First time I played this, I fully expected William to double cross us at some point and it would set up becoming closer with his daughter.

Well, I agree for now.
Zeus liked him ;)
Ah, but what does Jinx have to say?
Maybe William is that shadowy crime lord from the past, living a secret life and keeping tabs on the MC for whatever reason.
And if he isn't, he probably works for him. Corrupt cop might only begin to describe him.
Nah, he's one the good guys. Probably.

Is he?

He's trying to solve a case he couldn't in his past.
He's the guy for information and heavy resources, which both might come in handy.

Well, I agree for now.

I know the truth. William is an alien, one of those lizard ones. He is working for Jinx to take over the world. Jinx is the real mastermind, cats always want to take over the world. I read it on the internet, so it much be true. :alien::eek:

The kind whose heads get smaller when they put on masks to pass for humans?

Of course Jinx is the true mastermind here, the real crime boss.

Did they go to a fancy restaurant dressed like that?
The ladies had some interesting ideas where they wanted to go for Valentines Day (see Patreon/Steam Channel) but the throuple couldn't agree to a location.
So it was "Somewhere nice and warm". Who thinks about eating with this view (and I'm not speaking about the environment)...
Uhm, yeah, Alex probably :ROFLMAO:

I see. But I definitely see several things I wouldn't mind nibbling on at least

Depends on what you mean. If you mean since we've heard from BTT, it's only really been a month (see up a few posts in this thread). If you mean since a release, yes. Although, this is explained a bit on his Patreon:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
So I think BTT focused somewhat on getting things going again and then has been working on the VN when he's able. But since he's at least somewhat active here on F95, I'm sure he'll respond himself at some point.

We're fast approaching a year since you released a Steam update. Currently, there are no progress reports on Steam and over here there are few signs of progress beyond seasonal renders and bullshitting with your fans.

So, what's going on? What have you accomplished and when is your next target deadline?

I understand that creative works sometimes require a bit of extra time, that's understandable. Given the quality of your work, I've given you the benefit of the doubt. Nevertheless, it's been a while. Those of us with skin in the game deserve some straight talk about progress and release dates.

So, what's going on?

True, when i look at his Patreon i see Posts about anything irrelevant but actual Status updates. I doubt anyone wants to be flooded with "Special" Renders and a bunch of Text just to avoid the obvious, unfortunately he's not the only one going this Path.

You got all the answers in the linked/mentioned Patreon post.

Quality wasn't like I wanted it to be, so I re-rendered scenes multiple times, including rewriting the text.
The different paths take their time too (Alex, no Alex with Val, no Alex with Isa, Alex and Isa).
Apart from that, I had some personal matters to settle.

I never had and won't give release dates, unless I have a build to publish. Too much could go wrong, as I experienced with the hardware crash last year.
If there are important news, they will be published on Patreon and Steam and the according Discord channels.

But I agree (like I did on Discord):
I'm way behind my internal schedule.

Anyone? Like someone who's posting in this thread the first time?

i can't tell how many people like the special renders, except for the likes they get. And I'm not talking about the likes here.
I've explained several times why I do them, like it or not.
Apart from that, the "seasonal renders" were artwork for the Steam sales. Yes, unbelievable, this guy makes some renders for marketing and spices them up for what could not be released on Steam.

So if you don't like them, fine.

Guess what?
There are a bunch of special renders ready. The idea was born on Discord.
But you don't need to check them ;)
