Status update - Episode 4

Hey all,

Hope you're having a good weekend!

In the meantime I've been working hard on the next episode. On the one hand I feel like I've gotten a lot done, on the other hand I know that there's still a ton of work to be done. 😅 Right now I'm at around 900+ renders and 48+ animations, with more getting made each and every day.

I'm doing my best to make it a fun episode. So far I'm very happy with the scenes I've completed and I still have a bunch of interesting scenes in m...

Milestone: 100 Steam reviews!

Hey guys!

We've reached a really cool milestone of 100 Steam reviews! As a first time dev it's really inspiring to receive so much positive (and constructive) feedback. The reviews truly help, they allow potential players to make an informed decision and they provide me with insight into what you guys like and what needs improving.

I'm currently doing my best to create even better content for you all to enjoy. But, I also wanted to celebrate this awesome milestone! So, here's yo...

Status update - Episode 4

Hey everyone,

I've been making some steady progress on episode 4; making more animations and renders, writing out dialogue, coding everything, and adding music & sound effects.

Right now the episode has about 600+ renders and 28+ animations done, with the writing, code and audio also in place for these scenes.

Additionally, I have added language support for Brazilian Portuguese...

Status update - Episode 4

Hey guys, here with another update for episode 4 of Having a HARD Time.

I have been pretty busy lately with work and life, but I have still been steadily progressing on content for episode 4. Most of the work has gone towards animating. Currently there are about 350+ renders and 20+ animations done, along with most of the writing, audio and coding for these scenes.

Still a long way to go though, but it'll be worth it.

Have a nice weekend!

Status update - Episode 4

Hey everyone, 

Hope you're all having a good weekend, and here's the first status update for episode 4 of Having a HARD Time.

I've been busy laying the groundwork for the episode, mostly writing out scenes and figuring out the flow of the episode. I've also been rendering the start of the episode, currently I've got around 200+ renders and 3+ animations done, and I'm actively working on more.

I think you can expect a similar size to episode 3, once it's all done.

...

Onwards to Episode 4!

Hey everyone,

It's been about a month since Episode 3 was released, and around a week and a half since the game came out on Steam. I'm really happy that both Episode 3 and the Steam release have generally been received quite positively. It has taken some hard work to get there, but I consider it quite a nice milestone. Regardless, I'm happy to have it behind me now, so that I can fully focus on Episode 4.

Hey all, the release of episode 3 is getting closer by the day, there's still work to be done, but it won't be much longer. This will be the final status update for episode 3.

I've been working hard on this final scene for the past few weeks, including the holidays. Episode 3 currently has around 1700+ renders and 60+ animations. As you can probably tell, my pc has been rendering animations non-stop for quite a while now. And there's still more in the queue... In the meantime I'm workin...

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you're all doing well and enjoying the holidays. Here are a few images to make this an even better holiday! Outside of the 3 images of my own I have included a bunch of Christmas cards from some of my fellow AVN developers who wish to spread the love.

Thank you for all the support and love this past year! It's been both amazing and inspiring to see so much interest in something I created. Also, thanks for being so patient, it won't be much longer for the n...

Status update - Episode 3

Hey guys, lots of progress has been made over the past few weeks. Currently episode 3 is at around 1600+ renders and 40+ animations. Which is more than either of the previous episodes.

This final scene has really been pushing my hardware to its limits, sometimes unfortunately going beyond its capabilities and me having to find a way to solve it 😅

Anyways, I'm still working on this scene so you can expect even more content once it releases. I'm aiming for a release mid-late Janu...

Status update - Episode 3

Heya, here with another status update for episode 3.

Things are progressing nicely and I got a lot of renders done recently. Right now we're at approximately 1100+ renders and 31+ animations.

A large portion of the main story is already done and right now I'm finishing up the third stage of the weekend scenes. Soon I'll be starting work on a rather large scene, one which is planned to have a lot of animations as well and is going to take a decent chunk of time. Release is still es...

Here's a little freebie with some of our favorite characters (in 4k) ^^

Just want to say that I really appreciate everyone's support and patience! Developing a game on your own takes a lot of time and effort, but knowing that so many people can find joy in it makes it all worthwhile <3

Status update - Episode 3

Hey all, I think it's good to know that episode 3 is coming along nicely.

I just finished up a hectic and fun scene. I think the episode has a decent amount of content by now, but there's still a lot more to come. Right now we're at approximately 750+ renders and 22+ animations. Considering what's still to come, I believe this will be the biggest episode yet.

I'm doing my best to get it all done before the end of the year, but I think a more realistic timeframe will be somewhere i...

I'm back

Hey guys, just got back last night from my 3-week holiday.

Still a bit jet lagged, but I'll start picking up the work from where I left off as there's still a ways to go. I'm kind of excited to get back to it though, as I really like how the third episode is shaping up so far.

Anyways, just wanted to let you guys know I'm back and will be working on episode 3 again.

Have a nice day!

Status update - Episode 3

Heya, as promised, here's one more status update before I leave on vacation.

It's been a pretty hot summer thus far, especially with my pc rendering and heating the place almost 24/7 :D But, thanks to that, episode 3 is really coming along nicely. As for the numbers, we're at 550+ renders and 15+ animations at the moment, with, as always, the writing/coding/sound/music etc. for these scenes pretty much done.

Additionally, I have added language support for Italian, Russian and Span...
