Just because someone likes playing games, does not mean they will like making them.
10 years ago, when I was a student (dear god), half of the class dropped out because they liked playing WoW and league, but didn't like coding or 3D modeling.
Try coding, art, or digital music before making that dedication for your career. If you join a summer game-dev camp and like what you see, welcome to our community!
But if it turns out not to be for you, that's okay.
#authors, #writers, #writingcommunity, #gamedevs, #gamedevelopers #gamingcommunity, #artists #contentcreators! Is there anyone here who is on #substack? I'd be more than happy to #connect!

Sad news at #Cyan. They've had to lay off about half their team and posted a sheet with contact info and disciplines of employees who are looking for new opportunities: https://bsky.app/profile/cyan.com/post/3llhcilutzi2s
This is a crop of talented individuals whose work I think speaks for itself. They are making some of the most imaginative and visually stunning #IndieGames out there (#Myst, #Riven, etc.)
If you or anyone you know is hiring top-tier #GameDevelopers, please put them in touch!
Even though we know it's a fact that the game won't be ready before February 14th, we can't pass up the opportunity to celebrate Valentine's Day. However, since our MC is a total Casanova, it will be difficult to decide which of all his love interests he will celebrate Valentine's Day with.
Which of all the girls do you think would be the best to spend Valentine's Day with?
Well, that question will be answered in the next release, which we plan to release at the end of this month, and we hope that this time, we can meet the date!
Many thanks to all the players who follow the development of this game, especially to our Patrons for their invaluable support which makes this project possible!

Here, you can download the beta version of the upcoming release, 0.20 which, is complete version of the game, although, some content might change.
We ask for your help to verify that there are no errors, we didn't found any, but just to be sure.
If you are a Chloe-level Patreon or higher, please go to: https://thehighschooldays.com/betaversion/
Remember, we recommend using a separate Save game after playing this version, since, if any problem is found, the content could change.
If you are a lower level or aren't our Patreon, please wait a few days until the public release. It should be just a couple of days to go.
We are currently working to see if we can finish the update before the end of the year. This means we have almost a week left, but given the number of images and animations still missing, we can say with certainty that the game will almost certainly be released until the first week of January. However, we will not stop working hard, so the delay is only a couple of days, not weeks, as was the case with the previous update.
This is a problem that occurs when images are drawn in a sketch, then outlined, and finally painted. It is a long and tiring process, and if an image does not fit in the story or is not properly made in any of the points we just mentioned, we have to discard the entire image and start over; it is not common, but it has happened to us. But, we remain firm in not using 3D generated images for the characters, and much less, AI… If we want the game to remain visually attractive as it has been until now, we have to keep the same process, even if this means that sometimes we fall behind.
In the meantime, we leave you with a sketch of a scene we will include in the next update. This scene is a consequence of the events at the Halloween party. Apparently, someone did not like how things ultimately turned out in said event and took advantage of her status of power to exercise discipline and prevent a reckless youth.
When we have a general idea of when the update will be released, we will inform you. In the meantime, we greatly appreciate your patience and support in the development of this project.

Our graphic designer friends are a bit bored while waiting for the animators to finish the missing scenes, and since they have nothing better to do than think of different ways to complicate the existence of the programming department, they've come up with the idea of raising the stakes!
Within the event, apart from the naughty scenes that are being cooked up, there will be 12 of our characters with special dialogues, so, in the ending scene where the game will ask you if you want to repeat the event, a special screen will show you how many of our characters you have met.
But be warned, this implies that the event may (and will) have one bad ending, forcing the player to play it again.
Do you think you can find all our characters?

A new version of an old minigame of ours is coming...

Multiple paths means multiple replays...
Just like The Gala event, once you finish, it will give you the option to go back to a specific point in the event to play through again and try to unlock new scenes.
The image will show you the scenes that are unlocked, and the number of scenes you still have to unlock.
But it will also give you the option to continue with the story, even if it means leaving some scenes locked. We understand there are people who simply aren't interested in having all the scenes unlocked, only the onces with their favorite waifu.
Canonically, the game's story will be told as if the player had unlocked everything; this is in order to follow the narrative.
We hope that the amount of images above, which represent a scene, will be the ones we finally end up with. If you remember, the Gala event only had 3 scenes; now we're up to 5(ish). The goal is to have this version released publicly by the 31st. But, if we see that we are almost finished with one more scene but it means taking 2 or 3 extra days, I think that most of you will agree that we should wait so that the greatest amount of content possible can be released.
Once again, many thanks to all the players, and especially to the Patreons, Subscribers, and buyers of the game on Itch, Fantia and Spicygaming. It is thanks to you that we can continue developing this project that, we believe, is to everyone's liking.

One of the things we enjoy the most is seeing how our characters are reimagined by artists who like to express their opinion through their art.
That's why we created an album where we publish all the images that other artists have drawn of our girls. In some cases, we approach the artists, and in other cases, the artists seek us out.
Whatever the reason, we like to give credit and encourage all our fans who have taken the time to create their art.
If you didn't know about this album, we invite you to visit it by clicking here:

Working on versions 0.18 and 0.19!
Well, with satisfaction, we can say that version 0.17 has been released without major problems, other than a few minor errors in some images, but nothing that could ruin the adventure.
Now it is time to start working on what's next; version 0.18 will be a moderate-sized release, which we have scheduled for the end of August. At the same time, we will be also working on version 0.19 because we have the goal of releasing it as a big update, scheduled for the end of October, which will have Halloween as its central theme.
For a few years now, we have had an idea that will take up many images and scenes, and we hope that the time will be enough for what we have in mind. Believe me, you will like it. =ˆ.ˆ=
On the other hand, thanks to our Patreon Albœire, a new character will make her appearance in the next releases. Blair will be a happy girl, a ray of sunshine, somewhat smug and a little naive, who wants to venture into the art of Illusionism and Magic, and eventually, it will be our hero's job to help her realize her dream.
Remember that if you want to see a character in our game, you can do so by joining our Violet-level Patreon.
Many thanks to all the players who give us ideas and suggestions, because they help us create a more joyful and sexy experience for all players. Likewise, many thanks to all the Patreons who make it possible for this game to reach everyone.

One of the stories we are trying to expand is Brianne’s. This busty girl was a commission that was made to us several months ago, but due to time issues, we have not been able to carry it out. It is time for us to attend to this commitment.
Fortunately, the Patreon that requested this character from us made very clear the story he would like to revolve around this girl, so her story is already more or less established.
If you would like to know how to commission your own character, you can see the documentation here: https://thsd.fun/commissions
If everything goes as planned, the game update will be released in the middle of next month, trying to make the timing of game updates a standard 45 to 55 days.
Thank you very much to everyone for your constant support, especially to the Patreons who make the development of this project possible!
