Dev Diary #7


Hello everyone, I'm very sorry for my recent absence. The sudden death of my father weeks ago was a shock that required a lot of bureaucratical and emotional labor and it has taken much of my time and energy. It's still an ongoing process in fact. He had no will, a lot of debts, and plans that needed to be canceled. You don't really get to rest and grieve until all the bureaucracy is dealt with. If I had any advice to give to you all, it's to make sure there is a plan for when these things happen. We don't like to think about it, but it will happen to all of us eventually. The last thing you want is to go into debt paying 10s of thousands in bills until you get life insurance, which can take weeks or months to acquire without a plan.

Thank you all for sticking with me and supporting me through this time. I wish my creativity could flow as it did, but it will take time for things to go back to normal. We were planning a trip to Europe together this fall, we rarely ever vacationed, but it's one I'll be taking without him now. I was eager to start the development of v0.18 early but it seems something always happens between updates to fuck things up. So again, thank you so much for your support during these times. I wouldn't have been able to give him the burial I think he would have wanted without it. 

I am actively trying to work now but the creative process is very strained for the time being. Things are slow, but I'm certain they'll go back to normal given enough time. I will keep you all updated with greater frequency going forward.

Hope you are going to be in a better headspace soon. I'm a 40s lesbian mom who came because it looked like a fun sexy game, but stayed because it's GOOD. Good story, good mechanics, good NSFW content, all of the above. 


Keep it up. I can't wait to see where it goes, but I am willing to wait for your mental health.

Take your time, I'm more than happy to wait. :)

I'm sorry that v0.18 has enough left for us to play it but if you need time, take it easy, we'll be waiting, really, your story of the "Harem Hotel" has made me like it almost the same as One Piece, which is my favorite series, in fact I have accumulated more than 100 hours in your game, I hope you get better and I think that everyone wishes you to get better and that the next update can arrive as soon as possible, a hug from LIBA for you. (Your game is wonderful)

Bro just relax just forget about this wholesome work and take a breath

It doesn't care if this breath is about 3, 6, 9 months or 1, 2, 3 years 

The only thing that care is your mental sanity so just take care of it

You are not alone Runey, everyone here loves you very much, and appreciates you even more, take your time to heal and grieve, I wish you the absolute best🙏 (and dont worry about the creativity, given some time it will return stronger than ever).

Jesus christ. Came for the smut, stayed because this goddamn game made me cry multiple times. Fantastic character writing and a lot of the later, more high quality scenes are obscenely hot.

Absolutely take all the time you need. Got something great brewing here and the passion is obvious, health and well being has to come first and you've more than earned patience and understanding.

My dad died driving a limo into a moose this summer, last thing I said was a cruel text saying I never wanted to talk to him again months ago.

currently im destroyed but the emotional connections with your characters is helping me through it, as unhealthy as that might be, so thanks.

if theres anything I/we can do to repay you I'd like to try, but more so I wish you well and hope we can both move on to be better then we and they were/are as a happy ending and to make them proud regardless of what they "deserve".

good luck.

I'm sad to hear it, and sorry for your loss. I'm going to download the game and add on an additional contribution. It's not much, but hope it can help, hope you keep strong and keep going.

Lost my dad several years ago suddenly so I also know how it affects the normal everything in our lives. Sending condolences. You're a great person doing great work, so keep your head up when you can, but crying when you can't is okay too.

My condolences.

Hey man, first and foremost sorry about your loss, it's not easy. I just want to let you know I appreciate all the time and effort you've put into this game and I'm thankful to have discovered it. I know it's not easy to work on stuff like this but it just shows the dedication and passion that you have into making this. It won't be easy to  go on from here on out but the fact that you're still here, making updates is a sign that you're taking steps; no matter how small. There will be more challenges in life as you go through life but you'll be able to push through it. I love this game and it's probably always going to be one of the GOATed ones but we all understand that you're also just a person. So go do what you have to do and don't let anything else keep you from what's important.

You're a great dev bro

Hey there,

I just wanted to drop you a quick message, man. First off, I'm sorry to hear about your dad. May his soul rest in peace, seriously. Losing a family member, especially a parent, is just incredibly tough. I can't even imagine what you're going through right now.

But look, I wanted to remind you to keep your head up, dawg. I know it's rough as hell, but you've got the strength to get through this. And remember, you're not alone – your friends, family, and all of us in the here in the community have got your back. man.

If you ever need to chat or just blow off some steam, don't hesitate to reach out to someone. Take the time you need to heal, and when you're ready, we'll be here cheering you on.

Stay strong, keep working hard, and also keep those awesome memories with your dad close.

Take care
