Update News #41 - Stuff! Lots of Stuff!

Woah! It's been a while but here's what I've been up to. ENOUGH TALK, let's get on with it.

1. The large background is almost done, just some finishing touches left. So yay!

2. I've added some quality of life things like a quick access to the codex by clicking on keywords in the dialogue. There should also be an option to skip most of the splash screen to get to the game menu faster from startup.

3. As for game features, you...

This is just a quick update. For Patreon only supporters, note that now the Patreon Bot on the Discord server has permissions to kick members.

I'm not fully sure about how it'll work, but if you do get kicked out of the server at the end of your supporter period. You can DM me on Discord (or here on Patreon).

I'll get you back in right away. No worries.

New PC and Status Updates

Heya!
My workstation is back up and running again, with new hardware and everything! So I can't wait to get back to working on TS related stuff again!

I'm also currently working as an artist doing commissions for income, so there's that as well. It shouldn't affect much of the schedule, I don't think.

One of our team members is currently busy moving homes to another state, so it'll be a few weeks till that's done. 

In any case, expect a devlog or an update post soon...

Status Update - Shyt Happened.

Just a quick overdue update here in case you're not on the Discord to see my messages.

A few days ago, a heavy thunderstorm hit my area, and a power surge took out my entire PC. The PC is fried. It's dead.

Don't worry though, all the work data is stored in an external hard drive.

So it's time to change my PC (even though I've just replaced some parts earlier last year).

It'll take a while for me to go hunt down parts and build the ne...

Update News #35 - Version 4.0 and what to expect!

Signs of life! Yes, we are still working on the game! It's just that things have been tough and there's some IRL circumstances that made it even more difficult finding time to work on this. That being said, let's get on with it! 

What's coming in v4.0 

Changes and improvements to the UI
- Brand new new quick menu interface is finished and implemented! This is a highly requested feature, so I'm glad to be able to make it work the way I wanted it to! View Post

Sneak Peek of the Week! #63

Final polishing pass for the next piece of art for v4.0...

There are more some changes I would like to make, but I'm putting those off for the future, if I ever want to return to this one to work on it.

Now all of the artwork for v4.0 is complete (about dang time!).

Believe it or not, the Hard Drive is dying

Sorry! No progress updates for now (or I'll be posting em later this week, when I can).

The hard drive that I'm using in my PC right now is faulty (maybe dying) and it's causing a lot of bluescreen of deaths whenever I try to save or compile files. 

That's what I get for using almost decade old hardware I guess...

Good news though, I've already got a replacement 2TB drive. Now I'm just waiting for everything to copy over and stuff.

Back up and Running Again!

Everything's back to normal again! Stuff seems to be running just fine now, after a day or so of testing and monitoring.

I'll be pushing to get the next update out as soon as I can, as it's been a long time coming (so sorry about that).

Of course, the weekly progress/sneak peeks will be continuing after this week. 

Thanks for your patience, again!

Update on the current PC status

Hey everyone! It's been a week since my PC broke down. 

I had it sent to be diagnosed and found that my processor has failed. I needed to replace the CPU and the motherboard, so I went searching for parts that I can afford.

This is what I'll be getting, soon:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 3300X
Motherboard: Asus PRIME A320M-K

The rest can be salvaged from my old PC and used as is, thankfully.

Unfortunately, it'll take a while for the parts to ship, but hopefully I'll be...

An Announcement and a Heads-up

Hey everyone, this post is a little different from the weekly progress related posts, but it's important.

You may already have known about this if you're in the discord, but my computer has broken down. It is out of commission. I was working on the stuff earlier in the day, it just went *blip* and died.

Thankfully, I always work off of an external hard drive, so there's zero chance of any sort of project data/progress/work loss.

I just need to get a new workstation and have ...

Update News #34 - Some Stuff We Been Up to Recently

It's been a while, sorry for the relative silence!

We've been working on/experimenting with the minigame mechanics, as lightly discussed in the last Update News post.

Thanks to all the testers in our Discord server for giving feedback but unfortunately we decided to shelve the feature, for now. The minigame itself doesn't work as well as we initially thought, even after weeks of adjustment it's still not as fun as we thought. 

If its not fun, then the game is better off...

This is a minigame/game mode where you get to touch and feel up the characters!

You have to be careful and think carefully where and how to touch. Touch them in the wrong way and you'll suffer the ...

Update News #32

Time for another update news! It's been a while since the last update post, so here's another! Yes, we are working on the next update, surely but slowly!

A lot of progress has been made but there are still a lot more to go! For the most part it's character design/asset related work left to be completed. While the background art takes the longest to make, character design definitely takes the cake when it comes to the amount of overall work needed.

There's nothing really important ...
