more TEXT WALL otherwise know as updates
Site updates:
Still trying to get open registration back going. If you need account here e-mail me with the name you want and I will manually create it. This is how it has to be until I find a working solution. Because otherwise the sites goes even slow then it does and eventually crashes the server cause my hosts intervene and that is not ever a good thing.
Project Udates:
UMCC:
I am working custom characters into UMCC. Also with some other suggerstions. If I was booked you make your custom character it will be in this format first at the release of the updated game. Anthing further will be added in later releases and I code for functionality into it. So if you want your character in there, go ahead and contact me with the stuff metioned on the custom characters page and just describe the hair to me or give me a photo link reference.
ARIA:
here is fun fact, in two days from the date of this post I would have been getting art from pinoytoons for ARIA for exactly a year now. He has not been doing stuff for the game the entire time, but that was when I started. Almost exactly a year ago. the difference is only 2 days. And for music, it has been even longer than a year I stared getting music and audio going in 2012.
so far I have spent for ARIA from my own pocket:
art: $1084
music: $115
This started well before I started trying to collect money for anything. I predicted that the res of what I am trying to get done will cost about 6-5k. So I doubt I will be able to do without others to assist. So please consider donating if you can spare a bit: http://www.patreon.com/vortex00
I will try a official campaign again after I have a pretty good and presentable demo.
Product Updates:
nothing at the moment.
a few changes I have already done coming up:
custom characters with option for custom sentinel also
tiny content message added to title screen
David fight only happens once
you can now report David if you want at GemCo law Division
bully fights removed (it is really buggy and hardly worth keeping in currently)
anal loop added to sex club workout options
Maiko can now buy more than 1 dildo
the number of dildos Maiko has is shown on the status page on the tablet.
Maiko can use up to 4 different dildos at her home solo
home yuri also makes use of the different dildos.
I am almost done with his update. It is not as much anal as people were looking for but it is a start.
I have the Bandcamp Free Version, can you let me know when the update will be ready?
I can’t guarantee I will remember, but if I do them I will
I’m trying to have registration open again. so those reading this can try to register.
Just so you know mate, saw your post and I made an account.
It registrated fine, fast and easy.
cool cool thanks, yeah because I didn’t test the questions or anything at all.
It’s nice to see new faces on this site, so yeah the users are growing.
How do I get the updates with the bandcamp version?
just wait for me to post it.I sent the first update a while ago to those who had contributed at least a dollar. so if you paid something for it recently send me a message.
Oh ok thanks. I’ll have to wait a little lol 🙂
Good to see new people joining the website, thats great!
I can say the same about the 2 games, one is almost finished, but always getting polished and updated.
What to talk about ARIA? Look great as time passes, i hope the umcc donations help to take a little of the strain on your pocket, that aria art is bringing…
more changes coming up in update 2:
anal added to all parts of sex club animations
dialogue added at the start of all sex club animations
dialogue added to Coach Tom’s scene and buttons
It is possible for Maiko’s friends to get cum on their face. (They do not react to it yet when talking to them).
foot job scene added in the school main hallway when Maiko is with a guy that has over 5 relation exp.
it has dialogue also
mild typo fixes
once I finish the custom char testing, I will upload it. I will be testing that stuff today so hopefully I will finish today also.
Is this a patron/offline game thing or will this be available to everyone?
Thanks for the notice! Can’t wait for the update now!
I am also looking forward to the update, as well as the new Aria game.
I just purchased the offline version and it is still the buggy version. i really like this game. enjoy it very much for a one person job.
Wait just a little more man, Vortex is working on the new update, so he is going to update the rest of the stuff.
I have no problem with waiting. just trying to see if the new update may have been up for those who paid for it. the asking price is well worth it and then some. and the asking price is very cheap. thanks for getting back so quick
No problem dude. There is another version, but it seems people at bandcamp are having problems to get it, so Vortex have to send to each person every time. So he is making the new update, with more content and then he will solve this problem.
i look forward to it. i really do. do u get any extra benefits to purchasing the game instead getting it free off of bandcamp?
Well, the bandcamp version used to be payed before. Now its name your price, but its still the offline version. If you like it, you can donate a little, but its still the same version. This offline version is the most complete one, but its still free to play.
@jccq89
it automatically switches back to $7 after my free downloads run out.

