No, it’s not discontinued. I am working on the next update of my another game The Better Deal, and then continue working on Beauty and the Thug. Two weeks ago I got an assistant, Aqwaa, so the development will go faster. The last report was published by him. Can you see it? itch.io had to notify my followers as he is the member of my team, but I can’t check it.

I hoped it as well, but I didn’t have much time this week because of my birthday. There was an issue with translations, quite fundamental and required a lot of work. I have already fixed it. Also, it was necessary to update the free version, and I finished it as well.
Now, I just need to add Brazilian Portuguese, French, Italian, and Spanish translations and finally publish the game. German translation is already done.
I would publish tbe current version 0.4a that you can find on my Patreon, but the itch visibility boost is very short, and I would like to use it wisely, having a version with translations.
Yes, starting from the beginning is a good idea. All my old saves still work with the current version, but the game structure has changed so much that it feels like a miracle they still function.
I’m close to finishing, but to complete the announced game overhaul, I still need to:
1. Create a short tutorial. I have a cool idea (at least I think it’s good) for this tutorial. It shouldn’t be boring.
2. Add achievements. There won’t be many, as I want them to be interesting and challenging, not just rewards for reaching certain scenes.
3. Add translations. This is probably the most frustrating part. My current translation files are almost useless because if I move a string to a different place, its translation stops working. I created a script to make the most out of the existing translation files, but it’s still a lot of work. On top of that, I’m constantly adding new text for hints and descriptions. I’m considering releasing the English-only version first and adding translations later.
4. Test the game. At some point, I plan to hire a professional tester, but that may take weeks or longer. For the release, I’ll try to test everything myself. I might also ask my supporters on Discord for help, but I’m not sure if there will be any volunteers.
5. Possibly extend existing scenes if I find it necessary (nothing major). Additionally, as a gesture of appreciation, I promised the guy who proofread the game that I’d add a small watersport extension to Lisa’s math test scene.
Hi!
Right now, I'm working on a game overhaul that will make all navigation through new content and choices much, much easier and I hope it will increase your game experience. You can find more information in my reports (here's the last one https://zegamez.itch.io/beauty-and-the-thug/devlog/808022/report-2024-15)
Regarding your questions:
1) There are five dreams + one nightmare with Amy and Charles. The last dream is where Lisa and Dolly discuss Lisa's "revenge", which is not really revenge. That's what you watch after Lisa goes to sleep.
Besides that, there are a lot of scenes with Lisa's imaginations (I didn't calculate them.) It happens when she watches lewd videos while playing in bed before sleeping. Most of the lewd videos contain such kinds of scenes. Also, on a high Bondage level, Lisa ties herself and imagines herself in a torture chamber where Dolly is her torturer.
Make sure you reach a maximum in all fetish skills - that would mean you watched all these imaginations.
2) The next thing I want to do with beach events is to implement nudist beach. Honestly, the story with Mr. Jefferson and Trump wasn’t part of the script. I just liked how Lisa looked covered in sand, so I decided to let her walk around like that for a bit longer. That’s when Mr. Jefferson and Trump showed up.
Someone had asked me about this before. If there are enough requests, I could definitely consider making a continuation.
3) The last day in v. 0.3.5 is June 24. You should save your game before June 25 because it's "Groundhog Day:" you can continue playing and having all sandbox events, but you won't have any scripted events after June 24. The next update that is coming this month will include Day 25 and Day 26.
