Status update - Episode 4

Having a HARD Time · published 5 Aug 2024, 19:09 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hey guys!

We are getting closer to the release of episode 4, but we're not there just yet! Just want to let you all know what I've done so far, what's left, and how development is going in general.

I've been working really hard on episode 4 and I have to say that it is turning out to be quite a fun episode (if I do say so myself). So far the episode has around 1350+ renders and 72+ animations. It's going to be another big episode, similar to episode 3, possibly bigger. There will be plenty of choices, humor, character development, and of course lewd scenes!


However, I still have to put in some more work before it is ready to be enjoyed by you all. Specifically, I still have 2 large (and crucial) scenes to develop. After that, the main story will be mostly done, then what remains are the secret (unlockable) scenes, a few of the weekend scenes, the phone's social media, and of course testing & polishing.

How long this will all take is something I can't really say, all that I know is that most of my time will go into the two scenes for the main story and that it is crucial for me to give these two scenes the time they need. I am aiming for a release in September, and I will certainly do my best, but I will not rush development. So please don't take this as a promise, but more so as an indication.

Love,

~ Quadruple-Q
