Episode 8 - Release

Here we go. You can think of this as an early christmas present. Hopefully you don't mind if I give it to you like this. I wasn't sure how to wrap it and put it under your tree.

For those that haven't heard, I finished my degree, so from now on I have a bit more time working on games. Updates should come a bit more quickly. It's about time I finish A Foreign World, don't you think? There will be a few more updates (8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 11) and then the game will be done. I'm confident that I can finish the story in 2026.

I also started working on my next project in the hopes of having a store page up and running by the time the last update of A Foreign World will come out. It's going to be an AVN focused on 1-3 love interests. The story is already mapped out, but I haven't decided on a name yet. I'll announce it once things are a bit more set in stone.

Let's talk about this update. As always, Episode 8 adds another day to the story. I tried to create some fight animations. They are not horrible, but in the end it's not my strong suit. I just thought I needed some practice before the big fight with Nathaniel.

With this update I decided to stop updating the memory section of the game. From my perspective the time it takes each update to add something to the memory screen is better spent elsewhere. With the last update I'll go ahead and add stuff to it in retrospect. For now, don't expect anything new there. By now, I'm sure you know all the characters.

I often heard that the image and replay gallery has grown quite big, and needed a way to filter for certain girls. Agreed. I tried something, it's tested... But I'm not 100% confident that you can't somehow break it. Programming isn't my strong suit. Check it out, you can now choose a women on the left and you'll only be shown images/replays with her.

Finally, I can already mention that I'm fairly close to finishing the next update. I had a couple of very productive weeks. Episode 8.5 is going into beta access before the end of the year, which mean that the update will be released early next year.

Happy Holidays!
