Development Update - 28th of June 2025

Hey everyone,

We've had a pretty productive week. Our new PCs are now settled in nicely, and Tae has been rendering stuff in the background.

I won't go into loads of detail this week about the specifics of what the team has been doing. However, everyone has done good work, from animating more to posing still images, fixing the early parts of Realm 4, and some work on ACTC as well. We have a WIP Realm 4 shot atop this post :)

Tae has been working on writing, and I have been working on "finalising" the side paths. As I mentioned previously, we have all the side paths in game; however, the coding for them isn't yet finalised, with "variables", trophies, and some final proofreading outstanding.

I've been working on this, and things are going well. I should have them finalised next week, meaning that once we light and render the side paths, and voice the animations, we can drop everything in the game and launch.

We've briefly touched on the specifics of what we will release for the Realm 3 side paths before. We've made a final decision not to release these staggered. All remaining side paths will be launched as a single, big update. And after that, the next update will be the first Realm 4 release.

Some characters have more content in the side paths for Realm 3, but as the side paths are stories that will continue through Realms 3, 4, 5, and 6, if a character has less content now, chances are they will have more later on. For example, Lilin was not originally going to have a side path. Due to popular demand, we decided to add them for her; however, given the time it has taken to organise these, we'll begin releasing her side paths in Realm 4, rather than Realm 3, so as not to lose momentum and get Realm 4 out ASAP.

To give you total transparency, alongside the currently released side paths (Gina 1, Kagome 1 and Yuki 1), the remaining Realm 3 side paths are:

Continuations:

• Gina 2 (like with part one, she will have two completely different variations, depending on which faction you sided with in Realm 2).

• Kagome 2

• Yuki 2

New Ones:

• Kali 1

• Leyala 1 & 2

• Mei & Ling Guo 1

• Naya 1 & 2

• Seraphina 1

• Tasha 1 & 2

• Zyair 1

There are approximately 1,350 new renders in total between these side paths, and some new NSFW scenes.

We hope that once our art director, Shoe_Lac3, is fully working on the side paths, we will be able to produce these at a decent pace. With the many issues we've faced during the Blender move, we may encounter some unforeseen hurdles; however, at the moment, we feel pretty confident that the side paths themselves should proceed smoothly.

As always, thank you so much for your continued support and patience. We appreciate you greatly!

Have an amazing weekend, and speak again soon!
