Hey there, Sophomores! It's your turn to gain early access to the new release alongside the Juniors, Seniors, and Graduates.
Here are the download links:
PC: Google Drive | MEGA
Mac: Google Drive | MEGA
Download the appropriate file for your computer, unzip, and then launch the version of the game found in the new folder. You can delete any folder containing previous versions of the game—your saves and CG unlocks are stored elsewhere on your computer.
Some of the new content is disabled by default. I recommend checking out the new content settings from the Options screen of the main menu before playing Trevor's Grind'm scenario.
If you play through the main game, you should start a new save. There have been a number of code changes made to the earlier portions of the game to fix things on the back end. This means you may encounter some issues unless you start over from the beginning.
The Skip option at the bottom of the screen can help you fast-forward back to where you left off. To help you zoom through extra fast, you can change the settings on the Options menu to skip unseen text and to immediately resume skipping after you make a choice.
Content settings have been added to comply with platform rules about adult content. If you want to discuss it in the comments, I'd appreciate discretion so as not to run afoul of Patreon's guidelines. I may set up a Discord server soon to allow more open discussion.
Trevor's Grind'm Scenario
This update is dedicated almost entirely to a brand new Grind'm hookup featuring Trevor, NC17's twin, who was chosen via Patreon vote to star in his own scenario. Once unlocked, you can access the new scenario from the Grind'm section of the main menu.
Like Jordi's scenario, you can choose to navigate the hookup however you like when it comes to positions. New galleries have been added to both guys' profiles so you can browse the CGs you've unlocked. Click the Album button on their profiles to view.
The new scenario has nearly 200 new CGs (dependent on the content settings you choose), so there are a lot of ways to play through!
New and Updated Art
A lot of character art has been revised to refine character models and raise the quality level of some of the earlier pieces I created.
In particular, new HD models have been made for a number of characters. Of those, new sprites were created for Isaiah, Julian, Matt, and Owen, plus future Grind'm guy Parker. An entirely new model has been created for Isaiah's nemesis, David, as well.
If the image is already unlocked, your gallery will have newly revised CGs for Isaiah in particular, plus a few others that can be found for Julian, Matt, and Leo.
You can also find two new CGs that can be unlocked during the first fantasy sequence of the game by choosing not to think about any of the main characters (Leo, Marco, Matt, or Riley).
Content Toggles
You are now able to toggle on or off certain kinds of content from the Options menu. Right now there are two implemented, one on by default and the other requiring you to turn it on yourself. Hovering over the options will give you details on each topic.
Restored Scenes
Though not available in early access, the final release will restore scenes for Isaiah that were previously cut for time. These scenes will take place before the shower sequence during the Morning After portion of the game and will include a couple new CGs for him. There may be some other content added back in as well, dependent on time.
Patreon-Exclusive Relationship Guide
This in-depth guide gives step-by-step details on how to follow the "ideal" relationship path for each main character. By the time of the final release, this will be added as a separate download for Patreon patrons only. New versions of the guide will be released each time a new story update is released.
To play Trevor's Grind'm scenario, you will first need to meet him in the main game. The quickest way to do this is:
Hang out with anyone except Alex or Isaiah after Will's class on Day 2
Go to (or stay at) the club
Say hi to Asher when given the option
You'll receive a pop-up confirming you've unlocked the new scenario, which you can then play by visiting the main menu and clicking on the Grind'm button.
You can view most of the new art just by looking at your gallery. Playing through the game itself will display the new sprites anytime a revised character appears.
To unlock the two new in-game CGs:
Play through from the beginning until Connor contemplates having fun before orientation
Choose "Fuck it, I need to cum."
Choose "I shouldn't think about them this way..."
Once unlocked, the new CGs will be in the Other Guys section of the gallery.
Grind'm updates are designed to give us something to play while waiting for a new story update. The next story update that will feature Matt and Evan has been in production alongside this update. There are bimonthly status reports here on Patreon that will break down how progress is going so you can follow along with the development.
Senior and Graduate patrons will get access to "dev builds" of the next story update. Dev builds are in-progress, unfinished versions of the game that will let you play through a section of the new content before the final release is ready for early access. Stay tuned for info on those in the coming months!
This update has been a challenge due to real world events and life situations that caused some delays along the way. Having your support the past 8 months has been invaluable in keeping this project going, and I can't thank you enough.
Although this release is primarily just a diversion while we wait for the story to continue, I hope you have fun all the same. The groundwork has been laid for all that's left to come, and I'm going to be working overtime to get it to you as soon as I'm able!
Thank you again! I hope you enjoy!
