About the update

Well then! It turns out this was a biiig undertaking as far as the backend goes. We had to jump through hoops backwards to get the Sandbox working, but I am very excited for it. In the future we wont have to do nearly any level of this much programming. Perhaps I could have waited on the Sandbox until we got even more characters, but hindsight is 20/20. Also for our newly announced characters, they should be able to slot right into the sandbox quite easily, so expect them quite soon. This update ended up being all tech no storyline, (I guess you could count the CGs as added value to storyline) so I do have some sympathy for those that waited, so I added 2 exclusive teasers in the gallery.

Known Issues

-The new CGs have some rough compression on them from being sized down automatically.

- The map jerks the screen when clicking the "wait button" gui

Next Update

The next update will be back to what our patrons polls have specified, which is specifically

1) Open world dialogue for between scenes

2) Intimate bed and sleep related lewd and non lewd content

2) Plenty of Tara storyline content.

We're working on methods to have characters automatically talk and move to save on scene development time as well. We also have 2 mini games in the works. Should be good stuff.

Much Love,
