Thank you to everyone who reported issues and bugs over the last two days.

I’m am now happy enough to declare Betsy out of Beta, so the I’m labeling the newly uploaded version 1.0. You can find it here http://www.vdategames.com/betsy.html. Remember to refresh the page if you’ve visited it recently or the new version may not show. The downloaded version should say ‘betsy_1.0.zip’, and the online version should say ‘betsy3’ if you look at the URL.

All reported bugs have been corrected and lots of types fixed. This version also has the easy difficulty re-added for those who need it.

A quick summary guide for playing :

• As with most of my games, All browsers should be able to play the online version. Chrome cannot play the offline version though. I recommend using Firefox if you can.
• If you see a 404 page when playing online, this means that too many people are playing the game online at the moment. Either download a version if you can, or a wait until a little later.

EDIT : If the game is still not working for you, please specify your problem below, other wise I can’t help you!

UPDATE : A walkthrough for Betsy has now been added to the walkthroughs section.

SATURDAY UPDATE : I am on vacation until Thursday. This means, while I will try to answer email and comments, I won’t be able to do anything significant with the site until I return.

While most players had no trouble with the beta of Betsy I uploaded yesterday, about 10%couldn’t get it to work properly. The issues seem to be a combination of the new functions I started using for this game and the browsers people were using to play.

Since I’m a fan of the ‘simplest solution is normally the best one’ ideal, I’ve just decided to replace all of the new functions with the ones I regularly use for my games. If you were able to play games such as Miranda, Jennifer or Maddison, this version should work fine for you now.

I’ve updated the Betsy game page with new links, and I’ve replaced the online version. If you are playing online, the new version will have ‘betsy2’ in the the URL. If are downloading it, the zip should be named ‘betsy_0.91’.

Normal rules for my games apply. The online version should work with every browser, but you can’t use Chrome for the offline version.

Note : If you’ve visited the Betsy page recently, remember to press refresh on your browser, otherwise the old version may still appear.

Hopefully, this version should work for everyone. I’ve also corrected all the bugs that people have reported to me.

Betsy is now live and for free on the site.

If you can’t see her yet, make sure you refresh the site’s front page, or the games page (whichever one you’re looking at).

The final image count for the game is a crazy 1652 images, making it easily the largest I’ve ever made.

Due to the size of the game, I’m only releasing it as a Beta for the first 24-48 hours. I will be very surprised if there aren’t at least some bugs left in it. If there are, I will be fixing them as soon as I can.

In case you missed the relevant blog post, I have also upgraded the engine for this game. You should be able to download and play it with any browser, including Chrome.

Finally, I just want to draw attention to the fact that this is a free game. Part of my intention of releasing it as such is to see if people will be willing to join the members section as a sort of ‘donation’ instead of being forced to join it to play the latest games. If you enjoy Betsy, have the money, and want to show your gratitude, feel free to sign up.

Happy gaming!

UPDATE : Since a decent amount of people seen to be having trouble with the new engine, I’m putting together a version of the game that uses the old one. The simplest solution is normally the best one, and if you can play any of my other games, you should be able to use this version. If you’re having trouble, just wait one more day and I should have the new version online when you wake up tomorrow morning.

This should be the final post before Betsy is released.

I’m finishing everything now. It is very likely that I will have the very last image rendered before the end of the day. That means I probably won’t have have enough time to check everything before tomorrow, but it does give me Friday and the weekend to check for bugs etc.

That means that today I am officially announcing that Betsy will be available for online play and download on Monday, June 20th.

A quick summary for those who don’t regularly follow the blog : Betsy is a brand new game to the site. She will be release for free so that everyone can play the game. It is a large one too. The final game will have over 1400 images.

Here are the final set of preview images.

Two of the possible last images you can see while playing the game. Each will come with a little summary of how things will continue in the relationship after you stop playing.

One of the two epilogues takes place on the beach where the player and Betsy have a final conversation about their future. Depending on how ‘wild’ Betsy has gotten throughout the game, the conversation can go a couple of different ways.

No doubt, the epilogue everyone will be aiming for however is the one that includes the three main characters and the player having fun in the empty nightclub (Betsy’s mom owns it, and has given them the keys so that they can have a private party). You can probably guess where the scenario goes.

That’s all for now. The next blog post you see should be on Monday when I release the game.

So, what have I been doling this week?

Sex, sex and more sex! There are now hundreds of images covering the two main sex scenes, and I’m still going.

