I am pretty sure you are correct about the "arc" path.  I have seen nothing like that in any HS2 game.  You are breaking ground here.  By the time you have completed this game you may be the foremost expert on HS2 out there 🤩.

Well this is good news and...... okay news.  I am ignoring the "code" part 🤓. I cannot blame you there. It is hard to get inspired over code.  It is still mostly good news. After all it is the life of an AVN developer 😏.

Nice!!! 😎

Thank you for the GOG link.  I have now wishlisted you there. I make it a point to wishlist on GOG every chance I get.  I already wishlisted this game on Steam but I use GOG a lot more.  Steam is just too controlling and I stopped using them entirely.  I know that puts me in the minority but I prefer Itch and GOG much more.

If you keep up this productivity I am going to rename you "The Flash⚡".  😉  That is really impressive work 💪.

As for Patreon, I think their AI has some serious issues.

It may fix the issues but it created them in the first place.

In the mean time the developer has a heart attack.  That is not helping guys 🙄.

Patreon is still the best platform for support.  Nothing else is close at this point so everyone is stuck.

I was here from the beginning.  

Your concept of this game was always good but your ability to deliver that concept has improved dramatically.  I think by the time this novel is complete it will be an art form.  I have always been impressed with your determination but at the same time your skill has improved to match.  The fact that you are happy with the recent improvements says a lot about how good the next scene will be.  With every update this game gets better.  I am now even more excited than I was before (which is hard to believe 😉).

It goes to show that sometimes a little pain can keep you focused 💪.  You do not need to tell me about getting old .  I know this kind of thing happens. (If I told you how old I really was you would not believe me.)  I love the fact that you are so determined that you worked through it all.  Believe it or not, this will keep you younger.  "Never give up" is my motto and it saved my life only two weeks ago.  I ended up in hospital but at least I did not die (like they expected) 🤦‍♂️.

It is inevitable that you will keep improving 💪.  I cannot fault you for wanting to fix everything to be perfect but the truth is, this game is very good now and is for sure has gotten better.  In the end you will hit the law of diminishing returns. 

I also can only start over so many times 😆 but I do not want to miss those improvements either 😏.

Congratulations on your release being mostly on time ⏳.  I know how unusual that is. 😬  I will be on Holiday so I will miss this release by a bit but I cannot wait to get back and play.  You have done a great job so far and I am sure that will continue. 🥰

As 三玖 said, take care of yourself and try not to overwork.

I did add this game to my wishlist even though I will never buy it on Steam.  I would rather buy it on Itch 10 times (which I might do 😉).  Steam seems to break everything in games for me.  I just can't use it anymore.  A DLC will render the rest of the older game saves unusable.  This ONLY happens with Steam.

Not gonna lie.  I would really like to see more of Lexi in this game.  Of course after that cliff hanger I cannot wait to see anything that will happen in this game!  That was epic.  It sounds like things are moving along well so I will not overstay my welcome either 😉. 

I could have warned you about hand drawn art.  Daz may be slow to render but it is lightning fast compared to drawing by hand.  Not gonna lie, I was far more interested in "Happy Trails" despite the inevitable problems.  I love hand drawn art and this was great.  I also love backpacking (I am leaving Monday for 10 days).  That combination was unbeatable for me but it is what it is. I wish you the best of luck.

I had to read 537 renders twice to believe it 😲.  That is epic 💪!  I also prefer larger updates.  I am patient (and take a lot of notes) so if an update takes a bit longer I am fine with it.  It sounds like things are moving forward well.  This is very exciting, I cannot lie.

It seems that SirPrometheus is nearly a professional troll 🧟‍♂️.  

At least he complains about every game equally.  It is not just this game.  I pay for this game every month whether I get a release or not (that did not come out right 😏).  I think every penny has been worth it.  At least this game has not been abandoned like so many others.  I am trying to make sure that does not happen.  That does no one any good.  At least you still have a chance to get the game 🙄.  And just think about it...  You buy a book... you have heard of them right? Books? 📖  Another book comes out by the same author.  Do you get it for free.  Hell no 🤦‍♂️.

You did make a poll about it and I almost forgot to vote 😲.  I was far too distracted by the beautiful images on Patreon 🥰.  😜

Well you better take better care of yourself or I will be VERY upset and you do not want that 😈.  😂

This game looks great so far 🥰.  I really look forward to more.  It is also very important to be organized for the future and it seems that you are doing that 📝.  Take your time and do it right like you have been.  Real life can really get in the way of game development so I understand.  I will be here watching... always 👀.

I am following you on Itch because I am already on way too many Patreon channels (most are paid).  It is easier to follow you here so you do not disappear into the void  😏.  I got the game yesterday, I started the game last night and there is already an update 🥳.  You are faster than I am 😂.

I have no idea how many people are following here.  I only started today and I have supported this game for a LONG time.  

