The Last Challenge v0.3.0 work in progress.

Hey everyone, I know I said the 20th but first time ever I’m ahead of schedule yay, here we go!

First and foremost, HOLY FUCKING SHIT, THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT! In all seriousness I thought I will get 5-6 maybe best-case scenario 10 new subscribers at the lowest tiers. Once I release the v0.2.0 update. However, I never could have imagined that I will be tripling the subscriber count… Holy shit this is insane, considering how big of a fuckup the development cycle was. THANK YOU FOR BELIEVING IN ME, YOU WON’T REGRET IT.

Before I start talking about the new upcoming v0.3.0 update, let's first talk about v0.2.0

Alright, so I released the v0.2.0 version of my game about a month ago and in this time, I received a ton of useful feedback and some stupid messages as well lol.

Let me address some of the problems with this version.

[Grammar]

The biggest problem people having with my game seems to be grammar and misspelled words related. Which in all honestly is not something I was focusing on while I was making the update. NOTHING was fixed in v0.1.3 and I built everything on top of that soooo shit, yeah, a lot of misspelled words and no space between commas and so on. I’m not a native English speaker, I fluently speak 3 languages 4 when I’m drunk, but like I said English is not my native tongue so, of course I will make mistakes and this will be the case until I can afford a professional proofreader, which will be a while because purchasing new assets so I can keep developing this game is now the priority.

However, some amazing people in my Discord server, offered to proofread and help me correct mistakes for free, and of course I took them up on this offer, but in all honesty, I will find an alternative way to compensate them for their work, but that’s between me and them and my sister… lol

[Character profile issues]

Something that is a quite big problem is the character profiles lacking a back button. No, I didn’t forget to add a back button, it’s more like the back button didn’t work correctly (probably due to my lack of skill in coding) but long story short this will be fixed MAYBE in the next version.

I say maybe, because the whole character screen needs a lot of adjustments. This game revolves around conversations and knowing the characters and making decisions based on their character traits and personalities, instead of bullshit free roam that just wastes everyone’s time.

So male characters also need to have their own character profiles, in order for you to easily manipulate them to steal their girlfriends, wives and so on. This will take time. It’s not just code it’s also designing new buttons, UI and all that crap that comes with it, and there’s no one else working on this game just me, so it will take me some time to make all the necessary things UI related, and to make this thing fully functional.

[Animations]

I think I already talked about this, animations are extremely hard to create in Daz3d. That’s why many developers use the same shitty pre-made animations that are available on various websites to be purchased. However, those animations are not good enough for me… I’m a bit of a perfectionist and instead of purchasing shitty pre-made animations I rather take the struggle and painfully hand animate them frame by frame to fit my scenes properly. Of course, I’m still learning and figuring out new things as I go, and that’s why some animations look better than others.

One big thing that’s bothering me in the v0.2.0 animations is the lack of ass jiggle. I couldn’t make the characters ass to jiggle because of the sweat Geoshell, it caused glitching and that’s why there is not butt jiggle. Another thing is the boobs jiggled less which was a mistake on my part with rushing making the animations I didn’t crank up the settings as much as I did before so there is jiggle but not that much booba jiggle lol.

To close this segment out, animations will get better as time goes on. I’m toying with the idea of animating everything in Blender since Daz3d view port is barely usable, and I’m pretty sure I can make better more detailed animations if I was to switch to blender. Not just sex animations, I want to make more cutscenes but all that comes with its own problems so we will see.

[Short update / Long development time ]

I know, it was shorter than expected, however game length depends on which choices you make. My game has tons of branching and since this is TRUE branching where choices lead you down different paths with consequences and new renders, and not those shitty ones where the choices lead to the same damn outcome with the same renders but the character wears different clothes lmfao. A lot of things went wrong in my personal life, I had a house fire, I almost became homeless, like I said will talk about it in my next Devlog post I will go into details and explain everything.

[Game size]

Yeah, it’s big, and it will just keep getting bigger and bigger. That’s the price for a lot of high-quality renders and animations. Yes, the images are already compressed from png to webp, but with a lossless preset so there is minimum quality loss. I think I said this before but I won’t destroy the quality of the images and animations and turn them into a pixelated mess just to shave of a few GB's.
At the end of the day this is a product, and if I'm gonna ask people to pay for it, I will make damn sure that I will give them the highest quality game I possibly can for their hard earned money.

