Roadmap - MC Day 6 Clothes + Plans for v0.5 + Plans for the Project's Future

What's up, guys!
I've been working on the new version for a while now, but I haven't brought you any updates yet, so I decided to share some of my progress with you.

MAIN CHARACTER DAY 6 CLOTHES

First of all, as you can see in the images attached to this post, I have decided on the outfit that the main character will wear on the sixth day. It's inspired by a famous basketball team.
All renders related to moments already present in the game in which the MC appears have already been rendered with the MC wearing the new outfit.

But that's not the main focus of this post.
Let's take a look at the plans for the new episode.

PLANS FOR EPISODE 5

Episode 5 will consist of the following parts:

• Beatrice Sex Scene: Just like in Episode 4, there will be a sex scene with Beatrice as soon as the episode begins, but this time there will be more than just oral sex.
• Photoshoot with Julia: All the girls in the game will have at least 1 photoshoot each.
  Since Julia is the character who has just arrived at the brothel, you'll have to do a photoshoot with her and then post the photos on the escort forum to promote the brothel.
• Bartender Scene: As always, there'll be a scene where you'll work as a bartender.
  This time, there'll be a very special customer who will be part of the main story, and this will lead to further development of the story.
  In addition, you'll notice that the bar is more crowded than usual, thanks to the promotion that Leon did on his internet show.
• Luna Pole Dance Scene: As mentioned in the previous episode, Julia will teach the other girls in the brothel how to Pole Dance.
  In this episode, Luna will perform a Pole Dance show at the bar, just like Julia did in the previous episode.
  This will have a major consequence in the story, which you'll find out once you have the opportunity to play the new episode.
• Sakura Sex Scene: Sakura will also have a sex scene with you at the end of this episode.
  You'll find out that she has also joined the brothel team and she'll reveal her secrets to you, telling you why she made this decision.
  You'll be surprised by her reasons!

That's all I have planned for Episode 5 at the moment.
With that said, let's move on to the next and perhaps most important topic of today.

PLANS FOR THE PROJECT'S FUTURE

From the release of Episode 4 until now, I've been thinking about the future of the project and what would be the right decisions to make in order to achieve our dream of completing the development of this game.

I haven't told you this yet, but the time has come to say it: The project has already reached halfway through its development journey. I can say that it's somewhere in between 50% and 60% done.

I'm tired of seeing and hearing about other developers' work that was only half-finished and abandoned halfway through.
I'll not let that happen to my project, because what I want most is to finish it.
In addition, I also know that this is something that some players fear, due to some comments I have received.

Unfortunately, this is something that is quite common in the adult game development community in general and has become a ghost for everyone, both players and developers.
This creates a stigma that contaminates the entire environment.

Because of this, some players have already commented on my pages saying that I would abandon the project unfinished or something like that, which is not part of my plans.

As you know, this project is developed by only 1 person (me) at the moment, and my life has been quite busy lately, because my living conditions have changed a lot since the beginning of the project. Nowadays, I have a formal job to take care of, I have my household chores since I live alone, plus the work on the game development, all of which makes things a little harder than usual, as it's like trying to spinning plates for me, giving a little attention and time to each of these areas.

I know that, as players, we always want the game to be complete as soon as possible, because we want to see the end of the story, and if you feel that way about my game, I take it as a compliment, because it's a sign that it was interesting enough to keep you interested.
But I ask for a little patience, because the work will be done and I'll keep my word to you.

That said, I have made the decision to move straight towards the game's conclusion.

What do I mean by that?
In the past, I have always made a point of including optional extra content in the episode, which is not mandatory but can be unlocked by the player.
While this is nice, as it gives the player more content to explore, it does extend the production time of new episodes.

I'm not ruling this out, but these optional extra content will be released after the release of version 1.0.0, which is the version in which the main story will be complete.
If you, my audience, want me to continue adding content to the game and release versions 1.1.0, 1.2.0, 1.3.0, etc., I'll do so, but first I'll work towards delivering the complete main story to you. The extra content we can look at later.

That said, I've decided that the game will have 7 or 8 episodes in its final version, that is, the version in which the main story is complete.
More extra content may be added later, and this will be unlocked over the course of the days that make up the episodes, but first I've decided to deliver the complete main story to you.

