Hey everyone! It's your favorite dev again! Okay, that just sounds conceited LOL. Anyway! I was going to make this a patron-only post but decided at the last minute to make it public.

I am well underway with episode 2 development. Even though it really has been like 4 months since episode 1 released, at least we're still on track to have this out by the end of February. I am around 5% into the rendering process. That sounds like a low number, but those of you familiar with my workflow and timing know that once I get started rendering, I tend to work pretty fast.

As I've mentioned, episode 2 will give more attention to one girl (and it's not the one pictured above). In episode 1, a lot happened in a seemingly short time. It feels to me like it may have moved a little fast. With that said (SPOILER AHEAD), ep2 will have the first sex scene. I struggled internally with the idea of it being too soon. But because of who it is, they already know each other pretty well. Ultimately, I said fuck it and wrote it the way I wanted to. In the beginning, my goal was to have a sex scene in every other episode (to keep it sexy). But I threw out that idea and decided it would be best to have them where I feel like it is time for one. So, I've set no rules on sex scenes. I don't really want LH to be a 'fuck and go' story. And anyway, this scene needed to happen in order for the rest of open up and I preferred to get it done early.

As I said above, I felt like episode 1 was a little fast. But that is mostly due to it being a bit shorter than I would have preferred. Ep1 had 2775 lines of code, and about 1080 images. Right now, Ep2 has around 3100 lines of code, and around 1400 images (place-marked in the code already). I'm thinking 15 to 20 minutes more content than Ep1.

On love interests, I think it's important to let you know that your main LI's have already been seen in Ep1. There won't be any more. Your main LI's are: Alexis, Natalie, Dezzy, Kalina, and Alaina. One more pet claim will be revealed in Ep2, making it a total of 6 LI's, and of course, this is a 'harem' situation without needing to make choices. So, LH will have 6 main girls, but you're going to meet many females throughout the coming episodes. Some girls will react to lewd activity with outsiders differently than others. For example, Alaina could care less who you screw, as long as you're still screwing her too, LOL. Alexis on the other hand won't like it. So, there are going to be a few times when I am actually going to throw a choice in there so that you can see the consequences of that decision (to get it on with a non-pet character). At least... that is the plan. We'll see how it plays out going forward. We're a long way from screwing aliens though LOL. We have to complete the mating ritual with all of our pets first. 

Speaking of pets... as I announced in the recent poll, you'll now have the choice to change the word 'pet' to something else. I do encourage people to leave it as-is. But I understand that people prefer choice. And since my projects are mostly kinetic already, it makes sense to put this choice in there. After all, if it makes 22% of you happier with Last Human, and it doesn't really change anything for the other 78%, then why not. But due to the way I put this choice in there, you'll need to start the game over when Ep2 is released. Thankfully, we're making this change with only one episode done, so you can tab through Ep1 if you don't feel like reading through it again.

Well, that about covers it up to this point. On the Serenity front, Ep2 of Chapter 2 was fairly well received. It took a lot longer to get that one done, and some weren't happy about that (I wasn't happy about it either). But these things happen. Now we move on.

Have a great week my friends and stay tuned for more!
