Update 17 Progress Report and Spoiler Changelog

Hey everybody! Here's the new title screen for Update 17. Went with the MILFs this time, as they all have big scenes in the update, and I don't think that Mrs. Mills has ever been on the title screen (except for the Premium Edition promo that I did all the characters on).

The content for Update 17 is completed and I've been testing and polishing all week. It's getting there - there's still some things I have to take care of before it goes to Alpha testers next week. I'm tracking down some music and sound effects and getting those in place. Redoing some menus and cleaning up some things to make the game flow better. Just the normal stuff. And I'm also working on a trailer for the new update, as well.

That's about everything I've been working on. I started getting sick last night (throat swollen, mucus, hard to swallow, tired). I think I must have picked up something at the gym yesterday. It's pretty frustrating, because I have so much to do right now, but hopefully it won't take me down too much.

Below this, I'm going to post the current changelog for Update 17, which has some mild spoilers as to what new scenes are going to be in the game, so skip it if you don't want any spoilers.

Hope you all have an amazing weekend! Love ya!

BUG FIXES/CHANGES

- Fixed Park appearing twice on Adrian's date list when meeting Kendra for the first time.

- Fixed indicator not showing for Adrian's buttplay option on the freesex screen.

- Fixed an inconsistency where you could have a conversation about Adrian wanting a motorcycle after Athena already gave one to her.

- Fixed an inconsistency where Adrian is naked, but puts on a shirt to take a cumshot to the face.

- Fixed a weird dissolve in Adrian's movie theater date.

- Fixed a clipping error in Adrian's movie theater bonus outfit.

- Fixed a couple of instances where the phone showed a weird blank red screen.

- Fixed an inconsistency where you can have a threesome with Bai and Adrian before kissing Bai, on his love path.

- Fixed an inconsistency where Bai changes clothes during the middle of a park or movie date when on the friends-only path.

- Fixed a problem where Bai would kiss you and invite you over to fuck while you're on the friends-only path. Oops.

- Fixed a couple of instances where it is night time, but an image of the outside of the house during the day is shown.

- Fixed an issue where the replay of "Jamie spends the night" only replayed the second half of the scene.

- Fixed an inconsistency where Jez would tell you that she needs to get home to take care of her son, then immediately afterwards say that her son isn't at home and you should come home with her to fuck.

- Fixed an issue where there are two Park options for a morning date with Juliana when she meets Izzy for the first time.

- Fixed an issue where when taking Juliana out on a date after work, it acts like you're talking to her on the phone and going to her house to pick her up afterwards.

- Fixed an issue in the Premium version where the beach date with Juliana isn't counted towards her completion.

- Removed the option to decline sex with Kendra in the park restroom after giving her the new skateboard - declining sex with her was causing a lot of inconsistencies in future dialogue. That scene is intended to be the first time you have sex with her - in that filthy park restroom.

- Fixed an issue where the indicator was not showing for doggy position on kendra freesex screen.

- Fixed an issue where you could have anal sex in different positions with Kendra before having anal missionary sex, which makes the conversation in that scene not make sense. Now missionary anal automatically happens before any other anal.

- Fixed an issue where when taking Kendra to the park restroom after a date, she would change back into her skatergirl outfit post-sex instead of the clothes she wore on the date.

- Fixed an missing image issue that caused a crash in the premium edition with Kendra's alternate go-kart date outfit.

- Fixed the Lisa conversation replays, which were causing errors and crashes.

- Fixed an inconsistency where you take Mari out for a date to the bar after work, but it describes the MC going to her house to pick her up.

- Fixed an issue where after the Mrs. Mills bondage scene, it would not go to the next time of day correctly.

- Fixed an inconsistency where Reba will say that she's only slept with the MC, after she has had a threesome with the MC and Mari.

- Fixed an inconsistency where you could have a conversation with Suzy about her fantasies, including anal sex, after you have actually had anal sex with her already. Now you have to have that conversation before the anal sex scene will happen.

- Replaced all of Jez's Luigi's date images that were slightly out of focus.

- Fixed literally every grammar and spelling mistake possible.

January Progress Report

Hey everybody! It's been a little while since I posted a progress report! I wanted to give Update 16 a little time to soak in before I started talking about Update 17.

But I've been hard at work on the next update for a while now. Everything is looking good so far. It's a little smaller than the last few updates have been, but that means that it won't take quite as long to release.

With Update 17, I really feel us getting closer to the end of the game. I wouldn't say that this is a "filler" update, because there is some character story stuff that happens here, but in a lot of ways this is the last update that I can fit certain scenes in before we start the endgame rolling. So, this update is mostly sex. There's not any "main story" progression in it. I'm trying to put the content in here that I want in the game before we start wrapping up the main story.

So let's tease a little of what Update 17 is going to contain:


  • Major scenes for Dana, Suzy & Tammy, Juliana, Adrian, Mrs. Mills, and Jez.
  • New date locations for Lisa, Suzy & Tammy, and Nora.
  • New sex options for almost every character, including 7 threesome scenes (4 of which pair previously unpaired characters).
  • Several things that have been promised earlier in the game are delivered.
  • Additional voice acting, including at least one character who was previously unvoiced.

Premium Edition will also gain more bonus content:

  • Bonus date locations for Mi-Cha and Brandi.
  • A bonus scene involving a threesome with Lisa.
  • A bonus scene involving a threesome with Izzy and a possibly surprising third.
  • Bonus date outfits for Bai, Brandi, Dana, Izzy, Jez, Kendra, Lisa, and Mi-Cha.
  • At least 20 new images for the bonus gallery.

So, if you like sex, there's a lot of it in the update. If you're more into the character stories, there's some good stuff here as well, especially for Juliana, Adrian, and Jez.

As said, there's no main story progression here though. So if you're here for the main story, not going to see anything for it in this update. This will be the last update with no main story progression though, as Update 18 will launch us into the endgame. It's going to be a wild ride.

Besides the stuff I've highlighted here, I'll continue to update and improve the menus, fix bugs, and improve the game as much as I possibly can.

So, when is Update 17 going to release?

Right now, I'm about 60% done with the content in the update. But after finishing the content, I still spend a couple weeks testing, coding, updating menus and polishing everything. Then another week in alpha testing and another week in beta testing. So it's still a little ways away.

These dates are tentative, but I feel pretty good about them:

  • Premium Edition - April 5th
  • Free Edition- April 26th

That's pretty much all I have for you right now! Thanks for all the support you've given me. Hope you are all doing fantastic and staying warm wherever you are. Love ya!

Update 16 Free Version Released

Hey everybody! Update 16 is now out for the free version.

