digital version coming in the near future maybe

[14dayswithyou]

💖 Day 3.5 is now available! 💖

For the last couple of months, only Server Boosters had access to the 3.5 update... Buuuuut now it's available for everyone to play in the 14DWY Discord — and soon itch.io once I'm happy with the QA and state of the game — so please don't feel pressured to join unless you want to!!

The full devlog + even more screenshots are under the cut ^^

What's been added to the 3.5 version?

📺 Streamer Mode!

I've been told that it's difficult to stream and monetise age-restricted videos on YouTube and Twitch, so I added an option to remove the sexual content and strong language used in the demo.

Now y'all can invite Ren into your bed for cuddles without putting your streamer career on the line /silly /lh

This won't affect the 18+ rating or dark themes/elements of the game, however! Although Streamer Mode will prevent you from seeing any "gruesome" CGs in the future, most of the core elements of the game will still be tied to the choices and decisions you make. So you won't miss out on the overall experience by using streamer mode!!

⚙️ Custom Pronouns!

It only took me one entire year to get around to it, but you can finally choose your own preferred pronouns (or use a set of pronouns instead)... At the cost of being able to change them mid-game ^^;

Since the original pronoun screen wouldn't update until a new scene was displayed, I temporarily disabled the feature. But once I find a workaround, I'll bring it back!

💗 Choose how others perceive you!

You can now choose how the cast and narration perceive you! Originally, the narration was kept strictly gender-neutral (outside of pronouns and genitalia picked by the player), but this will soon change in future updates.

For more clarity: you don't get to choose the words specifically, but you can choose between masculine, feminine, and androgynous terms!

📋 Separate top and bottom genitalia!

You can now choose your tatas and pps separately! >:3

Alongside that, you can also choose your preferred body type!

I removed the "both" genitalia option because a few players still assumed it was an obscure version of "intersex". That wasn't my intention and I don't want to mislead anyone, so I took it out for now ^^;

I also didn't want to include a screenshot of the new genitalia choices in action (because it's NSFW), so y'all get the same character menu screen for the nth time instead lmao

📱 Relationship Screen Overhaul!

You can now change your own status for more immersion, and long-term Server Boosters will eventually be able to submit and use their own icon within the game as well!

Stalking finding your friends has now become easier by using "Buddy Maps"; a new app that allows you to see the location of all the cast members!

I want to offer players more incentive to check the relationship screen since they tend to miss the status updates, so hopefully this might help ;v;

It also says it "updates every few hours" so folks don't go overboard and check every 5 seconds to see where Ren is gdsghf (also keep in mind that he's a hacker lol)

🖤 Additional Scenes Update!

Day 2 received a brand new CG!!!!! Originally, I planned on only adding a few CGs sporadically throughout the game, but it didn't feel right to leave Day 2 so... empty... so I added a brand new CG to (hopefully) make things feel more balanced and natural!

If you decline Teo's offer on Day 3, Leon will now call and try to convince you to reconsider. However, players are still allowed to decline, and if they do, they'll reach a dead end.

After listening to feedback on itch, I changed some of the dialogue during Days 1-3 to make it seem more consistent! They're only small changes though, so it's honestly not worth looking for sdgjssga

🎶 Updated BGM and SFX!

I wanted to try out a different style of music to see if it fits the vibe of 14DWY more! The BGM features more acoustics to suit the "beachy" theme of Corland Bay, though I made a conscious effort to include piano elements as well to stay true to the original!!

I figured it'd be better to give players a live example before I make a poll (to see if they prefer the change or not) and publish it to Itch.

Some new SFX have also been added, though it's very minimal and honestly not that noticeable.

How to download and play the update?

(warning: clicking on the following links will open Discord!!) To download the Day 3.5 update, simply join the 14DWY Discord server, verify your age, and visit the "14dwy-updates" channel!

Alternatively, you can also wait until the update is publicly released on Itch to play it as well!! (It normally gets released shortly after a round of QA testing/getting feedback from the server, though I may release it earlier if I feel like it hehe ^^)

Enjoy!!

Heyyyyyy @betweenblackberrybranches did you know that I like your automatons designs a lot?

