Dev Update! 5/6/25

Hey, folks! Hope you're all doing well this week!

I've been collecting feedback for Chapter 1's remake, and I've been pretty happy with the reactions so far. There's some stuff I'll miss from the original, and stuff I wish I could've worked into the new Chapter 1, but just couldn't find the space for. But, overall I'd call it a success.

Moving on! I put out a short text story featuring Isabella Bellino, perhaps better known as "Brittani's mom," exploring her life some ten(ish) years prior to the beginning of our story. It's available to all subscribers, beginning at $2 -- but I'll be unlocking it and adding it to the main, sticky'd post in a month or so (longer if nobody reminds me..)

Finally, work is still ongoing to integrate the new Chapter 1 with the following Chapters 2-10. I'm working to untangle the mess that is Chapter 7 aka Ashe's Date, labeling things to make it easier to track her relationship, and attitude towards the player by the end of said date. So far so good, but.. Ugh. Tedious.

I'm also working to add a little bit of extra connective tissue between Chapters 1 and 2, which more clearly lays out Guy's journey from that fateful night with Nicki, to forming his charity, to becoming the more well-rounded and confident person he is when we meet him months later, at the start of Chapter 2. This adds a small scene (with some ero material) where we see Guy in Brazil -- an event previously alluded to in Chapter 4. Then, a small scene with Callie Chen of Chen's Convenience, which leads into the original opening of Chapter 2, where Guy meets Ashe.

After that, it's back to work on Chapter 11, targeting a release date for July.

That's all I've got for you today! As always, thanks for being here, take care of yourselves, and thank you for your support!