Hope you enjoy all the new content! Check the changelog on the main menu if you want to see everything that was added since the last version. Also, check the character pages and it'll show all content that you haven't seen for each character. Hope you enjoy!

To premium edition players, there is also a patch here to fix some of the bugs and inconsistencies that have been found in the last few weeks. All of those changes are in the changelog as well.

As always, let me know if you have any issues, either here or through Discord. After today, I'm taking a few days off for the holidays, so if there's anything wrong, after today I won't be available to fix it until next week. Hopefully it all works out okay!

Hope you all have happy holidays, if it's something you celebrate! Stay safe! Thanks for all the support! Love ya!

Update 16 Trailer and November Progress Report

Hey everybody!

Check out the trailer for the new update!

https://vimeo.com/882634182 <- link here, until I can get Steam to upload the trailer properly.

Hope you enjoy it and it gets you pumped up for release. I'm really excited about it. I'm so ready for this one to be out and for you all to play it.

Over the last month, despite getting married and taking a week off for my honeymoon (it was great, thank you for all the congrats and well wishes), I also finished up all the content in the Update and have been testing it and improving things. I think you'll all like the additions I've made. I'm always looking for ways to make the menus more clear, the hint system more robust, and the sandbox less cumbersome.

Next week I'll be sending the Update over to my alpha testers, then it will go into beta the week after that. Reminder that beta release is for my high-tier ($20+) subscribers over on Patreon, if you want to get in on that. Then the week after, the Premium Edition will release here on Steam. Here's the dates, to make it a little more clear:

Beta ($20+ Patrons) - November 27th
Premium Edition - December 4th
Free Edition - December 22nd

This is the first time I've not released on a Friday and am instead releasing the beta and premium edition on a Monday. This is because of Thanksgiving. I'll be out of town for the Thursday and Friday around Thanksgiving, so won't be able to get the final touches done on the Beta release until the weekend. That pushes the Premium release back a couple of days as well. And I decided to keep the free release on Friday two weeks later.

That's pretty much it! I'm really excited about this update. I'm feel very good about it. I can't wait for you all to play it. It's looking very good.

Share the trailer around to anybody you think might like the game! Love all of y'all and thank you for all the support you've given me! Take care and see you in just a few more weeks with the Update!

October Progress Report

Hey everybody! I wanted to let you all know what's going on with development of the update right now.

I'm still working hard on it and am about 80% done with the content at this point. I expect to be finished with the content by the end of the month, but after that there is still some coding that I have to do - improving the menus, adding all the hint text, things like that - plus all the testing that has to happen before release.

So I'm currently still expecting release for the Premium Edition to be close to the beginning of December and then the Free Edition two weeks after that.

Another thing that is slowing down production a bit. I'm actually getting married this month. My partner and I have been together for 10 years and we're finally making it legal. So that's taking a little time away from my work. And we have a honeymoon planned for the end of the month that I'll be taking a week off for.

Things are looking good though. The update is coming along nicely. I love working on this game. I love all the fans and you have all been so supportive and amazing. Thanks for everything!

September Progress Report

Hey everybody! I wanted to let you all know how things are going on the development end right now.

Update 15 was released in July and I've been working on Update 16 non-stop since then. It's a big update and I'm close to halfway done with it right now. I don't have a release date to tell you on it yet, but expect it to be somewhere around the beginning of December.

Just to tease a little though, here are some of the things you can expect to see in Update 16:


  • Major scenes with Suzy, Tammy, Izzy, Nora, Brandi, and Bai.
  • For the first time, dates with Lisa.
  • New date locations for Suzy/Tammy, Dana, Izzy, and Bai.
  • The return of Brandi Chat.
  • Tons of new sex options for almost every character, including 4 threesomes and 2 foursomes.
  • Around 800 new images and 56 new animations.


The Premium Edition also gets some more bonus stuff:

  • A new Souls of War scene with Adrian.
  • A threesome scene involving Gertrude.
  • Bonus beach date with Juliana.
  • Alternate date clothing options for Brandi (Theater), Dana (Bar), Izzy (Theater), Jez (Luigi's), Kendra (Grotto), Mi-Cha (Theater), Reba (Lake), Suzy (Jackson Burger).



There's a whole lot more than this, but this is just the highlights. I also plan on spending more time on the menu system and improving that a bit, adding more functionality to it and visual appeal as well. I realize that some people were disappointed that the percentages were taken away in the last update and while I don't plan on adding them back in the same form, I'll be putting something else there that accomplishes the same thing in a better way, I think.

Okay, that's pretty much all I have right now. I'm getting back to work. Still have a long way to go before the update is finished. I'll make another progress report next month. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them down in the comments. I read most of the comments that you guys make and I'll answer what I can.

Thanks as always for all the support you've given me! Love ya!

A Small Hotfix

This was just a tiny patch to remove the Patreon and Subscribestar links from the main menu. I had accidentally left them in. Steam does not like that and could remove the game over it, so gotta remove them.

June Progress Report

Hey everybody! Here's a quick update on what is going on with me and the game right now.

Personal Stuff

First of all, thanks for the outpouring of support in the last post, where I talked about my partner's mom passing. It's been a really hard time.

We're still mourning her loss, but there have been some good things that have happened in the last month as well. We moved to a new house, which is a much better living situation for us. I have fast internet now, for the first time in my life, moving from 3Mb/s to 1Gb/s. Huge improvement that will speed things up on the game.

So while May was pretty rough for me on a personal level, we're turning all that around for June and hopefully my personal life will not interfere with the game again for a while.

Update 15 Release

At this time, I've finished all new content for the update and am currently working on testing and polishing everything. This is going to take me a couple of weeks to do, as I move through all the new content and make sure it all looks and acts the way it's supposed to. I'm also implementing some new menus to help improve the game's appearance and functionality. Then the game goes to my testers before the Premium Edition release.

Due to the death in the family and the move, I'm going to have to push the release date back by a week from the date that I said last month. Sorry about that, but I hope you understand. These dates should be solid though:

Premium Edition - July 7th
Free Edition - July 21st

Okay, that's all I got this month. Thank you all so much for all the support that you've given. It was very nice reading all your supportive comments on the previous month's update and helped cheer me up in a very hard time. You are all incredible.

Look forward to a new trailer soon, and update drops next month. Love ya!


[ 2023-06-09 14:36:53 CET ] [ Original post ]

May Progress Report

Hey everybody! Just wanted to give you all a short update on what's happening with the next update right now.

If you haven't already read last month's progress report (https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1724190/view/5976881566074288324), that's where I talk about what is going to be in Update 15.