[Plot holes]

There are no plot-holes in the story, you just haven’t played enough of it for everything to make sense. You can’t know everything by playing %10 of the first Chapter.

The game will have 6-7 chapters. I named them chapters but some people call them Episodes or Seasons it varies from developer to developer. As the game progresses and the story will unfold, everything will make much more sense, the quarantine, the virus, Tatyana’s suspiciously packed store, Yoona’s English, Tiny’s phone and a lot more things that I hinted at and no one seemed to have noticed lol. I built a whole universe here, and I can’t explain everything in the first update. There’s just too much stuff going on.

And now to clear up some confusion around my game.

I’m a single developer, I don’t have anyone else working with me on this game. I do everything by myself, and yes this is my first game that I ever made, and the one and only game that I work on.

Meteor Valley is not a city, it’s a HUGE self-sustaining fictional state. That is located in a fictional version of the United States where history folded out differently. You can say that the story takes place in an alternate universe/ reality.

This is NOT a collage setting game, it’s post apocalypse with grown people not teenagers in collage. They wore cheerleader outfits, and football jackets because some of them had a get together that morning, for old times sake. They even reference this in game.

NO, the people in the banner are not all love interests OR all the people the game will feature, it’s just a shitty banner made to look nice and not overcrowded. Nothing more, no hidden meaning no anything just a banner that will be updated soon probably maybe possibly I have no idea lol.

The characters were bad at math in the beginning of the game because they were hungover from Donnie’s moonshine. (I thought I made this clear in the dialogue)

You can fail the challenge or it can be given up later in the game, and the story will continue. But there will be consequences to giving up the challenge.

Not a sandbox game.

The characters you saw so far are only the fraction of, all the characters this game will have. And a lot of love interests haven't been even shown yet.

All fetishes are optional and they are not forced upon you.

There is no NTR, Ariana is not a love interest. She’s just a random hoe, get over it. And yes a lot of women have girlfriends, boyfriends, husbands, fuckboys, because they all have their own lives just like everyone else around you in real life.

AGAIN, Some women have boyfriends, husbands but you will be able to steal them away or make them cheat on their significant others, through manipulation and dialogue.

There are no game breaking bugs in the 0.2.0 version, either you used an old save which I specifically said not to do, or you downloaded a pirated version which was tampered with. The official version from my Subscribestar fully works, it is 9.04gb and it's playable on Windows and Linux. Everything else on other websites are not official releases, and they might have been tampered with.

The Last Challenge will have a total of 6-7 chapters / episodes / seasons. Same shit different name.

And now what’s everyone is waiting for. v0.3.0

I have some good and bad news regarding the next update v0.3.0.

The good news is that I already have around 100+ renders and a couple of animations rendered out.

As for the bad news.

I know many of you are eager to find out what happens next, since I ended things with a bit of a cliffhanger but you will have to be a bit more patient.

Unfortunately, I cannot afford the assets that I need to build the lost city at this time. Yes, I got a ton of support, but you need to keep it in mind that I have to pay various fees and taxes so once everything is paid, I get about 60-65% of the total amount I earned for the month. And since people come and go, I need a few more months to save up for all the assets that I need.

I want to be fully transparent about where all the money from your subscriptions is going.

Some of your support goes towards, voice actors, music and sfx licenses but most importantly buying new assets, now that I’ve fully upgraded my PC.

I stated this before, this is my first ever game so I don’t have an existing asset library like a lot of other developers have, who already released at least one game before. I’m in the process of building my asset library and let me tell you oh boy it’s expensive.

And on top of this Daz3d doesn’t have many good post-apocalyptic assets that will fit my game, so I need to purchase them from other sites, and build the environments from 3-4 different assets, and the prices are crazy.

Here take a look.

These are just screenshots from the site I intend to buy my post-apocalyptic assets from and not the specific assets that I will purchase. I just searched for "Destroyed" and this is what the site threw at me. I want to use this as an example of how expensive these assets are.

Most of the time I build my own environments from 3-6 different environments purchased from the Daz3d store to make my game more immersive.

Sometimes I get lucky and I find an almost perfect environment asset like this gun range and all I need to do is adjust the lighting slightly and I’m good to go

A lot of times I just buy a couple of different assets and props and put together an environment scene, well more like build upon an existing room to make it fit the narrative, like this one.

or this.

