As usual, I won't be discussing SMTL since not all tiers have played the latest update yet. The R version for SHY tier, will be released on Friday the 22nd.
It's been a busy week working on ATC and the first DLC.
200 renders are done, including 100 for the DLC. The DLC is expected to include 300 renders, but no animation. I’d also like to clarify a few points about the DLC.
This DLC “paves the way” for the inclusion of trans characters in the game. Only female trans characters. There will be no sexual interaction between the trans characters and the other girls. There will never be any NTR or even sharing in ATC or SMTL.
This first DLC episode serves as an introduction to one (or perhaps two) trans characters, and aside from some teasing and a certain amount of sexual tension, there will be no sex scenes in this first episode. For me, sex scenes always have a purpose, and although some may appear early on in my games, I try to establish a clear reason for their inclusion.
As always, the DLC will be released first for the higher tiers and will follow the same progression, so don't rush to change tiers just to try to get an extra sex scene in ATC, there won't be any in this first episode of the DLC. Once again, I’m creating this DLC because many of you have asked for it and because I’m curious about writing this kind of character.
Now that this has been clarified, I would also like to raise a few points.
We wanted ATC to be a very open-ended story where you can choose almost every aspect, from the girls' outfits and hairstyles to their behavior and the story's content.
The prologue has three different endings and will let you decide how you want to play the game. I don't want to reveal too much, but ATC can be played in three different ways. Admittedly, the prologue is very general and vague, but later on, you'll be able to skip certain story arcs and focus solely on what you enjoy.
The game can be a management sim focused on the university and the students. There are a few stories about the students and the MC, as well as the professors.
The game could also be a classic visual novel, allowing players to explore the city, its history, and its characters, and to uncover the past of MC and all the other characters.
And finally, ATC can also be an adventure game with a rich storyline and the ability to alter events, whether in the past or the present.
I don't want to be more specific and spoil the fun of discovering it for yourselves, but trust me, the end of the prologue can be replayed three times, so the beginning of Chapter 1 will vary depending on your choices.
I know I'm taking a huge risk, since a lot of people don't want to replay an AVN multiple times to discover its content, but that's how I like to play them, and how I create my games.
I want to make it clear that you can play the game however you like; there are no bad endings or wrong choices. Make your choices based on what you enjoy, and only play the DLC if you like the content it offers.
ATC is a very ambitious game, and I’m committed to creating it with all the content I’ve envisioned. However, this game can only exist with your support, which is why there’s a second game. This allows us to release updates more frequently and grow our fanbase.
I’m incredibly grateful to be able to do what I love every day, and even though it can sometimes be complicated, frustrating, or even difficult, all I have to do is read your messages, your reviews, sometimes scathing, sometimes passionate, to find the strength to write, to create, and to bring a little love, and sex, to this completely crazy world.
Well, I’m putting down my pen, or rather, my keyboard. I’ve been very, too chatty again, but I love to write ;) Thanks for reading all the way to the end, and as always, I’ll leave you with a few spoilers. A plethora of spoilers to kick off the development of ATC V0.1

Thank you all for your support and contributions to these games, which belong to you just as much as they do to me.