Personal Stuff

I also, mentioned that my mom and my partner's mom have been in the hospital. I had a couple of people ask about how they're doing and wish me well, which I really appreciate. My mom is okay and is at home, though she's on an oxygen machine now, which means I have to go and help her with a lot more things than I used to.

To be clear, when I say "my partner", I'm talking about my girlfriend who I've been with for 10 years and plan on marrying, not a game development partner or business partner or anything. My partner's mom, very suddenly, was diagnosed with Stage 4 liver cancer and the doctor gave her a life-expectancy of 2 weeks. This was roughly two weeks ago. She's still hanging in there right now, but just barely and we're expecting her to pass away any day now. She's at home on hospice and my partner is with her, roughly a 5 hour drive from where I live. I went down and visited her family, but then came back home, though I'm expecting to go back down there soon to be with them again.

So, that's what's going on in my personal life right now. I share it with you only because, since I'm the only person working on this game, my personal life is going to occasionally interrupt development like this. Right now, it hasn't really slowed me down much. But since I'm expecting to have to go to a funeral and help with my partner's family in the next few weeks, development on the game is likely going to be interrupted a bit.

When is the next update going to release?
Right now, new content for the update is about 85% complete. After that's done, I have to do all the testing and polishing and everything, but I'm moving along pretty well.

If everything goes as planned, these will be the release dates for Update 15:

Premium Edition - June 30th
Free Edition - July 14th

These dates are tentative right now. If I end up having to be out of town during that time, or if I have to take more days off than planned to help with my family, then I'll have to push these dates back some. Hope y'all understand.

I am working hard though, and doing my best to get this Update out as quickly as I can. I hope you're all excited for it. There's a lot of cool stuff here.

That's pretty much it. If you want more info on how the update is progressing, I post weekly updates over on my Patreon, and I keep a daily developer diary on my Discord server (there's a link on the main menu in the game).

Hope you all are doing great and thanks for all the support you've given me. Love ya!


EDIT: I'm editing this the evening that I posted it, just letting you all know that she passed away today. I'll be taking some time off to spend with my partner and her family. I appreciate all the well-wishes and the understanding. You guys are great <3

April Progress Report

Hey everybody! I wanted to give you a quick progress report on how the next update is coming along.

I've been working hard on it, but I've had a lot of things going on in my personal life that have gotten in the way a little bit of my work. I'm trying to find a house to move to, my mom has been in the hospital, now my partner's mom is in the hospital as well, and I'm basically dying of allergies.

But progress on the update has been steady.

What's in the next update?
New content for all characters, of course, but there are a lot of major scenes as well. Lisa, Suzy, Mari, Kendra, Adrian, Gertrude, Bai, and Mi-Cha all get major scenes.

In addition to these major story scenes, there's a lot more sex scenes, 8 new dates, 20 new conversations, and some new options as well. If you like the sex screen that I've been using for Mrs. McGee, Mari's furry sex, or Kendra's repeatable sex, good news, I'll be adding that screen to other repeatable sex scenes as well, so you can switch positions without ending the scene and coming back the next day.

Two new characters are getting voices this update, and I'm also adding some more voicework for Kendra and Mari. I'll go ahead and announce here that one of the characters getting voiced this update is Dana. The other, I'll keep secret until the trailer.

There won't be any progress on the "main story" of finding Daddy in this update. After the jewelry store scene last update, Whitney is hard at work completing her device using the recovered diamonds.

What new content can you expect in the Premium Edition?
If you bought the Premium Edition, you'll get some bonus goodies in Update 15.


  • I'm adding 20 new bonus images to the gallery. If I have time, I'm planning on organizing the bonus gallery a little better too, so you can click a character to see all the bonus images with that character. I'm not sure I'll have time to do it this update, but eventually.
  • A new Cafe Chat / one-night-stand with a character who has made an appearance before - I've been wanting to add more of these. Claire being the only one-night-stand so far. The Premium Edition feels like the perfect place for bonus content like this.
  • A new scene with an old character. I don't want to spoil too much about this one, but it's one that some people have been asking for.
  • Adrian & Kendra double-date, with repeatable post-date activities.
  • New date clothing options for Bai at movie theater, Brandi at arcade, Izzy at Luigis, Jez at The Pit, Kendra at the go-karts, Mi-Cha at the cafe, Reba at Jackson Burger, and Suzy & Tammy at the movie theater.


When is the next update going to release?
Right now, I am at almost 50% complete with the content for the update. I think the second half will move a little faster than the first. Then I have to do all the testing and stuff that is necessary before actually releasing it.

My schedule currently estimates that the update will release for Premium Edition users towards the beginning of July. The Free Version would come two weeks later. I'm not quite ready to put down a definitive date yet, but expect it somewhere around then.

I'm working as hard as I can on getting it done. There's a lot of scenes in it that I think you guys are going to love and I can't wait to share them.

I think that's about all I have to talk about here. Thanks, as always, for all the support you have given me. Y'all are amazing. Love ya!

Announcing the Come Home Premium Edition



I'm excited to announce the Premium Edition DLC that I'll be releasing along with the next update for the game on March 3rd!

Come Home is a free game and is always going to remain free, but for those who want to support the game and receive a lot of bonus content in return, this DLC is for you.

[h2]What is in the Premium Edition?[/h2]


  • All previous and future clothing packs - I am discontinuing the clothing pack DLCs and instead will be including all previous and future bonus clothing expansions in the premium edition. So it will contain the Mari, Jamie, Adrian, and Juliana packs that have already been released, and Update 14 will also include new clothing options for Reba and Whitney. New bonus options will continue to be added every update until every character has at least one exclusive clothing option per date location.
  • Additional sex options and positions - Every update will contain some exclusive sex options and positions. Update 14 will include sex with Suzy in pigtails (with hair pulling), and a BJ from Mi-Cha, while her hands are tied. More exclusive sex options will continue to be added every update until each character has multiple exclusive sex positions/options.
  • Additional Date Locations/Options - Every update will contain some exclusive date locations and options. Update 14 will include the option to take Mari's dogs (Appa and Momo) to the park with you. More options will be added every update until eventually every character has at least one premium edition exclusive date location.
  • Bonus Image Gallery - A gallery of bonus images that can be unlocked by progressing in the game. These images were formerly exclusive to Patreon and some are brand new and never before seen. There will be 40 images available in the gallery with Update 14 and more will continue to be added to the game with every update.
  • Early Access - The Premium Edition will receive updates at least two weeks before the Free Version does. This will stay true for every update, until the game is completed.