The second time the player and Betsy have sex isn’t as public as the first, but is much wilder now that the two of you are confident being naked in front of each other.

If Betsy gets the lead role in the play, the Player, Violet and Cass come to watch. If April is friends with the group, she will also join them. If everything goes well, Cass gives Betsy the keys to the nightclub so all four of you can have a fun private party.

One thing leads to another. And then another. And then another. And then…you get the idea. Nudity ensues.

The foursome at the nightclub is the final part of the game, though you will have to unlock several things through the game’s main story to experience it.

I’m still not confident I’ll finish everything before next Friday. If it does end up being the release date, I’ll probably make a blog post about it on Wednesday. If not, Monday, June 20th, seems most likely.

 

Production on Betsy is getting very near the end now. The only remaining images to render are for the epilogues.

As with Miranda, there will be an ending, but there will also be multiple epilogues that follow, in this case three. Two out of the three involve sex scenes, so I still have a respectable amount of images to make, but they’re all in the same location which should make the process a bit quicker.

A release day of Friday, June 17th looks likely, but I’m not committing to it yet, so don’t be surprised if I release it the week after.

Today however, you still get a small preview!

Betsy will have one more technical upgrade I haven’t mentioned yet. Instead of using animated GIFs, I’m going to be using image sequences instead. This should mean that the animations play better, and at a much higher quality too.

Before releasing the game, I want to make sure the javascript function I’m using works for everyone, so go ahead and download the test by clicking here.

You should see a very short preview of the game where Violet is trying to talk Betsy into playing with her breasts in public. Please let me know whether it works for you or not. It should be compatible with all browsers.

Next, more preview images.

Everything set in high school needs to have a big dance at the end of the week, and this game is no exception.

A moment from the infamous play that Betsy is trying to build up her confidence high enough to perform a topless scene in.

If you fail to build her confidence high enough, she will be forced to take a much smaller part in the play.

A high enough confidence can also turn an after school photoshoot very naughty.

The final thing to mention today is that it looks like the amount of images will be larger than I was predicting a few weeks ago. There are currently 792 images altogether. That makes it likely that the game will have around 1000 when I am done.

More images this week from the forthcoming free game, Betsy.

Betsy and the player make plans for the evening.

Betsy, Violet and the player have fun in the park.

April doesn’t appreciate you walking into the girls locker room.

A photoshoot on the last date with Betsy can take place in several different locations if her confidence is high enough.

Violet also has her own ways of boosting Betsy’s confidence.

But remember, not all endings are happy ones.

Next week, I should hopefully have a release date.

 

Not much to add this week in terms of information.

Progress on Betsy is going well. I can’t say for certain yet, but I think the game will end up being around 700-800 images.

Also, a few people have been asking what the next free game is, so in case you missed it, Betsy is the new free game. It is a completely new game for the site, and I am releasing it for free. See the last few weeks of blog posts for further details.

Rachel gives some tips on how to boost Betsy’s confidence.

When the player suggests watching porn, Betsy decides it isn’t really her thing.

April agrees to accept some help studying for her exams.

Violet and Betsy discuss who they’re taking to the prom.

Betsy finally decides she’s ready for something a little more daring.

So, what locations will be in this game?

Well, the school, obviously.

You will also be able to visit the clothes store, the pool, Cass’s nightclub, the bowling alley and Betsy’s house. All the images for these are done.

I’m nearly finished all of the date segments, which means all that will be left is the actual sex scenes. After that, I’ll just need to do the endings and I’m finished.

It should be at least a few more weeks of production though.

Now that I’ve been through all of how the game looks, I think it’s time to explain what the game is actually about.

The player has been dating Betsy for some time now, and although you’ve gotten close, you’ve never really become daring as a couple. Betsy dreams of becoming an actress and one morning, reads an advert in the newspaper that an acclaimed theater director is staying in the city, and will be holding auditions his latest play.

There’s only one problem. If Betsy gets the lead role, she is required to perform a topless scene on stage. Normally a shy, quiet, conservative girl, she doesn’t think she will be able to. That’s where her boyfriend/girlfriend/you can help.

She agrees to let you coach her, trying out as many different, daring things as she’s willing to do. As you increase her daring, a new side of her personality opens up, and things keep getting wilder.

All of this builds up to the play and whether or not she has enough confidence to audition for the lead role.

And with that, I think I’ve finally explained everything about the game that I need to.

 

See you next week for a new set of preview images.
