Primary Rendering on 0.3 is Complete!

Hello, patrons and public! 

As of this evening, primary rendering on the 0.3 update is complete. Right now I count around 375 renders. For reference, 0.1 was 150ish renders and 0.2 was around 250.

Now comes post-processing, which includes rendering the backgrounds and any additional adjustments I need. 

After that comes coding, which will present me some interesting challenges.

Once that is all done I need to test the game, gather the music, do my intro and e...

Friday Update - September 20

It has been weeks now without a rest. Never before have I run this long or this far. In the past several days it has gotten even worse. I am constantly reassured that the end is in sight, but I know better. There is no end. There will always be a next render. Please, kill me.

Hello, Patrons!

Bad news and good news.

The bad news first: what I both feared and knew would happen, happened. A few nights ago as I lay down ...

Bonus Poll!

Hi, Patrons! I was thinking about Fridays. Specifically, on Friday I hit you guys with the Friday Update, as well as the Cosplay and Lingerie of the Week posts. 

I'm wondering if you guys would rather I spread these posts over different days? I'd like to always do a Friday Update, but should I move the Cosplay and Lingerie shots to different days?

Tuesday Poll - Music!

Happy Tuesday!

Let's continue with the market research! For this poll I'm wondering what is your preference for music in a VN like Unleashed?

Friday Update - September 13

Hello patrons and happy Friday the 13th! 

Unleashed 0.3 is humming along. I figure I'm around 2/3rds complete.

I'm hopeful that I can give you 0.3 within two weeks. If this were 0.2 I would be done in a few days and I'd have it for you by the end of this week, but I'm going for around 300 renders this time and I'll need an extra week.

I am transitioning from the middle act of 0.3 to the final act, and it's a somewhat stressful time - not because I want to meet a self-im...

Cosplay of the Week - #4

Fly the friendly skies! I had to be really careful with the posing here, because she's not wearing any panties.

Tuesday Poll - Best Girl!

You knew it was coming sooner or later! I think I know who the winner will be. But I'll be interested to see if this changes over time.

Cosplay of the Week - #3

I liked this one enough that I did it in 4k. 

Friday Update - September 6

Hello, Patrons! I hope you all had a good week. 

I am cruising along on 0.3. I've finally got most of the writing done, which includes planning out the renders. I'm thinking I might get somewhere around 300 renders this time, which would be about 50 more than 0.2. We'll see how it turns out, because things change rapidly the closer I get to completion.

I'm hoping to get the game out to you in the week of the 23rd, though I think it'll be later in the week.

0.3 will have...

Tuesday Poll!

Did you bow to Nakamura-sensei? No cheating, now! I'm only interested in the first time you were given the choice. If you went back and made another choice, that doesn't count.

0.2.1 Download and Renders

Hi, Patrons! Here is the download location for 0.2.1. It's not necessary to download if you'd rather not. It's not a big change. But I did want to get these fixes out there because they bugged the hell out of me.

 Win/Linux: MEGA - MEDIAFIRE -...

0.2.1 Released!

0.2.1 is now available! Patrons, you will find it in the next post, along with the renders so you don't have to download it if you'd rather not. Those of you who are not patrons will have to find it wherever you acquire your favorite Visual Novels.

Please note: there are several websites that grab the VN and upload it to their own servers that allow them to make money from downloads. If you are downloading Unleashed from a website that offers you faster speeds for money, then it's likel...

Cosplay of the Week - #2

Be glad she didn't bring those claws into the bedroom.

Friday Update - August 30

I bet she's whispering something sexual.

Happy Friday!

I'm going to update the percentages later today. Right now I'm going to post the update and the cosplay of the week. I'll post the lingerie of the week later as well.

Development on 0.3 has been frustratingly slow. I figure I'm probably around 25% complete, though I don't yet have an accurate estimate of how many total renders I'll have, so the numbers are iffy.

The problem has been the writing. The renders actuall...