[h2] When will the Premium Edition be available?[/h2]

I'll be releasing the Premium Edition on March 3rd along with Update 14. I'll make an announcement then, and you'll be able to buy it in the store and play Update 14 immediately.

[h2] How much will the Premium Edition cost? [/h2]

The Premium Edition is priced at $14.99, but I'll be running a 30% discount for the first week of release to reward early buyers.

[h2] What happens to the DLC I already bought? Do I get a discount on the Premium Edition?[/h2]

I really appreciate those of you who bought the DLC packs. Your support for the game has helped me so much.

If you bought one of the clothing packs, they will continue to work.

Unfortunately, there is no way for me to provide a discount for those who have purchased the previous DLC. I wish I could. When I released those packs, I was not planning on doing a full Premium Edition like this. That's part of why I am discounting the Premium Edition at launch. I hope that you understand and will continue to support the game.

[h2] Will there be other DLC in the future?[/h2]

No, this is the only planned DLC for Come Home. All future bonus content will be included in this package. So you only have to pay this once and you'll continue to receive access to all bonus content until the game is complete. I have no plans to re-release the game or add additional DLC once the game is complete either. This is it - pay once and get the complete game.

[h2]Will the Free Version still be supported and updated?[/h2]

Nothing is changing with the free version. The free version will still continue to be updated and I will eventually complete it. The premium edition only contains bonus optional content.


[h2]Will I be able to continue with the same save file?]h2]

Yes, you should be able to upgrade to the Premium Edition without it affecting your saved games.

Conclusion

I hope that this answers most of the questions that you might have about the Premium Edition, but if you have any other questions about it, feel free to comment here or on the game's Discord:

https://discord.gg/XqhSHuuhTd

Update 14 is going to be HUGE, and I'm excited to share it with you all. There's a major UI overhaul, there's a lot of great new scenes, and of course a bunch more sex as well. And yes the MAIN story advances a little, also. I'll have a trailer out for Update 14 soon!

Thank you all for all the support you have given me and the game. It means a ton and allows me to continue working on this game full time, which I absolutely love. I hope that you are all excited about the next update, as well as the Premium Edition.

Love ya!

RJ Answers a Bunch of Questions

Hey everybody! I had a lot of good questions get asked for the Q&A. I sat down and typed up answers for all the ones that I felt like I could and weren't repetitious. There's a lot to read here, so I tried as best as I could to organize it.

QUESTIONS ABOUT CURRENT GAME CONTENT

[h3]Is Adrian transgender or a crossdresser? [/h3]
Adrian is a transgender woman. She was born male, and has transitioned to female. She has not had surgery, but is on hormone therapy. Shes not a crossdresser, she is a woman.

[h3]Why did Adrian keep her male name?[/h3]
She didnt. Adrian was not the name she was born with. Its the name she chose after she transitioned. I understand that Adrian can be a male name, but here its not.

[h3]Is the main character a genius? [/h3]
Hes definitely smart, though he can be a bit of a dope sometimes. Genius? Not sure about that.

[h3]How do I win the fight with Rebas brother, Mickey?[/h3]
You have to train MMA with Tammy before the fight scene with Mickey.

[h3]Did you get "Mouth Feel" from Bob's Burgers? :D[/h3]
Nope! Ive only watched a little of Bobs Burgers and dont remember that. I also dont remember using it in my game, but I definitely could have! lol

[h3]How did Whitney end up in a wheelchair?[/h3]
As a child she had a tumor removed from her spine and the surgery paralyzed her.

[h3]Why cant I get Reba to fix dads car? [/h3]
Dads car might not even be broken. The issue is that the MC does not have the key to it and nobody knows where the key is. Reba cant even attempt to start it without the key.

QUESTIONS ABOUT FUTURE CONTENT

[h3]Will there be any new characters? [/h3]
I dont currently have any plans for new main characters. Twenty characters, each getting more content every update is a lot for me to do. If I add more characters, it would increase the time between updates as well. There will likely be more small side characters that pop in occasionally, or more content with side characters.

[h3]Will the main story continue? [/h3]
Absolutely. The main story will continue and conclude in Update 20. As we get closer to the end of the game, the main story will begin to have more content.

[h3]Will there be a translation into other languages?[/h3]
Yes, I will do translations into many other languages, when the game is finished. It does not make sense for me to do a translation at this point, when the game is still being worked on and changed every few months.

[h3]Will there be a "family patch"?[/h3]
No. There is no incest in this game. You can choose what youd like to call them in the game, but Suzy and Lisa are not related to the main character in any way and the story would not make sense if they were.

[h3]Will there be story arcs for old-aged characters?[/h3]
There will be some content for older side characters in the future, but no new characters with full story arcs.

[h3]Do you have more plans for LIs to cross paths?[/h3]
Absolutely. Theres going to be more crossover towards the end of the game, for sure.
Will you allow love interests that have been rejected by the player to pair off?
There are currently no plans for this in the game. I just dont have a good place to include it in the story.

[h3]Is pregnant content planned? [/h3]
It depends on what you mean by pregnant content. If you mean having sex with big-bellied pregnant women, then no there is no pregnant content planned. If you mean will it be possible to get the women pregnant, or will we ever see any of the women pregnant, then yes there are some plans for that.

Keep in mind that even though you can spend as many number of days as youd like playing the game, the story is intended to take place during a single semester of college. Thats like 5 months or so. So even if you got a woman pregnant on the very first day you came back from Brazil in the game, shes only going to be about 5 months pregnant at the end of the game. So it doesnt make sense to have big-bellied pregnant women during the story.

[h3]Will we have to make a decision about who we want to be with, or will it be a harem game? [/h3]
I dont want to talk too much about the ending of the game, but there will be a harem ending. If you dont want to have to make a decision, dont worry. I got you covered.

[h3]Will different hair styles be added to the sex scenes? [/h3]
I dont currently plan to do this. Re-rendering sex scenes for each hair style is a lot of work and I feel that time is better spent elsewhere.

[h3]How long will the full game be? [/h3]
Update 20 will be the end of the game. Its entirely possible that I add more optional content after I finish the game though. I have no idea how big the final version of the game is going to be. Pretty massive, Id think.

[h3]Will we ever see Adrian with long hair? [/h3]
Probably!

[h3]Any plans for a walkthrough? [/h3]
No. I put a lot of work into the hint system in the game. I feel that is sufficient.

[h3]Any plans to release an OST?[/h3]
I cant. Most of the music in the game is copyright free. I can use it in the game, but I cant sell it as a soundtrack, because I dont own the music.

[h3]Will we be able to introduce Jamie to Dana? [/h3]
Theyll likely meet at some point. I like having my characters meet.

