Checking In

**Edit**:
Getting there but encountered some big hiccups in the UI and the Respite loop (not another time loop; I just mean the gameplay cycle). On the upside, someone helped me code some extra LB content I thought I was have to push back.

Once again I will share a semi-public Playtest (ie. to ya'll / some Discord peeps) as soon as it's at least vaguely playable with a fully polished released this coming week.

Falling Ranger+ 1.0.5

Hi everyone and happy (lunar) New Year. Please find the link to Falling Ranger below. My previous post contains a lot of my philosophy/hopes about the game, so I hope it delivers on some of that and you all enjoy!

There is also a scene guide and readme will some additional information included in the archive.

Happy Holidays + New Year

Hi everyone. I wasn't sure I should make a post and bait people on New Year's Eve (there is no release in this post), but I figure most of you keep up with me on Discord anyway.

Obviously I didn't release as much this year as I hoped, although it was productive in other ways which will bear lots of (lewd) fruit soon and all throughout 2023. I've taken care of some health issues and improved my workspace a lot. I have no idea how I functioned with only one monitor (I gu...

August Progress Report

Hi everyone,

I wanted to give a progress report so there's no radio silence in case I can't finish the "Respite" update this month, although I am still trying to do so. That said I won't provide any dates I'm not fully confident about.

7F "Respite" - Almost finished, hoping to send to testers within the next day or two. Respite contains many new scenes with Kaori (some with new CG, others with re-contextualized Trial or Combat CG), the Kitchen storyline in her Tri...

7F in Testing

Edit 7/8
- Many bugs have been squashed, including two large sections that turned out extremely tangly. Some Playtesters have also recently reached the end of the floor. There is one more major tangly spot still in the center of the floor, but everything else is going pretty smooth now. Eta. a few days

- Stats: the floor is over 100k words and has ~18 endings. I was worried I was hallucinating the scope and people would blow through it instantly bu...

WG 1.1 / March Progress Report

Edit: April 29 - I'm still working on the 7F Playtest. Full announcement/report to come when it's done.

Edit: WG 1.1.6, fixing more bugs, is available in the link below.

Hi everyone. The work to furnish a playable 7F build continues, unfortunately with many snares, but the final section and connective tissues are getting there.

Meanwhile, Bo has made an excellent update Warrior Guild, where 1.1.4 is now available below. While he did borrow me to write the ...

Feb/7F Progress Report

Hi everyone.

Just wanted to give a quick progress report to say the 7F debugging is almost complete and I hope to have a fully playable build soon. As per the Discord dev-journal updates, 2 of 13 sections for the final roundup remain.

I was hoping to achieve more dramatic news but I don't want silence either. Thanks as always for your patience and support.

As before, since 7F is not released, payments of my personal Patreon (this) will be suspended for the next month.

Jan/7F Progress Report

Hi everyone,

The work on 7F continues. I can't believe it's taken another month after being "finally, finally nearly over," but here we are. Fortunately, I was finally able to send Bo a partial playtest, and although many bugs were found, it's great to finally feel a playable build materializing.

I'll resume posting more granular updates in the Discord #dev-journal.

Thanks as always for your patience and support. I will edit in Bo's pixiv game or other updates when/if he ...

Dec Progress Report

Hi everyone,

7F progress continues (and is finally, finally nearly over), but I wanted to share a few scenes just so folks don't have a completely Kaori-less holiday. Obviously I would have very much liked to be Santa and drop 7F on Xmas or something but I couldn't make it.

I'm not sure when Bowei is releasing his own progress report or an update to his Chinese pixiv game, but I'll edit those into this post if/when they occur.

Edit: Bowei has updated his pi...

Nov Progress Report

Bowei has posted a 9F/Karen II progress report on patreon (https://www.patreon.com/posts/progress-report-59040000) and updated his pixiv (https://bowei.fanbox.cc/) minigame. As a reminder, his Pixiv builds are Chinese Language only.

I am still working hard on 7F and will continue until it's complete. I know ever...

