My work on the next release is coming to an end. Following a forecast of new stuff you can expect there:
new story chapter "Dinner for three"
The next chapter will be the longest in the game so far. It's about dealing with Hannah's reaction to you having sex with her sister and getting her to a point where she's okay with it. So after you get through this new chapter and have your first sexual interactions with both girls, the way is clear for a lot of new sexual things, like not just fucking Jessica in her room or yours and/or having a bit of fun with both girls at the same time!
The hardest part of implementing the new chapter wasn't just the technical implementation into the game, which really took some time due to its sheer length, but coming up with a story for this chapter that fits well into the game and connects the characters in a smooth way. I'm happy that it's done now, I'm pretty sure you'll like it and I'm looking forward to bringing in new content after that!
more options to train brainpower and fitness
To reduce the grinding of fitness and brainpower, some of you suggested making these options available more than once a day. So I had the idea of expanding the game world and introducing two more options for leveling up these stats: a yoga mat in the garden and a bookshelf at the dining table.
And then, when I was creating the textures for the new books on the shelf, I thought: why not push things even further and give more value to the money in the game? So I added a new mechanic to the game:
You can now buy a yoga mat and an encyclopedia. They will then be immediately transferred to your inventory. Green exclamation marks will then appear in the villa where you can place these two items. When you place them, new locations/options for training your fitness or brainpower will be unlocked.
This way you can extend your villa piece by piece to have more options for interaction. I'm sure I'll also use this mechanism for other things when the time is right.
performance boost
As you probably know, developing a 3D game is not just about adding content and new features, there are always other technical issues to solve, such as performance or engine related things.
I took some of the time you guys bought me through your awesome support and invested it: By optimizing, researching and changing settings, I was able to reduce the GPU load on my system from 50% to 40% (at a fixed 60fps) on the most challenging scenes without losing detail or quality. So that means a performance increase of not 5, not 10, no: 20%! This is great in my opinion and was absolutely worth the time I had to invest, because it has an impact on the whole game!
No matter what system you have, you should get some extra frames / smoother gameplay now, which is also a good preparation for the game to render three (or even more) girls in a scene at the same time in the future.
Assistance for translators
Since English is not my native language, some amazing people have offered their help to improve some lines of dialog. I've already set up a "text-fixes" channel on my Discord for this purpose. But it's certainly a pain to type all the sentences used in the game into a text document before improving them.
I have therefore added an option to activate an "assistant" in the options. If you activate it, the current dialog line displayed in the game is always automatically copied to your clipboard (tested under Windows). You can then simply paste it into your text editor.
New features already introduced (read the details HERE):
The girls' stats (mood & lust) now change over night depending on their mood
Added teddybear as another gift for the girls
Added headdresses for the girls (new accessoires tab in the girls' menu)
The official release of v0.15 will be on January 6th. Those with level 4 or higher will get access a few days earlier as usual.
I wish you all a happy new year and a good start to 2025!