[h3]Are you going to add bondage with Suzy?[/h3]
Maybe!

[h3]Will there be additional lesbian/threesome scenes? [/h3]
Absolutely!

[h3]Will a side character (Rose, girl in Whiterock coffee shop, jogging girl, any of the people from Ms. Welchs party, Connie the waitress, Izzys aunt, Claire) have a role later in the story? [/h3]
Some of the side characters are just there for their small parts, but others will have some optional content later in the game. And some might make an appearance in future games.

[h3]Will we get to see more interactions between characters? It would be great if we could choose to introduce one character to the other and let them interact.[/h3]
Absolutely. As we move towards the end of the game, characters will interact more often. Choosing to introduce one character to another will be possible for some of the characters, but doing each character combination would be like 200 scenes, which is a little beyond my scope. I have certain characters that I plan to interact with each other though. Weve already seen some of that, and there will be more in the future, for sure.

[h3]Will there ever be an option in the game somewhere to be monogamous with a specific character?[/h3]
Yes, there will be a choice towards the end of the game.

[h3]What do you have planned for future DLC? [/h3]
Ill have more information about this in January, but I plan on releasing a premium edition of the game that contains a lot of extra optional content, and discontinuing the release of smaller DLC packages.

[h3]Is there any chance of group fun with Suzy, Tammy , Lisa, Kendra , Reba, and Mari ? [/h3]
There will never be any sex scenes with Suzy and Lisa together, due to rules by Patreon. The others are all a possibility though.

[h3]More male love interests? [/h3]
There are currently no plans to add any more love interests of any gender. There will be some optional sex with male side characters at some point, but Bai will be the only male love interest to get a full story.

[h3]Can we get a gallery that can be accessed from the main menu? [/h3]
Because of the way I have the gallery in the game, where you play through the entire scene, not just see the images, I dont have an easy way to add that to the main menu. I dont have plans to add a gallery there.

[h3]When will the main story continue? [/h3]
It will move forward a bit in the next update, and probably every update after that as we ramp up closer to the ending.

[h3]Any more scenes for my favorite character? [/h3]
Every character will get more content every update.

[h3]Will Suzy find out about Lisas relationship with the MC? [/h3]
Maybe! Itd definitely be difficult to keep having sex with both of them without them finding out about each other at some point.

[h3]Will you eventually have to choose a single partner? [/h3]
No, you wont have to choose.

[h3]Will Gertrudes relationship develop to something more than just sessions? [/h3]
There will be more before the end of the game, but Gertrudes story is not as expansive as some of the other characters.

[h3]When will we find the keys to Dads car? [/h3]
Cant answer this one! I know a lot of people are wondering it though. I didnt forget about it, I promise!

[h3]Will there be consequences for being with multiple people at the same time anytime soon? [/h3]
No, not really. Thats something that I didnt want in this game. Eventually, some of the characters will want to be more exclusive, but since the game takes place in a short period of time, theyre okay with it for now. There wont be any consequences in the game for being with multiple people. I just think Its more fun that way and I dont care to write a lot of relationship drama and bickering.

[h3]Will Adrian ever get bottom surgery?[/h3]
At the moment, she hasnt decided if she wants it. She wont be getting the surgery during the game, no.

QUESTIONS ABOUT FUTURE GAMES

[h3]Would you be open to creating more gay characters in future games? [/h3]
Absolutely. There will likely be LGBTQ characters in every game I make. Im all about inclusion.

[h3]Do you have ideas for what you want to do in the future for a new game? [/h3]
Absolutely. I have the next game planned out almost entirely already. And the one after that I have a pretty heavy outline for as well. Then I have ideas for multiple other games, to come.

[h3]I have an idea for a game can I give it to you?[/h3]
Id rather you didnt! Id rather you go make your own game. As I said in the last question, I have a TON of ideas. I come up with ideas for games all the time. The issue is having the time to work on all of them. I want to finish one game before moving on to the next one, so a lot of the ideas I have, I wont be able to work on until years later, and Im really looking forward to them.

Im never going to be as passionate about your idea as you are.

[h3]Can we get some hints about your future games? [/h3]
Ill give a couple of small ones.

The next game is going to be shorter than Come Home and more focused on the story, more cinematic, and less sandboxy. Its going to be quite a bit different than Come Home. The goal is to finish that one in under a year. Im expecting to start this one in 2025

The game after that will be my next big one around the same size as Come Home and will be a sandbox, but also have some RPG elements in it. Itll be more of a game than just a visual novel. Im expecting to start this one in 2026.

Still a long way to go on Come Home.

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE MAKING OF THE GAME
[h3]Do you have the entire story arc outlined, or are you making it up as you go? Or is the main father arc planned but everyone else's made up? Or some combination thereof? [/h3]
I do. I have had every characters story and the main story entirely planned out since the beginning. Ive changed a few things from the original plan, but the ending has always been planned and I know exactly where every storyline is going.

[h3]From a creative standpoint, what takes you the longest to work on? Story? Renders? Programming? Finding time because of life happening?[/h3]
Renders take the longest for me, by far. I split my time up into workdays, which is the amount of work I expect to finish in a day of work. Using the current update (14) Im working on as an example, the update is expected to take about 81 workdays. Posing and setting up renders is 66 of those.

[h3]What are the pros and cons for having 20 love interests and will future games have a similar amount? [/h3]
The pros diversity. Theres something in Come Home for everybody. I think almost anybody will find at least one character that they love.

The cons I cant go as deep into a characters storyline as I would necessarily like to do. Theres just not enough time. It spreads the story pretty thin, and makes the game a little more shallow than some people would like. I understand that too. Come Home is a little more about quantity than quality. But the reason I chose to make 20 love interests is so that I could experiment with many different things. I didnt know how the game would be received or if Id ever make another game, and there was so much that I wanted to do that narrowing it down just wasnt possible.

My future games will probably not have as many love interests, no. The next two games I have planned have much fewer.

[h3]How did you arrive at the 'theming' for each datable person?[/h3]
When I first started brainstorming the game, I pretty much picked out stereotypes The book nerd, the gamer girl, the food blogger, the gang leader, the skater girl. I think I came up with like 25 or so. Then I started expanding on them and seeing if I could come up with a story for each of them that I liked. Then I cut the ones that I didnt feel like I could expand on enough, or just didnt have room for.

[h3]Do you ever include LI elements that "do nothing" for you personally? Or do you work from a perspective of "what would *I* like to see in a game like this?"[/h3]
My tastes are pretty varied. I cant think of anything that Ive included in the game that I dont personally think is hot.

