V0.1 progress update #2 (Last before update)

Woaw... what a week. Glad that winter is finally over.

Anyway I still managed to work everyday no exceptions even if very late and less than usual. So this is the last news before the update drops. I will really try and push it hard for 03/31 but if not then the first days of next month is plenty enough to wrap it up.

this update is a little bigger than the last one in terms of renders and interactions, That's a win especially with this nightmarish last week.

for the 7 days ...

Animation tests

I have to admit I went a bit crazy last night.

Collisions and geometry sub-divisions is not something I'm comfortable with yet, especially when fingers are involved. But hey, that turned out pretty good, I was expecting a mess.

There is indeed small adjustments and lighting is getting weird on this one. Easily fixed but It's interesting to try this kind of stuff for future scenes when it makes sense.

That's also a preview I guess :D

Oh wait... first goal rea...

Previews #1

V0.1 Progress Update

Hi guys, my first progress update !

I just finished writing 3 scenes and rendering is almost done. The first dungeon and fighting scenes development is coming pretty soon, very exciting.

Great news is, the storyboard for the entire VN is cleared so no writing wall for the foreseeable future. I had to find a way to make monster sex possible without falling into a frowned upon kind of interaction if you know what I mean. Came upon a good idea thanks to our Juno's shapeshifting abili...

Sixth and Last Character Reveal: Cpt. Beatrix

This character is very dear to me, weeks of small tweaks for that never-ending search for perfection.

She will arrive a bit later in the story. I am making it so because by the time she joins the team, relationships will already be set for some time and that is something she doesn't give a damn about. If you ever think, over the course of events that our protagonist is too forward or lusty (she isn't meant to be the demo was an exception).

Well... buckle up.

There is no cont...

Fifth Character Reveal: Juno

This is Juno, the assassin shapeshifter.

She has been tasked to track down and capture our young wizard for reasons she doesn't know herself. She's not the kind to ask questions concerning contracts.

She is vicious, cunning and has a bad habit of mixing pleasure and business. This is the "stealthy rouge" element of the team.

Her shapeshifting abilities is promising some interesting and unique late-night scenes if you so choose...

This is it for Juno, Au revoir ! And th...

Fourth Character Reveal: *Even the name is a spoiler*

This character is very special...

His name is Daz the fourth and his little assistant Squeek.

heavily meta, he is a sort of neutral deity above all others living in an inaccessible pocket dimension. Nobody knows him in this universe but he knows and watch over everything and everyone and is perfectly aware of his virtual existence.

This is the embodiment of my will and my only connection to the lore.

I need this character and his librar...

The Path Demo

Here it is, a playable demo of my game !

I've put a lot of work in this and there is still more to come. I used this demo to stress my setup, see what limitations and challenges may lie ahead of me and apply what I've learned for the last 3 months. Biggest challenge for me will be to upgrade the graphics for the upcoming releases without adding too much development time and file size.

This game is all me, I am committing my body and soul to this and I really hope you'll enjoy...

Third character reveal: Sigmund

This is Sigmund, the apprentice mage

He will literally fall in our heroine's way (you'll see what I mean) pretty early in the game. He is clumsy, seems very incompetent and light-headed at first glance but he is also loyal to the end when it is earned. Won't go into too much spoilers for this one but there will be secrets and mystery around his origins and true potential.

You can guess the heavy shonen inspiration for this character, it's obvious. I needed a kind of male secondary...

Second character reveal: Nash

This is Nash, the first character our heroine meets on her path. He has a very simple personality, nothing is complicated for him. All problems can be resolved with brute force but that doesn't mean he's violent. 

On the contrary, I wanted to break the Orc cliche we had for so long and add more depths to their way of thinking and culture. They may not be as refined as elves or humans but they seem closer to the primordial truth about the world they live in, having no religion or sp...

Main character reveal: Svana

This is Svana, the barbarian warrior.

Svana is an aspiring adventurer and glory-seeker but she never managed to find worth much until now. She is a bit down on her luck when the story begins but that will quickly change as the adventure unfolds and fateful encounters happen.

Fearless, brave, funny and light-hearted would be a good description of her character. She is also very open-minded and direct in expressing her feelings and desires combined with a fair degree of naivete will...

Hello everyone !

Hi and welcome to my Patreon page, I am LeFrench.

I have been a Visual novel fan for a very long time and one night (October 29th to be exact) I decided to download Daz by curiosity. I gotta say I fell into a rabbit hole of creativity and expression. Haven't been able to stop rendering until today.

So I am very excited to present you my game "The Path".

The dev...
