    1. had some family event today but did get some testing done. Need to add the sentinel battle hentai scene.

  1. Damn! 16 animations is a lot and thats not even counting the game surrounding it.

    Guess Zytra and friends are going to have a lot more focus in here than before in umcc.

    1. 16 scenes that make up the quest, not 16 animations heh. I call a scene the various dialogue events that are part of the quest. There are 7 animations within various parts of those 16 scenes.

      yeah you bring up a point I wanted to address with these quests.The whole game even. To not just have characters with different personalities but to even explain why they have that personality. These previews pics don’t even remotely do the quest any justice heh. It will be interesting to read people thoughts on in it.

  2. Well if there isn’t much left to do I am sure there will be another post later today with a download available of the new public version & patron.

  3. Out for the holiday but hope to play through the update when I get back if it is available. I haven’t dabbled much in the UMCH universe so it’s all relatively new to me. I mainly stick to ARIA. Should be fun though.

      1. this is correct. calm down a bit, it is a holiday weekend in the US and I spent some time with my cousin/family helping them do stuff. My own person goal is this weekend so i am working towards it but it is not definitive.

        1. My bad. :L But your work is too awesome Vortex, we lose control, do you mean this coming Saturday? ;P

          1. “Holiday Weekend” as most put it. Burgers, hotdogs, steaks, beer and fireworks. What could possibly go wrong?

          2. Holiday weekend for me is “boy oh boy I can probably finish X so I can release it when lots of people are off.” then my cousin called and wanted to hang out so I didn’t work on the game much. It’s cool thoguh because I don’t want to ignore my family. Then my mom called me today and was like “I’m right outside your house” heh.

          3. At least you caught up with family. Anywho i’m off to sleep so I will be waiting. :’)

          4. Well, as much as we would want to get work done on holidays, spending time with family is more important. You did the right thing!

  4. I just tried this release, i found a few things that could be patched up.
    When u do the Cafe games, after reaching over 150 exp, every time you try to get a new client for the H-minigame Holly will always call you for the “special guest” no matter which girl you use.
    Not using the pill and getting an “accident” doesn’t happen.
    How to trigger the “Affluently Effective” quest?

    Anyways, so far it does look good, and hopefully we can get to see more :3 Thanks for the hard work!

    1. Thanks you need to post your save code and make sure you are playing v12. just double clock the save area to make sure you have all of it.

      I’m fairly certain the pill stuff is working correctly. when the pill icon shows up next to the stress display and you sleep it will trigger it. Not every sex scene will add the pill icon. maybe I can add to the walkthrough which one add the pill icon. But it is maiko x greel, maiko x joiry, maiko x david (nighttime menace), maiko x tom.

      every time you have exactly 1 p.client, or one client left and over 100 exp it will be the special scene.
      this is explained in the walkthrough also. Based on what you wrote it is working as intended.

      Affluently Effective quest is described in the walkthrough also.

      1. Okay, I managed this morning to get the whole Cafe H-Minigame sorted out, same with the pill. Although the “Affluently Effective” quest still didn’t triggered even after following the walkthrough, Maybe there’s specific requirements for the quest to start?
        Also, for some reason the money & cafe exp. went from normal to really low gain. like every time i work at the cafe, i only get like 6-8 coins and the cafe exp only goes up 1 every time i work and it takes forever to even reach lvl 2 at the cafe, not to mention lvl 3 (150 exp) :/ Maybe I fcked up somewhere xD
        Also, is it normal for Pattie to beat me in 1 hit on practise?
        Anyways, I’m loving the game so far, I hate the swimming when I use the laptop xD

        1. I had a idea this morning I will do to help make the H-min more understandable.

          and yes now that you mention it, I think for the AI quest Maiko needs to have 15 melee to start since it has fighting scenes. you build up fighting from boxing minigame. I need to add that to the walkthrough.

          you need to swim a few times to build up Maiko’s HP. And during the fight make sure to punch pattie (or anyone) right as they come out of blocking. be sure to use the hairpin.

          not sure on your cafe issues. if you miss too many times to recheck a lot the amount you get goes down. yeah the game is designed for mouse and keyboard.

    1. I will try for next weekend I suppose until otherwise mentioned. There are some issues the need to be cleared up. some people on patreon are unsure how to play certain parts of the game of have issues/questions, so I need to make sure these are explained in game or the walkthrough, or just where people can find it before a public release. Because there will be a lot more people potentially asking the same question on different websites and forums where I may or may not be there to answer.

      1. It might be a good idea to add a help link at the title screen which takes the player to the walkthrough on this website since the walkthrough will be updated a lot and doing that out of game would be easier i’d say, maybe also include a quick guide on how to play certain aspects of the game like Cafe and Boxing at the start of the walkthrough too.

        I’m sure it would be the easiest method since we could play the public version earlier, maybe when you post it’s release, have the guide and walkthrough on the same post so people can see what it’s about before downloading. :’)

        1. Forgot to mention that the public would be able to give you extra support aswell, it’s not like it’s a final product so most people understand what the alpha stage is and a lot of people who are downloading already knows or has a good idea of how the game works, since they are fans of your games Vortex. 🙂

          1. you are referring to people here. I’m referring to people seeing my stuff for the first time through some other site.

          2. True, but wouldn’t those people understand it’s in alpha? They must have at least came across your previous works so they know you mean good. That is why I mentioned about including the walkthrough on the download when you have it finished, i’m sure many would agree with me here since you do amazing works, it wouldn’t give negative results having people come from other places since you mentioned it’s an unfinished piece of work at the moment, though it’s up to you how you go. Even the one you uploaded in January had a bug or two, but doesn’t everything? Still, your ideas are what counts here! ^_^

          3. unfortunately that not usually how it goes Seraphic. when people read unfinished or alpha they usually expect to play a game that is fully complete up a certain point. not a game that has parts missing from the currently playable stuff. Just need to add a few more tutorials on the tablet. It’ll get done. just need to relax and have patience for a bit.

          4. @Vortex: Thats so rude that people would expect that after you clearly stating what condition it is in. Can some people not read? Ahh. >.<

          5. AAA game development ruined the terms “Alpha” and “Beta” about 5-8 years ago. Now an “Alpha” or “Beta” is considered a demo of a complete game because everyone and their grandmother releases “Alpha” and “Beta” trials for AAA games.

            Way back when that never happened. You’d get free demo discs in something like Playstation Magazine, but that’s what they were — demos of a final product to try before you buy. This is completely different. ARIA, UMCH, ect are evolving projects and very few people will actually understand that..

  5. He doesn’t have to Sky. :/ I’m just giving him a few ideas how to guide people, its just gonna take a few more weeks. 😮

  6. Oh noes, I got vacatio on Friday for a week, I don’t know if I will get to play it for a while. o_o

  7. will have some posts later today also will reply to comments and forum posts i haven’t replied to yet
