Everyone should have at least one comfort character that's literal royalty for the authentic 'treating you like a princess / prince / nonbinary monarch' daydreams you get to have

💖 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!!

For no particular reason, if the parkour civilization characters were in a superpowered au, what would their aliases be?

Hypothetically, of course, if I were to be back on my bullshit (ie turning everything I love into a superhero/villain au) what would people's powers be?

Listen, I love canon-compliant as much as the next guy. All I'm saying -- this fandom needs more alternate universe stuff. It's hard because most of the beauty is in the world, but surely it's possible to some degree, right?

Come come, imagine with me:

Evbo standing atop a roof, a glittering cityscape below him. It's beautiful, a world all his own, and one he must fight to maintain from day to day. His power of jump-boost is unmatched by any other figure, allowing him to effortlessly navigate the city skyline without breaking a sweat. The people call him Champion.

Alongside fellow heroes, such as an old mentor figure, and a hero draped in darkness, Evbo must face villains that threaten to topple everything he loves, and aim to chain him permanently to the ground.

As expected, there is an overarching villain, but the second-in-command is a pillar of questionable morals. I am also absolutely not opposed to throwing in a rivals-to-lovers or teammates-to-lovers plot line, all I'm sayin.

IMAGINE THE COSTUMES!!

Evbo with something akin to netherite boots, maybe modified sneakers to help break his fall when he lands his sick parkour jumps. Master Friend (EMF) with gold-plated armor covering his shadowy-figure. Seawatt with a veil over his face to hide his identity - just barely see-through enough for onlookers to tell he's got some dramatic makeup going on behind there.

If people are interested, I can expand it into a full AU I'm really having fun with this idea :D

The absolute tragedy and comedy of trying to interact with people when I'm regressed

When I regress because I'm sad/scared, I don't want to be around people

When I regress because I'm happy/at ease, I go nonverbal, so I can't speak or type anyway

Best I can hope for is 'half regressed enough to be chill'!

[icewindandboringhorror]

sometimes looking at like Self Help Strategies lists for the symptoms I'm having is always just like:

thing that I already do

thing I have tried 10 times

thing I already do

thing that I don't have the money to do

thing I already do

thing I've been doing since I was 10yrs old to no avail

thing that is impossible given my situation

thing that doesn't apply to me

thing that I already do

thing I have already tried

hrmm, oh wait, maybe finally- OH, yeah.. okay. thing that I already do but it was just phrased slightly differently

thing I have already done

Reigen and Teru also have matching little star patterns on their things

And I'm counting the little wings too even if they're very different kind of wings

See, it's hard to take Tyler seriously, cus on one second you're listening to an incredibly emotionally heavy song about his father, and then you open your phone and this is the album cover 🙃

He's just a silly goofy guy 🥹

I know people often talk about the certain amount of loneliness that comes with being autistic but I don't think non autists can really understand how soul crushingly profound it is
