Lawhorn Well, there's absolutely nothing wrong with a developer taking their time with things. Too many times have I seen something rushed, and the overall quality suffers for it. Or worse, seen independent developers simply burn themselves out on their work. I do not mind one bit :)

dimhaku What version is being released?

March 30, 2015 03:13:19 · Reply

Splendid Ostrich Version 0.3.0. Of course there's more improvements that can be made around pregnancy, but I think there's enough there for a first release, and I'll put together a list of future changes as a candidate for the 0.5 vote.

MadisonX Argh something was wrong with my account, I've fixed it now so my pledge should have processed....sorry about that. Would it be possible to have the message resent now that I have fixed the issue?

March voting choices - last call!

Hello everyone, and thank you so much for your support this month! I'll be starting the vote on the first milestone reward soon. That'll be a new sex scene - or a similarly-sized erotic scene of some kind anyway. If there's any scenes you want to see added, then you can suggest them here, as long as you get them in before I send out the voting choices. Any patron can suggest a scene, but obviously only people who successfully pledged at voter-tier will get to vote. I already posted about this last month, and of course I'll be using any suggestions from that post as well. I figured it'd be useful to make another post so patrons who joined recently would get the notification and have a chance to get their suggestions in. I'll post again once the vote starts. That will probably be within a week.

Mugunghwa I'd suggest something with the mugger. Sure, he might be a bit smelly, but maybe he has a reason for robbing you? It would be nice being able to get to know him better. :p

Splendid Ostrich Haha, I think the mugger can go without any sexy fun for now. Maybe one day I'll put something in where you can rehabilitate him through the caring application of repeated violence, but until then...

IlyaMerian "there could be a scene where the player sits in their partners lap and has sex that way" I like this one. It's never made sense to me, but it happens to me a lot. Staying in with the BF, and we watch our favourite movie together. He kisses me during it, and somehow we end up standing and against a wall, instead of on the sofa. Just a thought. ;)

Splendid Ostrich I've sent the messages with the voting choices, so the window has closed for any further suggestions. There's more options for this vote than there were for the last one though, so thanks to everyone who put forward an idea :)

Thanks for voting everyone! Friendship won the vote and will be the 0.4 update. The next vote will be for what to do for the first milestone reward. I want to start that early next month - probably within a week or so.

First milestone reached!

Hi all, I hope you all had a great weekend! Thanks to your support we've reached the first milestone goal. My plan with that is to run a vote at the beginning of next month to decide what new scene will be added. If there's a scene that you want to put forward as a candidate for voting then either message me or post it here in a comment. Because this will be an additional scene to the main development plan, you can suggest ones that aren't part of the core dev plan - for example, anal sex. I reserve the right to veto any suggestions, of course. Aside from that the restrictions are: - Mustn't have any legal concerns - this means no rape, although I had a suggestion for in-game consensual rape roleplay, which I think would be acceptable. - Must be a similar size and level of future maintenance as existing large sex scenes, such as the oral/titjob/handjob one. I don't expect you to know how big a suggestion will be in the code, but just be aware that I may reject suggestions that involve things like too much AI complexity. - Must be possible without significant other game changes past the expected ones for 0.3. That means no lesbian sex just yet, because we won't have female NPCs when I start work on this in march. Well, I'll get back to work. Development's doing fairly well so far today. I'll put up a blog post when I've finished the scene I'm working on enough that it compiles.

MadisonX I suggested the roleplay scene, and would like to see that someday, but I think it would be nice to see vanilla sex expanded first. Cubano's ideas are great! One new idea would be for an addition of doggy / bent over vaginal sex, on the bed, against the wall, bent over a desk, etc. This positions would also go well with an anal sex addition, which I would also like to see someday.

MadisonX Argh I somehow missed some of the comments! Richard already covered some of the ideas as did others. 1. For a separate scene, I agree that some date night activities would be nice, such as fooling around in public (movie, restaurant, car, etc). 2. I would love to see some scenes that involve exhibitionism, perhaps flashing at the club, work, or other public place. That would go nice with choosing not to wear underwear! 3. Might be nice to be able to find dates through another venue, perhaps while window shopping or online. Shopping scenes could involve some form of exhibition or perhaps fooling around in a changing room.

Splendid Ostrich Thanks for the comments so far everyone :) Lots of fun ideas already - sounds like it'll be a tricky vote to pick just one! I'll also be starting this month's vote very soon - either tomorrow or Thursday I think. I Just need to have a look around at some sites and decide if it's best to run it via PMs on patreon like the last one or to use some specialised voting site.
