New Patron Release! Eros Academy 1.3!
🕑 Added 2017-03-31 04:02:21 +0000 UTC Alright! It's finally here! And it contains lots of stuff! The only thing I didn't manage to get in was the re-balancing I wanted to do to various stat gains...but there's a reason for that. When I was testing the new additions, something caused the Arousal and Inhibition bars to poof. Trouble is, I didn't do anything to that part of the code, and for the life of me I can't figure out what did it. For obvious reasons, I decided to leave off on fiddling with those systems for this update. I'll dig into the code and figure out what's going on. Though, on that note, if anyone happens to notice WHERE those bars disappear at, please drop a line letting me know. I didn't notice they vanished for some time, since I was focusing on debugging other stuff, which complicates the issue.Anyway! On to the update notes! And the Links! You'll notice that the majority of the update revolved around fleshing out Lily.
(You should probably read the update notes, but here are the download links!)
Eros Academy 1.3 (Untested Mac Version)
New Stuff for Version 1.3:
-You can now do a lot more like Lily in her office. If you have high enough relationship with her you can Massage her Shoulders, Grope her Boobs, and Give and Receive Oral Sex. More to the point you can now...
-Ask Lily out on a Date. Take Lily out to a nearby cafe (if your relationship is good enough). There you can get new chat lines, and have some fun. This also introduces the first use of the...
-Dom/Sub mechanic. The bones of the system have been there for the last couple of updates, but this is the first time there are checks for it. The thing you can do on the date will change target depending on how high your dominance score is in comparison to Lily's. There are also completely different paths for a Dominate and Submissive Faith in...
-A new major sex scene at Faith's Apartment, after your date with Lily (if your relationship is good enough!). Content is completely different depending on who is in charge.
-In addition, Naomi is now in the game. You can find her at the Indoor Pool. She has chat lines and a few interactions, but not a lot of content overall. She's intended to be a harder character to romance, so I couldn't rush in a major sex scene for her.
-There is also a Temporary new scene on the random encounters list. 20% of the time you "explore the academy" you will get a text-only scene whose sole purpose is to allow easy manipulation of the Dominance Stat. Technically, this wasn't strictly needed, I was able to manipulate the stat using already existing scenes for testing purpose. However, I happen to know what literally everything does, since I wrote and programmed it all. As there simply aren't very many scenes that give dom/sub changes in the game yet, I added the temp scene for player convenience.
The Next Update:
Alright. So...read this through all the way please, if you read this section at all. The game is still being developed, and will continue to be! However, Eros Academy hasn't really produced much interest in the adult game community. You, my Patrons, are amazing. But, aside from your pledges, I've struggled to get even the most basic feedback from...well, pretty much anyone. This is incredibly disheartening given the amount of time I have to pour into the game to produce updates the size I have been. As a result, the APRIL update (the next update not this one), will be my last monthly update, unless interest picks up. Wait! Don't run yet! When this change happens, IF it happens, I'm planning to flip my Patreon Page over to a "per creation" setup. This will allow me to take 2-3 months for an update of similar size to the current ones, without costing my lovely supporters a penny more for the same size content packages. Moreover, IF I do this, I will be altering the Private/Public release schedule so that the public release is always one full update behind, rather than an arbitrary two weeks.
As for what is in the next update...I'll be running a poll on that in the next couple of days. I've made the call to open the poll up to all Patrons, with more weight given to the $10 supporters. (Need to figure out how to do that, but I've seen it done, so I know it's possible). Because of this I will be focusing all my immediate project time on completing the first Mixed Media Story Reward for the $10 tier people. I want to make sure you are getting something awesome for the extra support. Hopefully, the first one will be available within just a few days, but I can't be completely certain on the exact timing.

Aww :-(. Thank you for the support! And it isn't a completely sure thing yet. It's always possible that interest in the game will pick up over the next month. I just didn't want to spring this on my supporters on short notice, so I brought it up now. As it is, working full time plus putting 2-3 hours per day into the game is killing me. I have to be able to cut back on one or the other =-(.

Aww, just my luck. I decided to pledge right when you decide to slow down development. ;_; I think the game's really well made and I hope it gets a lot more attention, it deserves it!
Novus
Thank you! The feedback means a lot. Doubly so as I haven't forgotten that you were my very first Patron :-). Thanks so much for the support!

You're doing great work so far. Having a game where the MC has this much free agency is a gem, and the NPCs aren't a bunch sleaze balls is icing on the cake. Your efforts are certainly not wasted.