I am trying to get donors all grouped up so this can be easier.
Oh, ok. I see.
I think I managed to finish update 2 finally. it should be up later today. There are quite the colorful array of custom characters already included also that spice up the game a little bit.
I wanted to add in sex in the shower and in the room in this update but it would have taken too long and a lot of people have been asking me about the updates. Sorry it is so confusing right now about what to do. But it will get it sorted out soon hopefully since update 2 is more public.
Awesome, can’t wait to play it. Should I restart my game save or will these all still be accessible through my current save?
It should still work the same, you should be able to transfer your save from the old version to the new version.
Unless Vortex00 added new story line in important event story. If he did added more story line event than the password system won’t work. Because he’ll have to add the new code for the changes of the new one added in.
He (it is a he right?) said it would be released later today. Do you happen to know when?
sometime later today I don’t even know the exact time myself. at the earliest would be more than 7 hours from now but no later than 11 or 12. that is the plan at least. unfortunately I am not in a position to work on the game fully. I have a full time job and other obligations I have to attend to also.
I know as much as you on when it’s going to be release which he said it should be up later today. Unless trouble turns up in the progress of his update. Will just have to wait and see.
Keep in mind he have a day job in real life, he comes home to get to work on the flash. He does everything by himself. He finally working with someone for the new Flash Aria. So let’s hope that helps him in the long run for the next one to follow after UMCC.
Thanks for the info and for working so hard on this Vortex! I wish i could donate some money now, but i have nothing to give. But, i will once i get a stable income. Sex in the showers is not needed in my opinion, and which room are you talking about? Anyways once more thanks for the news and for working so hard. We all appreciate what you done and for giving us a fun game!
Thank you for your comments~
I wish you well on getting you income stabilized.
The room I am referring to is Maiko’s room.
Your very welcome my friend!
Hey Vortex, glad to hear the update is going along well. I was just wondering if there was a place to leave any suggestions I have for the game. I got a couple things that, while not really important, I would like to see none-the-less and I didn’t want to bother you by leaving them in the wrong place.

There you go.
So will you release update 1 and 2 for the public?
It should be some time today. Or if something happens early tomorrow morning.
update 2 is public and contains all of the new stuff plus all of update 1 and and the offline version. So releasing update 1 is not necessary. I will figure out how I will distribute future updates. but meanwhile I will need to make some progress on ARIA.
Well it seems like it is the same to me. All the sex scenes on the beach is still messed up and the sex club doesn’t have any more options than what is already there. (idel, slow, medium, fast, cum, exit)
sex scenes on the beach are fine on my end of update 1, thoguh I do see the park skirt bug is still messup a bit though. That whole park thing is pretty buggy.
also changes to the sex clubs were not a part of update 1.
I will get the membership requests sorted out later tonight.
please check the groups section

also what other group would anyone want to see? it can be basically anything. Later I will try to create some fun things to do here to pass the time lol.
I used to have a functional arcade but the user base has changed, but you might try some of these older minigames I made a while back for now

I just finished addressing some critical bugs that @Fixx420 found cause me a bit of a delay. but I am getting ready to upload update 2 and make the post.
Shit now every one is going to hate me…
But I am glad I could help you find a few bugs.
It’s nothing new for me, I’m use to delays he is just one guy doing everything. A delay isn’t a bad thing, it’s a good thing do to patching up bugs.
How will we be able to tell when he has updated the game? Does he make a post or something?
Yes, Vortex00 always makes a post statement of his newest update. This website is also his blog what is going on and what he is up too.
Fuck… *refresh nope…. (30 minutes later) *refresh Fuck….
the hosting data center this is on is having issues so the site is going in and out. nothing I can do at the moment unfortunately.
I made a post on reddit… what re the chances it got over loaded?
no that is not a issue.
it is a data center issue dealing with packet loss and latency.
http://forums.hostgator.com/network-outage-provo-t316804.html
Cool looks like it will be fixed soon. But I wanted to tell you even with the site going on and off I made number 10 post for the day in http://www.reddit.com/r/hentai/top/?sort=top&t=day . So that’s a good thing plus it is going to go up since we still have another 12 hours before the post is removed from todays postings.
Out of curiosity how many people could this server hold? I might try posting this in a bigger sub-reddit.
it is shared hosting currently so not much. the exact number I don’t know. what sub-reddit did you have in mind ? I guessing at worst it will just make the site go a bit slower or something temporarily.
Well /r/rule34 . If it goes big in that sub reddit the site will be really full. Ill post it tomorrow morning.
Thanks for helping spread the word on the game, just mention to people that if they want more of this, then can always donate to help funding the next game. I am sorry for asking this, but all the help is appreciated, with this the next game can be even better it would with just Vortex work. He can use the money to invest in it and get more animations and other stuff.
Here is the link if you want to check it out.

So far the post is number 6 of the day (meaning it got attention quick) and number 17 for the most voted today.
thanks
thanks
based on my price calculation, ARIA will probably cost me 2.1k total by the end of it lol. already have about 1.1k in. that is with background art, the rest of the animations and light voice acting for the mini games included.
Damn… Most likely this week end I will donate $10… But damn I feel like I am barely helping.
You are doing a lot. Thank you~
that already helps man, if more people think like you, we can reach a good number in no time
