How long it will take?

In this post I'm going to try something really difficult: predict how much time it will take to complete the new game.

This will be a really rough estimate made for patrons who maybe want an idea about how long their would support the development until we reach a final product.

I'll start from a measured fact: It took 3 to 4 months (let's say 100 days) to complete Hack'n Stalk. We could extrapolate this time to the new game by defining what needs to be done.

1, 2, 3... Just a little mumbling here...

I'm a gamer, I play NSFW games, and I share the frustrations most of you who do the same have. 

We all know what the problems are: (1) projects that are never finished due to overly large scale, (2) unbalance between a lack of game-play elements or repetitive grinding tasks, (3) low quality writing. I made Hack'n Stack always thinking about how to avoid these problems.

And here we go ... New project teaser !

This is a teaser for my new project with just a quick intro scene to those who wants the know the story premise! Don't expect much!


This new game will be a loose sequel for the 'canon' good ending of Hack'n Stalk, with a new player character and taking place in a new (but already known) location. If you never played Hack'n Stalk, I advise to play it first for a full experie...

What's next

So... I'm gonna release the final version of Hack'n Stalk next week. It will feature just a few more bug fixes, but the most important is: it will put a [COMPLETE] tag in the project. \o/  \o/  \o/  

Then, the time to plan the next project will come. The first big decision is about the base genre: 

  • A plataform/Metroid-like action game
  • A deeper RPG/Point-and-Click (probably in the same "universe" of Hack...

Hack'n Stalk Quick Guide [WIP]

This guide will cover basic mechanics and spoils how to reach all endings. It's gonna be the "official" guide linked on the final game release (very soon!). I may expand this guide later !

In the first two chapters, you gonna make a lot of choices that will increase/reduce the main status gauges (love/horny). In most cases, there are no "wrong" choices. 

There is a hidden staus called 'Karma' in the game. Some thoughts and actions will tell more about your character and this will be...
