The return of the prodigal dev
🕑 Added 2025-10-18 21:13:08 +0000 UTCHey guys, I'm so glad I can communicate with you again, without feeling guilty of abandoning my project, because I never did. I can list a series of events that held me back all this time, including family crisis, work changes and burnout, but I don't think they matter much now. The main reason was really, lack of inspiration to write something worthy. Because, among the various endings, every time I had a decent idea, I worked non stop like the old days. Every time though, I hit a mental block I stopped, sometimes for days, trying to find the inspiration.
So, what's ready so far. First of all, I've finished the top actress ending, the top dancer ending and with the top model ending already finished, I can safely say, I have completed the top 3 professions for MJ. Next, I've finished the nude model side story including a couple of animated scenes with Bella. By the way, each ending has a different animated scene for the end.
I've completed the MC's past story (explaining the reason he took the fall initially for Candy - the moral compensation as the shrink diagnosed), and I've succesfully introduced the 1-2-3 die score each time the MC forbids MJ to enter a square, adding more control to the die roll.
I've used some AI images in moderation but worked much to not make them stick out much.
Finally, I had some back and forths with the mechanics of the endings:
Depending on MJ's past so far, choices and stats, the endings will be as follows:
1. TOP ACTRESS: Taylor's blessing (5 stars) + the MC must have met Tori Brooks at Sappho in Love premiere, at least once.
2. TOP MODEL: MJ must have made it to the Fashion Party + Stephanie's blessing (5 stars)
3. TOP DANCER: Rwanda's blessing (5 stars) + DMC recommendation letter
Now, if none of the above endings are met, then depending on MJ's PERV score, she might choose Lewd or vanilla careers.
These are not completed though.
Lewd: Nude model, nude fighter, stripper and cornstar (part time side careers all of them)
Vanilla: Acting with Taylor's crew, Dancing part time and teaching, keep on working as a hostess in Helen's Bistro.
There are also some other factors to consider, like the Mercedes ending (which was already finished), MJ's love or not endings (3 ready with animated scenes), Lea and Bethany's endings which will probably be shorter than the others.
I'm thinking of going straight to the end, instead of releasing a 0.95 version that will have a lot of 'work in progress' messages but I'm not sure yet. Maybe I'll finish what I can until the end of the month and decide from there.
Thank you. Thank you all for believing in me and in this project. Besides being the developer I'm also the first player to see what's coming, and I already love it. Can't wait to share it with you all. Stay safe.