The next episodes will focus mainly on the following (Contains a small spoiler):

• Episode 5: The main focus will be on Sakura's story. Content involving Beatrice will also be present, as mentioned above. In addition, Luna and Priscilla will have an important role in this episode.
• Episode 6: Priscilla will be the main focus of this episode. Luna will also play a very important role in this one, as she will be part of the development of Priscilla's story.
  There will also be a fight scene in the bar, which you'll have to intervene in. This will be crucial to the story.
• Episode 7: Yasmin will be the main focus of the story. She's Luna's college friend and will need help, so Luna will invite her to work at the brothel and she'll join the team.
  Lara will also have an important role in this episode, this is where she'll come into contact with the brothel for the first time.
  You'll also need to hire a security guard to take care of the brothel, in order to avoid fights in the bar like the one that happened in Episode 6.
• Episode 8: Lara will be the main focus of the story in this episode.
  She'll start to live directly with the brothel girls and the MC, and will even become part of the team.
  This episode will be the connection to the beginning of the story, which will take you to the Questioning (Scene 1), finally reaching the conclusion of the game.
  It'll have a surprising ending, but it'll remain a secret for now.

Maybe Episode 8 will be merged into Episode 7, that's something I still need to decide, but for now these are the decisions related to the script that I have made.

Something may change before development is complete, but I believe this plan will be followed for the most part.

This was a really long and revealing post.
I decided to open up about the full roadmap that I have from now until the final version of the game, and I hope this keeps you guys hyped to see how this story ends.

This was perhaps the most important post about the project's development that I've made to date, so I hope you enjoyed the news.
For now, I'll continue working on the development of the project itself: posing the characters, setting up the scenes, rendering, etc.

I hope to bring you some cool news soon.
See you next time, everyone.
Cheers! 🍻

Living in a Brothel is now available on Oppaiman.com!

What's up, guys!
Today we bring you some very good news: Oppai-Man invited us to publish Living in a Brothel in Oppaiman store.

OppaiMan is the legendary developer team behind the famous Fresh Women and it's an honor for us to receive their invitation to have our humble game available on their store.

It was a great surprise for us to receive such an invitation, because at first, we had only had superficial contact. Given the greatness of their work, we didn't believe we would have the chance to make our game available there, but the time has come.

Our store page on the OppaiMan store is similar to the one on Steam, available in English and Portuguese. The other languages ​​available there use AI translation, so it may not be perfect, but it certainly helps promote the game to native speakers of other languages.

We decided to make the game available there to promote the game more, so that new players can get to know our work. But there are certainly other advantages besides that, such as direct (and fast) download links offered by the OppaiMan website, and the fact that their payment system is directly linked to Patreon, which means that if you already support our work with $12 or more, you automatically gain access to the game in the OppaiMan store as well.

In addition, those who purchase the game there also gain access to the benefits offered on our Patreon, such as Steam and Itch Download Keys, for example.
By the way, welcome to our Living in a Brothel Patreon page, supporters who purchased the game through the OppaiMan store! 🥂

Unfortunately, we cannot provide the same access to SubscribeStar supporters, as the OppaiMan store system is only linked to Patreon. Despite this, the versions of the game available on the OppaiMan store are the same as those available on SubscribeStar, so you'll still have access to the game.

Now that we've finished our presentation of the debut of the Living in a Brothel game page on the OppaiMan store, we're leaving you the link so you can see it for yourself.

OppaiMan Store: https://www.oppaiman.com/app/Living_in_a_Brothel

If you're one of our supporters on Patreon ($12 or higher) or have purchased the game from the OppaiMan store, we kindly ask that you leave a positive review on the store page, as this helps us promote the game even further.

Leave a Review: https://www.oppaiman.com/app/Living_in_a_Brothel/review

We sincerely appreciate everyone who takes a minute to post a review there!

Cheers! 🍻

Back from hiatus

What's up, guys!
Let's start this post with some positive news: We're back!

But this time, I feel it's necessary to better explain the reason for my disappearance and why development went on hiatus for approximately 1 month and a half since the last post.
You may have noticed that I'm using the first person throughout this post, and there's a reason for that.
From the beginning until now, this game has been developed by only one person, me.
Despite this, I have always written posts in the plural, as I intended to invite more people to work with me in the future, but it never happened.
Some very important things happened in my life, which made it impossible for me to work on the game's development during this period. I don't like to talk about my personal life here, but I feel I should give you an explanation, since without the help of everyone who believes in the project, none of what we have done so far would have been possible.

I received a job offer that I couldn't refuse. The salary is very generous, above the average for a regular job in the job market. However, I was called to work in another state, very far from my home state.

This required a lot of planning on my part.
I had to organize my entire life: decide what items I could take with me on the trip and what items I would have to leave behind; buy the plane ticket; travel; book a hotel to stay in as soon as I arrive in the new place; find a new house to rent, so that I would have a place to live in this new state; furnish the new house; install essential services, such as internet, for example; go to the new job and deliver all my documentation so that I could be hired; adapt to the new routine, so that I would have time to also work on the development of the game; among many other tasks.

