I ended the poll on which lady you want to see more content of. Funnily enough I can't easily view the results. So if I just open the post with the poll all I see is this: Not helpful. Alright, but I can download the results, right? Think again! That gets me this lovely page: But it's all good. I can use another browser and view the page as a guest and that will get me the results. And here's a silly little graph made with python:
As you can see Patricia won with a comfortable margin and as a result I'm working on a new event for her this very moment. Also I can confirm that I have some more fun ideas for the continuation of her story. You can expect plenty more content going into the new year. For the 2nd place Olivia I've just recently finished an old uncompleted event and made an entire new one. I did not expect that, I just got lucky on that one. You can expect more content of her in the future too, but for the time being I have no immediate plans for her yet. Natalie and Aster share a third place. Both characters are obviously very important to Eileen and are deserving of more screen time. I do feel like I have neglected them for a bit, so they go high up on my list of priorities now. They are also very important to the plot, so more content for both is a guarantee!
I finally got around to updating the the free version on itch to v0.5! They are quite far behind, but that is kind of the point, isn't it? The most important thing about this update is probably that the MacOS version is working properly. I think v0.4 at least had a broken MacOS build, because I configured it wrongly and without a device capable of easily running MacOS, I had no way to test it either. Shoutout to lonk92 on Discord who notified me of this issue in the first place and helped me test it!
There has finally been a new update to Renpy 8.5.0 and I have build the new Beta version off of it. https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/changelog.html#automated-testing The most interesting new feature is a way to set up automated testing. Sounds great! Unfortunately I have not yet had time to figure all of that out. At first glance it does not look super easy to set up, but it's probably going to be real useful once done. I will put this on my list for 2026.
In other news, I found out that the Patreon Discord bot is misbehaving, so I set that thing up again. Honestly, I am still not convinced it is working correctly now. I don't get to see your Discord account names on Patreon, so I can't easily confirm you got the correct role assigned on Discord. If you do not have the correct role assigned let me know and I will try to fix it. And then shortly after I set the Bot for Patreon up again, the SS bot hits me with this one. And I can tell you right now, that the Patreon Bot has the exact same requirements and it's not possible to have them both set up correctly at the same time then. As most of my subscribers are in fact on Patreon, I will leave the other bot disabled for the time being. What ridiculous nonsense you have to deal with, it just cracks me up from time to time.
It's the end of November at the time of writing and the year is almost coming to a close. For December I have a release of v0.7 planned. The usual date would be the 26th as that is the last Friday of the month (and the last Friday of the year). But I might take a few days over the holidays to polish it up, I'm not sure yet. In any case, you can expect the Monthly Update and the release of v0.7 at the end of December.

Weekly Update - CW45
Good day to you!
Thank you to all new and old subscribers for the support! Means the world to me :)
Remember to go vote in the poll on which lady you'd like to see more of in the game! Should be fully free and open to anyone by now. https://www.patreon.com/posts/140930961 I plan on keeping the poll open until the next monthly update on the 28th of November in exactly three weeks.
This week I'd like to get some feedback from ya'll. I've put out a first beta release last week and shared some screenshots on how the new system is going to work. Here's what it looks like right now:
The idea is simple: switching a sandbox for a much easier to navigate event selection panel. Recently I have started adding some additional actions to it like "taking a nap" or "going to bed". Those are of course necessary for the different times of day to function correctly.
The events shown in the panel are all the events available to you at any given time. That means some events aren't available for the whole day, but only in the evening for instance.
It's a bit of balance act of just how much of the sandbox open world I should back into the game. For instance I am considering if I should bring the map back and again allow you to move freely between available and unlocked locations. But that would come with the logical conclusion that the events available in the panel should be location specific only. So you go to the gym and see all available events and actions from anywhere in the gym.
I am thinking about adding some additional markers to the map to highlight areas that have open events so you don't have to search every location for them. Do you think that would improve the game in your opinion?
Do you prefer the old sandbox system over the new one? If so, why? What are you missing with the new one? If you prefer the new one, let me know as well!
In my opinion the big advantage is in making side quest/events instead of open world content. It's a lot more fun for me to make some small events for a character instead of trying to accommodate all possible scenarios.
Take Olivia in the Sauna for instance. Originally I started that as an open world event you could find by going to the Sauna when Olivia was there too. But that also means it's super easy to miss that bit of content. And I really don't want to waste time making content only a small percentage of players ever gets to see. Now, I've turned that into it's own proper event you can easily find in the event panel if once you have progressed Olivia's story line far enough.
One more thing I am considering on adding is a way to hide the events for individual characters. You don't like Olivia or you don't like the way the quest line is going or it's focused on a kink you don't share? No problem, I will try to give you an exit option in the event. And after that you can simply choose not to continue with that content. But ideally you could just select the ones you want to hide. Should be simple enough.
If you have any other ideas, please don't hesitate to let me know!
You can comment right under here or on the Discord server or even just send me a mail, if you only want me to be able to read it. Either way, I appreciate it a lot!
