Author: Chaotic

So, what have I been doling this week?

Sex, sex and more sex! There are now hundreds of images covering the two main sex scenes, and I’m still going.

The second time the player and Betsy have sex isn’t as public as the first, but is much wilder now that the two of you are confident being naked in front of each other.

If Betsy gets the lead role in the play, the Player, Violet and Cass come to watch. If April is friends with the group, she will also join them. If everything goes well, Cass gives Betsy the keys to the nightclub so all four of you can have a fun private party.

One thing leads to another. And then another. And then another. And then…you get the idea. Nudity ensues.

The foursome at the nightclub is the final part of the game, though you will have to unlock several things through the game’s main story to experience it.

I’m still not confident I’ll finish everything before next Friday. If it does end up being the release date, I’ll probably make a blog post about it on Wednesday. If not, Monday, June 20th, seems most likely.

 

Production on Betsy is getting very near the end now. The only remaining images to render are for the epilogues.

As with Miranda, there will be an ending, but there will also be multiple epilogues that follow, in this case three. Two out of the three involve sex scenes, so I still have a respectable amount of images to make, but they’re all in the same location which should make the process a bit quicker.

A release day of Friday, June 17th looks likely, but I’m not committing to it yet, so don’t be surprised if I release it the week after.

Today however, you still get a small preview!

Betsy will have one more technical upgrade I haven’t mentioned yet. Instead of using animated GIFs, I’m going to be using image sequences instead. This should mean that the animations play better, and at a much higher quality too.

Before releasing the game, I want to make sure the javascript function I’m using works for everyone, so go ahead and download the test by clicking here.

You should see a very short preview of the game where Violet is trying to talk Betsy into playing with her breasts in public. Please let me know whether it works for you or not. It should be compatible with all browsers.

Next, more preview images.

Everything set in high school needs to have a big dance at the end of the week, and this game is no exception.

A moment from the infamous play that Betsy is trying to build up her confidence high enough to perform a topless scene in.

If you fail to build her confidence high enough, she will be forced to take a much smaller part in the play.

A high enough confidence can also turn an after school photoshoot very naughty.

The final thing to mention today is that it looks like the amount of images will be larger than I was predicting a few weeks ago. There are currently 792 images altogether. That makes it likely that the game will have around 1000 when I am done.

More images this week from the forthcoming free game, Betsy.

Betsy and the player make plans for the evening.

Betsy, Violet and the player have fun in the park.

April doesn’t appreciate you walking into the girls locker room.

A photoshoot on the last date with Betsy can take place in several different locations if her confidence is high enough.

Violet also has her own ways of boosting Betsy’s confidence.

But remember, not all endings are happy ones.

Next week, I should hopefully have a release date.

 

Not much to add this week in terms of information.

Progress on Betsy is going well. I can’t say for certain yet, but I think the game will end up being around 700-800 images.

Also, a few people have been asking what the next free game is, so in case you missed it, Betsy is the new free game. It is a completely new game for the site, and I am releasing it for free. See the last few weeks of blog posts for further details.

Rachel gives some tips on how to boost Betsy’s confidence.

When the player suggests watching porn, Betsy decides it isn’t really her thing.

April agrees to accept some help studying for her exams.

Violet and Betsy discuss who they’re taking to the prom.

Betsy finally decides she’s ready for something a little more daring.

So, what locations will be in this game?

Well, the school, obviously.

You will also be able to visit the clothes store, the pool, Cass’s nightclub, the bowling alley and Betsy’s house. All the images for these are done.

I’m nearly finished all of the date segments, which means all that will be left is the actual sex scenes. After that, I’ll just need to do the endings and I’m finished.

It should be at least a few more weeks of production though.

Now that I’ve been through all of how the game looks, I think it’s time to explain what the game is actually about.

The player has been dating Betsy for some time now, and although you’ve gotten close, you’ve never really become daring as a couple. Betsy dreams of becoming an actress and one morning, reads an advert in the newspaper that an acclaimed theater director is staying in the city, and will be holding auditions his latest play.

There’s only one problem. If Betsy gets the lead role, she is required to perform a topless scene on stage. Normally a shy, quiet, conservative girl, she doesn’t think she will be able to. That’s where her boyfriend/girlfriend/you can help.

She agrees to let you coach her, trying out as many different, daring things as she’s willing to do. As you increase her daring, a new side of her personality opens up, and things keep getting wilder.

All of this builds up to the play and whether or not she has enough confidence to audition for the lead role.

And with that, I think I’ve finally explained everything about the game that I need to.

 

See you next week for a new set of preview images.

Progress on Betsy is going well. Since I was already working on it while this blog was mainly talking about dsp3000’s last game, there are already hundreds of images finished. While I’m certainly not going to commit to a release date yet, here is a good chance it could be released by the end of May.

Besides Betsy in this game, there are two more notable female characters. The first is Betsy’s best friend, Violet. A big trouble maker at the school, she is mainly seen as a misbehaving rebel by everyone else. You may also consider her the ‘wilder’ character in this.

Initially, I wasn’t convinced that the least well behaved girl in the school would be best friends with the most well behaved, but now I really like it. Neither role is likely to make you too popular, so I like the idea of the two social outcasts joining forces when nobody else would really accept them.

The second character is April. I won’t spoil this character too much, but I will say that she starts off as more of a ‘bully’ character, but can be redeemed along the way.

As you may have noticed by the above images, the characters all go through a number of outfit changes in this game. Since everything is not set on a single night this time, I felt it made sense. Each of the three main characters have at least 4 costume changes. Here are Betsy’s three main outfits.