All of this required an extreme effort on my part, so that only now have I had time to come here and talk to you.
Now that I'm in my new home and have completed the entire moving process, I can dedicate my time to developing the game again.

From this, I bring some good news:

• The most important of all: I'LL CONTINUE DEVELOPING THE PROJECT.
  Just to make it clear that i'll not abandon the project, ok?
• Along with all the furniture I had to buy for the new house, I also had to get a new PC that had good enough hardware to allow me to continue developing the project.

  I got a very powerful PC! During the rendering tests I did with it, I discovered that it can render up to 3x faster than the previous PC.

  This means that we'll have an increase in productivity and, consequently, we'll be able to have more animations than before, since they'll now be rendered 3x faster, and animations are what takes the most time to render, since they have to be rendered frame by frame.

• Last but not least, I now have a solid financial base to cover my own costs and, because I'm in a better financial situation, it'll be easier to work on developing the project, since I'll no longer have to worry about paying my monthly expenses.

  I'll just have to balance the time dedicated to my new job and the development of the game. But that's not a problem, I know it'll be possible to do it.

  Of course, your help will continue to be important and very welcome, but now I'm sure that I will not go bankrupt, and the project will be able to continue regardless of the circumstances.

That said, since I would need to take some time away, why did I decide to keep Patreon active, instead of temporarily disabling it?

While most of you'll be able to access the game on all platforms, some users from specific countries, such as Germany and China, rely on a Patreon integration to be able to claim their Steam Keys and access the game on Steam. If I were to disable Patreon and prevent billing during these months, these users from Germany and China would consequently be unable to claim their Steam Keys, so I have decided to keep Patreon active for the sake of the service's continuity.

I completely understand whoever decided to stop supporting the project financially, as it's really bad for supporters to go a long period of time, like 1 month and a half, without receiving updates. I respect your decision and, if you think I deserve your support again now that development is back in action, I'll be eternally grateful.

To our supporters who decided to continue supporting the project, despite this brief hiatus, I would like to express my sincere gratitude, as you are helping me at one of the times when I need it most. Thank you for your patience and trust in my work!

At the moment, I don't have any updates to show you, due to all this context that I just explained, but I feel it was more than necessary to be transparent and clarify the situation for you.

On the other hand, I'll be resuming development from now on, so I hope to have news to show you soon.

That's all for today, folks!
Cheers! 🍻

Hello my friends!
I'm Tremmi from the tremmiGames.
We have been creating Amazing Games for adults since 2016, our portfolio contains 6 projects! (1000+ animations, 10000+arts and 40+ hours of gameplay).

Our current project on patreon is a visual novel called “Rich and Youn”.
A rich and successful character loses everything in an instant.
How to get back the sweet life? Need your help!

As always there will be plenty of girls, sex and all the things you love so much waiting for you!

Join our big community right now!

PATREON | TWITTER | STEAM | DISCORD | SUBSCRIBER | BOOSTY

Welcome to our official SubscribeStar page

It's with great pleasure that we announce the debut of our official SubscribeStar page!

Starting today, everything we post on Patreon will also be posted here on our SubscribeStar page.

It'll work as a backup, so if there's a problem with our Patreon, game development will keep active.

Even though we currently have a Patreon, we decided to come to SubscribeStar for the following reasons:

• Bringing in new players by getting SubscribeStar users to try out our game.
• Offer an extra option for those who want to support the development of the project.
• And most importantly: Have a plan B in case there is a problem with Patreon.

The content of the game and the posts will be the same both on Patreon and here on SubscribeStar, and all content will comply with both platforms "Terms of Service".

At first, we only brought the most important posts here, as it would be unfeasible to bring more than 100 posts, but from now on all new posts will be published here too.

The only difference is in relation to Download Keys.
We depend on integration with Itch to automatically distribute keys and SubscribeStar does not have this integration, so we decided to leave keys out of rewards.
We could do this manually, but we don't believe this is the best way to do this, as it would take some time for us to manually deliver the keys to supporters, and we want everyone who supports us to be able to access the keys immediately, so they can enjoy it as soon as possible.
So if you're interested in the keys, it'll have to be done through Patreon.

A bonus is that SubscribeStar promotes adult content creators, so this can help us with divulgation and bring new players to our game.

We hope our future SubscribeStar supporters have fun playing our game and we welcome you to our humble page.
Best regards! ;)
