Dev Update! 9/30/24
Hey friends, hope you're all doing well this week! Hopefully the hurricane/storms that swept up through the southeast corner of the US didn't affect any of you good folks. I caught a tiny bit of it here in the midwest, with some sections of my city losing power. But, I was fortunate enough not to have any real problems.
I'm happy to say that the shopping scene for Chapter 10 is officially complete, aside from a little touch-up I need to do for a handful of renders. Current render count stands right around 1030. I'm now working on Mason's big ero scene, which I hope to have finished within the next few days. Then there's a little bit of connective scene tissue I need to work on too. Basically, I just need a short scene (10-20 renders) of the player dropping off/picking Mason up from the optometrist, and then a 30~ render conversation scene transitioning from the Mason storyline, over into Gabby's content. Pretty sure I can knock both of those little sections out in a day.
Today I'm stuck at my day job, so I've been poring over the script, seeing if there's any improvements I could make. I always get this weird feeling of nervousness before I release a new chapter, and this time's no different. I remember that, when writing Brittani's photoshoot scene way back in Chapter 4, I was convinced I'd completely fumbled the whole thing, and everybody was going to hate it. On the contrary, I think it stands as one of the more highly-regarded scenes/chapters to date. But, there's always that little perfectionist voice in the back of my head whispering, "Better! Faster! More!"
Perfectionism aside, I'm feeling pretty proud of this one. It's bigger than I planned, and touches more characters than I intended to. But, I think it hangs together well as part of Guy's Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, and ultimately culminates in some things that will set up the next big phase of the story.
I'll be working hard to get it into your hands as soon as possible, but until then: take care of yourselves, and thank you for your support!

It's been my experience in writing that the truly great results come by complete accident, the good enough results come from meticulous planning, and the truly awful ones from "this is the best thing I've ever written! People are gonna love this!"
Oh for sure, I think there’s a lot of danger in over-working an idea, until you remove all the humanity from it.
So excited. Also curious if there will be some gender affirming outfit choices for Mason
Absolutely!
Mason looking good there, can't wait. Also- "It's bigger than I planned, and touches more characters than I intended to"- that's what she said

If you burn out we're just going to rebuild you. We have the technology. We have the capability to create the world's first bionic content creator. Better. Stronger. Faster.
I’ll be happy to have hands without carpal tunnel. 😝 (But also, feel free to add adamantium claws while you’re at it. 👀)
Any plans for Britt content in the near future?
This update has a scene with Britt! It’s mostly just teasing stuff, as you’re visiting her at her restaurant job and checking her out in her uniform. But, plenty of shots of cleavage and cheeks. 👀 And I plan to have her audition scene in Chapter 11, which will also feature Ashe and Isabella.
Mason so beautiful.😅Mason is my favorite is that her name there name in the first picture
That is indeed Mason. :D
Good...good...Mason and Gabby...CAN'T WAIT!
It's definitely been too long since we last saw Gabby!
