I’ll be crossing my fingers!

Guh

Like I said, end of the month or beginning of the next.

stoperArt

That's a mystery :)

stoperArt

Hi, stoper, When will the new version be released?

Evan

Will Parker make a guest appearance this update?

Guh

In the last update there already was a lesbian scene..so it´s time for some straight action ;-)

Tskxe

Would be something to see also

Robert

My guess is Rosa.

Eksekiel

Hmmm … I thought Jess will meet the boy on the beach and fuck him in the dressing cabin …. Now the question is whom is going to be fucked by Jess ??

Robert

No. He'll be back in the update after this one.

stoperArt

i dont know what to say anymore, it always ends up in a delay and I already expected it. BUT u never said "next month, dead or alive" and then come in the middle of the month and say "oh maybe I cant keep my word". u say ure a grown up but then u are * not sure * u can keep ur word? bro what...

yeled

The internship student working with Jess at the Gazette will have any role in this update ?

Robert

The straight one is involving Jess :) ?

Robert

do not encourage more delays.

Eric wade

compared to lust and passion? yeah. only recently has L&P sped up. they are all about milking patreons for all we're worth while trickiling out updates

Eric wade

I'll likely post something before the release, yes.

stoperArt

He replied ma boy … look up

Robert

Be careful not to fall into the easy trap. I explain: If you know in advance that a game option will not be chosen by anyone, there is a real problem, I would even say a real trap. Because it means first of all admitting that the story of the game is not tied up in advance, which is extremely risky, but above all that the game can quickly turn into a simple animated comic strip. But in this case, no more game. So, it is absolutely necessary to find a way to make what seems a priori to be a sidetrack towards an outcome that arouses interest and at least curiosity. That's what makes the difference between a great game and something more mundane that sooner or later will actually become boring. It would be a shame to have done such a great job thus far of indulging in the easy and the mediocre, because players will realize that soon enough, and it's much easier to end up in a downward spiral. than the opposite.

No worries, mate, you can criticize me every time you think I deserve it. I'm a grown up, and I appreciate every feedback.

stoperArt

Thanks for the reply. Just so you know, I'm criticizing only because I love your game the most, there is no other game with good cheating and great quality renders like yours. (Ok maybe EvaKiss is great as well). It just would be great if you could find some way to speed up the updates a little, be somewhat consistent and at the same time spend some time on some other things between 2-3 updates because no one wants you to burn out. :D I hope you don't take it personally. I love your game and want you to succeed and be rich and at the same time be happy with your life/work. :)

Karel Lopata

Take all the time you need - prefer quality over all else!

mario valdes

I hope there will be something with the birthday boy again soon. If I remember right it ended up high in a poll some time ago?

Eksekiel

:)

Eksekiel

I just love unexpected scenes that nobody expects to happen. So, bring it on Stoper. :)

Eksekiel

There are cheating events. One lesbian, and one straight. I can't say how far each goes though, you'll find out in the game.

stoperArt

Hey Stoper, I hope you didn't take my suggestion the wrong way. It's just its been so long since the last update. I guess we're all getting impatient haha. I was hoping you could answer a question I'm sure you've been getting none stop. The update is planned for the end of the month. I guess my question is you have any idea when that would be. Will we get another blog post to announce the release date?

Ricky

I'm really looking forward to it! However, I hope that the next updates will appear a little faster afterwards.

Gambit

Sadly, I agree.

stoperArt

You'll find out in the update.

stoperArt

I was considering trying that for the next update. Just to see if at least the release projection is clearer that way.

stoperArt

But there's the pressure of the people paying for the food on my table waiting for an update :) So I have to find the balance between having fun and being productive.

stoperArt

It's in the middle of the event, so it would feel weird not to have it. But it's something worth considering.

stoperArt

When I say few might see, it's not because the scene is hard to get or something. Just on a path that few people will go to, and is maybe not that exciting. I'll give you an example from a scene from the last update - the last event in the bar with Blake, a non-lesbian Jess can decide not to invite Conner, but then not do anything with David either. So there is a small scene there with David's friend. That's a path that I think few people would take, yet it feels nice to have. So the hard thing is to decide how much time to dedicate on such scenes. We may discuss this further in the next blog post, or after the release.

stoperArt

Stoper i want to know will there be a cheating route in this update, or will there be more juicy cheats？

Felix.Tsui

Where Jess is going ?

Robert

many more month to go hold tight guy.. Oof

Mideum87

You find, last update february first. Wow really fast

jino halack

still faster than Lust and passion

Eric wade

6 months without update so disappointed man....

Darshana Neranjana

Looking forward to seeing it!

Serner

"next month, dead or alive", right? :) You haven't released update in 6,5 months, so it would be great if you released update in august instead of going too "wild on environments and details". Have you ever tried different aproach to your development? For example plan the scenes more in detail than you do it now, then set some deadlines and then execute on that? Or do you still do it the old way? I really hope that the rest of this update goes smoothly and really hope that there is at least 1 naughty scene with Jessica and a male character. Godspeed!

Karel Lopata

It's good to have fun!

bos

i'm hoping its just jess and the guys everyone except Conner

Jonathan Heard

If the extra scene is gonna push the deadline back I don't think it's something worth for this update. Maybe have it in the new update? Especially if not many people will see it.

Ricky

Thanks for the update!

Res Ipsa

When in doubt to add a scene few might see, why not include a save with the update that is at the start of the scene in question?

Chairman

Thanks for the update! Appreciate all your hard work :)
