A little bit of an update and random rambling.

Well to start of the dialogue/story had some major rewrites, was supposed to be just some spicy content and then some but it didn't felt right so I had to start over from scratch. In any case the dialogue is done and I will start rendering soon.

For all Subscribestar members:
This would be the only place I might post the public version because on the other site I found out that I can't post 18+ for free, I'm still not sure about here though I will have to read the TOS first, I will post the public version when everything else is polished because I want people who haven't played the game before have a smooth gameplay instead of hunting for content.

I have a couple of hours during the weekdays to work on the game but the only day I could dedicate a lot to the game is on Sunday so I'm hoping I'll be able to finish by then, while I write the dialogue I usually prepare the scenes in advance so whenever their done I could start rendering right away.

My workflow when creating an update is like this

  1. Write story outline.
  2. Check if the story will work in 3D. (Like if I want a bath scene I will test it out first if I can render a bath scene if I can it will be kept in the story.)
  3. Coding new gameplay stuff if it's needed.
  4. Test renders.
  5. Write the dialogue
  6. Render(Rendering time varies a lot, simple updates and scenes are relatively quick to do but some scenes with a lot of editing needs more time to finish.)
  7. Code/Implementation(I made some automation to this so usually I only need a couple of hours to release the game after rendering.)

1-5 is the most time consuming part of my workflow because of rewrites and it's the most creative process on my workflow.
What will happen after v0.13?
Quite a few things, v0.14 will be a really huge update for the vanilla path because that would release around end of July or August, instead of being silent while I update the game I would post my test renders. After the release of v0.14 I will work on finishing the story's outline and dialogue so starting on December I will be making my new game. Hopefully after September IRL stuff would calm down a bit.
Why not continue working and improving Honest Bond?
Currently the project is a total mess, writing, coding and visuals are all over the place, so many things happened during the development of the game, IRL stuff, improving my skills and the revival of TB.
Honest Bond will come back though, I already written some ideas on how I will re master it but I will need to finish the next game first before I re-master Honest Bond.
What's the next game?
The next game would still be about a younger guy and an a older woman, this time though there will be two women to choose from, the MC would be around 19-21 while the FMC would be around 35-43. The setting would be in college, doesn't sound so exciting though.. but I actually really like what I wrote.
Other ideas I have with some story written.

  • Zombie game where the Main MC is a female taking care of a younger male during the apocalypse. The FMC will face some adversary along the way and the player will have the choice if the FMC will give herself up or fight.

  • The bully MC, the story of this game would be the player/mc is the bully of the FMC's son, the twist though is that the FMC is a gangster and making her submit would be hard and long.

There are 3 things you can always expect in my stories, slow burn, older FMC and a small FMC character pool. I actually don't like a lot of FMC in games like this because whenever I play h-games I only care about 1-3 FMC anyway so taking the time to write/develop more FMC is making me lose interest on that game real quick.

Anyways thanks for reading my ramblings, I'll see you guys on the next version drop.

And finally and as always thanks for the support you guys, you guys have been great, I need to do better.
