Proof of Life 10/15/22

Hey supporters! I don't have a whole lot to report except that it's been a productive few weeks. Strenif and I have pounding out the renders and animations and moving ahead with some great content story wise.  I'm really happy with our progress and with the quality of the content that's being created. Strenif has been very helpful and we'll have a lot more content for you with every release with his help.

Sorry this proof of life isn't very wordy. I just don't have much else to rep...

Proof of Life 9/29/22 & new schedule

Hey all, sorry for the lack of communication since the posting of the official supporter build. I actually got really into making the renders and animations for a couple upcoming scenes, and I haven't stopped to do anything else. I guess I'm just excited for the next release! I haven't posted a new schedule of my production goals, so I thought today I'd better get that out there, and give myself something to be accountable to. 

So the release of the supporter build was Sept 17, tha...

AFV 0.08_v2 Supporter download links

Thanks to our test group, I think we've identified and fixed all of our errors, so we're ready to release our new update to our "Friend +" tier supporters!  

There's not a ton of content story wise in this update. This update I focused on creating the VIP room, as far as game locations go, it has a lot of stuff to try. I wasn't even able to finish it all, and there will be more VIP content to come in the next update. To trigger the new VIP content go to the club on Monday when Sidn...

Update's Looking Good! (Proof of Life 9/6/22)

So, The 0.08a-v2 (alpha) update will be released this week to our testers (BFF+ tiers). I could almost release it today, but I don't want to rush it and release a turd.  I'm going to spend a little extra time polishing it, and making sure it's all firing right. I'm not positive which day I'm going to release, but I commit to it being before the week is over. My initial testing looks promising and I'm pleased with how the new scenes have turned out.

Sorry it took longer than expecte...

Proof of Life 8/22/22

Hey guys, Sorry I went dark for about a week. After a trying time with a health issue my daughter went through, we made last minute plans to take a small family vacation before our kids summer vacation was over. I know this isn't fair to any of you, my supporters, but it's something I felt I owed my family.  

Images and Videos are all rendered, and have been for a bit. I'm still working on the writing of the script and coding. It's taking longer than anticipated. More because of ex...

Update on the Delay

Hey all, I just wanted to keep you all up to date on the state of the update. I really thought I'd get it done this week, but circumstances out of my control gave me very little time to work on it. I'm hesitant to go into detail on those circumstances, but it involves my daughter, an ongoing health issue of hers that flared up this last week, making up work I missed and just being too exhausted to work into the wee hours of the night. 

That being said, the update is close to being ...

Proof of Life 7/20/22

Animations, animations, animations....

Seriously, that's all I've been doing lately. I've been taking some extra time on them, trying to improve my skills and their quality. I'm mostly pleased with them, though there are a few that I've spent way too much time on to get a certain effect, to only realize that what I'm going for is not possible in DAZ studio, at least with the morph packages I've found and installed. 

The animations I've been working on are still for the VIP ro...

Proof of Life 7/5/22

I'm trying to stay on my schedule, and I knew the 5th was going to be difficult to make a proof of life post since American Independence Day usually wares me out, and I need a day to recover. I'm barely going to get this out in time, or I might just be a few minutes late. 

Development of the game has been moving forward at a pretty decent pace. The only thing that is slowing development down just a touch, is that I'm working on learning new skills and improving ones I've already de...

Proof of Life 6/21/22

Yay! I made my first deadline... Not a bad start!

I've been working like crazy on content for my first update release on the two month release schedule. I hope I'll have enough content to keep you all happy! I'm really happy with the content I've created so far. If you're a "Best Friend" + tier supporter, you'll be able to see a couple preview images of what I've been working on in my next post today. I think they show my improvement over time in both DAZ and photoshop. I'm really happy...

0.08-v2 Update Schedule

First off, if you missed it, the official supporter build was released today for all "Friend" + tier supporters.  https://www.patreon.com/posts/67474884

The main thing I wanted to post about, though, is that I'm giving you all my update schedule, and I'm going to try really hard to stay true to these dates. Give me a little leeway if I miss a date by a day or two, but no more than three! I can't guarante...

Official 0.08v-1 beta links for "Friend + tiers"

Here's the release of our 0.08v-1 beta for all our friend + supporters! We took some extra time on the alpha to make sure we got the beta in ship shape. 

Just a couple notes about the update; First, the event tracking system is new. It doesn't show all the events in the phone at the same time anymore. Events have to be triggered before you can find them and their clues in your phone. You'll know an event has been triggered by a pop up image informing you so. Second, If you're start...

May the 4th be with you!

Not a preview, but I couldn't resist making this image today.  

