Progress Update (26.10.2025) and a little Poll
Hello everyone!
I don't normally post about progress with nothing much positive to say, like today, but I think I need to update you on why progress is slow. But to brighten this up, let's do a poll at the end. So if you don't want to read on why I'm a slow worker (if you still didn't know that), then you can skip to the poll part.
Progress
For now, I'm in the writing process, and it's not that smooth. Usually it takes me about three months to flesh out a script for one story update, but this time it turned out to be more challenging than before. I don't know if it's writer's block, my tiredness, or just complications that go along with how I want the main plot to play out. It is what it is, though. I had two drafts for this update, which I still don't use to the fullest, and rewrite some parts as I go. Which is basically why I don't fill up the progress bar that fast. Because I go back and forth on what I write to make it what I would like myself. And it's quite frustrating at times. To delete a bunch of what you think was good, but you need to admit it needs a rewrite.
But I know what I want from the story, and I strive for it. I want to hold the intrigue, but don't take the player as a fool, like it sometimes happens in similar plots. And I hope I'm in the right direction. And, I think I've passed the hardest part of the script for this update, and I hope it will be easier going onwards.
One of the things that motivates me is lewd moments, which is why I guess I'm making an 18+ game, haha. And this leads me to my next question.
Poll
How many and what lewd moments do you think are needed per update? It's not a question about how much work I should put into it, but rather about what episodes you as a player enjoy.
An answer, "As much as possible", is good but not what I need to hear. :)
If you have played the game and understand the update length, here are some examples. SPOILERS AHEAD:
0.7 - Had two full moments, one with Ami and the other with Helen. One medium moment with Kate and one small animation with Liz.
0.6 - Had some small animations and moments in Truth or Dare with Yui and a big moment with Yui at the end. Which is not a lot, I think.
0.5 - If you don't remember, it was about Kate moving in, and a date with Sophie at karaoke. So there were some small moments with Kate, big moment with Sophie, and a medium moment with Shinigami.
That should give you an understanding of what to vote for!
This will give me some understanding of what you players are expecting. ^^

I’ll keep it short, but I think the way you handled 0.7 was spot-on. I really enjoy the buildup, taking things slow and giving each character and story room to breathe makes the big moments hit . And the animation in 0.7 was amazing. keep up the good work
Thank you! Glad you liked it ^^
You should do a scene with Kate and then have Liz come in in the middle of it, and then go from there.
Or do a scene with Helen and then have Liz come in and have her try to compete.
Or do something with Sophia and ami.
I like the first idea best, but that's just me. 😁
I plan on double scenes, but we will see when and who :)
You can take it slow fam like seriously no rush here. If you need some rest and time for yourself you can do that as well no complaints from me here. Just remember to take care of yourself every now and then. Stay hydrated now fam. 🫡🫡🫡
Yes, but I don't want to keep everyone waiting like with the remake update.
Either way fam we will be here patiently waiting for it, no matter when you have it up!!! 🤣🤣🤣
As long as you're making progress, you'll eventually get there. Even when you're deleting stuff, you are learning, moving closer to writing something that is worth keeping.
If you ever feel bad about not being fast enough, remember that people like George Martin and Patrick Rothfuss exist - both unable and unwilling to finish their stories after more than a decade of zero progress.
In regard to lewd scenes, obviously I'd pick as many as possible - NOT! As much as possible, yes. As many as possible, no. Yes, I said that twice.
It's a flaw in many harem games that as you progress, the story can't develop properly because there are so many girls, each of them having a sex scene every few minutes. So instead of the story steadily ramping up in pace and tension, it peters out into a slow, constantly interrupted trickle. That's unsatisfying when most of the early game was full of story developments. The issue is further exascerbated by the player's... physical limitations for the number of lewd scenes they can enjoy in one sitting, leading them to stop reading to preserve the scenes when they're still interested in more story. It's better to have fewer scenes, but for those to be longer and better fleshed out.
TL;DR: Not necessarily more scenes, but longer, harder, deeper ones.
I can see why too many lewd moments can interrupt the plot. And I want a good mix of both, which is why I decided to go for adult visual novels in the first place. Because good AVNs I've read before usually were either good in plot but lacking lewd moments, or otherwise.
I, personally, think two big moments per update is good, not to emphasize the whole update only on one girl, but being close to that.
The reasoning for the progress is understandable. I myself am no writer... but I am someone who got himself in to a situation where he's trying to be. I am 380,000+words / 700+ pages in to my sudden compulsion, on a whim, to write a novel. .... it has taken me .... 4 years.... but I have barely written a THING in about a year and a half now... chronic writers block.
That is because the passion has ebbed, when the source of the passion waned. I was writing the book, am writing the book, in part, as offer of love, or honouring thereof... and perhaps through my own fickle nature... the person I wished to tribute, means a little less to me now, than they used to... even if I love them still... cos I am bad bad d*ck, or maybe ... probably... just.. man I am having a midlife crisis at almost 50. Yeah probably that. Either way, the passion has waned for the person, and therefor so to, the passion for the writing has with it.
