Hi everyone,
I have some more news, before the new update is released. So, here we go.
New character
As you can see, there will be a new girl introduced in this update tied tight to Jessica's story. I showed a bit more of her to the Funclub Member tier. I haven't said, who she is, but I think you can guess quite nicely based on the picture you see.
Also, the location in the image is Jessica's kitchen, just so you know. Fun fact, the floor were originally polished granite tiles. But because of the reflective surface they had, one image was rendering over 3 hours. So I changed it to carpet and reduced the rendering time to 45 mins per image.
Improved saving
Maybe it's not a fitting headline, but there will be big change in how saving works. I bet many of you played a Ren'Py game, so you know that save files transfer between versions without any effort on your part. And now the same feature will be in College Life as well.
Chris Birdwell wrote me that there is a solution to our ongoing problem with Mac version of the game and pointed me at right direction. Thank you for the suggestion. As part of the solution, all saves will be now stored in ..\users\Your_account\AppData\Local\College Life\ folder on PC and an equivalent location on Mac. I'm not sure what that location is, but it should be something like this - ../Library/Application Support/User Data/Default/College Life/
Please, bear in mind that I can't test Mac version, so I will need your help to find the exact location and if the saving works at all. Also, I will infrom you in time, how to import your save files from older versions to the new one. If everything will work as intended, it'll be last time you have to import anything.
That's it for now. The release day is closing, so get ready :-D

Hi guys,

I hope you are all well.

No real news to report, development continues. It looks like Rosa has got herself into a bit of trouble at the moment.

Turns out the AI denoiser uses quite a bit of VRAM, about 700MB. Add that to the fact that Windows 10 likes to steal about 19% also, 1.52GB on my 8GB cards. It's leaving less and less for texture and such. At least I get to improve my scene optimization skills.

A comment asked if there would be any garter/stockings stuff in the next update. Well not at the moment but I'll keep it in mind for the future.

But until then I hope you all enjoy these.

4k attached below.

That's all for now,

Thank you all and take care.

== Beta 1.1 ==

This build will focus on Akane's story! The lustful Ninja who comes from an ancient clan in Shinjo; a nation torn during the war.

The update will allow you to get 3 hearts with her to further increase your Lust level! The build is still early in progress but I have a lot of fun ideas for how her story will play out and progress. It should be one of the more intense stories in the game for sure as she has a very close relationship to one of the main villains threatening Valencia.

For Mary fans, I'm also planning to include some side content expanding on the various things you can do with her. These will take place primarily in the form of sprite scenes and, if time permits, an echo scene as well.



== Old Faces Return! ==

Cullen, the original ToP artist, was on his winter break and actually got in touch to design a couple more busts for the game during his vacation! In case you're new and not aware, he officially left his position of lead artist about a year ago to pursue his own career and university studies. I think you'll like the new busts he's designed! One of the two won't be seen until VERY late in the ToP story however. (Small hint as to who it night be)



== Release News ==

As usual, when builds are just announced, I don't have a specific date to announce just yet but I think this build will be finished around mid-late February so just around a month to go! Just need to give the artists a little more time to get some of the scenes done and everything should be smooth sailing from there.

A more specific date will be announced as soon as I'm able to let you guys know!

That's everything for this update. Thank you all for your support and I will see you soon with more teasers of Beta 1.1!

Hello, Dear Patrons!
Weekly update, yeah, more like a monthly update. Still, I had to take a little time to work on a visual novel to clear my mind and get back my vision of Exciting Affection. So, now back to weekly updates and progress reports.
I'm already working on the next update and so far there are planned following scenes. Rebecca and Carl, (At their flat), Webcam show and Ashley (Let's see how far Anna will go this time), Liam (I guess he's getting a bit suspicious), John (with Andrew present), Sergey and Jeremy (Anna will visit poor guy), Michael (Anna will have to help him out), Bar and some that I haven't yet finalized. There is quite a lot of scenes planned so far, so I can't really tell the exact date at the moment, but I think that the beginning of February is more realistic.
Again, not all of those scenes will have sex in them as I need to move forward with the story, still, there will be enough of it :)
I'm still delighted to receive any comments, ideas and suggestions about the game, so please feel free to contact me through all channels.
Sincerely yours,
Deep
