Eros Academy 2.3 -Public Release
🕑 Added 2019-01-21 07:07:15 +0000 UTCAlright! Finally time for the 2.3 Public Release...but first a small, slightly unhappy note:
As my Patrons already know (or should, given that I've made it clear in several posts over the last 4 months), I will be halting development on Eros Academy, at least for the foreseeable future. As much as I hate to do that with the game I've spent just under 2 years developing, there are three extremely good reasons for me doing so. If you don't care about the whys, just skin down to the links and release notes.
1) Hardware failures - My good graphics card that I use for rendering has been in the process of failing for the past two-three months. I've nursed it along via using a few tricks like baking it, but the truth is that I'm expecting it to outright die in the not-so-distant future...and I can't afford to replace it with a similarly capable model. This is compounded by the fact that one of my main hard drives died several months back and I lost quite a few of the Daz3D files for Eros Academy. Some of it was backed up (it should all have been, but there was a series of unfortunate events) which allowed me to finish out 2018 development. However, the loss of those files made things much harder and prevented me from ever adding to certain locations again, since I can't realistically duplicate the hacked-together combination of assets I used to make them.
2) I've come to utterly loathe working with Daz3d. It's good software for rich people. Sadly, I'm not a rich person and trying to develop with it on a shoestring is a %^$#ing nightmare.
3) I figured out by stretching myself much too thing last year that I simply couldn't handle trying to develop two games at once. Given numbers 1 and 2, Eros is the one I'm putting a halt too. It's possible I may pick it up again at some later point, but that's probably not all that likely, given the loss of many of it's development files. Sadly.
---------------------
Now that the potentially upsetting bit is over....the good news is there's still this one last big public release! Bit first, for the impatient, the Links:
PC Version
Mac Version
What's New Since the Last Public Release:
There are 87 new renders since the last public release! They are spread across a number of places (obviously) including new Naomi content, New Scenarios, and a new random encounter.
- The Chastity Exercise Challenge! Finally! Via this 18 render event, found via the Exercise Menu in the Main Hallway, Faith can now participate in Eros Academy's famous Chastity Exercise Challenge. If she chooses to join, she'll be locked in a belt for two weeks, with only toys charged by her exercise routine to get her off! (Note: Because I never implemented a calendar into Eros Academy, the 'two weeks' happen in snap-shots all at once).
- A Thief's Punishment! A new scenario (free from the scenario menu on the main hallway menu). Faith can act out the part of a pickpocket whose been capture in the City of Sune, a town dedicated to a goddess of pleasure! Watch as her punishment takes the form of being put up for Public Use by the rest of the city in this 9-render scenario...
- Tomb Delver! A new premium 26 render scenario that's a rather blatant parody of the Tomb Raiser series ^_^.
- 2 new additions to the Challenge board in Naomi's apartment ('Go do something at Naomi's place', from the 'Do something special' menu after you ask her to be your girlfriend). The new challenges are: The Chastity Day challenge and the Strip-Club challenge. Go check them out!
- A new 11 render random encounter, also making use of the new chastity belt asset. Use 'Explore the Academy until you stumble into an Eros Academy employee raffling off the key of a girl in chastity...
- Various bugfixes and some spelling/grammar corrections.

Well, that's very unfortunate. Eros Academy is the reason I keep an eye on your stuff. I hope you continue it in the future, but until then, I'm out. Thanks for the work you've done so far, I suppose.
