments, the outfits, and if I'm being ambitious, the creatures, the magic, the swords.
I'm broke and I don't have a lot of skills, so there's many things going against me when it comes to making these projects.
I have been looking into RPG Maker lately, but I'm not sure if that's something you guys are into. It's not what I'm into, at least. I don't play a lot of this type of games, but it would fit fantasy games. so I'm going to try it out, and we'll see if it's good?
End Notes
So, you see I have a lot of things I want to work on. I'm constantly daydreaming about stuff, and I would often have them in writing. Many didn't even make it into concepting phase, but there's always something there waiting to be realized.
None of my projects are planned for super long development time. Thinking about it realistically, I'm just one person with limited time and lifespan, so I want to make the most of it by making all the things that I like. Not bound to a single project that will never be finished.
Right now, the closest one being Willing Temptations. There's bound to be an end to this game, and I want you guys to expect that to happen. When Phase 3 of that game is finished, I can look at it and say, "Oh, I finished my first project!"
Of course, there's Phase 4 and everything, and technically, by the time Phase 3 is done, it's not version 1.0, but I would consider the core of the game's content to be complete.
LC is probably a year away from that, but eventually, it will arrive there too. And by then, I have other projects that you can look forward to.
And that's about it. I think I've written a novel's chapter worth of words. Thank you for tuning into the 74th of development news. I hope you all are doing well. Have a great day, everyone.

I've seen too many developers add too much during the development process, making the game bloated and the development cycle excessively long, causing the developers themselves to lose their passion. I think creating multiple short and polished stories is a better way to maintain the developers' creative enthusiasm. So, keep it up!🤗👍
ok
