Update 16 Roadmap
🕑 Added 2023-07-21 14:39:32 +0000 UTCHey everybody! Lots to talk about today, so buckle up, buttercup!
Update 15 Patch
First of all. I've uploaded a new version of Update 15, which patches a few of the bugs that were found in the last couple of weeks. The links have been updated in the pinned post at the top of my page, if you'd like to download it. If you're not having any issues with the previous version, no need to patch really. Here are the things that it fixes:
- Fixed a bug that caused Jez's Lake Date hint to not appear.
- Made it so you can't use Mi-Cha's bonus cafe clothes until after the shooting star scene, to fix some inconsistencies.
- Fixed an issue with Jez's sex replays not working.
- Made it so that you can go on a solo date with Tammy even if Suzy's heart is turned off.
- Fixed an issue where Bai talks about dating and feelings even on the friends-only route.
- Fixed an issue where after Kendra's skydiving scene, you could wake up in a different place.
- Fixed some typos.
And with that, Update 15 is officially done. I released the free version on the various platforms this morning. I'm fully moving on to Update 16 now.
Update 16 Roadmap
So, let's talk about Update 16!
I've finished the outline for the update now, and I've been working on writing/coding/rendering and all the other stuff to create the new content for the last several days.
The update is going to be huge, of course. They all are at this point, it seems. I tried to trim out as much as I could so that I could release in a good timeframe, but the rest of this content, I just can't cut. So, it's the biggest update so far (they all are), and it's going to take me a little while to finish it.
Here's some numbers:
12 Major Scenes - These are scenes that advance a character's story. The biggest ones this update are for Tammy, Izzy, Nora, Brandi, and Bai. There is also a "main story" update and two scenes that are going to be patron/premium only. One involving Adrian. And another involving Gertrude.
22 Repeatable Sex Scenes - Dana, Jamie, Kendra, Gertrude, Mrs. McGee, Mrs. Mills, Reba, Whitney, Jez, and Mi-Cha all get new sex scenes.
8 Dates - Adding dates with Lisa for the first time, plus some new dates with Suzy/Tammy, Dana, Izzy, Bai, and a patron/premium-only date with Juliana.
20 New Conversations - This is the norm. Everybody gets a little. Lisa is getting quite a bit here, since you'll be able to take her on dates for the first time.
10 New Functions - Adding some free sex menus with several characters, but also the option to sleep with Lisa in her bed, and a couple more things that I'll keep as surprises.
5 New Characters - Not major characters, but new character models that I have to create for a side character, and two characters that are getting a remodel.
3 New Sets - Nothing major here. Just some scenes that happen in places we haven't seen before, so have to create a few new sets for that.
17 New Clothes - Since we have some new dates, all those characters are getting new clothing for those dates. I also have 8 patron/premium-only alternate outfits.
New Voices - I haven't quite picked out who I want to add voices for this update and I haven't chosen voice actresses yet for those parts. There might be a little less this update than there was last update. I'm struggling to fit everything in right now.
781 Images - This is quite a bit more than I've done in any update before. Every update seems to just get more and more. I am getting faster at making them, fortunately, and hopefully the renders will keep improving.
55 Animations - Pretty close to the same amount as last update. Will continue to work on making these better as well.
Other content I hope to fit in - I'm going to continue improving the menus in the game to make them look better and flow better. I'm also planning on re-rendering the entirety of Tammy's MMA fight.
Release
With the abundance of new content in the update, and my plans on taking a couple of little vacations this fall. I don't believe this update will be released until December. I'm not super happy about this. My original plan was to have four releases this year. One in March, one in June, one in September, and one in December. That's obviously not going to happen at this point, so I have to let go of that.
The updates have just gotten too big for me to finish in 3 months. I'm working my hardest, but there's just too much to do and only me to do it. I've looked into hiring other people to help, but it's not as easy as that, because finding somebody who knows how to do the things that I need them to do and doesn't just want to make their own game, is pretty tough.
Anyways, I'll be getting it out as quickly as I can, while not pushing myself to the point of burnout. Looks like that'll be December.
Final Thoughts
Okay, that's a lot of info, huh?
The next update looks really big, but there's nothing in it that is super difficult. I'm hoping that I can kinda just sail through it and maybe finish it quicker than expected. I don't have any crazy skydiving scenes or any super-diffucult-to-write scenes in this one, I don't think, and HOPEFULLY won't have any huge life events slowing me down as well.
There's several scenes I'm really looking forward to in this update. There's also a lot of groupsex scenes in this update that I think people are going to love. This one is just fun, you know? A little less drama than some previous updates and more of just having a good time. I think I'm into that right now.
That's all I got to say for now. Let me know what you guys think, or if you have any questions. You're all amazing. Thanks for giving me all the things that you have. I'm so happy with my life and the game and everything right now. Love you all!

I am really forward to the next update all i can add is keep up the good work.

It's not possible with the way this game is made. Would require re-rendering every image and animation in the game at a different resolution.

I cannot wait for 16. I am done with 15 and just waiting. I was wondering RJ if you have any thoughts of making the game support ultra wide monitors?

Tammy's? Tammy was living with her mom and stepfather until update 14, and she would never let you come over to her house, because her parents are awful. Since she's moved into the house with you and Lisa and Suzy, she has just been staying in Suzy's room. She does not have her own room.

Having almost caught up (only two paths to finish) I had a thought and it's either something in the works (or done in this next update), something that might make you smack your forehead, or something that'll make you want to punch mine: At any point, are we going to be able to visit Tammy's room?

Really looking forward to the new update. More groupsex sounds nice, especially when it involves Izzy and her boys or maybe even Adrian and Nora.^^ Please don't pressure yourself with the release. You earned your vacations and imho December sounds fine. I'd rather have quality over rushed stuff and you've proven time and time again, that you deliver quality.
