V.I.R.T.U.E.S. [v17]

It has been almost 1 year since we released VIRTUES v16. Back then we really thought v16 would be the last major update of VIRTUES. We used 10 weeks to create an insane amount of content (700+ new pictures and 70+ animated scenes) and thought “this is it, we’ve put a good end to the journey of VIRTUES. It is not a perfect end, there are regrets, but it is still a good end. We made it. We finish our first project instead of abandoning it halfway. There may be a v17 at some point in the future, but it will be a minor update, you know, like a DLC kind of stuff.”

I kept this thought even until last December, until we really began to develop this v17 update. But as soon as I re-entered the world of VIRTUES, I changed my mind. I realized there were still so many things I want to tell, so many scenes I want to make for those girls, the girls that used to be a big part of my life for more than 2 years.

Thus I changed my plan, and I changed it again and again during the last two months. More and more scenes were added, more and more lines were written, and less and less time I slept every day. And in the end, this update became so big that we couldn’t even imagine it. It became even bigger than v16. It has more than 900+ new pictures and 70+ animated scenes, with the greatest amount of text.

V17 is the last major update of VIRTUES. It is the biggest update we’ve ever made, and maybe the lewdest one as well. Still, it is not a perfect end and there are regrets, but we have done our best and we hope you will enjoy our hard work.

I will write a post as the final summary of the journey of VIRTUES in a few days. As for now, let’s just take a brief look at what’s new in the update:

Irene’s solo ending

The silver kitten finally got her solo ending. Her ending contains two long branches, and each of them leads to a unique happy end. You will help this girl solve her confusion and decide the path of her future.
Elisa’s solo ending

Just like her little daughter, this blonde milf’s solo ending also contains two long branches. This poor lady was deeply wounded from her previous marriage and she really needs you to take her away from the curse from her past.

The afterstory of your harem

There will be 4 major parts of your harem’s afterstory: Vera’s college dream, Uno’s real family, Senning’s daily life after her mother left the country, and the Shinyrost mother&daughter’s male worship. Each of them contains a tremendous amount of harem scenes.

v16 is the biggest update of VIRTUES, and it will be the last update in the beta period of VIRTUES. It has more than 700+ new pictures, 70+ animated scenes, and 30k new words. Its volume is equal to v14 and v15 combined.

There are only 5 new events in this update, but each of them is larger than any extra chapters or what-if chapters. These are the five major endings of the game. I have put everything I want to show you in them. For me, there are no regrets… … other than some annoying grammar mistakes, sorry about that~

Oh, no, there are still some regrets… that I couldn’t make Irene and Elisa’s happy solo endings in v16. Don’t worry, I will give them their happy solo ending in v17. Yes, there will be a v17.

But v17 won’t be coming very soon. I will write a post about the v17 plan in a few days.

The five endings in v16:

However at the same time, Theodora and Senning are getting along with each other pretty well. Will the girls’ relationship be affected by their mothers’ fight?

This short storyline is about the conflict of two harem cultures and the art of sex for mature women~

– Rachel
At this point I have to admit that I made some mistakes in developing Rachel’s story & background before, and I’m deeply sorry for failing to make her a more attractive girl.

I have done what I can in this update to enrich her character and fix her story & background. I know it’s not enough and I’m not very satisfied with it, but I hope you will like this girl a little more, even just a little more.

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to… you know, do the lewd activities with her freely like you did with Posia yet, because I’m not very sure if it’s a good idea to make Senning’s mother a bangable character.
There will be a poll about this after v10 is out.

– The first alternative ending
VIRTUES is going to have many endings and in v10 we are going to present you the first one! But don’t expect it too much because… well, it is a bad ending, hmmmmm… not that bad, but you probably won’t enjoy it.

If you find more bugs & errors, please let me know!

Main Systemic improvements:
– New mechanic: Girl’s attributes

After your relationships with girls improved from “general” to “girlfriend”&”sex partner”, their attributes will show up in their panels. You can level them up and trigger the corresponding plots by raising girls’ love points as you did before.

– Replaced girls’ “lust point” with a new system: “Harem acceptance”

All the plots & events that have more than just one girl in will now raise the H.A points of those girls, for example, the event of the MC patting Irene, Vera, and Uno’s heads in v0.5 will now raise the H.A points for Irene, Vera, and Uno.

New plots will be unlocked when the H.A points of certain girls are high enough (won’t be in v0.6 since I am too busy working at Elisa and Uno’s storyline). And in the future, when all the girls’ H.A points are high, you will be able to get into the harem route.

Systemic improvements:

Girls will now show up randomly at different locations with more than 100 unique repetitive short events. Find them, meet with them, discover more fragments of their lives, and get to know better of their personalities.

We will constantly add more short events in future updates. The future short events will mainly focus on how girls get along with each other in harmony and how they get jealous of each other. This game is a harem simulator, and those are what a harem is all about, right?
