Awoo!
It's a pleasure for us to finally announce that the release date of A Demon Within Shelter, the special collaboration side story between Shelter and Demons Within, will be released on Patreon on...
next Friday, August 22nd!
This release will happen simultaneously between Shelter and Demons Within! As specified before and explained in the promo image, you will need to progress through this story on BOTH games to progress!
On release, we'll have the prologue on both sides and Chapter 1 on the Demons Within side for a total of three entire installments of the story playable right away! Playing the Prologue story on both games will be required to be able to continue Chapter 1 in Demons Within. It's also important to notice that, though the prologues are mild and story-focused, the first and subsequent chapters are quite spicy, saucy, and knotty...
I've already written Chapter 2 (Shelter's side), and I'm looking forward to sharing it with you after I finish the next regular Shelter update v46!
Your progress between the stories will be saved between games on the device you play them on! (e.g., After you play the Prologue in Shelter, your progress will be counted and seen inside Demons Within as well, and vice-versa)
Though both Shelter and Demons Within will continue prioritizing their regular story updates and releases, expect the next chapters of this side story to come out as a bonus between them as well! It's a relatively short story, but we hope it's going to be a fun introduction and twist to both games in the most fun of ways!
There are a few things left to polish and work on, but we're almost there and confident enough to give this release date! It's coming soon!
If you somehow haven't checked out Demons Within yet, now is the best time to do so and be prepared for the awesomeness!
Get ready and awoo!
Your Dog,
Raus Vuffski

Oh, it's one of Renpy's in-built functions, "multigame persistence". It's usually used for keeping progress across a series of games, but there's no reason not to use it for a crossover like this :D I think it's gonna feel pretty cool to unlock the stuff between the two games <3

2025-08-15 22:04:05 +0000 UTCI'm honestly impressed that you two have found a way to make RenPy VNs interact like this. Not just a crossover of shared characters but the game saves actually interacting. Wish I knew enough RenPy to figure out how you might have done it.
