Finished the game, kendra was definitely the highlight, by far the best girl.

Lydia was good too but my god what was the dev doing with her hair? i think she had 3 or 4 different styles by the end of chapter 5.

im a few updates behind but the EX girlfriend is my favorite last I played. I almost dropped the game on my first playthrough. when they broke up in the prologue because I really like how they were portrayed as a couple. As I thought they felt like a good match for each other so when the break up happens was really sad for me, I actually had to ctrl skip to make sure she comes back into the story or else I would of dropped the game lol

Understandable. For me i didn't like them together, she didn't like his military lifestyle and was going threw some issues of her own so she decided to call it off, that's fine, she has to work on herself first after all but then he ends up leaving the military and she wants to resume the relationship with someone who is no longer the same man. I won't go on and on about this but they didn't fit together, better friends then lovers.

The dev kinda did the same thing with Kendra except he handled it better at least from a writing standpoint. Kendra basically says "i have shit going on with my dad right now so i have no time for a relationship" and again that's fine but she also said that she understands if the MC meets someone else before things calm down so there aren't any expectations.

One didn't want a relationship for herself while the other couldn't have a relationship due to another, this was the key factor in why i thought that was handled better with the latter.

Sorry for the late dev log this week. It's been really busy, between development , testing Artemis and real life responsibilities, I've had a lot to do. Also had to take some time to play my Jill path in BaDIK

Development is going really well still. This is what remains
4 minor scenes, small 20-35 render scenes
1 major scene 85 or so renders
finishing the biggest scene of the update ( 122 of 340 renders completed)
animating and lewd renders( 1 scene is 70 percent done of the 3)
2 more songs to curate and doing the sound design.
Most of what's rendered in already coded in.
coding in the three hidden renders.

I had an idea for chapter 6 that would semi would flip it on its head. Having it play out in 2 distinct paths based on a choice. Its a hefty idea. I'm doing the logistics of it to see how feasible it is and how I could tie it in to the remaining story. I'll keep you in the loop but the idea is MC dropping out or staying in school for... reasons. That choice would play the chapter out in a different path. The concept was already there, I had it planned to play out one way. It seemed like a really good time to make some divergence.

I was having a conversation about music with a patron, he asked what my top 10 all time all genre music list was. I sat down and gave it some thought, I'd figured I'd share.
-Dream Theater, Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
-Final Fantasy 7 OST
-Symphony X, The Odyssey
-Our Lady Peace, Clumsy
-Blade Runner score, Vangelis
-Wintersun, TIME 1
-Lord of the Rings score, Howard Shore
-Significant Other, Limp Bizkit
-White Bat Audio, no real specific albums here but I use a lot of his music in the game
-DOOM, Mick Gordon

I was also asked about deaths of characters. It's a little complex , but there are some characters can die based of choices, the same characters can also live. The choices that trigger these events are made way before. Are they side characters or main cast? Well, that I will not share.

Hope you all gave a great weekend.

DevinHesi Haha, I like you mentioning that you played the Jill path in BaDIK I still have it ahead of me; I waited a bit to ensure that all bugs are (mostly) fixed.

Really can't wait for the next update, I am so excited to continue the story! The image of Kendra only adds to the anticipation, and I am curious to see if you see the planned path split through. Thanks for the hard work, and enjoy your weekend!
