Dev Update! 3/10/25

Hey, hey folks! Hope you're all having a great week! I spent most of today feeling a little off, only to realize -- daylight savings time struck again, and I lost an hour of sleep. Womp, womp.

On the progress front, rendering work for Chapter 1’s remake is ongoing. Not much to report yet, but I’m still working on getting a new teaser/demo build together. I’d hoped to have it done yesterday, but I think I'll need a few more days. Sorry about that! For the Close Friends, I promise it’s coming, and I really appreciate your patience. The good news? It'll have a bit more content than I originally planned, so hopefully the wait will be worth it.

Working on the spicy scenes with this version of Nicki (and MC!) has been a lot of fun. One thing that never sat quite right with me in the original Chapter 1 was how Nicki and MC/Guy only got together after he got in better shape and moved into a nice condo. That was mostly a result of me keeping things concise back then. But now? I don’t have those same constraints. I can be a little more indulgent and let different branches of the story play out naturally.

So, in this new version, they can potentially hook up in Guy’s twin bed -- while he’s still rocking that spare tire around his waist. For those who enjoy the true love/romance path, I think it makes things a little sweeter and more sincere, seeing Nicki accept our hero exactly as he is.

That said I do have one concern: This version of Nicki is just cute as a button. If I got a lot of hate mail before for ‘ruining’ her with tattoos and a new haircut, I might be in for the pitchfork-and-torches treatment this time. :'D Perils of being a smut peddler, I suppose.

That’s it from me today! Take care of yourselves, and as always, thank you for your support!