 

Next, something important I forgot to mention last week. I spent a long day going through the basic functions of the game engine and reading about the latest html possibilities. The result is that I’ve added a few upgrades and altered the layout. I’m now using ‘local variables’ rather than cookies. These can be more reliable, but more importantly, they should work online and offline with all browsers. So, you will be able to download and play Betsy offline using Chrome.

I’ve also decided to loose the bars on the left side of the screen. Previously, they only showed things to the nearest five, so they weren’t really that useful anyway, only serving as a very vague rating. For Betsy, I’m just going to use numbers. It should look something like this :

Another quick thing I forgot to mention last week. When deleting all of the adverts, I also updated any dead links on the site. All free games should now have three active filehosts for you to download them from.

Finally, a quick word about Patreon. Some of you were mentioning it as an option last week among the comments. It is certainly a possibility, but probably not the direction the site will be going in soon. I have been keeping an eye on, say, Tlaero and Mortzes patreon (https://www.patreon.com/tora), but while I’m not going to disclose exactly how much revenue the members section generates, it certainly looks like more than Patreon would provide. Needless to say, I make a sufficient amount from it that I can now produce the occasional game completely for free.

Next week, I will start talking about the content of the game, including the main plot.

Hello Everyone

Today, I am very happy to announce that the next game for the site will be Betsy. You may remember a couple of months ago, I had started work on Crystal Part 3, but my conviction towards it was waning. I think it might have been the format. The game followed the Jennifer template of picking many different activities and having more unlock unlock by making the right choices, but was just a bit too similar too that game. The plan is to have a large rethink about it, then maybe end up releasing it around Christmas.

This is mainly a blog post about Betsy though, so let’s move onto her.

Rachel’s slightly younger sister, Betsy is the shyer, nerdier member of the family. She loves studying, learning, and aspires to be an actress one day. In game, you will play as Betsy’s boyfriend/girlfriend (you will have the choice of both gender and ethnicity). Both of you are in your final year at school (though I am careful to note that you are both 18).

For the format of this game, I wanted to try something a little different. For these types of game (and perhaps games in general), there always seem to be a bit of debate between player freedom and story. A more linear game means you can spend more time constructing plot and you can build the characters, but the fact that you are usually forced down a specific path can make you feel a lot less ‘involved’ in the game. Greater freedom in game however, can make it feel much more like you are there and truly controlling what’s happening, but normally at the expense of character development.

Keeping all that in mind, I wanted to try a sort of hybrid game. The whole thing is divided into several sequences, which alternate between free and linear. Instead of one big date night, the player have Betsy and smaller dates in the evening, with more linear days at school in between. It’s my hope that having the more linear sequences in between will greatly help build the characters, but the choices presented in the evening will add lots of freedom and replayability.

One more thing I want to mention, because I know some of you will be thinking about it straight away, there will be no threesome with Betsy and Rachel in this. Both Betsy and the player are supposed to be fairly inexperienced when it come to sex (when you have sex in this game it’s supposed to be the first time either of you have ever done it), so it seemed like too much of an unrealistic leap to go from first time sex to threesome with your sister. It’s likely to be in a future game.

For this game, I also spent some of my time refining my image rendering skills. I might as well be honest about why – I had been looking at some of Mortze’s and felt a little intimated by how much better they looked than some of mind, so I decided to up my game. Hopefully, you’ll be seeing a leap in image quality for this one. 🙂

Finally, the big announcement about Betsy, this game…will be free!

It’s been too long since I made a new game free straight away, so I’ve decided it will be this one. Part of that is also going to be a little economic/social experiment. Obviously, in principal, I like it when my games are free. I’m an artist, and the more people who play my games and enjoy them, the happier I get. However, I do need a standard income from the members section. So, this time around, I’m going to try releasing the game for free, with an emphasis on signing up to the members section by choice, more like a donation where you get 15 games in exchange for it. If it works, this may be the first of many new games I make for free.

In addition to that, I also just want to quickly address the adverts on the site. You may have noticed they’ve gone. They’ve been annoying me for a while and the revenue from them wasn’t that high, so I just decided to remove them. I think the site looks much nicer now. 🙂

That’s all for this week. Next Friday I’ll be posting about all the other characters you’ll be seeing in this game.

Just a quick post today to bring attention to the fact that an updated version of ‘The academy : part 1’ is now available in the members section.

If you downloaded the original version and just want a patch, you can download that here.

Next week I’ll be starting posts on my next game, beginning with a rather large one.

The final post from dsp3000 on his game, The Academy Part 1…

I’m very happy to announce that my new game is finished and should now be in the members section.

‘The Academy: Part One’ is the first installment of what I intend to be a five part series.

This first episode is mostly about establishing the location, the characters and the storyline.

There are several tasks to complete on day one, but your main objective is not to get fired. This could be difficult considering the many ways you can be lead astray by a whole load of sexy girls.

Having played it through a few times, I can confirm that this game is much longer in duration than anything I’ve made before. Set aside at least an hour to play it.

Overall there are 997 images in the game plus another 18 end cards, and 25 profile shots.

This game should prove quite challenging. 12 of the game endings mean you get fired, but at least you can do it in style.

You can have a bit of fun during your first day in your new job and make it through to the end too though.

Have fun discovering all the endings!

EDIT – Here is the patch for those not wanting to download the whole things again : PATCH

Just drop all of it’s contents into the “game” folder, and replace the items if prompted.
