Belated merry Christmas and a happy new year, everyone. I had intended to post this scene around that time, but, well... travel, family gatherings, and all that came along with it just took up too much of my time.
In any case, regarding the scene, it's about the after-effects of her walking...
2023-01-31 22:07:36 +0000 UTC View PostI had meant to post this last week, but I caught a stomach bug, so I spent the weekend feeling miserable instead. It's a shorter scene, at about 1000 words.
It used to be a bit longer, but I've trimmed some dialogue during the editing that wasn't working as I had hoped. I plan to re-a...
2022-11-25 13:45:32 +0000 UTC View PostA pretty long scene this time around, at about 2400 words. I'd written this scene a while back already, but just hadn't gotten around to editing it yet. Finally got to do it now, so I'm posting it.
I have also finished the writing for the second scene, and I'm making good progress on ...
2022-10-24 04:02:24 +0000 UTC View PostThis was a very tough scene for me to write. I wanted to show the distress she was in, the confusion, dependency, and jealousy she was feeling, and the realization slowly setting in that she might want something more from him.
Some of the text is a bit repetitive, I tried my best...
2022-08-21 00:41:34 +0000 UTC View PostThe next update is here, finishing off the ninth day of the story, adding four new scenes. It took way too long, I know. I'm very sorry. I've tried to explain at the bottom of the post.
Anyway, for the update itself:
In this update, we have another exciting encounter between the boy a...
2022-08-17 02:56:28 +0000 UTC View PostA scene with a bit of downtime again, with some normal conversation between the girl and boy. And her reaction to Sarah and the boy kissing.
I'm trying to convey the picture that their relationship is now growing back to normal a little in the boy's eyes, and he is truly falling ...
2022-08-17 01:44:30 +0000 UTC View PostA lengthy one once again, and an exciting one too boot (hopefully). Writing the sex scenes is quite hard, actually, so I hope I did alright. I always try to do a slow build-up and believably build the excitement.
I hope the dialogue and actions are exciting here. I didn't want to...
2022-08-17 01:42:52 +0000 UTC View PostThis scene is of average length and starts with Sarah teasing the boy a little, then some downtime with a conversation with coach Mike.
Also made a point of the boy worrying about the girl's reaction to the suggestion of getting massages, where he discusses it with Mike. We get i...
2022-08-17 01:39:34 +0000 UTC View PostI'm done with the next scene, finally. The supposedly "minor editing" that I had to do turned into major rewrites as I hated my writing when coming back to it.
In general just have very little energy right now and not in the best mood, and it's bleeding into my writing (or perception ...
2022-04-18 23:11:14 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone, apologies for not managing to release the new update last week. March has had me way more busy than expected, and I just couldn't finish it on time.
The next two scenes are basically complete now, they just need some more minor editing. I'll release them individually as soon...
2022-04-03 00:15:18 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone, the update is here, adding four new scenes (1 diary, 4 regular) and rewriting some old scenes, including the conversation with the landlady.
In this update, some time is starting to get skipped between scenes, and the story is going to start moving a little faster. You've be...
2022-02-18 02:51:12 +0000 UTC View PostOnce again, this was a big one (note: I decided to split this up into two scenes after writing this dev blog) with many things happening on two fronts—first, between the boy and Sarah, and secondly, between the boy and girl.
On the first front, I hope the scene with Sarah was exciting. I ...
2022-02-15 02:23:35 +0000 UTC View PostThis scene is a bit reminiscent of a past scene where he was cooking risotto as well—this is sort of intentional; I'm trying to show that he's cooking something he's confident about and something that is a staple in their diet. Plus, the girl has bragged about this specific dish, so I think sto...
2022-02-09 19:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostNOTE: This is not the full update that I was planning, and only adds for new scenes: "DAY07.DIARY" and "DAY08.SCENE01" (the scenes already posted individually, with no changes). So don't expect much new content in this one! I'm releasing this for new readers because it touches qu...
2022-02-01 18:45:51 +0000 UTC View PostA bit of a shorter scene with a bit of downtime. Nothing much happens here, except for the boy and girl talking about the night before a little. Since there was a bit of downtime, I decided to also add in the meeting with the nutritionist.