The best way I can describe Tim Drake is like. Imagine you have this family restaurant that you really love and adore and it’s run by good people who, like, donate to food banks and homeless shelters and such. This is your Absolute Favourite restaurant and you’ve been going there since you were a kid and it’s a great place for the community, too. Then one day the janitor dies. Nobody else really notices and the restaurant tries to keep running as normal but nobody’s cleaning the bathrooms and things are getting weird so you go in and you’re like. Uhhh you need a janitor and I’m gonna be your janitor. The previous janitor was the restaurant owner’s son and he died because of the janitor job, which the owner feels immense guilt over giving to his son. The restaurant seriously needs a janitor before it violates health rules and poisons someone to death. You force your way into being a janitor right before a health inspection that could shut the restaurant down using a mixture of brute force and blackmail. The owner very reluctantly allows you to be the janitor. The owner’s only living son, who ran away to open his own restaurant in another city, is the best brother you could ask for until the owner dies and you are immediately replaced by a ten-year-old. Also, when you became a janitor, you were thirteen years old and in eighth grade.

Moodboard Monday/Tidbit Tuesday 🎿

Since I already posted the mood boards for the other two Christmas fics, it's only fair to show you this one as well.

“Sounds like a plan.” Buck gave him a brilliant smile and it made something soft and gooey shift in Eddie’s stomach. There was just something about standing here under the warm yellow light of the kitchen lamp, while it was still dark outside, every sound muted by a thick layer of snow. It was almost like there was no one else in the entire world right now; only Eddie and Buck, staring at each other with half-formed smiles over the brims of their mugs, sipping on hot coffee and making plans for the day. It felt as if the darkness could hide whatever happened, whatever that soft gooey feeling was; it was the secret of the warm light and the soft snow.

[fadedflora]

i have not listened to hamilton in like a week why is he STILL HERE

read the tags if you want to see me talk about musicals for a little TOO long

[svtskneecaps]

so what i'm putting together from osmosis and the wonderful livebloggers and the incredible arkanis english updates account is something like this

Prefeito Jota: Hello, I'd like to hire you to investigate what happened in my city/island(?)!

Bagi, who was previously "invited" to a mysterious island/city by its elected official, subsequently trapped on the mysterious island/city, investigated the deep mysterious history of the island/city, came to no conclusions, found her brother after years of searching, was separated once again from her brother, gained and lost an adopted daughter (possibly to being kidnapped by the island government, which was evil), gained and lost a demon fiancée (possibly to being dragged back to hell, so there's no way to find her), gained and lost a close demon friend to dubious circumstance (did he die for his children? is he with skeppy in the gas station?), and has had an unknown amount of time to process and/or suppress all of this: Sure! :D

[psalmsofpsychosis]

I dont think at this point i can even start on classic literature if i tried, like, i have absolutely zero patience for stories that take their goddamn time "building up" to things. "give exposition talk and show your characters doing everyday things" girl only if the everyday things contribute to the theme of the story! I dont have an ounce of interest in traditional idle starting points, "this story takes awhile to warm up and nothing happens for 45 pages" lmao bye

[louscartridge]

I just wanna say again that I really didn't block you on purpose lmao 😭😭😭

Also, I keep making mistakes in my asks like wtf I can't type anymore istg 💀 (watch me making multiple mistakes again in this ask too)

Don't pressure yourself to start asap or smth. Like, really, take your time PLEASE. Just take care of yourself yk and enjoy life bestie. Besides, I literally have a lil the time in the world (seriously 🧍🏻‍♀️) I'm a very patient person lol so you could take weeks or months and I wouldn't complain so yeah .. idk what else to say (I think it's enough anyway .. I talked too much again) but here have a donut from Keeho before I go 🫴🏻

LMFAOOO IT'S OK YOUR GOOD.

OK now I'm gonna shut up bc now I'm talking too much LMAO.

[idiosyncraticrednebula]

I really wish some of the actresses who have voiced Disney Princesses would stop comparing their princess to the previous ones and claim how she was the "first" one to have *gasp* independence and strength *gasp*. Have they ever watched a Disney movie outside of their own?
