Hey everyone, just a quick update before I dive back into work!
Development for The East Block Chapter 7 is going well, but we're still a couple of weeks out. I ran into some script and variable issues that took up the past few days as I tried to streamline things for the future. In the end, I decided to put that on hold for now, I’d rather not risk breaking things and giving myself even more work.
After the initial release, I’ll be adding some additional features. My main focus is getting the content out first, so I don't want to delay that with extras. But once Chapter 7 is out, I plan to roll out character bios, some quality-of-life updates, animations to replace some of the choppier ones from earlier chapters (which I completed months ago), menu and backend improvements, and the ability to name saves. That last one is trickier than it sounds, at least to make it function and look exactly how I want.
I also want to apologize for the delay on this update. This won't be happening again, as I’ve decided to put commission work on hold until I’m ahead enough to ensure that main game updates don’t take longer than three months. Ideally, I want to aim for every 10 weeks or so. Going forward, development should be more in line with how things were at the start.
I won’t get into personal life stuff this time, but everything is going well, and I’m really excited to wrap up this chapter and get it out to you all. I’ll be posting some NSFW images for the higher tiers tomorrow, along with some teaser images for everyone, here are a couple for now.
As always, thank you all for your support. I really appreciate it and can't thank you enough!
Bobby

Does this mean that Bobby is going to put in a corruption and sex acts stats log? I sure hope so. Kat starts out pretty innocent (almost) and is turning into a full-fledged slut & whore. Which is wonderful. It would be awesome to see stats documenting her fall.

Hey people like what they like and don't like what they don't like. If a person wants to take the game more seriously then you do wtf gives you the right to judge them for it.

I hope it ends better than GofT , or there will be a lot of disappointment, we don't want the leading characters killing each other, more a "dirty ever after ending"

I've played plenty of porn games where it's obvious that they're not to be taken seriously, because the content was intentionally set up to be quite silly and humorous. If that were the case here, then all I would care about is the quality of the sex scenes, and not the plot.

In this case, however, Luke and Kathryn are presented as what is supposed to be a believable couple. This is intentionally done so that the sex scenes will have more impact on the viewer. Without having established a sense of commitment between them or in regard to Kathryn an innocence and hesitation on her part to engage in sex with others even in doing it to fulfill her partner's kink, then the context of the sex scenes and thus the intended emotional impact provided by such scenes would not be the same. So if characters are going to be presented as believable, then I think that commenting on parts of the game that are difficult to believe or are internally inconsistent is warranted. Like I said though, with the introduction of the mass drugging subplot, this may help to explain some of their irrational and impulsive behaviors.

You're taking this game too seriously. It's ....

.....oh nvm. Why expect people to get it that also take themselves too seriously

Thats fine for people who don't support the dev financially but I would bet there are people on this forum that do. You think its right that people who are PAYING for the product by donating to the dev should just patiently wait? I mean that certainly is an option but if I were a dev telling people when an update would come out or even if I didn't give a date why would I want to piss of people who currently donate or are considering donating by taking forever. That is a sure fire way to lose support and once support is lost its hard to get back. Bras are easy to replace, getting people back after screwing them over is not. A good dev communicates and gives a decent timeframe. This dev was awesome in the beginning in my view and has really slowed down and I think that makes people worried that this dev like so many others is going to just shit on the people who supported them.

Honestly what idiots on this site don't get is this is free advertising, its a way for devs to get known and for prospective players to test things out to see if they want to support certain products. There have been a lot of devs who simply abandon their games or take forever to get anywhere after people have given them money.... or do you think those people who gave money should not expect anything for that money?

As a financial supporter I would rather wait and have a polished product than have a buggy rushed one now.

And I fully support that, but you clearly didn't read my post. I DON'T AGREE OR LIKE WHEN A DEV CONSTANTLY PUTS OUT DATES THEY WILL RELEASE AN UPDATE AND THEN DON'T. I personally prefer a dev who says things like "I should have an update done in like 3 months but I guarantee nothing" instead of saying stupid crap like "I will have the update done by the end of the week" Then nothing. You lose a lot of credibility when you announce you WILL do something and then don't especially if you keep doing it.

Now yourmomma you have every right to your opinion but if you think people shouldn't be pissed about getting baited and switched repeatedly well then we will have to just disagree.

