Hello everybody, This week I've finished Bimbo's main scene for v.0.17, and I've caught up on a lot of admin stuff and completed several more pages of the walkthrough which is getting very close to being done.

To save redoing it, I'm going to update it to v.0.17 (the next update) and release the update with an up to date walkthrough included from the main menu. One small bit of admin news is that I got the Reddit unbanned (nothing bad just lack of moderation whilst I was away) so if you get your news from there you should now be able to again. In terms of what will be in v.0.17 is that it will feature Monday morning and afternoon, with a scene with each of the main LIs (Lydia, R Steph, Bimbo (huge scene), Ellie, Vanessa, Jenna), a couple of surprises and several story scenes building up to the big finale! I've now done most of the story stuff and Bimbo's fun, and next week I'll be finishing Lydia's content which will focus on fulfilling her "dream" and getting a cook/cleaner for her new house, so there will be some Lydia previews coming next. Thanks for all the new and continued support! WP

Defending Lydia Collier Development Log

Defending Lydia Collier v.0.16.2 Released!

Defending Lydia Collier v.0.16.1 Released!

Hello everybody! Just an update on how the next update is coming along, and the last couple of weeks I've been focusing on adding in achievements to the game. I've got all the technical parts of it working now, and I'm getting close to finishing off all the reward images and sending it out for testing. With Defending Lydia Collier v.0.16.1 there will now be an achievements tab where you can view all the achievements, get a brief guide on how to unlock the ones that aren't secret, and as you complete them it will give you an unlockable gallery with each achievement granting you a new image. You can also press the portrait to turn it into a gallery of all the images. You'll also get an in-game notification letting you know the achievement has been unlocked, and all of these achievements will mirror with new Steam achievements that will also be added. As an example I've shown the easiest achievement, completing the first day, and the reward picture you get for it. There will be 54 Achievements and reward images coming with v.0.16.1.





So far I have completed: Made all coding for achievements, the gallery, the notifications etc and tested it myself, and made most of the images. I've edited the early code when the paths branch, so you'll now get some dialogue and warning when an option will exit your current path. No more accidently abandoning Steph by taking Ellie on a date, you'll now be warned! I've moved the early computer flags into persistent data for ease of replayability. For example, once you've found out where Eve is on one playthrough, you won't have to do it again on future playthroughs. You no longer need to place a bet on Day 1, again making replayability smoother. I've added in some options to work in the evenings if you're doing nothing else, making it possible to complete both the projects without cheating. Small update with Vanessa and Tiffany moving them back to the UK. This features new adult scenes with Tiffany and Sophie. Vanessa and Tiffany will ALSO have content in v.0.17, this is just to re-unite all the branches together and this isn't their major Monday content. I still need to complete: 19 remaining achievements and their images. Tiffany's phone from the Wedding Night, as many people will be replaying for achievements I want to have this working in this update but its going to need have some coding work done and some more custom images and nudes for Tiffany on there. Custom audio for Ellie's hotel night which is currently soundless. Some different nude images for the most recent night with Helena, Emma and Ellie as the current ones move some of the girls to the wrong location. Updating the walkthrough to v.0.16. I should have all the achievements done hopefully by the weekend if not early next week, and then I'll send these out for testing to Alpha testers to make sure they're all working when v.0.16.1 comes around. Thanks for all the new and continued support! WP

