July Week 5 Progress report

Hey everyone! Big week. Here's an update on how development has progressed over the past week.

— J's Work Notes —

✅ Done so far

Dana talks now

• She has her own dialogue channel in the system log — soft pink, outlined text, so her lines read like her and not the narrator.

• Around 85 new lines — every one written by hand and localized in all 5 languages, with variations mixed in so she doesn't repeat herself: obeying orders (her tone shifts with obedience — from a grudging "...fine" at low levels to full "yes, master" territory at the top), refusing orders, and reacting to your hands — accepting them or pushing them away, again scaling with how tamed she is.

• During ongoing acts — the vibe, each flavor of her "solo work", and sex — her lines shift as arousal and climax build. She sounds very different at the edge than she does at the start.

• Climax lines, and rage-quit lines: when she finally snaps and storms off, what she says depends on how far you'd broken her in.

• Timing pass on all of it — touch reactions land the instant your hand moves, and during ongoing acts she speaks just ahead of the narration, so it reads like her voice leads the scene.

Log & input

• Strict message ordering — the response to your command always prints first, then scene description, then her state, then session events. Output speeds up automatically when a lot is happening, and long two-line messages no longer overlap.

• Refusals now print exactly what they cost you — the stat changes show right in the log.

• Input lockout tied to the log — commands stay locked until the messages catch up, so fast clicks can't misfire or skip past text.

• A proper session-start line, and the wait command now ticks out little progress lines while time passes.

• A flavor-text rewrite pass over the log — lines that read too dry got rewritten with proper heat, across all 5 languages.

Juice pass

• Pose-change and touch-impact bounce, guests fading in/out as they move, outfit-change fades, and the transparency toggle so you can see guests behind the characters.

• Command menu cursor — a minor bug with selected entry (highlight and all) now fixed

Sound

• The SFX pass is actually in-game now — I spent a good chunk of the week prepping the full sound set and wiring it all up: per-command sounds with her reaction layer on top (obeying, straining and refusing each have their own voice), wet loops for her "solo work" (and for yours), sex audio in three escalating speeds, licking, cumshots, guest footsteps, and a few I'd rather let you discover yourself.

• Two brand-new BGM tracks made for this minigame — the music now crossfades through three tension tiers as the room's suspicion rises, from a calm jazzy groove to something much more nervous, with crowd-murmur ambience layered on top.

• A satisfying clock-roll sound as the timer winds down — made that one this week too.

• A dedicated slot for her climax voice, ready for recording.

Expressions & guests

• Expression rotation is in — her face cycles every few seconds while she's being toyed with or busy with herself. (Placeholder faces for now; final art in production.)

• The guest reaction overlay is wired up — shock, heavy breathing, grinning and more on the guest being served.

• New rage-quit expressions, per pose.

Systems

• Work-quota penalty — slack off too much and you lose reception access for days; borderline days give you a risky "push her anyway" coin flip.

• Focus stat (3 stages) — distractions now genuinely slow her work, with visible tells when her mind is elsewhere.

• Auto re-dressing — leave her be for a few turns and she'll shyly pull her clothes back on, one piece at a time. Keeping her busy prevents it.

• The finger commands are now three distinct actions — slipping in, a long teasing torment, and pulling out — each with its own animation.

• A first-visit tutorial popup (fully localized) so new players know what the front desk is really for.

• Bug hunt: a guest who'd caught on to her could get stuck never approaching the counter, guests ignoring her even at max suspicion, her staying "hard at work" in poses where working is physically impossible — all dead now, along with a few friends.

With all of that in — coded, hooked up in-engine, and playtested — the Dana receptionist minigame is officially at ver. 1.0!

For the demo, the minigame gets its own separate scene with her obedience level capped at 20 — merging that into the main game is the next job on the list.

What's next

• The demo build is targeted for around August 10, and that's what we're working toward right now.

• Between now and then, we'll be producing the promo materials — the main image by me, and description images by Hiro for the store page — alongside story revisions, in-game visual effects, and porting the voice lines and sound effects into the game.

• Once the demo ships, work shifts to the rest of the main game in parallel with the PV (promo trailer) production.

📖 One story note

I think the timeline of the massage parlor series will click into place once you play the main story — but here's one thing I'd like to share now: Arin's story begins at a point roughly midway between the Massage my Ex-bully and the TTMP Mari's story.

— Hiro's Work Notes —

Hey everyone! This week (week 4 of July) I finished up the camera item system, and also implemented the ruler system along with the rest of the consumable items.

1. Wrapped up the remaining camera system work

- Photo save/delete system — When a photo is sold, I don't delete the file right away — instead it just gets flagged as sold and hidden from the UI, with the actual file deletion happening at save time. This means if you load an older save, photos that hadn't been sold yet will be properly restored. We also made sure that when saving to multiple slots, each slot gets its own independent copy of the PNG files, so photo data doesn't get mixed up between slots.

- Made the photo album icon

- Translation — Japanese, English, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese

2. Ruler system — an item that unlocks entries in Arin's Measure (Erosute) stats

UI & animation

- Made the targets that appear when using the ruler

- Made the image that shows the measurement area when hovering over a target

- Made measuring animations (broken down by body part and areola/nipple state)

Coding

- When the ruler is used, the correct targets are shown based on current pose, underwear state, and areola/nipple state

- If there's nothing left to measure, a message shows up in the center of the screen

- Hovering over a target smoothly shows the image for the measurement area assigned to it

- Clicking a target plays the measuring animation for that body part

- Once measured, the corresponding info gets unlocked, with a log entry confirming it

- Handled mutual exclusivity between camera and ruler modes, plus mode switching

3. Implemented the remaining items

Added the rest of the usable consumable items besides the camera and ruler.

- Sorted out the use logic and inventory display order for items like Onoramin C (restores stamina) and Arousal Aroma (buff effect).

4. Refined variable changes across actions

- Went back and refined variable changes for actions that had previously only been handled roughly. Broke things down further based on the massage area, Arin's current state, trust level, and skill tree, and also factored in variable changes from using special items like the camera and ruler.

Before the demo release, I've still got work to do on things like H status, the skill tree, multi-language support, lobby interactions, animation fixes, and more. August is looking like it'll be a busy one, but we'll keep pushing hard to live up to everyone's expectations!
