Development Update - 19th of July 2025 + ACTC Previews
Added 2025-07-19 09:30:02 +0000 UTCHey everybody,
This week, we continued working on the same tasks for TSR. We've animated a couple more Realm 4 animations and finalised some of the earlier scenes' poses (still no lighting/camera work yet).
I'm still working on coding and finalising the side paths - it's taken me longer than I anticipated. Fortunately, this isn't holding them up, as we're still waiting on the lighting of the stills and animations for the side paths. Our art director, Shoe_Lac3, was working on several things, including general improvements for both TSR and ACTC. We've finished the lighting, rendering and post work for the images and animations for ACTC Episode 1 (excluding a few images we need to make minor corrections to). I'm happy to say that we'll definitely start on lighting the side paths this month!
Our Turkish translator has also finished the translations for Realms 1-3, so we will launch this new translation when we release the upcoming side paths update!
Our primary focus will now be on proceeding as efficiently as possible with the lighting for TSR to finally release some new chapters. After that, we will begin releasing more information about ACTC and aim to set a release date for the first episode.
For now, we've shared a few of the finalised preview images for ACTC at the top of this post. We've put a lot of work into improving the graphics as a team compared to what we've done previously, so we hope you like them!
Let us know if you have any questions. Thank you so much for your ongoing support. We hope you all have a lovely weekend!

2025-07-20 06:50:39 +0000 UTCLooking forward to it, Jay! Thanks for the update! Keep on keeping on, Sept Team ๐!!! ALWAYS EXCITED AND EAGERLY WAITING FOR YOUR WORK ๐๐ป๐ฅ!!! Love and appreciate you all ๐, your ladies ๐ฅฐ, and your games ๐! Take your time with it. Release both game whenever ๐. Due to events over the week, I don't have a laptop to play my AVNs ๐ . ACTC LOOKS SO GOOD!!! Wei Liu, my brother, play it all for the both of us when it comes out ๐ญ! Whether you're still dealing with the Summer ๐๐๐๐ฅ (it's random for me now ๐คฃ) or in the Cold Winter ๐ฅถโโ๐ง (my Southern Hemisphere people). Always stay hydrated, everyone. Stay safe, stay blessed, and in PERFECT health, beautiful people! Have an amazing and beautiful week! I'll catch you allโON THE NEXT ONE โ๐ป๐!!! Here's how my week went if you're interested. It was a very unfortunate week for me. Long; you don't have to read if you don't want to ๐ . My old phone (a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5) broke on Sunday because of the touch screen (figures, ZFlips ๐ฎโ๐จ). Repairing it would have cost $550, so I bought a new phone on Wed. But then my laptop (an Alienware R13 R3), which I play my AVNs on, broke on Tues. I was using the laptop at work and mispositioned a cup of water, and it spilled all over my laptop (I had the slowest process/reaction in the world to it ๐ ). So, now, I can't even play my AVNs anymore. I was in the middle of playing my Law School playthrough ๐ญ. I already spent all my monthly earnings on the phone (I plan my spending in advance; you kind of have to when you're supporting many Devs like I am ๐). And now the laptop is going to have to wait. I'm guessing a month or two at best before I can play AVNs again. Of course, I was sad when it happened (that laptop was my world, my everything ๐ญ), but nothing I could do about it now. So, let's focus that energy elsewhere, focus on what I still have, and look forward to what's coming ๐. It's going to be hard quitting cold turkey for a while. I'm missing my AVNs HARD. The AVN's withdrawals IS STRONG! BUT, it will only make me more excited and hurry to get a new gaming laptop so I can get back into it when my Devs release their respective games (and continue on my never-ending backlog ๐ ). My Devs posts definitely help make my life happier and make my days brighter and better ๐. They'll keep me going strong in the meantime ๐ช๐ป. Maybeโฆ it was time to upgrade the laptop anyway (trying to find some positive in all this ๐คฃ). "Nice try, Life. But, you can't ruin my positive energy, vibes, and outlook ๐!" Also, not all was lost ๐. I put all my AVNs on an external HD and play from it. I just need a laptop or PC to access it. But... my family doesn't really have another laptop or PC ๐ . We have consoles, phones, and tablets ๐คฃ. I did lose all my renders I collected throughout the years that were stored on my laptop. Hopefully the laptop's HD still works so I can recover them. The only thing I'm worried about is my Devs releasing their games during this "no-laptop period." "I WANT TO PLAY TOO ๐ !" The wait during this period is going to be INSANE! Thanks for listening and reading (if you did).
