Holly is a very witty girl, but she could use some improvement with her social and athletic skills. Luckily for her Lena and Ivy can help her with that... The ones who guessed Holly being a Virgo were of course right.

Hi everybody,
These status reports haven't been too consistent lately, but at least I can assure you work on Chapter 9 is not stopping. I'm tackling the writing bit by bit, trying to portray in the most entertaining way possible the ideas I have in mind for this part of the story. I'm hitting some difficult spots, bu...

The girl of the million dollars, Cindy is a Scorpio and she will sting you with her Charisma and dazzling looks. This one is a difficult card to collect, is your Ian up for the task or are you a good friend?

Wade used to have higher stats, but he's gotten comfortable and has been able to retain only some of his former Charisma. He's a Tauro (for obvious reasons if your Ian has malicious intent with his beautiful girlfriend lol).

Perry is, surprisingly enough, a Pisces. He has a very high Lust but he hasn't managed to focus that energy properly... yet. Are you helping him out or are you stealing away any chance of success he's got?
Edit: updated Perry's Lust from 8 to 7, on second thought it was probably too high.

One day I was thinking about the defining traits of ORS characters: which stat does represent their personality the best? How do they compare between them? What attribute do they value the most and to which do they react more favorably?
In short, I decided to give them some numbers to better define them, and just for fun. ...

It's barely noticeable in this picture, but I made Alison's hips and abdomen a bit wider than it used to be in the original sprite.
When I looked at her sprite I always thought that I would've liked to give her a bit of a different body type, she's a tall girl with a generous rack. She's thin, but at...

After going over it several times and listening to your feedback, this will be the definitive outfit set for Ian in Chapter 9.

Hi everyone! I just got back from my trip and I'm back to work. Lots to do for Chapter 9, and hopefully I can tackle everything full-speed.

The final outfit in the new set for Ian, the one tied to the Lust stat. This is the perfect look for Ian to go to a bar or the park and pick up some girls, invite them to join him for a drink while citing some Bukowski quotes from the book he's reading, or sweet talk them into coming over to his flat for a night full of passion and then never te...

For his Athletics look Ian will be sporting a tight workout shirt. It might not be the most elegant attire, but it's perfect for showing his gains to the ladies!

It was hard coming up with a Charisma outfit for Ian. I had some ideas but they could also fit the Wits and Lust category, and I wanted each to have a distinct flair.

This is the last WIP I had prepared on Chapter 8's scenes. Holly is always a challenge to draw, her body type and hairstyle are pretty unique, and her glasses, oh, how I hate drawing glasses. That means it's hard to find good references for her, and I usually need to add a lot of elements from scratch, not being able to fully reference the pictu...

The development of Chapter 9 is still underway.
In chapter 9 Ian will have access to a new set of outfits, much in the same way Lena had in previous chapters: if he meets a certain stat requirement, he'll be able to sport a new look tried to said stat.
Customization is an important aspect of my games and many of you asked if Ian would get the same treatmen...

Chapter 8 had the first real scene between Lena and Jeremy, after Ivy's game in chapter 7.