[h3]Has any parts of the story surprised you in how it looks now compared to your initial vision?[/h3]
It has, for sure. Some of the stories have been changed from the initial vision. Ms. Welchs is almost completely different, Maris is significantly different. And some of the other stories have gone in slightly different directions as well.

I think what has surprised me the most is things Ive worked through personally with my writing. There are some things that I noticed I write about very frequently in the story, and theyre things that Ive had to deal with in my personal life, and was subconsciously including in the game.

I didnt really pick up on the THEME of this story until just a few updates back. I dont really want to go into what I believe the theme of the story is just yet, but you guys may be able to pick up on it. Id be curious what you all think it is.

[h3]How did you get the idea for the game? [/h3]
I started out writing romance novels planning on writing them quickly and publishing one a month for a year and seeing how they did. It was sort of an experiment. Then I played Summertime Saga and I was like, hey I can make these romance novels into a game instead. I have no idea where the idea came from for the missing dad and the hula hoop portal. Thats all just my silly brain.

[h3]How often do you update?[/h3]
Whenever I finish the content planned for that update. Lately its been taking me around three months per update. Some updates are bigger than others though.

[h3]Why did you choose Brazil as the location where the MC goes to school?[/h3]
South America was the first thing that came to mind when I was writing the story I just wanted him to be in a different country, basically. Originally, I had just written South America when he says where he went, but people said that sounded weird (and I agree), so I narrowed it down to Brazil. I understand that its not very believable, but I wasnt really going for realism with the main story about alternate universes and hula hoop portals powered by diamonds and meth.

[h3]Do you accept donations in the form of proposing to pay for voice actresses? [/h3]
I definitely accept donations and support, but Ill ultimately decide what that money goes towards. Hiring voice actresses will be part of that though.

[h3]What is the plan as far as voices in the game going forward? [/h3]
Ill be adding in voices for various characters when Im able to. I made a bit of a mistake adding Kendras when I did. I should have written out the rest of Kendras story, so that I could have the actress record lines for the updates that havent been released yet. Fortunately, Haruluna, who does the voice of Kendra, is easy to work with and I can just hire her again later to do lines in the remaining updates.

But for the rest of the characters, I want to write out all of their scenes and figure out which dialogue I want voiced before hiring the voice actress. Which means I have to write ahead a bit. I have the outline for remaining updates finished, but I dont have dialogue written yet. I want to do that before moving ahead further with voices.

But eventually, I want to have all the characters voiced. Not completely voiced, but like I have with Kendra. Some particular bits of dialogue, sex noises, and greetings and such.

[h3]How complete is the game? [/h3]
Update 14 is releasing soon. There are planned to be 20 updates total. So, the game is about two-thirds of the way complete. I expect to be finished with it sometime towards the end of 2024.

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DEVELOPER

[h3]Will RJ have content in the game? [/h3]
No, RJ will only be shown in tutorials and will never be a romanceable character in the game.

[h3]What got you started on game development? [/h3]
Ive always played video games and been interested in development. I wanted to be a writer, but its really hard to make a living publishing novels. I saw some success of other adult visual novels, and thought I could do that and maybe I would be able to make a living doing it, so I learned everything I needed to make the game and switched gears to game development.

[h3]Where do you draw inspiration for creating the looks of a character? [/h3]
I knew from the beginning that I wanted a diverse cast. I love diversity. I love inclusion. After that, its really just personal taste. My tastes are very wide in scope. I think everybody is beautiful in a way.

[h3]What do you think are the biggest differences, when a male protagonist is written by a woman or vice versa and is that easy for you or challenging?[/h3]
I almost think it would be better if the audience told me this than the other way around. I do my best to write from a male perspective, but I assume that I dont always get everything right. Since Im basing the male viewpoint off what I know from other stories and other people and not necessarily personal experience, I know that Im not going to get everything right. But I like writing from different viewpoints that are not necessarily my own. Most of the characters in my game are fairly different than me, but theyre all fun to write.

[h3]Do you worry about being criticized for objectification? [/h3]
Not really? I feel like I do a good job of making my characters feel like real people, not objects. I generally dont worry too much about being criticized about anything anyways.

[h3]Who is your personal favorite character? [/h3]
Tough one, but probably Kendra. Her story is really personal for me and I love writing her. Personality-wise, shes probably the closest to me.

[h3]To which character do you identify the most? [/h3]
There are definitely pieces of myself in all of the characters, but Kendra is the one I identify with the most, for sure. Her personality and attitude are the closest to my own.

[h3]Why did you decide to make a porn game? [/h3]
Money, mostly. Its hard to make money from visual novels. People support porn games pretty well on Patreon though. I also like porn and played a few of them and was like I can do this!

[h3]What do you do for a living? [/h3]
I make Come Home! This is my full-time job and Im supported financially by my patrons and by people buying the DLC on Steam. Im doing pretty okay right now! Not making a TON of money, but more than I made at my last full-time job, and Im much happier doing it.

[h3]Where are you from? [/h3]
I was born and raised in Texas. I live in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

[h3]Can we see more about your everyday life? [/h3]
I keep a daily developers diary on my Discord server. I also write a weekly personal journal called RJ Ramblings, where I talk about what Im doing besides working on the game. You can find that on my Patreon.

[h3]Are you single?[/h3]
Nope! Ive been with my partner for about 9 years now.

Conclusion

That's it! I hope that you enjoyed the Q&A and it gave you a little more information about me, my development process, the game, and future content.

Thank you all so much your input and for supporting the game! I really appreciate all of you.

Ask the Dev: Q&A

Hey everybody! I'm working on putting together a new FAQ for the game, along with a Q&A post answering any of your burning questions about the game's content, the characters, about the development of the game, about the developer, about the future of the game - anything you'd like to ask.

Just post your question as a comment to this post and I'll look through them and answer the ones that I feel are appropriate in a future post.

I'm hoping to have a lot of good questions to discuss here, so get your questions in!

Update 13 Released

Here it is! Update 13 is now available to everybody for free. I really hope you enjoy it.

All the characters have some new content. The progression system has changed a little. And Kendra has voice acting for some lines and for her sex scenes.

Be sure to check the character's screens in the menu to see what new content is available for each of them.

In addition to the new update, the Adrian DLC has also released and is available here:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2177840/Come_Home__Adrian_Clothing_Expansion

Like previous DLCs, this is only a clothing pack that will change what Adrian wears on dates. It's cosmetic only and doesn't affect the game. I want you all to know that I do plan on releasing a paid version of the game next year that will have all the DLCs included with it, among other things. Please only buy the DLC if you want the Adrian clothing pack right now, or you just want to support the game.