Hello everybody! I hope you enjoyed the Defending Lydia Collier v.0.16 update and all the new content added Sunday evening. Next up with be Defending Lydia Collier v.0.16.1 which will be released at some point in May, an exact date will be set once this is in Alpha testing as it will require some more intensive testing than usual updates. Just to briefly cover version numbers, from now on the major number will only change when an entire day's new content is complete. "v.0.16.x" updates will be adding in a significant amount of new content or features, "v.0.16.x.X" updates will be bug fixes with no new content. When the entirety of Monday is released, the version will flip to "v.0.17". In the Defending Lydia v.0.16.1 update, there will be two new things added: Firstly it will contain a small update featuring Vanessa, Tiffany and co which will see them return from the Island to the UK. With Monday advancing the game's story, it is important to get all the routes coming back together so this is the first thing that needs to happen.
Secondly, it will contain achievements and an unlockable gallery. I've been working on this for a while, and there will be an initial 50 different achievements for you to unlock, and each one will reward you with an unlockable image in the new secret gallery that will also be coming with it.
These images aren't "canon" to the story, they're just a fun way of putting the various characters in different situations and scenes in one off renders. Achievements feature both as in-game achievements, and also as Steam Achievements. Thanks for all the new and continued support! WP

Very small bug fix that should resolve reported gallery errors.

Defending Lydia Collier v.0.16 Update Release!

This update adds in the final new scene of Sunday, featuring Lydia and Ellie!

Fixes audio issues created by earlier bug fix.

Very Small Additional Bug Fix: Fixes issue with Jenna and Naomi's gallery icons not showing properly. Corrects false flag toggle when trying to switch from Jenna/Naomi to Jenna Solo.

Change Log: Adds in new evening content for the Lydia Solo Path, with 457 new renders and the longest adult scene yet. Adds in PDF Walkthrough and link to it on the main menu. I hope you enjoy this update whilst I continue to work on the major v.0.16 update. Thanks for the support! WP

Hello everybody, Firstly I'd like to say a huge thanks to everybody who has purchased the game! This is the first thing I've released on Steam and all the purchases, reviews, feedback, discussions and everything else that has been posted here has been great to see. So what's next? Currently I'm working on v.0.16, which will be an update that greatly expands the latest day in the game and finished off the evening. I'll detail more on exactly what I'm working on further down, but I'll list what else is coming in v.0.16 first for those who want to avoid spoilers. These updates are substantial and do take a little while for me to create, so please be patient, I expect v.0.16 to be ready in the summer. Achievements - Both in-game and Steam Achievements will be coming with v.0.16, and there will be more than 50 of them to collect down a variety of paths. Unlockable Images - Linked to achievements and other milestones in game, there will be a collection of new unlockable images for you to find and fill a secret gallery. Redesigned Social Media - I've learnt a lot whilst developing this game, and the original mobile system is a bit dodgy, has some bugs and also isn't really accessible or that easy to use. With v.0.16 I'll be moving the "Our Moments" pages to the laptop, with a new UI design and changing profiles. How you interact with the girls will change what they post. Huge New Scenes - v.0.16 is going to be a big, big update. Thousands of new renders, multiple new scenes for multiple different girls and something for everybody. In Game Link to Walkthrough - Currently there is a walkthrough that you can find pinned on my Twitter (@WhitePhantom18) and its free to download. In the past I've always used links for downloads so this has worked fine, but with Steam many people, understandably, don't want to go to a third party website to get the walkthrough, so in future it will be bundled with the game and launchable from inside the game. DLC's purchase fee covers everything, so there won't be any charge for this. I post weekly development logs on Twitter and my website, I won't post weekly here as I don't think anybody wants their Steam feed filled up with "this week I did this scene" etc, but I'll post here a bit more frequently going forwards so you know what's going on. Stop reading here if you don't want any spoilers, and thanks again! Now, for a bit more detail on v.0.16. Many characters will be getting new scenes, and the majority are getting more than one. These include: Ellie, Lydia, Stephanie (plastic surgery route), Vanessa, Sophie, Tiffany, Helena and Emma. Here are some previews!




Thanks again for all the support! WP

Minor update fixing several bugs.

Small changes to Documentation.

Defending Lydia Collier has now been released on Steam! A Huge Thanks for all the support in getting the game this far, and there will still be more to come as the game is still a work in progress. Please let me know if you have any problems or errors and I'll do my best to fix them as soon as possible! I hope you enjoy the release and the content! White Phantom
