ToML-0.09.10 PC/Mac/Android

- Ann's branch hotfix.

- If you returned home to Ann in the end of 0.85 update, use your earlier saves.

New events with Helga and Ann. This is the last update before their stories are over. You can also meet one old character who has received some new content. The next update (0.95) will be about Helena and Alanna and it will be their last update. The 1.0 update will be the final version which will finish all branches. As I've already said, the 0.9 update contains 330 new renders, 10 ani...

Date of 0.9 update release.

The writing and rendering part is done. Coding is ready as well, we just got to look for bugs. Translation is still in progress. There is a couple of events which were written and implemented a few days back.  Release should be in two days for 20$+ tier, but I can't promise anything. If everything goes well and there'll be no problems, we will release the game for next tiers.  

And while you're waiting for the update, take a look at this render from the 0.95 update which is already i...

How good can you see what's on this render?

On many monitors dark renders are barely visible. Should I make it brighter for night scenes or it's okay?

A question.

I was thinking and finally decided that I need to invest money into a GPU after all. I think I'll buy it at the end of November or mid-December. I've been saving money for this, but if I buy a GPU it will mean that there won't be enough money for other planned things. I upgraded my PC this summer and recently I bought some new parts too. In a month and a half I'll buy a 1000$ GPU. That means we won't have enough money for interface. As for soundtrack, we will be able to buy some but not as much ...

Development news 0.9.

So, Helga's branch is all ready. Ann's branch and side quests are left. I mean the coding , I've done my part. The text  is as big as it was planned and as for the art, I even overdid it a little. For example, last update had 225 renders and 7 animations, whereas now it's 330 renders and 10 animations. As for the update itself, Helga's branch is a little smaller than Ann's, but I like Helga's events more in terms of the quality. When I was working on Ann's events, that was when I got sick a...

Not much left to do, I think I'll send files for coding tomorrow. Meanwhile, I'll keep working, planning to add about 1-1,5k of words more. There are a lot of renders already about 270. I still need to make 20-30 more.

What do you like/dislike in our game?

I'm working on the hardest part of any game, I'm writing the ending. It's a really hard thing to do, that's why many authors choose not to finish their games. Chances are that you will just ruin a game or book which isn't so bad at all, a poorly-written ending can easily do that to your product. That of course will have a negative impact on your reputation. So, while I'm working , you can leave your feedback in comments. I prefer communicating with my audience in here, because you guys motivate ...

Update 0.9 Development news.

At the moment 176 renders and 9 animated scenes are ready. It is about 60-70% of the planned content. All that's left to do is a second day of the update. Besides Ann and Helga, another old character will appear in this update. Her only purpose is to connect the main storylines. There will be sex content with her.

 I've decided to buy 16gb of RAM more since it's hard to work with just 16gb. It constantly freezes and crashes. I hope this purchase will solve this problem. 

I hope...

News about the next project.

The development of our new game is well under way. As we've already said, it's going to be a game with a story in an open world. You can either follow the main story or try your luck with side quests. What we plan to add:  

- A number of locations to which MC will be able to freely travel (half of them will be implemented after the release to make the game world look even better);  

- Storylines similar to those in ToML in terms of quality (maybe even better); 

- Gal...

Development news 0.9.

I want to apologize for such a long silence. I have experienced some medical issues and I had to visit a number of doctors, even though I didn't really have time for that. At the moment, 135 renders, 7 animations and 7k of words are ready. The 0.9 update will be the penultimate update devoted to Ann and Helga. You'll see endings of their branches in the 1.0 update. What you'll see in the end will depend on the choices you make throughout the game (at least I'll try to make it work this way :) )....

"Twists of My Life" 0.85.07 Ren'Py PC/Linux/MAC/Android

The 0.85 consists of 225 renders, 7 animations and about 10k words. 

This update has expanded story of basically all characters. It will end storylines of Irene and Thea. Helena, Helga and Alanna's stories will be expanded. There are also events with Ann but they use old renders.

What endings would you like to see in the game?

Now when we're running final tests and are about to be done with the coding, I'd like to ask you what endings would you like to see in the game. I trust you understand that endings with pregnancy/marriages won't be for all characters, because it's just boring. It will be with some characters though and I've decided it long ago. Anyway, I always listen to what you have to say and sometimes I even implement your ideas into the game. There's no sense in creating a poll, there are way too many optio...

Development news.

My part of job on 0.9 is finished and I sent the files to our coder. Meanwhile, I have started working on next update. The 0.9 has turned out to be bigger than usual. It all strongly depends on the situation, sometimes it's easy to write new events and sometimes you can't come up with something worthy of adding in the game for a long time. I had similar problem with Alanna's event, which at the end of the day isn't as good as I depicted it in my head. There were a couple of technical problems an...

News about the next project.

We keep working on our next game, slowly but steadily. We've faced some problems and some of them have been resolved via temporary solutions. Half of the ideas were left behind in order to make things more simple. At the moment, we're not ready to implement those ideas. For instance, we'll keep working in 1280*720 resolution. 

I also want to make clear that ToML is our main project and most of our efforts are put into it. I don't know how many more updates of ToML there's going to be, so ...

Release of the next version is not that far away, but this time it might be released a week later than usual, around 7 September ± 3 days. This update is going to be big. At the moment, there are 9k words and there's still one event which isn't ready yet. 179 renders and 7 animated scenes are ready as well. Also, I keep working on the new project but not without difficulties. All in all, the work is progressing and we're doing it as quick as my PC allows it. In the upcoming update you'll see Al...

Should I use this filter more often?

 There are two images in front of you, the top one was rendered in 40 minutes and lower one was done in 10 minutes. The lower one was rendered with a special filter in DAZ, it allows me to greatly increase the speed of rendering, but the picture is less detailed (e.g. look at the details of Alannah’s skin). This could be used on some general renders and speed up the whole process. This filter will ne...

Check out my friends over at Great Chicken Studio!

I followed their creativity even before I started developing games for myself. They are one of the few authors whose work I liked. I enjoyed playing "Manuscript" and "Strange Sister". Now they make "Wands and Witches". If someone wanted to find out what the Hermione is hiding under her Hogwarts uniform, this game is for you. But seriously, I advise you to play it. This is a good game, based on the famous universe. Well-written text, vivid art. I personally liked it. Good games are rare, and good...

At the moment 120 renders, 4 animations and 4k words are ready. We're planning to expand Alanna, Irene, Ann and Thea's branches. Not every girl will get sex content. There will be a logical continuation of the 0.8 update.  It's possible that the upcoming update will include Helga as well, and even though that's not for sure, I will do my best. Release of the update is planned to be in the beginning of September.

Publishing renders from upcoming updates.

As you might have noticed, I don't like sharing renders from upcoming updates, because I don't want to ruin the surprise, but sometimes I find myself in a situation when all renders are spoilers, so maybe I should publish those with #spoiler. Those who would want to see it, will have a chance to do so, and if you aren't interested, you can always just ignore it. Then again, I will try not to release renders that contain big spoilers, but this would give me more options what to publish. However, ...
