Hello guys, just lost another backer....
It`s been 11 month since I developed AVIM and the reception to the game is still very low. In this crappy economy I understand people don`t want to spend money on an unfinished smut game.Yet,I have to make money if I want to pursue the dream of making games for a living.
Numerous platform Terms of Service that crushing the NSFW Game also been my main concern.
After thoughtful consideration, I decided :
1. AVIM will not be ABANDON, and it will in development as it is (Public, Patron and VIP)
2.I will be making smaller games to generate more income, sacrificing a portion of AVIM development time. This will make Layer Games not just producing AVIM but Adult Games as general.
It`s a shit economy right now, but I can`t give up on making games. I hope you can understand and thank you always for your support.
Working on minor pixel art props today.
There`s several light of hope to add several flavour (incest etc) to the game beside putting it on Patreon. Started UniFans and also Ci-En/DLSite, but for DLSite I have to censor the genitals and seems there`s a lot of Japanese gamer despite the game can`t support Japanese (How ironic).
Recently UniFans seems a potential alternative for SubscribeStar that doesn`t approve my page for over 5 months now. I will be keep you guys updated.

Name: Eri Nakada
Age: 21 (March 5)
Blood type: O
Occupation: Assistant
Birth place: Matsumoto, Japan
Hobbies: Going to the movie theatre
Background:
Eri grew up in a small town where opportunities for aspiring filmmakers were limited. She developed an obsession with film at a young age, frequently hosting movie nights with friends and dissecting her favorite films. Eri attended a local film university, where she thrived in her studies but remained a bit of an outsider due to her shyness. Graduating soon after, she found herself desperately seeking work to pay off her student loans after moving to Tokyo.
Desperate for immediate income, Eri accepted a position as an assistant at a local porn studio. Though initially apprehensive, she is intrigued by the unique storytelling opportunities within the adult film industry. This job, while not what she envisioned for herself, fuels her creative spirit and gives her insight into the filmmaking process. She also uses it as a stepping stone, hoping to gain experience and connections that could help her in her quest to create her own film.
Personality:
Eri is inherently shy and tends to avoid the spotlight, but her passion for film drives her to step out of her comfort zone. She possesses a reckless spirit, making impulsive decisions that often lead to unexpected adventures. This contradiction creates a complex character who is both reserved and daring. Eri is creative and imaginative but struggles with self-doubt, particularly regarding her talents and aspirations

Announcement
1. To speed up development process the I will be halting the Public Web (HTML 5) version to a Public stand alone download (Windows, OSX and Linux) from next month. Patreon backer will have the first early access download a week earlier before the public release.
2.Due to Patreon slowly cracking down on Adult Game developers, I decided to set up a SubscribeStar page (still waiting verification) and will be making the 4th build called "Extreme" exclusively for SubscribeStar. In Extreme Build will contain what Patreon is not allowed in their`s Terms of Service which I felt very limited because the theme of the game (seriously, it`s a Yakuza game, what do you expect?). Just in case Patreon purged the page and I don`t see they will backing down in the future, I still have way to fund the game.
Thank you for your support!
Here`s last month VIP Companion!Samus!
Added new dialogue for Kubo and Eri, Junya and Miya, Eri and Junya when they first encounter themselves.
I want story to be triggered by the player instead the game choking you with it.Build a Yoga Lesson Room to unlock Miya and other staff so they can interact with each other. I want them also have crush, fall in love beside the player so you will have rival if you targeting particular romance options. Instead fixed relationship I want to be randomly generated so you will have different NPC relationship every time you replay the game.
Need a lot of work and testing but I will work hard.
Thank you Marcus!
1. Yeah, hopefully I can release it on Steam someday, depends the demand from the players.
I`m not a programmer(self-learn)so It`s still limited for what I can implement but I also want the players to have freedom to mod. Hopefully once I can hire a dedicated developer I can add the mod feature. For now, the stand alone build is only on Patreon.
2. Thank`s for the head up, will fix it!
3. Ironically, the Japanese font it`s the only one that can`t be implemented, but i will keep in mind for the translation files.
Oh, man. Thank you for the encouragement man!6 month without any feedback really think no one want to play the game lol
