"Father, Michael punched me, and I did not fight back, however, I see that its unjust"
And father just shouting at Michael for "hurting his baby brother" while Michael being like i was no where near him
Gabriel, showing up 15 minutes late with Angelbucks or whatever and just feeling like sparking some drama: It's true, I was there 😔
Your ask just made me think of Lucifer & Michael's relationship in the show Lucifer tho and I hope that--if we ever get to see their dynamic play out in the game--it'll be similar to the one in the show (with the only change being that they actually like each other, of course)
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 ^^)
Has anyone else noticed recently how there's been a surge in "fujoshis are homophobic"/"women are fetishizing gay men" type statements and ideology around the same time "trans men are women trying to invade queer men's spaces" type anti trans men sentiments have been rising?

Okay this shot of Colin is giving me the vibes of this little part of their first night together:
He's figured out that he loves her before this moment but he's just feeling so much that he also can't believe it's all because of Penelope, his lifelong friend who he didn't even see any other way before this season. He's like: "What the fuck and how the fuck are you making me feel these things" and I LOVE IT
He also looks like he was crying (or maybe that's just me) but that would also bring the whole scene on another level
Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley describe their favorite thing about each other
Damian:
“Oh, boy…her mindset. I think her friendship to me and just the way she is and the way she carries herself is one of my favorite things. It always leaves me in awe and it’s actually inspiring a little bit, you know, just the way she is and she doesn’t stop being that way. No matter what, no matter how down she can get, she just can’t help being herself and it’s probably my favorite quality.”
Rhea:
“I mean, what’s not to love about Damian, to be honest? I think the thing - you’re gonna hate me - I think the thing that I love the most about Damian is that he’s just so extremely caring. And people don’t think that when they see us because like, we look terrifying, we’re big, we’re brutes - we like to beat people up, we love brutality. But this man is one of the most caring men that I have ever met in my life, and…I’m gonna make him cry. But like, every single step of the way, no matter how annoying I am and whatever I do, this man has stuck with me through everything, so, yeah, he’s just got a heart of gold and I love this man.”
you can never. EVER. rule out a Charles Leclerc during a championship battle. it doesn't matter how many bad weekends ferrari have. it doesn't matter how bad the ferrari car itself is. charles has always given consistent results, so trust that man to drag ferrari kicking and screaming to win this championship, because he WILL do it, mark my words.
Actually homestuck was created specifically so in the year 2024 I could have the only word that works to refer to whatever the fuck Alastor and Lucifer have going on.
