Development Update #1 - March 20, 2017
🕑 Added 2017-03-20 16:34:38 +0000 UTC Hi there guys!First Dev Update time!
So first of all, holy shit! We smashed 4 goals, and reached over $2,000 in pledges in a little more than a week! You guys are awesome! Thank you so much for the support, and the amazing comments and feedback!
Now let's get down to business!
So I've received a few questions after we reached the 3rd goal, Quitting my job. I did not expect it so fast! I was a bit scared at first, leaving a stable job. But all of you guys who pledged, put your faith in me. So the least I can do is to put my faith in you, and dive right in, so this morning, I've submitted my resignation. I still have to work at my regular job until April, but after that, I'm developing the game full-time! As a child I always wanted to make games (although at that time, not these kind of games, haha), and now I can fulfill my dream thanks to you, dear Patrons! And for that, I will forever be grateful!
- I've been working on the Exclusive Image Pack of Tracy for $20+ Patrons, you will get it early next week!
- The first poll for all $10+ Patrons is coming this Friday, and you will be able to vote for 2 weeks.
- I've set up a Twitter account, you can follow me there as well.
About Episode 2
We've just hit the $2000 Goal, but I anticipated it, judging by the rapid growth of support over the last week, so I already set in motion my masterful plan! I've contacted a veteran programmer to help me with a few things, you'll see in Episode 2.
There will be several new things, including (a) new game mechanic(s)!
This will give more freedom to the players and a completely new element to the game! I can't just tell you what it is yet, I'd rather show you in the coming weeks with some previews. However, I can tell you, nothing grindy, or button mashing, or anything like that. I think it will fit the game perfectly and I hope you will like it!
I've been working on writing the script in the past week. It's not easy, keeping all the decision relevant and interesting, all the while developing the story, and putting in the naughty stuff, but I like a challenge, and it has been going great! In the meantime, I was also working on the images of some of the scenes that are already finalized in the script, those are only awaiting to be coded into the game. I still had to work a lot at my regular job, but I'm satisfied with the progress.
- When will you release Episode 2?
As you guys are most likely aware, I'm making Episode 2 to be longer than the first. With that, and the new mechanics, it takes a longer time to finish, but I plan to release sometime in late April. It's not set in stone, but I'm doing my best. Quality is the most important for me. That is all I can say for now.
And there it is again, a wall of text... Please tell me in the comments if you prefer posts like this, where I go into detail or shorter ones.
And again, thank you guys so much for the support and great comments and messages!

Thank you Napkinholder! Yeah, the subtle changes in dialogue scattered throughout the game will continue in all Episodes! Making a game with a good story where player choices have a real impact is always hard, and takes a lot if planning beforehand. But that's what I'm here to do! Thank you for the support!
Gotta say - love the way this game is! I hope you continue to make the game feel like every choice matters, I know that is tough but it really goes a long way - it's the reason I chose to make my very first patreon contribution ever to you! :D I like how the choices change some of the more subtle dialogue instead of only changing scenes later on, I wasn't expecting that. I thought it would be one of those stupid games where you say something nice and get to see some boob and if you say something mean then nothing. Anyway, really looking forward to some quality work :)

What a cruel tease :-P
Lewdlab
Thank you guys! I will make it worth :)
Lewdlab
Great, I see you guys prefer the more in-depth posts, I'll keep doing those. Great progress has been made today, the previews are coming soon ;)

Nevermind the wall of text. i like to hear from those i follow. can hardly wait till the end of april
OZ
Yeah, will do the same :-)
h, it sounds good, i think about an upgrade to mad scientist is comming here haha
Nice so our actions as to what we choose won't impact the overall game in terms of story?
Lewdlab
It's always gonna be optional, the main scenes won't change, only you have the option to approach it from 'different angles' as Marcus said, haha
Lewdlab
Thanks McFly! I see! The feedback you guys are giving me is really helpful! I can't wait to show you guys what's next ;)
Haha no problem as long as us non-foot lovers are not denied access to amazing sex scenes/scenarios because we didn't choose the foot route. 😁
Lewdlab
That's interesting, thanks for the ideas abzurtable! Also, I already own the domain lewdlab.com, I'm working on a lot of things, a website/community forum is one of them. I'll consider the 2.5k goal suggestion :)
Lewdlab
Thank you very much! You won't be disappointed. Crisp hands all over again haha!
Lewdlab
I know most of the people are not into feet, but most games there are only 1-2 scenes with it, so I wanna include it. And of course, plenty of of those options as well!
McFly
Great post and congrats on the early success! I def prefer the wall of text personally. If I have interest in something and the creator takes the time to write out what their thoughts/visions are moving forward, I will always take the time to read to the last word. Plus these really help to bide time between episode releases. Also, this goes without saying, but I feel compelled anyway; The mom is legit fire (that title screen!! :o). A job well done indeed...... looking forward to future twisted scenarios with her.
i like text walls actually. Also i find it interesting that your 2.5k goal is soundtrack. Wouldnt it be better to upgrade pc hardware/software or i dont know maybe an internet site a forum for all of us?
Zootographer
Alas. Patience is not aan virtue i posess. But i can live with that.

Congrats Sin, i have absolute confidence the next episode will be even better than the first, which is already this good.^^
Not a big feet guy but if you keep giving us great ass, boobs, and pussy (and eventual mouth) options, I won't mind so much about the feet. Lol 😃
im very impatiently !
Lewdlab
Thank you! I'll try to not make you wait too long :)
Lewdlab
There will be plenty of feet options :)

Zootographer
Congratulations , keep up the good work, I wiil stay here and wait impatiently LOL like all of us
Lewdlab
Thank you! I must say I love feet myself, haha!
Lewdlab
Thank you Brian!
