Ep. 3 Progress Update | Character Profile: Riley

Hey, everybody.

I'm not posting the progress image because it hasn't changed. I want to try to give you all weekly updates even if there might not be much progress to report. But there is progress, so that's a good thing, even though the progress bars didn't move. Last week, I'd say I was about 80% through renders. Now I'm closer to 90%.

The ending scenes are a lot longer than I anticipated. That means I have to do more renders than I was expecting to. I also had to re-render some...

Episode 3 Progress Update | Special Render

Hey, everybody.

I didn't get as many renders done because I had to spend more time building sets, which took a lot longer than I expected. Episode 3 has a lot of new locations and characters I'm excited to introduce. The good news is, once they're made, I don't have to make them again.

Since I'm rendering scenes, I didn't have much time for special renders. But I did manage to just squeez...

Episode 3 Progress Update

Hey, everybody.

I've got a lot of renders done but there's still a lot more work to do.

The last few renders are going to take longer because I have to build new assets. Lots of new characters being introduced as well as a few new locations.

I have all weekend free, so I plan on doing as many renders as I can and hopefully I can get more writing done, too.

I'll have another up...

2021 Road Map

Hey, everybody.

Episode 3 development is underway. Since it's so early, there's not much progress to report on. Instead, I thought I'd fill you in on what I have planned for 2021. I made this picture to highlight everything I want to do.

EPISODES

Episode 2 is out. Episode 3 is in the middle of development. By the time 2021 is over, if everything goes well, Episode 5...

New Character Poll

Hey, everybody.

A new character is introduced in Episode 3. She's an older character, at least a decade older than the MC. She's a no-nonsense, straight-forward girl residing in Midtown.

You can vote on her hair/eyes if you want. If there's a tie, I'll be the deciding vote. Also, if you have suggestions for a name, feel free to leave it in the comments. (Appearance/design isn't completely final.)

Episode 3 progress is underway. I have a few more updates abou...

Episode 2 now available for PC/Mac

Since I don't have many supporters, I figured I'd just release it to all of you at the same time. Usually, there'll be a delay between tiers, but for now, everybody can get it.

!!!!! Old saves are not compatible. You must start a new game.

I moved some code around and changed some variables, so some stats and decisions may not be read if you try an old save.

Changelog:

* 700+ new renders

* 4 new ...

Episode 2 Update

Renders are done. Animations are finished. Writing/Coding is done. Everything seems to be working but it involved breaking a few things in the process. I have to do a few more playthroughs through to make sure I didn't miss any code errors and typos. When Episode 2 comes out, it's likely you'll have to start an entirely new game. That comes with the territory of an amateur like me. Sorry about that. ...

Episode 2 Update News | Special Holiday Render

***NOTE: Charge Upfront is now enabled. All current pledges will be charged on January 1st, so make sure you back out if you don't wanna get charged again.

Hey, everybody! I hope you're all doing well and enjoying the holiday season. I know it's a tough time for some people, so I just wanted to send some well wishes for what it's worth.

Episode 2 Update / Exclusive Renders / New Character

Hey, everybody.

***IMPORTANT NEWS

First thing, just another reminder, I'll probably be moving to upfront charging in the next week or two. So charges will start on the first of the month starting in January.

***THE UPDATE

It's been a few weeks since the last update. I figured I'd wait a little bit before posting another update, so the progress is a little more subst...

Announcement/Progress Update/New Poll

Starting at the end of December, I'm switching to monthly, upfront charging. That means you'll be charged as soon as you sign up AND on the first of the month following, regardless of when you signed up. That means if you're still around, you'll be charged on January 1st, regardless of when you pledge, and the first of the month going forward. I'm planning on switching right around Christmas time and I'll keep reminding you until then. Basically, after your initial pledge, all charges are mov...

Exclusive Render: Harlow

Next up for an exclusive render is Harlow. What's she wearing? Is she even wearing anything at all? Download the attached hi-res file to find out.

Whether or not you're celebrating Thanksgiving Day, there's no more appropriate time than now to thank all of you. I'll never stop showing my appreciation for all of you early adopters, so if you're sick of it, get used to it. Enjoy yourself and stay...

Character Profile - Billy Love

Today's profile is on your landlord/boss, the one and only Billy Love.

For Billy's design, I wanted to go with a jolly and friendly design. Billy's a nice, average guy and I made him look like a real chum. He might seem odd at times but when I write for him, everything he says is good-natured.

Billy's role in the story will affect it in two ways.

The first is that he's your anch...

Character Profile: The Main Character

Hi everybody. While we're waiting for the next episode, I figured I'd take the time to do some character profiles and give you more insight into the game.

And I thought there was no better place to start with than you, the main character.

For the MC, I wanted to go with a model design that was ordinary and unassuming. I didn't want someone who was disgustingly hideous. I didn't want some...

Who would you like to see in the next exclusive render?

Hey everybody!

It's the first of, hopefully, many updates.

Episode 2 production is underway. Episode 1 served as an introduction but Episode 2 will be a little bit longer. As a result, it will take longer to finish.

For some insight into my production workflow, it looks like this.

Renders > Animations > Writing > Editing > Testing > Finalizing distributable

Special Render - Riley

The first exclusive render is of your high school crush, Riley Fox. I'm still getting the hang of things, so I'm hoping renders will get better as I go along.

What's she wearing under there? Download the attachment for the full, high-definition file.

Have a great weekend!