That's about all I have to say here! Let me know how you like the update in the discussions or on Discord. Thanks for all the support you all have given me. I appreciate you all!

Juliana DLC Released and Update 13 Progress Report



Juliana DLC Release

Hey everybody!

I just released the third DLC for the game, Juliana's Clothing expansion. It's very much like the first two DLCs, in that it is ONLY clothing options for dates with Juliana. I realize it's not much, and I don't expect everybody to buy it, but for those who would like to support the game, this is a good way to do that and get a little something in return.

I'm pretty happy with Juliana's outfits as well. For those who don't like her short, natural hair, she has an alternative hair style for each date location now, and I think she looks super cute.

I really appreciate those who support the game. It helps me out so much and makes it to where I can continue working on this as a full time job. Thank you so much. The link for the DLC is below.

Update 13 Progress

Now for the second part of this little post, I wanted to let you all know how things are going on Update 13.

I've been working very hard on it. It's a HUGE update, so it takes a while to make, but things are going pretty smoothly so far.

I am a little over halfway done with creating all the new content. Then I have to do testing and polishing and all of that.

Right now, expected release date here on Steam is November 11th. Patreon gets the update two to three weeks earlier than that.

If you'd like more frequent updates on how the game is progressing, I do weekly updates on Patreon and I keep a developers diary on Discord that I update daily.

That's pretty much all I wanted to say here. I hope you all like the new DLC and thank you for all the support that you've given me and the game. Love ya!

Update 12 Coming Soon!



Hey everybody!

I'm a little late on the June progress report because I wanted to get the Update 12 title screen completed and have a solid release date for you all.

Update 12 is complete and is currently in the hands of my testers. We're going to be testing it and polishing it over the next week, then it'll go to my patrons first. It will release here on July 15th.

Update 12 is going to contain new scenes for all characters. The four girls on the title screen are the ones who are getting the biggest scenes this update, but Mari, Juliana, Mrs. Mills, and Mi-Cha all have pretty big scenes too, and the others are all getting something as well.

The update has 12 new story scenes, 5 new dates, 17 new repeatable sex scenes, 20 new conversations, over 450 new images, 41 new animations, and a couple of other small surprises and gameplay improvements.

That's all I got for you for now! Thanks for supporting. You guys have shown a lot of support by buying the DLC, which is extremely helpful for me and I appreciate it so much. I can't wait to share this next update with you all. I know there's going to be a lot in it that you'll love. See ya next month!

Jamie Clothing DLC Released

Hey everybody! Just wanted to let you know that I've released the Jamie clothing DLC, and you can buy it in the store now if you want to help support the game.

There is also a small patch to the main game that makes it so that this DLC will work and also fixes a few bugs that people ran into in the last Update. I'll put the patch notes at the bottom of this post.

Just to restate - this DLC is just a cosmetic change and not at all necessary for you to enjoy the game. I'm committed to this game always being free, and this is just a way for those who want to support through Steam to be able to.

That said, I really like her new outfits here and I hope you do too.

If you run into any bugs or problems, please report in the message boards here, or on the game's Discord: https://discord.gg/rjrhodeswrites

Thanks so much for your support!

Update 12 Progress Report



Hey everybody!

It's been about a month since Update 11 released. I hope you all enjoyed it! I've been hard at work on Update 12 and wanted to let you all know how it's coming along.

It's another big update with new content for all the characters and some pretty major scenes that I know a lot of you are going to love.

RIght now, I am about 35% finished with the update and moving forward pretty steadily. I'll be taking a vacation next week, which will cut into my work time a bit, but it's the first vacation that I've EVER gone on alone with my partner, and I've been able to do that because of the amazing support you all have given me for this game, so thank you so much for that!

So when is the next update going to release?

I don't have a solid release date to give you right now, but I'm expecting to be done with the update in late June, which means it'll likely be released here on Steam in early July. Patrons always get it two weeks in advance. Once I have a more concrete idea of when it'll release, I will give you a date.

[h2]Jamie Clothing Expansion DLC [/h2]

In other news, the new clothing DLC is going to release on Thursday, May 5th. It's very similar to the last DLC, in that it's only intended for those who want to help support the game and get a little something in return. It is purely cosmetic, adding 4 new outfits for Jamie to wear during her dates, and it'll be $2.99.

You can find it in the store already here, if you'd like to add it to your wishlist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1955140/Come_Home__Jamie_Clothing_Expansion/

I appreciate all of you who buy the DLC to support me. It really means a lot and helps me continue making the game.

That's all I have to talk about for now! I'll post another progress report in about a month to let you know how things are coming along. Just know that I'm chugging away, working on making it, and I'll get it out to you as soon as I'm able.

Thanks so much for playing and supporting, Love ya!

Update 11 Released

Hey everybody!

I decided to release Update 11 a day early. Hope you don't mind!

There's new content here for every character in the game. Be sure to check the character menus to see what new content is available for that character.

There will also be a small update for the Mari DLC that adds a missing image that could cause problems.

Have fun! Thanks for supporting me and the game!

Update 11 Coming Soon!



Hey everybody! I wanted to let you all know that Update 11 is completed and is currently in the testing phase. My alpha testers have it and are playing through it every way they can to try to find any bugs that need to be fixed before release.

The release date here on Steam is still April 1st.

If you want early access to the game, you can always check out my Patreon/Subscribestar, as they all get it two weeks earlier (March 18th). And $20+ tier subscribers get access to the beta version a week earlier than that (March 11th).

There has been a few questions about more DLC - it's coming, but not going to be released along with the new update like the last DLC was. I'll have more information about DLC next month.

I'm really proud of this update and I think you are all going to love it. April 1st isn't too far away! Thanks for your support and hope for the best for all of you!

Update 11 Progress Report



Hey everybody! It's been about a month since the last progress report, so I wanted to let you know how things are going over here in development-land.

I've been working hard every day on the update. It's pretty big and taking a little longer than I'd hoped, but it's coming along and I think you will all love it when it releases.

So, the big question - when is it going to release!?

Right now I am at about 70% of the content completed. After I finish creating all the content, I also have to test it myself for a few days, then it goes to my alpha testers, then the release window starts, beginning with my patrons and eventually releasing for free on here.

Right now, it's looking like this will be the release window:


  • Beta Testers ($20+ tier patrons) - March 11th
  • Patron-Only - March 18th
  • Steam Release - April 1st.


No, it's not an April fools joke - the next update should be here on Steam on April 1st.