Friday Update - August 23

You had a rough night. After sleeping in for some time you finally wake up, blinded by the sunlight pouring in through your window. As your eyes adjust, something at the foot of your bed catches your eye.

Update 0.3 is in full production and the first scene is finished - about 25 renders. I've written far enough ahead that I will have renders for a couple of days, but after that, my writing is a little behind schedule. I write in bursts, though, so once I figure it out there won't be an...

Public links to adult content are bad

Hi everyone! I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know that because of Patreon's Terms of Service, I cannot link adult content to the public. As a result, I have removed the public links to Unleashed.

All adult content has to be behind a paywall, meaning it will only be available to patrons.

I apologize for the inconvenience, but if you are not a Patron you will have to find Unleashed the old-fashioned way.

Welcome! What's next

Welcome to the new patrons! Thank you for joining me! I know it's early in the project and supporting me is somewhat a leap of faith, and I appreciate you taking that leap with me.

I like to keep you abridged of where I am at in the creation process, in no small part because it actually helps keep me organized. So here's where I'm at...

There were some minor mistakes in 0.2. Thanks to Rico for pointing out some of them! There's one spot where Olivia says something and instead of h...

0.2 is released to the public!

Well it was leaked within 10 minutes of posting it. I shoulda known :).

Edit - August 21 - Unfortunately, I can no longer link to the download because of Patreon's Terms of Service. Therefore, I will trust in you all to know where to find it. :) 

0.2 Download

Mega - PC Version
Mega - Mac Version

If Mega is not good for you, please let me know and I'll upload it to the other sites.

I'd like to ask you guys to please not distribute this, so that I can get a good schedule down for future patrons.

Let me know wha...

0.2 is Complete!

0.2 is complete and uploading. Tier 2 and up Patrons will soon get a post with the download link.

It will be made available to the general public on September 1.

In the meantime, tomorrow I begin work on 0.3!

Not today. :(

Sorry! It doesn't look like 0.2 will make it today. 

I have a scene that didn't quite look right when it was all pieced together. Unfortunately, this particular scene takes the longest time to render. I'll need at least a day to fix it.

When I have 0.2 finished and ready for you guys I will post again.

Friday Update - 0.2 is Almost Complete!

I'm posting this just after midnight on Thursday because it's technically Friday and I couldn't wait to share the news!

0.2 is all but complete. Keep in mind, though, that whenever I say "complete", I mean that something is finished as it has been planned, but there could still be some changes and/or additions.

The renders are complete. There are 258 of them. Some of them are spot renders - like when a character blinks you don't have to do the whole render, you just have to render...

Friday, August 9 Update

Hello, Patrons! Every once in a while I'm going to make these posts available to the general public, so hello to all of you who are following and interested in the game! Now is a really good time to give you an update, because I hope to have the renders complete by next Friday.

At this very second, renders are around 82% complete. But I have to admit I'm kind of a mess. When starting the script I had a rough draft where I planned around 200 renders. Then as the rendering was happening a...

Friday Update - August 2

Already updated you guys on the progress yesterday, so here's a shot of Maeve in her sleeping attire. Keep in mind that this won't always be her sleeping attire. :)

August Public Update

Happy August to all my patrons and the public-at-large! 

I thought I would offer you all a little glimpse into 0.2, which I have been working on every day since the release of 0.1. Indeed, my machine is rendering even as I type this.

In the 0.2 update you will find Olivia in the kitchen looking slightly different than 0.1. She is in professional attire, having been unexpectedly called in to work. But you will see her later in the day, and she will be in an... interesting... m...

Just a quick note

Hi patrons!

Right now Patreon says your payments are at 75% processed. I'm headed out for a few hours, but I wanted to drop you guys a quick note to let you know I'll be refunding your August payments when it hits 100% - which should be by the time I get back later this afternoon.

I'll also make a public progress update with a screenshot later today. Happy August!

0.2 Preview

Hi Patrons! Hope you had a great weekend! Here's an exclusive screenshot from 0.2. You might not want to get too excited, though... Shannon's not going to be that easy!
