Release 15 | Status Update
A very productive week!
✅ I finished the entire module for Dale’s story and his new interactions in the alleys of Downtown.
✅Troy has been properly added to the gallery as a new secondary target.
✅The story at the Frathouse has moved forward; I’m finishing up the navigation screens so I can then complete the interior scenes for each room.
✅But what took the most work—and at the same time gave me the greatest sense of accomplishment—was the new feature called ScrapBook.
I spent days wrestling with the AI (which drives anyone crazy with its back-and-forth on the same topic), but I managed to get everything working the way I wanted.
And even more than that!
I didn’t want a simple diary… I wanted a complete and visually pleasing experience.
This is already a screenshot from the game… not a template. Everything there is already functional and thought out down to the smallest details.
Everything is well organized in alphabetical order, with navigation via tabs or arrows, and visual features for specific situations… I also paid close attention to usability.
▶Want to stick to just one path (slave or love) and not see empty frames from other paths?
OK. You can choose whether you want to see all possible achievements or just the ones you’ve earned.
▶ Want to start from scratch—really from scratch—without keeping any save data from past games?
No problem… on the “Start New Game” screen, the game automatically detects if you have any save files, and you can choose whether to keep them or delete them completely.
▶ Did you first play the slave path… loaded an old save, and are now playing the lover path… and think the memories of this new path are better?
No problem… now you can choose whether to keep the old memory or swap it for the new one.
▶ Do you like to play one story at a time and want the diary to open directly to a specific page for that man?
Easy... just click “Set as Home,” and from then on, whenever you open the diary, it’ll go straight to the page you chose. No need to switch between tabs or search for the person you want.
▶ And yes… if you click on the images in the memory album, they open in a larger size, so you can… better recall that moment. 😎
In other words… I tried to make this album a hub for memories of everything you’ve done up to that point.
Right now, I’m reviewing all the stories and adding their memories and texts.
As you can imagine, it’s a huge task. I have to think about every key moment, every variation in the story, and which scenes are worth mentioning.
And as if that weren’t enough, I also need to duplicate everything, including a feature for those who already have old saves and are well into the story.
In those cases, when you enter the journal for the first time, all the memories of what you’ve already played will be loaded.
Yes… it’s a massive amount of work to make sure nothing gets left behind.

Fantastic!!!! Can't wait to go back to the frat! It'd be nice if at some point, Hunter can take other guys to the frat house, but only the younger ones, such as Isaiah, Danny Boy, those Skaters, maybe Hector! Back to college!
I can't wait any more!
When it releases
I can't give an exact date yet
I want to play this can u add new character and. Fire extinguisher man that second mini game i can't win 😔
Here on this Patreon page, there's a post with step-by-step instructions on how to beat that game. Ethan's walkthrough. Basically, it's a memory game. You have to memorize the order in which the fire appears and repeat it.
How big will be the total size after this update 😭
This whole scrapbook feature and the other changes to the game have practically no effect on the file size. It's all just code... only a few KB in file size. The images that will appear in the scrapbook are the game’s existing images, just displayed differently. What will increase, of course, are the images for the new scenes featuring Dale, Frathouse, Luke, etc... but they’ll probably take up less space than a normal release. I plan to release a “light” version of the game soon, with lower-resolution images, for those who have issues with its size. Then people will be able to choose between downloading the game in higher or lower resolution.
Whoa this is really good, wish in the future we can make them going to the gym more or feeding them. like make them more muscular or fatty depending on the choice (i know that gonna need a massive work XD)
Is choosing one memory the only option, or can you keep both? Current reading seems to imply having to choose only one or the other to keep - not both.
Just one memory for each of the 15 selected milestones. It's not a photo gallery; it's a record of achievements.
Holy, you really go all out