October Progress Report

Hi everyone. Work continues on 7F, though obviously my hopes for it being complete "not too deep into October" have been dashed and replaced with the same goal for November.

Just as I paused Patreon for October because I failed to deliver in September, I am also pausing payments for November. This means none of you should get charged for November (if you are, just DM me and I'll  refund it), but will still have access to the release, etc.

I am happy that I'm not hitting road...

7F Delayed

Hi everyone,

Unfortunately 7F is delayed to October.

Since I know many of you joined my Patreon out of excitement for a September release, I am pausing Patreon for October. This should mean none of you get charged for October (if you are, just DM me and I'll refund it), but will still have access to the release, etc.

Although September has been very productive and a big improvement on my previous working environment, I believe the scale of 7F requires at least a week even...

September Progress Report

Hi everyone,

The 8F patch is released, fixing various bugs and adding some final polish. This ate more time than I was hoping but at least saves me from having to those things later when I implement 8F into the main game. If you wanted to try the Standalone but haven't yet, now would be the time. If you already played it I don't think it's essential to revisit for the current added content, though.

The more important progress is of course on 7F, which I'm still ...

August Progress Report

Hi everyone, just reporting in.

Work has been continuing well on 7F and I'm confident in a September release. I can't think of anything fancy to say about it, just that I'm excited to finally show it off.  Bowei is working on 9F (Karen II) and some other stuff, among which is a Chinese and Pixiv-exclusive game. I've prepared a quick English version (titled "Hero Under Heel") of the first release and added an ending to help it stand alone, although I believe Bo intends to continue ...

8F Standalone 1.0.3.6

1.0.3.6 Edit (RTX On!): Fixes game hanging/locking during animations and adds animation to (sitting) Bath battle. Hopefully all animation issues are finally solved!

7F/June Progress Report

Hi everyone,

Just checking in about what I did in June, which was further grinding away at 7F (Kaori) and continuing to polish Bo's screenplay for 8F (Iris). The core of 7F is mostly working at this point, and most of what's left is refining various old scenes I skipped in favor of deepening the floor/systems.

There is also still a good bit of work to do on the post-game, but I'm putting that last as it's something that can be plausibly trimmed to hopefully ensure a pre-8F (ie. ...

May Progress Report

Hi everyone,

Per the previous report, I have multiple stuck projects that progressing slowly in part because I keep switching between them. After consideration, I've decided to first focus on finally finishing 7F in ToT.

Aside from being a large floor that everyone has been waiting on for a long time, it's very important to me that it's finished before 8F.

This month I've finally migrated it to the current project file, fixing related bugs (database mismatches, deprecated s...

Heelfall Golden "(v1.5)"

Edit (v1.5): This should be the final version of Heelfall and the one I just sent to Dlsite. It contains some additional fixes, makes promotion less confusing, and adds the CN and JP Tutorials if you were waiting for those. Thanks for everyone's thorough bug reports and hope you enjoyed Heelfall!

Hi everyone.

The Heelfall "patch" is finally finished, though it ended up being more of a full overhaul and expansion (2.0 would be more accurate),

As a result, pl...

Mar Progress Report

Hi everyone,

Progress Report (4/24): I've sent out the Heelfall Playtest and hope to release within a few days based on its stability and playtester feedback. Thanks for your patience! Given the scale of the changes, I am also recommending everyone play the version on a New Game.

Just wanted to give a progress report. Hope you have all enjoyed Heelfall's initial release.

Currently I am working on the Heelfall patch. It contains both bug and balance fixes, a...

Heelfall v1.0

Hi everyone, here is the first version of Heelfall. It may still have some bugs but should be mostly stable. Please feel free to report anything.

I will be adding some additional content (namely the Epilogue) by the end of the month. Unfortunately, SRPG Studio does not allow you to "import" maps like VX Ace, so I couldn't implement this while Bo was completing the main game. However, since it's at the end (duh),  we figure everyone can enjoy the current version now.