It's not important to the story, but, at the same t...
2022-01-30 19:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostThis is the diary scene that covers the seventh day. It focuses on the girl's emotions and her struggle with them. I hope to showcase a so far unnoticed/recognized gradual shift in her thoughts regarding the relationship between her and the boy.
I'm not entirely happy with the scene. I will...
2022-01-26 16:40:35 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone, I am back, and the update is here, and the sixth day is now complete.
I've been totally swamped and mentally exhausted, and I have not touched the project for the past few months. Nor have I logged into any of my accounts. I didn't have the energy to play any games, much les...
2022-01-21 21:38:24 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, I hope you had a nice time this summer, and are doing well. I had meant to post this scene before I went on my holidays, but more on that later.
My holidays were a bit longer than I had planned, family asked me if I wanted to stay a while longer, and I had no real reason...
2021-08-23 16:16:13 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys, it's been a while. I'm still alive and just finished writing the next scene. If you want to read a bit about what happened, I'll put it at the bottom.
In this scene, the boy comes home, and I'm trying to show a 'rift' growing between the boy and the girl, w...
2021-06-15 17:39:50 +0000 UTC View PostAs people have likely noticed, and as said in other development blogs, I've not been very productive when it comes to the game due to my normal life.
Well, stress has caught up with me, and I'm dealing with major burnout and depression issues. I'm taking steps to hopefully remedy this...
2021-02-26 01:31:21 +0000 UTC View PostThe update is finally here, adding four new scenes, adding more than 7500 words. I hope it was worth the wait. To all the patrons that stuck around despite that, I thank you a lot! And for those who didn't, I hope you will press the "follow" button, so you can keep following the story, I don't do...
2021-01-30 14:02:44 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, just finished writing the final scene of the next update. Plan is to release it this Friday, if I manage to finish all the revising and editing by then.
In this scene we see the rest of the date play out. Things have relaxed a little, and seem to be going right, the...
2021-01-25 23:02:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe next scene is done. It kept growing and growing, so instead of ending the update with this scene, I have decided to make another scene before releasing the update. I've already written about 800 words for the next scene, and I hope to have some free time again soon to keep working on it.
<... 2021-01-17 21:38:21 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone, merry Christmas! I hope you all will have a nice time, despite Corona. Personally, I'm quite sad about being unable to celebrate with my (extended) family, celebrating it at home is a little lonely. Still, I'm really glad to have a week off, and I have used this week to work on th...
2020-12-24 21:35:56 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys, sorry for not posting this during the weekend after I released v0.8.0 like I had intended to. Basically, what happened is that I believed to be able to finish writing it, and I did. But it was way too long, and I wasn't happy with it. Plus I wanted to incorporate some more of her though...
2020-11-22 22:55:29 +0000 UTC View PostIt's here, finally. The fourth day is now complete, which finishes the "prologue" to the game. I found it a hard day to write; there wasn't too much happening, it was mostly preparatory work for new content, and it featured much dialogue, which is not my strong suit. Most of the time spent on thi...
2020-11-06 17:15:11 +0000 UTC View PostTLDR: Hello everyone, was hoping to release v0.8.0 tomorrow, but it doesn't look like I'll be able to make it. It will be released next week Friday.
The first two weeks after v0.7.7 I was very busy, which I knew about beforehand which is why I released v0.7.7 at the time de...
2020-10-29 18:37:02 +0000 UTC View PostIt's here. It's not complete; I had some trouble writing the landlady dialogue and had more work than I expected. Still, I hope you'll enjoy it, and we are nearly done with the fourth day now.
I'm not entirely happy with the new scenes, and the fourth day in general, so for those of y...
2020-10-09 21:40:46 +0000 UTC View PostI thought I'd write a little about my development process for the people that are interested in knowing how I write the story, and how long it takes me to write a scene. I'll talk about the general process, and give specific examples for one scene ( 2020-10-05 13:42:46 +0000 UTC View Post
Just finished writing another scene. It's kind of reminiscent of an earlier scene, which was troublesome for me. I tried to abbreviate the homework and cooking scene, to have it stay interesting enough to read.
I'm not entirely happy with it yet, and expect to do some more revising on it, m...
