I'm finally making some progress on the next release of ESM, and I figured I'd post how it's going, both because people keep asking and because it might be a good way to help me keep track of where I'm at and what I have to do.

This release should hopefully finish out the house path for Karma and Jade, which will also finish out the house completely (except for a few side projects I might do). They mostly revolve around the same location, the living room and dad's pristine white couch. So far the sections are:

SECTION ONE:
Spoiler: show
SNIFF THE COUCH
Karma and Jade texted you to sniff the couch where they made out. Now you can!
Several variations depending on what you smell and how it triggers you.
31 pages total. DONE!

SECTION TWO:
Spoiler: show
BRIDGETTE TELLS YOU HER PLAN IN THE LIVING ROOM
Another variation on Bridgette's end speech with all new images and several new paths.
29 new pages. MOSTLY DONE! I screwed one thing up here that takes 2 pages that I need to completely revise. Call it 90% DONE. UPDATE 2/5/26 DONE! Eventually I may port the stuff I'm replacing to another segment, but that's way down the line.

SECTION THREE:
Spoiler: show
WATCHING TV IN THE LIVING ROOM
A new activity you can do in the afternoon.
15 new pages. DONE!

SECTION FOUR:
Spoiler: show
GETTING THE DIRT ON BRIDGETTE
A new activity you can do when you're alone in the evening. Requires trying to watch TV in the living room in the afternoon.
33 new pages. DONE!

SECTION FIVE:
Spoiler: show
ACTUALLY WATCHING TV
If you don't try to watch TV in the afternoon, and you haven't been instructed to smell the couch, you can actually watch TV in the living room. Three different shows you can choose from!
20 new pages. DONE!

SECTION SIX:
Spoiler: show
TEXT KARMA IN THE EVENING
You can text Karma back if she and Jade text you after the pool scene. Varies based on your relationship with Karma.
Version 1: 10 pages, DONE!
Version 2: UPDATE 2/6/26, 16 pages, DONE!
Version 3: UPDATE 2/10/26, 18 pages, DONE!
Version 4: 4 pages, DONE!

SECTION SEVEN:
Spoiler: show
TEXT JADE IN THE EVENING
You can text Jade back if she and Karma text you after the pool scene. Varies based on your relationship with Jade.
4 versions planned, estimated 40 pages. 19 pages done. 48% COMPLETE

SECTION EIGHT:
Spoiler: show
SHOWER FANTASIES AND/OR DREAMS FOR KARMA AND JADE
I want to include these as well, but I haven't started yet. MIGHT hold these off for a mini-update.
Wild guess... 40 pages total. NOT EVEN STARTED

Add that all up and I'm looking at...
@ 195 pages done
@ 61 pages to go.
@ 256 current estimated final page count
Final release should be around 250-300 new pages.
2/5/26 - 63% DONE!
2/6/26 - 65% DONE.
2/9/26 - 67% DONE.
2/10/26 - 69% DONE.
2/12/26 - 71% DONE.
3/23/26 - 76%

I'll update my progress as I go.

Hey mate, really glad to hear from you! I'm thrilled you're still working on the game, it's honestly the only one I check regularly for updates. Thanks so much for all the effort you put into it.

If you ever consider expanding on it in the future, I'd love to see more scenes with the vibrator Bridgette gives the MC after he catches her. Maybe something like him sneaking it into his room to sniff/use it while masturbating and Bridgette walking in on him or him experimenting with it on himself. Just a fun idea for later on!

Cheers, and keep up the awesome work!

FAQ: Why does it take so long to do an update?
A: Check out today's progress. I'd done 2 pages of Karma's texts, section 6v3. I thought I had 8 to go. The past few days I did 12 pages of new material on that section, mostly variations of early sections, which makes it easier... But it's still not done. I figure there's maybe 4 more pages to go? So, it can be a treadmill. This tale definitely grows in the telling (with apologies to Prof. Tolkien who'd be horrified by this entire project, no doubt),*






*Maybe not so much CS Lewis. Apparently, he was a bit of a freak.

Life got busy again, so progress slowed. I just updated the progress report above.

Close is a relative term since it depends on how much time I have to work on things. And that can vary wildly depending on my current circumstances with work and family. Also there's always the possibility of mission creep. But at 76% done, the next update is closer to finished than not at this point. I think.

Great to see this going on, and actually kinda intrigued for the new Bad Karma title.
The character I wanted to see more developed in this game :)