I share this little personal nugget... because it seems like you have something of a rope to grab, whilst floating in the cold... nonproductive.. waters of the writers block. You have a passion for adult content, the Lewd Moments as you call them. You joke a little about it... seem a little bashful... but friend, DO NOT BE. Embrace that, if you are concerned about any blockages of the writing. THAT is all you need. ONE motivation, one element you can find passion in. Believe me... the writers block will vanish, when you realise that you have to write everything before and after the lewd content, as much as that content, to have something to actually BED the lewd content in.
As for the poll... I do not really do social platforms... so I will share my thoughts here too.
I think the adult content so far IS pretty good, but I think there have been some little issues. I definitely think now, this deep in the game, the MC should now...soon... cross all lines with every woman. There should not be 'Just" small.. as you call them... scenes, in any EP now going forwards, I reckon. They can stay... but as natural things what happen between the MC and a given woman, because they're banging like bunnies :P
I say this because irrc, there's still one or two we have not gone all the way with even by what, what are we up to, chapter 6? I think it is time for Shimigimmemore to get ... more. And Pseudo-Mommy too.
As for if something is enough or not... I think quality and nature also matters. If we say the MC goes all in on his women, and his Succubus, like ALLLL in .. the whole three and half inches type in....then once that is established, and those lines crossed.... considering how open they all are to each other with him...save whats her name, the slightly yandere red head... pseudo-sister.... then it would not be unrealistic for our boy to have a lot of 'Small' moments with them... and even if he is taking... a polishing in the bathroom... from one kneeling lady, then a few hours later giving deep digital aid to another in a changing room in the clothes shop... within the narrative of now having established Harem mode... THOSE would be too normal, too expected, to be enough on their own, even if there was half a dozen of them in a episode, you would still need at least one full, top notch scene, maybe even two.. or couple of medium ones. Because once you are that deep with a lover, a sly wristy here, or quick rimmy there isnt even really foreplay, right, just an affordable but amazing gift, that serves as a promise.
BUT, there is some other things that have been sort of touched on... right? Blondie and Bookworm MFF Fun time... was that not what they discussed with the MC on the bed at teachers house? The fact that Shimmigimmemore posed as Blondies cousin.. and Blondie believes it, and thinks she IS... feels like that is setting up... a more.. taboo... sharing scenario (which actually would NOT be, but that is just clever writing :P).... Pseudo-Mommy has by this point, almost capitulated.... and again, even though she is NOT mommy.. it might be HOT AF if our boy, and she leaned in to it, complete with all appropriate dialogue for such an adult RP moment ;). Also, Teach shows she aint scared at a little exhibitionism. She once rolled with a gang, and the squid bike to prove she a bad girl... perhaps that is indicative of her being more willing now she's crossed that line, to do things... all the things... ANYTHING for our MC... anywhere... not just at night, on a pier at the edge of town... but in broad daylight, somewhere much more central, and with much higher risks of being caught, yeah? Maybe?
Sooooo the thing with all the latter is... with special, hot scenes like that... if you reeeeeealllllllly make them long, well paced, well angled, lit, and well written too, to really milk those angles...as in not just big, but even a bit bigger.. so they're epic....just ONE scene like that, could carry a whole EP. Might still need a few little quick small moments as you call them.. but nothing more... because those scenes... and any other well done, long, hot scene, especially if something related to a kink,fetish, or taboo... that really tickles your lewd content love, and ours too...would be more than enough.
So I think that is how the best balance is found. Being case by case. A hot full, big scene, with a few phases, might still not be enough to carry an ep alone, even with some small and medium scenes too... so maybe you do not have so many small or medium ones, and just have another big hot one.... BUT, if that big hot one, turns out to be very big, with a variety of angles, animations, and phases, and it is just about the kinkiest thing the narrative up until that point can justify, or is precluded by sudden shifting narrative to make it almost desperately need happen, so does... then a scene like THAT might well carry the whole EP... you know?
IDK... maybe I that was all way to confusing...but wanted to give you something since you asked for feedback lol.
PS Oh one other thing re lewd scenes.. the ONLY think I would urge you keep in mind is ALWAYS, since this AVN, and A is Adult and V is Visual... is ALWAYS, wherever possible.. SHOW do not TELL. That last scene, in current version of the game, with Teach, on the pier? Well, I did find I really was disappointed you told, but did not SHOW the whole thing. We went one round... then end... on screen exposition, saying we F'd all night... then end of game. THAT really SHOULD have been FULLY shown. Not just a pop up which felt almost an afterthought. That is probably my one little pet hate about the game, in fact, that ending. Though I know from the main game page I am not alone in that.
Thank you for motivating me; I hope you can find your motivational light too.
As for lewd scenes, I think I have an idea of what I want to do but want to know what players expect too. So thank you again for explaining your point so vividly 👍
And I'm thinking about how I can improve that last scene with Helen.
