I can think of a VN where the LI was a travelling partner of the MC, has sex with him, and then gets written out for a while so other things can happen to the MC. LI comes back, reconnects, then leaves over story events, never to return. Angered quite a few because she seemed like she was written to be a main LI but ended up not being one.
I always wanted to try that one but reading this makes me less inclined to do so if im being honest now

Ellaria.

Thankfully there is no chance of that getting pulled here. I'm kinda glad Lana was upfront about things and didn't try to string it along and then drop it right before the ending as some kind of twist.

Removing her from the LI pool allows her to get used in a lot of ways that won't come with the backlash of "you harmed/killed/affected" my LI in some way.
Huh, I do remember scrolling past that game but never checked it out.

Yeah, I mean it's definitely interesting and opens up a few doors in terms of storylines that the dev can do. Lana in general is a really well written character and it was a great idea to keep things upfront in terms of communication, even if some people end up disappointed, they atleast won't feel betrayed by it.

tbh I still have and playing a Lana save even tho I know she isn't a LI officially. It just helps me sleep better at night to not think about it and act like she is one despite the facts. That and im hoping this dev's pulls one of those cards ive seen in other AVN's with certain LI. Where a side girl is technically a side girl but she has a big enough role and path that she is more in the middle between side and main even if she doesn't get an ending id be happy with that much.

Well, I was able to see and play Episode 1 quite well, but it is true that my monitor only reaches 1080p.

Perhaps Mr. Maya did the rework in case it is played in 4K?

doesn't matter even if your monitor could reach 8k. game still looks same/near same as on much lower resolution.

tbh when I switched from my 4k monitor to a cheap 4k tv to play AVN's I can tell the difference it looks much better on my tv to me. But yeah I don't think it is really that noticeable generally.

Hello everyone!
This past week has been fantastic. I've been very productive and have completed numerous renders. It was actually the first week I didn't spend time on the rework of Episode 1, as it's nearly finished and I preferred to focus elsewhere.
Instead, I dedicated my efforts to Day 6 of the game, which I started on March 29th. I'm now just about 50 renders away from completing it. My workflow has been excellent, and I'm particularly thrilled because I finally created a scene that's been on my mind for a year and a half. It’s an emotional scene I was eager to make, and I'm currently wrapping it up—should be finished by tomorrow.

Next, I'll be working on another significant emotional scene I've been planning for the past 18 months. It’s both exciting and intimidating due to its importance in the overall project. I'm hopeful I'll make it work, but even if everything goes smoothly, I expect to spend the rest of this week fully focused on it.

On a less positive note, I discovered an issue with Sana and her new skin settings. Unfortunately, I seem to have messed something up, causing her skin to look as dry as sandpaper in about 40-50 renders. I'll need to rework these. I'm also worried this issue might affect some of the Episode 1 reworked renders, so I'll have to check on those as well. But hey, it's just another hurdle I anticipated along the way.
Another concern of mine is regarding my animator. He currently has around 15 animations left to complete for this episode, and that's after I've already reduced some of the planned animations to lighten his workload. This situation is outside my control, which is frustrating, even though logically there's not much I can do.
Anyway, let's talk numbers:

2,942 static story images
81 animations
47 fully written scenes

Despite creating an impressive 329 renders this past week, I didn't reach the 3,000 renders milestone for this episode. However, that's something we can celebrate next week!

Overall, I'm very pleased with the quality of the renders and the productivity I've maintained. I now have a clearer idea of the total renders and animations required to consider the raw content of this episode complete, and the finish line feels closer than ever. Just have to keep pushing forward!

That's all for this week's update. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, and I'll talk to you again soon.

I have a question MC has one Li in the game ?
MC hasn't committed to any one yet. Ep 1 and 2 are meant to introduce you to most of the LIs, ep 3 should finish out the introductions and move more into the routes. I wouldn't expect any harem here, it's not in the tags, not in future tags, and his previous work wasn't harem either. It's also further complicated by the personality system so some girls will be off limits later based on what personality your MC has/will have.

So, expect solo routes.

We’ve got a classic damsel-in-distress setup with Aurora, but she's not available on selfless path ?!. Damn author, wdy want me to do then ?.:FacePalm: /j (not really, but still joking though)

Love Aurora because of Ep.2, has potential for developed to be Yandere done right. And then there’s Taylor: total package, safest and most obvious Endgame LI. I’m seriously torn between the two. :HideThePain:

Yeah crazy Aurora went from most hated other than Andrea to my favorite in 1 update. Reminds me of Bella from SG same thing happened to me hated her guts now she is my 2nd favorite LI in my top 10. So I very much looking forward to more Aurora plus I thought that lewd scene was really well done and hot.

That's why I don't like games where I have to choose Li. For me the ideal scenario is either Harem or that I have no choice at all.
I remember a moment in a game where I had to choose at a certain point who to have a relationship with and then another girl died, another girl went back to her ex who was beating her up…. I felt like a piece of shit for 3 days...:(