I think it is time to start developing of another update which will not add anything to the main story, like Halloween2025 update. What? With current speed of delaying development that thing should be ready not later than ThanksgivingDay2026. But no guarantees of that, as always. At least - it is a realistic plan.

Seriously. Somebody should start to make a mod for the game, or something. I see no other hope for making the main story continue to see the light, from the dark deep hole of official delays, oh, i mean development, they still call that thing with that word, idk why.

haha I knew it the East Block Troll would show up today

In responding to my opinion about this game, you could not even help yourself but to attack me personally, but I'm the one who's taking this game too seriously?

 

[psychedevil]

i don t see anything common with another man wife,even if i like the game u mention it.Too bad dev abondoned AMW

I think you're misunderstanding what I said. I did not mean that the content of this game is similar to the content of Another Man's Wife. I was referring specifically to the occurrence of internally inconsistent dialogue at times, though like I said, this was more severe with AMW (which may have been part of the reason it was abandoned).

He will no doubt join the long queue of people on here begging for a hero to leak the update when it releases. Then of course proceed to complain about it.

I see so a Troll is someone who doesn't agree with you. Got it.

Not at all but I see you like to just assume shit and yeah I am doing the same to the "troll" but I don't care usually always the same. I didn't even read his post so I have no idea what it says but if you looked at previous post of his over the past several months it's obvious he is just a hater and troll that should just move on. Not to mention most of his post are wrote / formatted in a way that isn't easy to read ( at least to me they aren't) . This one of the few times his post was actually easy to read but he is always such a Negative Nancy I don't bother reading as it's always the same complaints at least feels like it to me.

So the update is going to take around 4 months this time.... hate to say I told ya so... but I did bloody tell ya. Oh but dont worry next time it won't take as long lol, just like he says after every update which keeps getting delayed longer and longer. Meanwhile the games play time gets shorter and shorter. Used to be closer to 2 hours, now lucky to get half of that.

Love the people who say: Don't worry its fine I'd rather wait to have a better product than a buggy mess. Keep simping and waiting for nothing. Why don't you wait until its gets to only one or two updates a year then keep saying that rubbish! This VN is going on my no play list from now on. Dev keeps lying and so many members here keep making excuses for him. I used to be the same way until I saw through the crap. No more on this thread for me, I'm sure the usual simps on here will be saying good riddance but I hope you'll wake up soon and see.

I know you don't give a shit since you announced your departure like it's an airport. but wanted to share my thoughts anyways.

I kind of assumed 4 month would be the standard after the update the came out during the Summer , which I don't even see the big deal many games take longer it's just the way things go when it comes to AVN's , just a reality you have to accept if you are going to be a AVN player. It's rare for a AVN to come out in 4 months or less it happens but rare , at least for the ones I play only a small handful pull that off.

Personally I don't care if it takes 1 month or a year. I see AVN's like a tv show I like it's cool if it happens but whatever if it's cancelled sure might suck but nothing you can do might as well enjoy the ride while you can if you like what is there. Which is why I mostly only support devs through Steam. Now if the update is only like 10 min that is a different story but each update so far has taken me like an hour at least if not more. So I don't think this dev will disappoint in play time

nobody want negativity,u are here just to annoy people who enjoy the game.Go away we don t care about people crying just because they didn t have update since 4 months.U aren t the dev prioprity! grow up dev have his own life too

 

[Joshy92]

Why the fuck would it matter if it takes a little longer for the update? If people don't like the wait times then don't be a supporter, it's that simple.

This isn't 2016 any more. All the big games on here are lucky to get one update a year, and east block has within the last year had like four or something.

Not sure why you are even bothering, the dev could kill a puppy on the street and these "supporters" would find an excuse for it. They don't even read posts and still attack people for writing them. I do love when devs keep milking people though, the smart ones see it for what it is and refuse to be suckers. Too bad for some the light bulb never goes on in their brains.

I read the posts and all I see is the usual whining about update times that every thread has.
People seem to think devs can work on their games all the time, but devs have family and usually a full-time job.

These games are made in a devs spare time, so people need to be patient. Bobby has released six chapters since the game started back in November 2023. There are other games that have gotten less content, but people support them do you know why? Because they want to so if anyone is being 'milked' that's their own fault.
