Where have all good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and dream of what I need

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Larger than life

I believe that members who shared the link before, became disillusioned with tori and canceled their subscriptions.

I believe we will have to wait for the release of the free link in two weeks.

So many movies that song has been used in bringing back all the good memories right on

0.5.30 is out

030r.png


This is part of the bi-weekly schedule focused on frequent updates rather than longer waits.

If you prefer longer stable updates I strongly suggest you wait it out.

Post:

Another two weeks have flown by! First, a quick apology for the slight delay - the combination of day job responsibilities and extra-busy weekend activities made for quite the challenge to get this one out. Release schedule goal is to resume standard Sunday updates

What's New:

• ~11,000 words (note: not that many separate scenes on this one, this update contains one sex scene, which as per my writing style dictates has to be >5k words ).

• One of the scenes that OG fans have been waiting for. While I couldn't include animations this time around, I'm quite happy with how the static images came out and overall new script direction. But I'm sure it will still need another polish pass to feel 100% and I would like to explore animations at a later stage.

• NEW SPRITES! After taking in your feedback, I've made several improvements to character expressions and overall polish

• New CGs for the "walking home" sequence that felt too empty, in fact, one plays an important role on this update!

• NEW PARALLAX EFFECT - This update trials a shader-based approach that should look better and be more GPU-efficient

• Various fixes and quality-of-life improvements throughout

Can't wait when public release rolls out! I've followed BtW since you posted a link to its page on itch.io on 4chan. (What am I doing with my life... :HideThePain:) I wish to encourage you to keep at the work, Torimiata. Can't wait for us "OGs" to see content that would be completely new even to us.

Update is 10/10 content wise. Unless i'm misremembering, the pool scene seemed to escalate further than the original game, especially with the addition of a sub/dom choice at the end.

Make sure to replay the walk home from meeting Ari as there is new content that is referenced in the pool section.

Be warned that although the pool scene is by no means short, and includes more poses/positions than the original, it is the only major scene for the patch. It's a bulky scene though.

For me, the new parallex effect seemed a bit odd on the 1st photograph scene, but gave nice depth on the 2nd photograph scene, so I'll leave it as a neutral change for now.

Overall it's very well done, but with the 2 week update schedule i suggest people wait 4-6 weeks to bundle at least 2 updates together.

That's where it all started! I'm looking forward to Act 2, there's already a couple of new scenes sprinkled in but the real new stuff will happen there.

Thanks for sticking around since the beginning. Development has had its challenges, but I'm feeling much better with the new foundation. One update at a time!

Good memory - it has been rewritten (I did keep some story beats from OG though). It definitely escalates further now.


Thanks for the feedback on the shader, it's been one of the trickier features to implement, but I'm satisfied with a 'neutral change' considering the performance gains alone. The new system is also more flexible, so I'll likely go back and fine-tune some of the more problematic scenes.

anybody has played it already? its worth to spend the 15 dollars to have it?
I appreciate the enthusiasm, but I'll be straight with you - no single update is "worth" $15 on its own imo.

While this update (11k words, dozen CGs, plus technical improvements) took a lot of effort, you can buy entire finished high-quality games for $15. This is a few scenes long.

Supporting financially a developer should be about believing in the project's direction and wanting to help them continue working on it.

Despite what some users here might suggest, I have always been upfront about this subject if you go back my post history. I have no interest in misleading anyone - development is already difficult as it is without trying to run a Milk business on top.

My supporters make this project possible - I couldn't justify the development commitment without them - but if you approach it like a store transaction, you will end up disappointed.

I haven't played the new update, but this was where I was getting worried because in the previews from a few months ago during the pool scene she didn't even look at the mc, so I'm hoping that happens can anyone confirm for me without spoiling the update?