It is now easy to get the game through the launcher.  I was hesitant but it works great.

Just start the launcher, put in the code and the game will download once you hit "proceed".  

I can tell you for a fact that the next version of the game v0.422 is the best update ever put in this game, if you are on the "Switcher" path.  

I have played every path with every update and IMO that path is by far the best and it just got a whole lot better 😍.

Congratulations on your Bachelor's degree 🥳.  This game is important but not as important as that IMO 💪. Of course I still want this game to continue 😉.  Now you already have me wanting 0.5 and I have not even played this update... yet 🤓.  Due to my often unreliable internet I have to download everything 🙄.  That is also why I have 8TB of drive space.  Have to fit in all those lewd games you know 😜.

This must be destined.  I only found out about this game on discord an hour ago and here is the new update 🥳.

And of course Yamikaz is already here 😏.  He beats me to everything 😂.  Of course  he is in all the best places 🫶.

I buy a LOT of games on Itch (usually for around $50+.  I also support a LOT of developers on Patreon and Subscribestar.  This game sounds good except... UE is useless for me.  It does not run in Linux and that is all I use anymore.  I gave up on Windows after the last hack attempt which took out several developers on discord.  I will not change for one game.  I wish you the best of luck with your game.

Ahhh, my favorite HS game 🥰.  It got even better with the last update which I played from the beginning 👍.  Of course there are always limitations using something what was never designed to have a "real" story.  I wish you luck finding what you need.  More is being developed all the time to help but of course that also takes... time ⏳.

I was not nearly as worried about the protagonist as I was about the developer 🤨. It seems like a long time since I bought this game the last time and I try to buy it again with every update 😘.

That was very informative 👍.  Now for my unwanted commentary 🤓.

It is possible to render some of the "grain" invisible (mostly) with post processing.  This does not take much time but the images will never be as perfect as they would be by doing right from the start.  Obviously that is unrealistic unless you have multiple PC's and a fortune in hardware.  I am reworking a game right now with similar issues (only much worse than yours).  

As for the death of a "named" character I would be very careful.  I have abandoned two games for that reason.  Of course it is unlikely that you would be dumb enough to kill off the best character in the game (but it has happened).  I know we are now well into a spoiler-y discussion so I will end that part here.  😉

As far as animations go, I do not think animations are necessary to make a game great.  If you are a master of animation and use Blender you can do some incredible effects.  Any less can actually detract from the game.  That is just my take on the matter after seeing some of the best animations ever done.  Most dev's are not capable of doing those and must hire a specialist.

I personally really like the flashbacks a lot and add even more depth to this story.  I do think you are correct than maybe adding them too often is not a good idea.  I have no trouble following the main story line but I am used to following multiple paths at the same time, while many players are not.

Well you are doing a great job but there is something you are missing... rest.  Maybe you have heard of it. 😂  You need to take care of yourself or you will never finish this game 😢.  If you do something really dumb like... die, that will really piss me off and you do not want that 😈.

One step at a time is how I look at it.  Hopefully this is the last time you will have to move for a while.  It is never easy 😒. It is unfortunate that you have to rent two places at once but that is how it is in many areas now.  Soon everything will smooth out and it will be lewdity as usual 😜.

This animation is no longer available on Patreon (in case anyone is finally getting here).

I reeeeeally wanted to get the game before, but I held off to actually buy it first.  I have not played it... yet but that will change shortly 😉.

And that would be today 😂.

It seems I am having Deja vu buying this game (again).  I knew this day was coming (from discord) and I am back as promised 🥰.

After reworking a game myself recently, I have looked at a LOT of images.  Most of them not so good.  There is no doubt that yours are looking great.  Lighting can make or break an image and you seem to have it down to an art form at this point 🤩.

Well I guess I will have to start over again.  Not a problem at all.  I really like this story ❤️.

I am sure you will eventually get this version for free but you must be patient.  It just came out.  Besides, if you have a way to play the game at all, I am sure you can afford $3.99.  My phone cost a LOT more than $3.99 and that does not even include the monthly cost to connect it to the internet.

I think that $3.99 is not nearly enough for this game.  I am sure you won't mind 😉.

I actually have a calendar with a LOT of notes 😂.  I would be lost without it 🤯.

I am on over 100 discord channels and I missed that?  Damn, I must be distracted 🤓.  Well it is fixed now 👍.

No way could I forget.  I have been counting the days for 17 days.  The time since the release schedule came out 🤓.

Well how can you ignore Mirabelle?  She is now a major part of this story, like it or not.  Especially after the cliffhanger of all time 😆. I am sure you will know when her "personality" is right 👍.  I did join your discord right off but ATM you cannot post anything.  That is probably a good thing right now until you set up a "honey trap" to catch scammers.  Those bots are everywhere on discord.  For newbies, that might be a disaster waiting to happen.