Worst case scenario, I need to build the whole scene even the room, from scratch and that ends up being the most expensive one. Of course, so there is no confusion when I say from “scratch” that doesn’t mean I model the props in them myself. lol All these living rooms. kitchens, houses come with their own props so I mix and match and badabing badaboom. I end up with a personalized custom environment.

Here are some work in progress images building the kitchen and living room of Rosaline’s farmhouse.

Of course this is not finished yet, but you can see a ton of work and different assets packs go into a lot of these scenes, this is just a half-finished kitchen and a partial living room. I need to make 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and the outside of the farmhouse with barns crops, and everything else that a proper farmhouse needs.

Custom environments are not that hard to make, since Daz3d has a ton of amazing assets to pick from all you need is some creativity and extra money. I know it is more expensive like this to develop the game, but this is a passion project for me, I love making it, and I want to make it as best as I can even if that means spending every dollar, I earn from Subscribestar on developing this game. Luckily, I have a day job and I make just enough to pay rent and live somewhat comfortably. So almost all the money earned from your subscriptions goes toward the game, I say almost because occasionally I buy a beer for myself too. lol

Anyway, making the Lost City from scratch will cost a few thousand dollars at least, but the end result will be worth it. And I will hopefully earn everything for it through your subscriptions in the upcoming months.

I will be also buying a portable Air Conditioner. My landlord doesn’t allow me to install a normal Air conditioner because it would involve drilling into his precious walls so last summer, I lost 3 months of development time because it was too damn hot and my PC kept overheating and it couldn’t render. I talked to a couple of people and they all said a chimney can be used for the exhaust pipe to take the hot air out from the portable air conditioner so I will buy a portable AC for the summer. And this will allow me to render through out summer so faster updates yay ^^

So, if I’m not continuing where v0.2.0 ended, what the fuck am making for the next update?

this.

There is a path that is not hidden but a lot of people missed it, you can take Samantha in the bus station restroom, and have sex with her.

This path has been in the game since v0.1.3, to trigger it you need to force Murphy to let you take over the challenge and after that if you play your cards right, you can have a quickie with Samantha in the restroom.

In v0.1.3 and v0.2.0 you could only have a quickie with her but, v0.3.0 will let you chose the option to take your time fucking her, of course blowjob, pussy eating vaginal sex with different poses and camera angles and a lot more.

Of course, this will cause you to miss the bus and you will have a few options to choose from on how you will spend your weekend in Meteor Valley.

The weekend will have 2 major branches. AND a third one depending on what did you do with the maid earlier. If you managed to get a note from her with her address a third special path will unlock and you will have a ton more content with Rosaline.

Of course, this branches like crazy and it all depends on what did you do with Rosaline, did you just simply flirt with her, or did you convince her to cheat on her husband with you or if you just agreed to make her husband jealous. Regardless it’s gonna be fun with a lot of sex of course if you choose so. Everything is up to you I won’t force anything upon you.

Since there is a ton of branching and that means a lot of work ahead of me, I’ve decided to try something different this development cycle. I will be releasing an update every time I fully finish a branched path. So hopefully pretty soon the next update will be released. When I have no clue, few months.

In the future once I get more subscribers and assets, I will leave it up to you, my paid subscribers to decide on which path I’m working on first. I will make a poll and you will be able to vote on your preferred path. But for now, since I still need to prioritize in which assets are best to buy first, the decision is mine.

So, the path I will be developing first is the one selected above. In this path you will learn a lot more about MC’s background in Meteor Valley. There’s a lot more to him than just being the Champion of the challenges. He had a life here, and you will learn much more about him.

Here are some screenshots, cuz I know ya'll motherfuckers been waiting on these :DD
Well never mind, subscribestar says "The number of uploads per post is limited to 20" xDD fuck my life.
Okay I will make a separate post after this with just the screenshots haha.

There will be a lot more added / tweaked / adjusted in this update.

A replay room, will be added so you can replay previous sex scenes

Achievement system will be added

Some kind of a progress tracking menu will be implemented, so you can see what scenes you missed.

New reworked character profiles.

Mc’s character profile (hopefully)

Dynamic main menu that changes as you play the game.

And a lot more that I can’t think of right now, it’s the middle of the night ffs lol.

I will stop writing now before I reach another post limit xD

Once again, I want to thank everyone who supported my game, without you I wouldn't be able to develop this game. I'm sorry that it's taking so long to get things rolling but at the end, I promise you it will be all worth it. :)

Have a nice night, I will be here for a while working as usual, if you have any questions ask here or hop on to my private subscriber only discord server.
