Dev Diary #9 📖 - Post Action Report & Plans
🕑 Added 2020-04-07 14:55:09 +0000 UTCGreeting, Fellow Citizens of the Union!
What a month March was – I genuinely didn’t think I’d get the update out in time for a bit there as events conspired against me. Getting coronavirus was hardly perfect… given my age and health it wasn’t risky for me, but it sure was debilitating! 😬Nasty little disease – I urge you all to follow your respective country’s health advice and stay safe. Then my computer fan broke (for some reason also taking the noise reducer with it for good measure). Yeesh! That meant I wasn’t able to finish the Constable’s scene – as m/m-only players know only too well – but worry not, I’ll be including that in the next update 😉
Of course, disasters come in threes, and I’ve only mentioned two so far. I planned to release 0.3.0 as a patch – a 1GB download rather than the full 2.5GB to help save your download quotas.
It did not work.
In fact, I spent the whole of the 31st making and remaking the patch after the first reports that no-one could play it (packaging the game is a dull and often frustrating business, so that was a bad day). Eventually I had to give up and release the normal way… though not before messing up a few patron’s saves. (Sorry! 😳) This doesn’t mean I’ve given up on the idea of patches, just that I need to go back to the drawing board... 👨🏻🎨
That aside, I was really happy with the update overall (and enjoyed making it). Got some fun music in, and I found creating the sex scenes enjoyable. A few players have mentioned it reminds them of Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS… a sexploitation film from the 70’s. I was unfamiliar with it, but I can live with the comparison 😂
PLANS for the month ahead:
So, you know that the next main update will feature the Constable and Cis. Before that, I need to do some of the extras – Walkthroughs, the new Personnel Files for the Virtual Stable, etc. – so you’ll be seeing a few technical updates before then.
I should also announce that my side-project with 🐺Nykwolf is going very well indeed, and I hope that you’ll be seeing that this month. This one is mainly for fans of lesbian and/or futa… or anyone who enjoys the Witcher games😉 More about that later!
PS: Big thanks to everyone who alerted me to bugs and typos - and to those who patiently downloaded and redownloaded the patch to help me get out a working copy. Heroes all! 😀
PPS: No porn so far in this post! This cannot stand!
(this was from a competition I won the other month. The task was to destroy the clothing boutique that appears in so many adult games 😂)

I'm still super salty that my family thinks that their Tiktoking is more important than my work... or my lewds.

😀 Thanks Jason! Glad the m/f content still works for you, and to evoke some memories! Wish more of my high-school friends had brought over erotic movies 😂

OMG!! ILSA, She-Wolf of the SS!!! Dyanne Thorne! I remember being in high school and my friend Melissa brought it over for me to watch. LOL There are a bunch of ILSA movies actually....Tigress of Siberia (my personal favorite), Wicked Warden, Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheks. It's so funny that would be brought up on here considering I graduated high school in 1991 (yes, I'm old..LOL) I did enjoy the update, although I'll be honest I'm more for the m/m content. I still play through the m/f content just because the writing is so good, and humor is spot on. Thank you so much for giving us such a great game! I can't wait for the next update...

Lol - it could not have been otherwise! 👢👢 Glad you liked it... and pleased you think the art's getting better. Practice makes perfect!

Lol - yeah, I'm still self-isolated at my parents 😂 (this is what happens when you do a good deed - you get infected with a serious virus and are trapped in the countryside for the next four weeks). Thank God they have good broadband!

Thanks for the hard work especially during a difficult time! Because of the patch confusion I never did actually give my feedback on the update. Despite the lack of m/m, I think that it was a really good update! The sex scenes were really well made, you're getting better and better imo! Like I can't even pinpoint what it is but for whatever reason the scenes came off really well. I was hoping for more plot intrigue but there's plenty of time for that, especially since the Rydick update made things so interesting. Music was awesome, I KNEW one of them would be These Boots, I was actually waiting for it :P

Thank you for trying the patch system anyway! I'm kinda hitting my bandwidth limit hard right now what with work and having MY ENTIRE EXTENDED FAMILY STUCK WITH ME AT HOME AND TIKTOKING, so any attempt to help there is appreciated!