Update's almost done... Just waiting on spelling and grammar check to be complete to release the Alpha.

Proof of Life 4/21/22

Thank you to all who responded to my call for a temporary coder! We had quite a few volunteers and now we've got most to all of the coding issues worked out!  Thank you to all who helped with that effort!

Quality checks and developer testing have begun on the update. It will soon be released to our higher tiers for additional testing. I can't help but get really excited as we get to this point in an update to start showing off what we've been working on for so long! 

I d...

Proof of Life 4/4/22

Help, I need a temporary coder! Our good friend and master coder D.S.-Sama is a paramilitary in Romania and his time has been completely taken up with tending to Ukrainian refugees and other tasks.  He'll be back to help with AFV as soon as the war is over, but who knows when that will be. 

I've been trying to change our events system and I need to modify DS's code to do just one more thing, and I've been trying to figure it out myself and failing spectacularly.  Someone ...

Proof of Life 3/14/22

Sorry for the long silence, as we get closer to the release of the update, I'm anxious to say or promise too much as far as a timeframe goes, but against better judgement, I want to share with you, what I feel is my realistic goal / expectation for this update's release. I feel confident that I'll have the writing/scripting done before the end of the month. I can't promise you that the update's release will be at the end of the month, since I never know how long playtesting and our other cont...

Proof of Life 2/15/22

If I had to put a number on the updates progress to completion I'd say we're at 80-85% complete. I'm hoping the last 15-20% will come fairly quickly as the chaos around me seems to be stabilizing, and I'm finding more time to work on the update. So keep your fingers crossed that we don't have more shit hit the fan with whatever life could possibly throw at us again. The renders are done, and I'm writing as fast as I can. Hopefully the various checks can go smoothly and we can have the update ...

Happy Valentines Day!

From a couple jilted lovers and a pervy young man.

Proof of life 1/24/22

Hey guys, sorry about the fewer updates lately. I've been so busy, that it's been hard to keep up with all my responsibilities.  I'm having to cover the work of coworkers who keep calling in sick with CORONA.  I actually love my job, and I get great benefits, but the workload has been crazy heavy lately. Like always, I'm throwing all my free time into AFV, it's just that I don't have as much of it as I did even a year ago, and far less than I had when I first started making AFV pre-...

Happy New Year! (Proof of life) 1/1/22

Hey supporters, Happy New Year!  I just wanted to let you all know a little more about the state of the next update. Sorry I haven't been communicating well these last few weeks, but the holidays were kind of crazy, and I ended up spending a lot of time with family, and not as much on the update as you would all like, so while I do apologize for that, I felt like I spent my time where it was needed. Having kids can really take up a lot of your time, but having in-laws around will suck up...

"Shut up and Dance", by Boring Games

Happy Sunday to all you supporters and watchers! 

Through another cross promotion from a fellow developer, I wanted to introduce you to ‘Shut Up and Dance’ by Boring Games!

Shut Up and Dance is actually far from boring! It contains huge number of amazing renders, high quality animations, spicy moments and a nice story. A story about a guy who lost almost everything and tries to find a way out of his situation. In the meantime, he encounte...

Updated links to fix bug

I've become aware of a bug that was in the most recent 0.07ext build, that for some reason didn't start popping up until the last few days, even though the links been live for almost two weeks.  I believe I've now identified and fixed it, so if it's affecting you, you'll probably want to delete your build and download it again. I've updated the links so they have this "hopefully" bug free version.  If you're base build is still 0.07beta, you can probably get away with just installin...

0.07extended Spanish Patch

Preliminary Poll Results

Which dress is Jacky going to wear to prison to visit her husband?  Here are the results of our preliminary poll.  We will start the final poll tomorrow for all "BFF + tiers".  The choice will be between the "Pink cocktail" dress and the "Spring flowers" dress. These results are a total from here and our other subscriber platform as well.

Update 0.07extended is now available to all "Friend + Supporters"

We've run a successful test, and feel like we've taken care of the few little errors we found. So without any further delay, all "Friend +" supporters can download the special extended version of update 0.07  

This update adds 5 new sex scenes to the game, though you will probably only see 3 of them, unless you are playing both routes. 

All supporters can find the game links in the next post!  I hope you all enjoy!

0.07extended supporter build

Here are the links to our special 0.07 extended edition for all our "Friend + supporters".

In the links you will find both the full version, and a patch that will update the latest 0.07beta/supporter version to the 0.07ext version.  That way you won't have to download the entire 3.5GB of game again.  This patch will not work with the 0.07alpha or any builds before that.  For the patch, just unpack the 3 files and place them in your game folder.  When it asks, choose ...
