Hi, all. Just wanted to give a quick update on what's going on with the next build.
I was hoping to have it out before the end of this month, but it looks like I'm going to need a little more time. I'm hoping one more weekend should be enough.
I appreciate your patience!
(And, yes, as the image implies, we'll b...

Here’s a bit of an early update for you. I shared some of this on the Discord (which started after venting some frustration over trying to update an old scene), and figured I may as well share with everyone else…
I’ve been going back through existing scenes and adding either notes for future me on will...

Wow, this month went fast. For some reason, February always feels shorter than other months… Of course, that could be because it is.
Nothing major to report so far. Had our latest public release with some big bugfixes and an overhaul to the body transformation code, but lots of other big bugs persist (a lot of looping scenes and such). 2021-02-27 01:02:33 +0000 UTC View Post

Just a quick update on the "Rebuild of Interns" project: It looks like getting the new time log to support Ren'Py's rollback functionality probably isn't going to happen; Twi says errors in Ren'Py's code is preventing the engine from functioning the way it's been documented, so we'd need to wait on the developer t...

So, Twi, who’s been working to help me by creating a new framework for the game, has been urging me to keep everyone in the loop with a progress update.

2021-01-08 15:18:27 +0000 UTC View PostSo, this is our last update of 2020 it seems. Nothing too exciting going on so far on my end. I’ve gotten a lot of feedback on the latest release, which includes a whole bunch of bugs—many of which are he results of issues that have been compounding over time, so I’ll probably need a while to pull the whole thing apart and get it running p...

Hey, everybody. It appears I’ve been on a bit of a “when it’s ready” trend as far as new builds go, as I know it doesn’t go over too well when there isn’t enough new story content in a release. So, I apologize for that, and I hope to have the stuff I’ve been writing integrated into the game before too long.
I’ve been comple...

Interns v0.261 is now available! (Image is completely unrelated to the update.)

I'm working on how to implement willpower in the game. My first thought was in include some kind of icon on the choices to indicate that willpower is required to pick that option (and have the icon change depending on just how much willpower might be required).
We're dealing with a really small space, though, so I'm not entirely sure what ...

It's a "Behind the Scenes" post, but not. I'm sharing this one with everybody. It's the coding side of adding new scenes for Cynthia into the game.
