Happy New Years! The update is almost ready, just sanding some edges and buffing the hood. So like we said in the retrospective, we're doing another promo art for this update...a New Year's Kiss! Which means we need TWO people to be voted on (and yes...

Hey! LG here. Hope the winter holidays are treating you well. Before I get into the retrospective, an update on the next update. We effectively tripled the dialog in Joker's Trip, added a new Joker scene, and added a new mechanic where girls can leave once they earn enough dough (as well as a bunch of other things). The initial test build for QA...

Imagine if you will, being asked to write three characters. No not "abc" but three fully realized fictional characters with hopes and dreams. Each character has 10 events where they need to be able to say some kind of line, and each event needs at least 5 lines that deliver who they are as a person without coming off as one-note.

Hey!
So, TT had (elective, non-emergency) surgery this month. Recovery and his other jobs took a big chunk out of his Joker’s Trip work, hence why it’s been pretty quiet around here. He's doing better now and has been trucking along on Meredith’s update, and just has one more CG to write and illustrate before he can move on to ...

i always forget that devlogs don't need to be a full 'here's how we did it!' process post so much as they can just be 'here's what we're working on!' posts. it's my comic artist background. surely everybody wants to know exactly how i do what i do rather than just that i'm doing it.
anyway. here's what i'm doing.

Hey hope you're enjoying the new build that dropped yesterday! If you unlocked a scene and notice the letter is dark purple instead of red, that's not a bug, nor is it locked.
