Hooked! Ch05 Shark Beta Release
🕑 Added 2025-08-16 08:06:29 +0000 UTC[EDIT:] Itch is a different system from Patreon entirely, and all they know is whether you have an active pledge. If you cancel your membership, you do not have an active pledge. So make sure you still have an active pledge while attempting to access the update. Otherwise, you won't get access. If it still doesn't work, then let me know. Some times, it's just a fluke.
Oooohhh let's go!!!
This one has been in the oven for a bit. My reflections on why it took as long as it did are that I was nervous about a lot of stuff with this chapter. There's a lot of content here that I kept telling myself had to be perfect, and I put a lot of pressure on myself. In the end, I just decided I had to go with it and not worry so much about it being perfect.
There's that, and there's also the fact that this chapter has wayyyy more animation than the previous ones. I think I'm gonna have to chill out a bit with the animations in future chapters. I did a lot of animation frame by frame because I had fun with the way it looked. The way I implemented some of the animations was really un-optimized, though. So one of the things I'm gonna be working on the coming week is to optimize those. That's the biggest reason this chapter is such a jump in file size.
Oh, and there's also audio on the videos in this chapter! I know that's something a lot of you have been requesting, so now it's finally in there.
I opted to go for a more straight-forward NSFW scene in this one, with fewer branches. Mainly because I felt like I knew which choice everyone would pick...
Anyways that's enough rambling. Here's the first Beta build for chapter five. I hope you guys enjoy it! Hopefully itch still allows me to send you guys games through direct links:

Change log:
2025-22-08 [v0.5.1]:
Converted a bunch of frame-by-frames to video, reducing the file size, but not a lot :(
Added the filming scene and the Helen nsfw scene to replay snippets.
Made the phone convo progressable with space and enter keys, and made sure it doesn't stop you from skipping.
Made some of the slow-mo scenes more easy to skip through.
Minor fixes and tweaks to visuals, wording, and audio.
2025-24-08:
Re-enabled 0.5.1 android build, as it seems to run just fine on my android phone. But I'm keeping 0.5.0 up just in case anyone has issues

Fixed a few errors about missing images
2025-01-09 [v0.5.3]:

I’m planning to release it for the dolphin tiers as the «early September» post!
BlenderKnight
Gonna need a bit more info than that if you want my help! Send me a DM with more specifics and we’ll take it from there
Fry Enduro
I can't update the game
Collin Kasparek
When does this come out of beta
BlenderKnight
Is that something that happens with other VN patreons? I’ve built it for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android. If you have one of those you’re good to go
John
Will the new beta work on mac or am i screwed by my computer choice and gonna have to wait?
BlenderKnight
I definitely will! It's just hard to not bloat the development time doing them, so the amount might change but they'll still be there for sure
Sleepy Boy

BabaBooey
I also noticed that Hannah's biggest issue is her makeup getting ruined. So if we ever see her without makeup....
BlenderKnight
What steps are you taking to open it? I can enable the previous version for now as I won’t be able to look at it for a bit
Daniel Porter

I can't access, it says I don't have a pledge
BabaBooey
Very well done. Worth the wait. I noticed that Hannah wasn't quite as disgusted at her facial this time. Is that a hint of things to come (pun intended)

Hello, I just became a member but I can’t download the game. When I click on the link to Itch.io, it tells me that "We had some trouble connecting your account - You don't have a pledge for BlenderKnight Pinups, animations, and visual novels!"