I realize that's still a bit away. This update has taken a little longer than expected, due to the holidays, me getting slowed down with COVID for a couple of weeks, and some annoying graphical bugs that I've had to deal with, but I believe that the rest of the work on this update should move fairly smoothly and hopefully the next one won't take quite as long. And if you want to get it a couple of weeks early, you could always become a patron!

I'm really excited to get this update out to you all. There's so much more I want to say about it, but I'll save that until a later date. For now, thank you so much for playing the game, buying the DLC, and helping to support me. I appreciate it so much. I love working on this game and I'm so glad that you all seem to love it too.

Love you all! Take care!

Update 11 Progress Report



Hey everybody! I wanted to just make a quick post here to let you know that I'm hard at work on the next update for the game. I'm glad you all seemed to enjoy Update 10 and are already ready for the next bit of the story. It's going to be a little while, but it's in progress.

[h3]What's going to be in Update 11? [/h3]

Every character will get more content and we'll see the main story advance slightly.


  • 15 new story scenes
  • 465 new images
  • 33 new animations
  • 9 new dates
  • 7 new repeatable sex scenes
  • 20 new conversations

I won't get into story elements, but there's some major things happening in this update. Biggest scenes go to Suzy, Tammy, Kendra, Izzy, Whitney, Bai, Jez, Dana, and Mrs. Mills. All pretty big scenes that I think you will enjoy and some stuff that I know a lot of people have been waiting for.

[h3]How close are you to being done with Update 11?[/h3]
Not very! With the holidays, I lost a couple of weeks of work and really just got back to working hard on the update this last week.

I am about 15% done with it at this point. If you want more frequent updates on the progress, I keep a developer's diary on my Discord server that I update daily, and I update my subscribers on Patreon every Friday.

[h3]When is Update 11 going to release?[/h3]
This is the big question! Been getting it a lot.

Right now, I don't know. I don't have a release date in mind at the moment. However, I can estimate based on my progress that the release will likely be sometime in March.

[h3]Final Thoughts[/h3]
It makes me happy to see so many people excited about the game and playing it and supporting by buying the DLC or joining the Patreon. It really has made a huge difference in my life and it helps motivate me to get up every morning and work on this game that I love.

I hope you all are doing great. Staying safe and healthy. And thank you for playing the game! Love ya!

Happy Holidays!



Hey everybody! Which present are you going to unwrap first?

I hope you all are having a wonderful week, taking a short break from your daily grind, and spending some time with family and friends.

Hopefully you all enjoyed the new update! Thanks so much for the support that you have shown. I will be out of town on vacation until next Tuesday, so I'll be unavailable to fix any game bugs or answer any questions until I get back.

This time of year is always stressful and can be depressing to some. If you're feeling down, or stressed, remember that there are people who care about you. Take care of yourself. I love you!

Update 10 & Mari Clothing DLC Released!

Hey everyone! Update 10 is now available to play for free. This update contains:


  • New Scenes for Lisa, Dana, Jamie, Tammy, Mari, Izzy, Adrian, Gertrude, Ms. Welch, Mrs. McGee, Mrs. Mills, Brandi, Reba, Whitney, Jez, and Mi-Cha.
  • New Dates for Adrian and Whitney.
  • Repeatable sex scenes for Suzy, Jamie, Juliana, Kendra, Adrian, and Bai
  • New Conversations for Lisa, Suzy, Dana, Ms. Welch, Mrs. Mills, Whitney, Jez, and Mi-Cha
  • 3 New achievements
  • Around 400 new images and 25 new animation
  • Many minor fixes



Along with the new update, I've also released the Mari Clothing Expansion DLC. This DLC contains 4 new clothing option, one per date for Mari. Whenever you take her on a date, you will be given a choice if you want her to wear her normal outfit, or her alternate DLC outfit.

This DLC is intended to be a small cosmetic upgrade for the people who want to help support the game. It intentionally does not add a lot to the game, as I don't want you to feel like you HAVE to have it. Only buy if you want to support and want to see Mari in some different clothes. I'll be releasing more of these DLC packs in the future for other characters, as long as this one does well.

The DLC is available here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1825230/Come_Home__Mari_Clothing_Expansion/

Hope you enjoy all the new content! Have fun and thanks for playing the game and supporting me!

Update 10 Coming Soon

Hey everybody! I just want to let you all know that Update 10 is completed and is currently in testing. It's gone through my alpha testers and is now in beta testing over on my Patreon, for the $20+ subscribers.

It ended up taking about a week longer than I expected last time I made an update here, so the release dates have changed a bit.

[h2]Update 10 Release Date[/h2]


  • Beta version ($20+ patrons) - December 3rd
  • All Patrons - December 10th
  • Steam/Itch/Public - December 21st.


[h2]Mari Clothing Expansion DLC[/h2]

On the same day as the Update gets released here on Steam, I'll also be releasing the first DLC package for the game.

This package will be completely optional and cosmetic. It contains four new outfits for Mari to wear on her four different dates, and gives you the option before the dates to choose what she wears. It's going to cost $2.99.

If this does well, I'll release more packages like this in the future for other characters. This is intended to be something small so that those who don't want to pay are not missing out on anything major, but those that want to support the game on Steam have a way to do so. I hope you all like it.

[h2]Final Thoughts[/h2]

That's pretty much it! I hope you're all excited about the update. I can't wait to share it with all of you! I'm already hard at work on the NEXT update. There's still a lot more to look forward to in the game!

Thanks for playing! Love ya!

Update 10 Progress

Hey everybody! I do these progress posts over on my Patreon/Subscribestar page every week, to keep fans up to date about how the game is coming along, but I also wanted to start posting progress reports here around once a month or so to keep you all up to date as well. If you'd like more in-depth updates, check out my Patreon/Subscribestar, or jump onto the Discord where I keep a dev diary that I update daily.

Here's where I'm at with Update 10 right now:


  • Story Scenes - 11/16 (69%)
  • New Images - 292/398 (73%)
  • Animations - 19/26 (73%)
  • Dates - 1/2 (50%)
  • Repeatable Sex - 7/8 (88%)
  • Conversations - 15/19 (20%)
  • Functions - 2/2 (100%)


TOTAL COMPLETION - 76%

[h3]Final Thoughts[/h3]

Finish line is in sight at this point. Looking through what I have remaining, I think it's going to take me about two weeks of work on it, then the one week of alpha testing. So I feel pretty comfortable putting out release dates at this point.

[h3]Update 10 Release Date[/h3]


  • Beta version ($20+ patrons) - November 26th
  • All patrons - December 3rd
  • Steam/Itch/Public - December 17th


That's it! Hope ya'll have a great weekend! Love ya!
