Big Changes Ahead: The Future of the Game and the Arrival of "The Red Veil"

Hey everyone! With the arrival of Chapter 3.5, I wanted to take a quick break to talk about the big changes coming in Chapter 4, especially since there will be some spoilers in the 3.5 release.

As I’ve mentioned before, the game is about to go through a major transformation. Starting with the next release, it will no longer be an anthology but a single, continuous story. When I first started, I chose the anthology format because this was my first experience creating AVNs, and I knew I’d improve over time. I didn’t want huge jumps in quality between chapters or to go back and redo old content, so I started small—with short stories that gradually became longer as I gained experience.

Now, I feel like I’ve reached a good enough level to take on a bigger story. That’s why the game is evolving. From Chapter 4 onward, it will be called "The Red Veil." The "Chapter 4" release will actually be Chapter 1 of the new game.

That said, short stories aren’t disappearing entirely. I still love them—they’re great for experimenting with ideas—so I’ll continue creating them. However, moving forward, they’ll focus on the backstories of characters from the main story, especially secondary characters. Because of this, "The Tutor" with Ellie will be kept in the game, as she’ll appear later in the main storyline. As for the other two short stories, I haven’t decided yet whether to remake them with adjustments or remove them entirely.

One important note: these short stories won’t be a priority. My full focus will be on the main story, so I’ll only work on them if I have extra time. If not, they’ll come much later—probably when the main story is nearing completion.

That’s all for now! Let me know what you think about these changes, and see you next time!
