First anal scene
Reappearance of the jewelry saleswoman
Upgraded to Ren'Py 8.5.3 (fixes rollback playback issue, minor performance improvements, multithreaded image loading)
Removed unused images
The jewelry saleswoman will be the only woman you can interact with and you can skip her entirely. No other women are planned. The focus will remain on the landlady/MC relationship. Since this is the first anal scene you will be forced to play through it but every other anal scene after that will be optional.
The game already has nearly 70,000 words, with one and a half days left + content after the vacation. I also want to go back and add more options so players can choose a romantic or a rough relationship. That could push the game past 100,000 words before even adding the house content.
For context: 35,000 words take about 4–5.5 hours to read. I made the scope far too big for my first project (classic beginner mistake). It's already taken over a year to reach this point and finishing might take another year.
I mentioned on Patreon that I might split the game into two parts. But I'm also considering shortening the planned house content instead. I want to release the game this year so I can focus on my next project (already in the works!).
I need to make a trailer for Steam & YouTube. I don't understand how other VN developers do it when 30–40% of the game is still missing. I can't show pregnancy content without using placeholder images that won't be in the final game. Still figuring this out but one should be ready in ~2 months.
Here are some characters from my other game, Hollow Point Heart. A demo is in progress, but full development will start after One Week Away is finished.
