Chapter 14.1 Status Report (1)
Hi everyone! Sorry for the reduced frequency of status updates, but as I mentioned before, this week and next I’m in the middle of moving to another country. The relocation, paperwork, and getting settled are taking up quite a bit of my mental (and physical) energy.
That said, and now that Chapter 13 is wrapped up, I’m continuing work on the next chapter.
Aside from the challenges of moving, this part of the story has proven to be a bit tricky for several reasons, the main one being the need to carefully determine and structure the key events, scenes, and narrative developments that will take place.
As you already know, this chapter will focus on Lena and the Billy event.
The tricky part, beyond the complexity of all the possible narrative states (player choices, character relationships, etc.), is deciding which scenes to include, how to present them, and in what order.
There’s a lot of potential here and many ideas floating around, but I have to be very selective about what makes it in and what doesn’t, or the development could drag on forever.
Condensing has never been my strongest skill, and I know there are high expectations for this chapter, so I really want to make it count.
My goal is to include the most meaningful and satisfying scenes I can, while using them to push forward the core narrative threads we’ve been building throughout the story.
While I keep wrestling with the script and story structure, I’ve been making progress on the visual side of things, selecting and commissioning several illustrations that I’m pretty confident will make it into this chapter.
Settling on which pictures to use and what new ones to create is also taking up quite a bit of mental space, since each illustration requires a significant investment of time and resources.
Aside from my colorist, I now have an artist helping out with simpler drawings. She handles the body sketches, while I, as always, take care of the character faces.
Get ready for some seriously spicy photo shoots!

I'm very excited about this update, it's been on my mind for a long time. I can see why it'll be a trickier one than the others. There's a lot of paths that you have to take into account here with Lena relationships. The only one thing I wish is that there will be a few ways to handle the Lena/Ian relationship dynamic (if they're together). It's clear that this photoshoot is going to get wild. Maybe there could be an option for Ian to be more firm and cautious about this trip and Lena will have to respect their relationship and stay away from crazy stuff. Of course she could also cheat. For the cuck dynamic, I kind of hope there's two different options - a 'hard cuck' where Lena actively humiliates Ian and sends him texts/pics and a 'soft cuck' where Lena gets his permission to do whatever she wants with his encouragement without the humiliation aspect. Definitely could be tricky with so many relationship flags. This update has potential to have some really hot scenes and hopefully there's a way you could make it work for every relationship dynamic so everyone can experience these scenes if they really want.
any thought on taking the cuckold scenes to the next level? maybe some Bi content?
Will there be BBC content? Please say yes
Yes
whats the scope of the project as in how many total chapters? I saw it was in full release on patreon? Am I incorrect?
The game, according to its steam page, is supposed to have around 18 chapters.
DAMN... Lena looks amazing! Can't wait to play the new update! 🥵
I’m hoping for some Lena and Ivy scenes, love them together:)
Is there a full Stan / Lena oriented story update planned?
I second this!
I hope you feel good in the new Country.
Thanks for the info. I hope your move goes well! Lena looks very nice there. I want to further acknowledge the complexity of your work, especially in this coming update as I say this: I believe this would be a great update for Alison. She has shown interest in being filmed and photographed and could be invited to the photoshoot. She expresses continued dissatisfaction with her job and might want to explore other work options. Alison can have had previous sexual liaisons with Jeremy and Billy. It could make for very hot scenes at the house and for sexting with Ian later. Moreover, I see Alison’s attending the photoshoot working with an Alison who is not involved with Ian, an Alison who is friends with benefits with Ian, and an Alison who is in a relationship with an Ian supportive of her bimbo interests. Great game as usual. Good luck with development and your move.
Hopefully the move is for good reasons so congrats on almost being done with that weight on your shoulders.
Personally I'm hoping to be able to send Ian some photos of Lena with other guys. Ian's cuck/no sex route is my favorite right now, and it would awesome to explore more with that. Also don't know if it would be this patch, but I'm hoping Arthur from GGGB will be able to corrupt Lena further! It was kind of hinted at in the last lingerie photoshoot. Either way, I'm excited to see what you have planned!
You know it would be interesting if there was to be some risk/reward similar to the pool party in GGGB. Billy is trying to gain fame so I can imagine he might post to socials, would be fun if Lena had to be mindful not getting too close with too many people or risk whomever her partner(s) are seeing it all.
I'm very excited about the new chapter! ⚜️
I'm personally hoping this chapter is when we'll be able to cut more loose with Lena - if we want to of course - ideally there's fun content for players who don't want to play Lena as too promiscuous too. One point I want to bring forward, you have spent some time, especially in the beach chapter, letting Lena have varying backgrounds, her lust one being quite slutty. I think it would be great if we could finally play Lena like that too and not just have that side of her referenced. This party is a bit of an unknown quantity but I hope it will be a chance to have some interactions outside the regular group of characters. I hope to be able to explore Lena's sexuality, both her bisexuality, her kinks and her promiscuous tendencies, depending on her personality. I hope that she can throw caution to the wind. The other times Billy had popped up has been when drugs and alcohol was involved, so I imagine many are expecting those elements to play a role too, though I hope they won't be required for sexual content, at least not for lustful background Lena. In general I hope any possible options for sexual content aren't needlesly restrictive, regardless of who Lena is seeing or not. If you can nail some of that I would be very impressed and satisfied.
Oh also, glad to see Lena in a swimsuit again too! I was very disappointed we were not allowed to play her POV during the beach event. Hopefully we'll get plenty of "attention" :D
Keep up the good work, can't wait to see what lesbian scenes are included in this chapter
