Development Update - 19th of October

Hey everyone!

Progress is ticking along this week.

Realm 3 Finale

The animations have been taking longer than we'd initially planned. These are action animations related to one of the paths you can choose towards the end of the Realm.

The animations are bigger than any we've included in the game before and take place in a large environment. In addition to the lighting and camera work, we've also needed to optimise the environments further to ensure they look as we want them to.

So overall, here's what we have left:

• We still have a few of the action animations to complete.

• Then, we have NSFW animations. The finale will have three lewd scenes, so there will also be several lewd animations in the update. We'll then need to add sounds to them.

• We have one more scene of still images that need to be lit and rendered.

• I still need to finalise the coding and add a couple more trophies towards the end of the update.

I'll be working on the coding part myself, and I'll be able to complete it over the next few days.

The outstanding tasks for the animations and still images are all handled by the same team member, so he has a lot of work ahead of him. If we can still release this month, it will likely be in the last couple of days of October.

We can't promise that this Patreon release will be in October; however, we are still pushing hard for it. If it doesn't end up being October, it will be early November.

After the Patreon release, it will be on to the Steam release. We've not officially announced the Steam release date, but between us, we plan to release it on November 19th.

We still need to complete the translations for Steam - our translators are currently working on them.

Steam

Speaking of Steam, we recently launched our Realm 3 demo. While you've probably already played the game here, you can check it out over there and add the game to your wishlist if you feel so inclined :)

The demo will allow you to test out the new recap/save simulation we've added to the game!

Realm 4

You may have noticed that it's only myself and one other team member actively working on the Realm 3 finale.

For Tae and our animator, their work on Realm 3's main story is complete. Tae still needs to finalise a couple of the side paths, but most of the side path animations have already been animated by our animator.

Over the last few days, Tae has been working on the script for Realm 4. Although she had already written large portions of it, she's now reviewing everything completely and has already made good progress. I've read the opening update, and I'm very excited about what we have planned in Realm 4!

We will reveal more about Realm 4 after we've finalised Realm 3. We hope you're looking forward to it as much as we are!

Have a great weekend, everyone. Thanks for your support, as always!
