You're lucky, christmas is early :) Just did the release.
Scott Guy
I REALLY hope tomorrow is finally the day!! The wait has been killing me! Might I suggest the second beach event with Yvette be part of Version 3.1 or 3.2? That way, we don't have to wait so long for it.
Darkhound
Yup, finally :)
Monsieur X
Oulala, it's getting close !
Darkhound
Not sure I understand what you're refering to exactly. The mentioned "problems" have already been solved.
Puppet Master
Why is "End of day" and time passing the hardest item to finish? Thanks for the update.
Darkhound
I don't think so. A lot of people are waiting for the update to finally be ready :)
J
Hope people didn’t forget about this good game

Was long time ago since the last update has been released (available since 11th of october) ... any idea when we will see the next one?
Puppet Master
Obviously not for this update, but maybe on the shopping app, we could have an option to send a letter and a gift to girl who got sent home. This would let us raise their love and affection while they are away. Also, the absent girl might send a thank you, I miss you email back. This would also drain away some money.
Puppet Master
Just a suggestion, but could the sneak checks be changed to one 3 option choice instead of 2 choices of 2 options. For instance, when you see a girl in the shower or Miriam on the beach, you could have a choice of: Sneak in (you may get caught). Make some noise to intentionally get caught, or Leave. This would get you to the action faster.
Darkhound
Yes, and the list is not finished yet. There will be a lot more entries. The lab stuff is at end of day1 right now. The MC will probably leave on day 3. So there are 2 full days at the lab to fill with content.
BoredKiwi
Could it be that there are still features added to the list, I'm pretty sure it used to be quite smaller :D
Darkhound
You're welcome and thank you for the kind words.
Josh Richardson
Thank you! Excited to see the new content
Darkhound
I don't have a date yet. Please check the new status post I did a couple of minutes ago.
Josh Richardson
Any news yet on when 0.3.0.0 is going to be released?
Darkhound
Yep to Angel's Sectrets :) You have to blame DuckSwim for Alice - it was basically his idea. At least it's based on his idea and an amzing pose he did for Alice. Yvette wanted to have one too and I couldn't say no... Since Amy already has a lingerie scene with a present involved, I decided to ignore her pleas this time :D
SiJa
Alice and Yvette get new lingerie...very nice. Have you been shopping at Angels Secrets... Lol. Think you missed out Amy getting some...lol just kidding.

It takes a lot of time to implement a new area. Just be patient.
Darkhound
0.3.0.0 beta --> no idea yet
Серега Хренвам
when release?
Darkhound
Yes, it as a bit strange. I have fixed it now as well.
JerseyBoy3100
Just a tease? I asked Mercedes to play poker a second time. She agreed on my way back to my room I ran into Ivy, who was just arriving. I waited in my room and at the appointed hour I get the message that I just played poker with Mercedws not long ago. Please ask me again later. ( I feel so used! )
Darkhound
Thanks, fixed it :)
JerseyBoy3100
Odd mixed sequence. While walking on the beach with Lacy, we go for the photo op and then because her lust is too low (69), she puts her bikini top back on and then leaves the beach. The story then reverts back to her topless and inviting MC to the make out session that Miriam then breaks up. Fickle woman.
Brianiac
My hope is to get options for topless bikinis when the ladies are standing around at the beach and pool ;) ;)
Brianiac
Technical-related question: if one of the ladies wanted to, say, answer their hotel door but only wearing half a towel instead of a full towel, would you have to TWO full renders of the image, or could you do a render of the bottom half and then individual renders of the to top halves and have the code randomly choose a top?
Darkhound
There is something wrong with your installation. The file is not missing. You probably copied something to a wrong location.

Haha, who knows, might even really happen :)
Brianiac
One day some volleyball content will be announced and we will all be incredibly surprised and incredibly grateful :)
Darkhound
Thank you :) Yes, it was a pitty, that some of the best scenes of the game could not be repeated. So it was time to do something in that area.
nissebrygger
It is a nice concept to make some of the major and banner events repeatable. Bit like buying a gold collection of games. Sure I know them, but it is nice to see them again. And of course, it is programming and text that needs to be done, not new rendering, so a pretty effective way of making the existing content more widely available.
Darkhound
Thank you :) The game took a ton of time to get it that far.
hisstoryman
Dude you are a machine! Wish Ivy would get a little more love but the content you have is epic in scope.
