Dev Update! 7/28/26

Hey, friends! Hope you’re all well this week! Personally, I’m feeling pretty good! Why? Well, because Ch15 is finally in a stable build, and available for PC, Mac, or Android!

Friends Indeed: Ch15 Beta Changelog

• The complete Chapter 15.

• 594 images.

• Multiple endings.

• Additional content for Chapter 14: Adds a spanking scene as well as additional ero options during doggystyle for Gabby’s ‘friend’ path.

• Additional content for Chapter 14: three new 'daydream' options during Guy's shower scene, adding Glory, Lane, and Noelle.

To-Do:

• Finish the interminable speaking portrait function I’ve been screwing with all month.

• Add GUI to several images, for greater verisimilitude.

So, still remaining on my to-do list are two things I’ve previously talked about. I’ve been banging my head against the wall all month, trying to find a more elegant way to code the changing headshots/portraits for characters. I think I’ve finally been forced to accept that the way I was doing it was in fact the easiest/most elegant way, so.. Heck.

And I didn’t have time to finish adding the GUI to some images for Ch15, with all the other stuff I had on my plate. But! From difficulty comes opportunity – for you! Spoilers for Ch15: There’s a scene where the player can convince Cutiedoll to livestream some spicy content to her existing fans, who are accustomed to some far less X-Rated material from her. That’s where you come in! If you’d like to volunteer a comment and username for the onscreen chat during that scene, post it in the comments below, and it might just make it into the game! I’ll give priority to supporters, but everyone’s welcome!

I’ll be working to get those ready for the next version of Ch15, which will hopefully be the final build. The release schedule is as follows, by supporter tier:

• $15 - Available now!

• $5 - August 7th.

• $2 - August 11th.

• Public Release - August 14th.

As always, if you were subbed at the $15 level for June or July, and cancelled your subscription before the update was available, just shoot me a message. I’ll be happy to send you a download link, once I’ve confirmed your subscription status.

I’ve also posted Carolina’s short story in the pinned post, available to the public for the first time. It’s available in EPUB and PDF, and the synopsis is as follows: The Heavy Things She Carried: EPUB ||| PDF Desperate and out of options, Carolina finds herself deep underground, surrounded by the private appetites of wealthy men.

I’ve also cleaned up the list of most recent releases in the pinned post, highlighting the Ch15 Beta for easy access.

So, now that the first two installments of S2 are basically complete, here are my priorities for the next few weeks:

• Prep the release of a new demo for Ch16. I’m already 30-some images into it, and I want to get that out for $15+ supporters this month. It’s pretty short, but it’ll give you a little taste of what’s to come.

• Finish the image edits for Cutiedoll’s scene in Ch15.

• Finish the portrait system for S2.

• Take my PC apart and replace some parts.

• Write up an FAQ post, to place in the pinned post.

• Write up a post detailing some of the changes that’ll be coming to this place, and the game as a whole, based on some of the current realities of making adult visual novels. I’ll also use this to discuss some of my plans for the next year or so.

• Freshen up the GUI for S1 and S2, cleaning up the main and in-game menu, fixing the save naming system, etc.

Will I succeed in all this? Will I lose my mind? Will I tear myself away from my responsibilities to go see the new Spider-Man movie while it’s still in theaters? The future is unclear! But, let’s wait and see what happens.

Until then, as always: take care of yourselves, and thank you for your support!
