A fresh start | Status Report #07

Thank you to everyone who stuck around after I cancelled CoM, and thank you to everyone who joined the Patreon. The past few weeks, a lot has changed, and I want to take my time to address it all.

The End of Covenant of Morn

When I announced the cancellation of CoM, I was certain my Patreon would take a huge hit — which, as many of you know, is pretty much my only source of income right now. I was afraid of losing my job and disappointing a lot of peo...

Covenant of Morn — Follow-up & FAQ

This post is here to answer a few of the most common questions I expect about the cancellation of Covenant of Morn and what happens next.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Will Covenant of Morn ever return?

It’s not impossible, but right now it’s really unlikely.
I've learned a lot about myself and the way I think a story should be written and CoM isn't that anymore. I don't see mysel...

Covenant of Morn | Development Canceled

As of today, I’m officially canceling the development of Covenant of Morn and shifting my full focus to My Girl Loves Handcuffs.
This has been a decision I’ve struggled with for weeks—honestly, for months—and it’s been weighing heavily on me. But after a lot of thought, I’ve realized that I simply can’t keep developing CoM any longer. Financially and mentally, it’s drained me to a point where it’s no longer sustainable. View Post

Getting into it | Status Report #06

Getting back into the groove is certainly a challenge. After launching MGLH I took some time off, then I started working on CoM again, which hasn't been easy.

Rough Start

I don't wanna lie. Going back to CoM turned out to be more of a challenge than I expected. Especially the first few days I didn't get much done. Had trouble concentrating and always kinda wanted to run away from it. So I started slow. Allowed myself to take my time. Did a little here, a littl...

Back to the Morn

The simple answer is that I’ll start working on the next update for CoM. Version 0...

Finish Line | Status Report #04

The first update of the side project is nearing completion very quickly. A first release isn't far anymore, so let me tell you about what I got done in the last month and what will happen next.

A List of New Things:

  • I added additional PINUP albums to the game. There are now three in the first update.

  • I wrote four additional SEX EVENTS into the game.

  • And added ALTERNATIVE DIALOGUE View Post

YOU or HE? Help me with the narration.

The side project will feature narration that offers exposition and gives deeper insight into every moment. There is one issue that I haven't found an answer to yet. Help me figure it out.

Should the narration call the male protagonist HE, or YOU?


An example from the game for HE:

n = narration
y = male protagonist

n "He closes the door behind [girl], still struggling to process the situation."
y "How the fuck are you here?!"
n "He blurts...

Side Project | Status Report #03

This time, it's all about the side project. I've spent an immense amount of time with it and have an equally immense amount of progress to show for it. Let us get into it.

Reporting Progress:

When I'm developing an entirely new and unreleased project, it can be difficult to keep track of my progress. There are so many little mechanics and systems needed to make things run smoothly that I lose track of what I've done and what should be mentioned to you.

AN EXAMPLE:<...

It's fun! | Status Report #02

Since my last status report, I got a ton of content developed—and managed to get really sick for a week. Let me tell you what I managed to get done.

Covenant of Morn:

In the last report, I told you about me deciding to do an overhaul of the story for CoM. After I communicated it, I sat down and started planning.

Writing the new plot, refining it, and breaking it down into scenes and gameplay changes—I did that for a few days u...

How does AI change my work? | Dev Diary #02

Today's topic is a bit boring and probably one you've already heard way too much about because everyone can't stop mentioning it. But I feel like it's necessary to dive into how AI is impacting my work, in which ways I use it, and in which ways I don't.

The beginning:

I'm not gonna lie to you all. I'm not the biggest fan of AI tools. As an artist, I do feel threatened by it and can't approach these tools without bias. I feel like it's going to cost many artists dearly, that it...

About the MCs visuals.

One of the main points of critique for CoM is the player character’s bluish skin tone. For a while, I was adamant about keeping it the way it is, both because of the huge amount of work it would take to change it and because I felt like it didn’t matter. It also didn’t help that 90% of the comments about it were incredibly rude and obnoxious. But in all seriousness—what do you think about it? If I’m overhauling the story anyway, now would be a good time to implement such a sweeping ...

Long-Distance Notes | Status Report #01

Eighteen days ago, I told you that I was going to change the way I develop my games—specifically, my mental approach to them and the way I report to you about the progress I’m making. Today, I’ll tell you what I’ve been doing since then.

Time off:

This might not come as a surprise, but I spent some of my time doing nothing. There were a lot of holidays in Germany over the past two weeks, and there’ll be even more in the coming days. I took some time of...

An Eye for Details | Dev Diary #01

If you want to create believable 3D models and environments, you need an eye for details. Always use reference. Not just in the beginning, but in every single step of the way. References are a kind of map that shows you exactly what to do and where to go. Without it, you'll inevitably get lost.

When I began developing games and learning 3D software, I had heard much about the importance of using references in your work. Every single tutorial on YouTube kept repeating th...

An Update About the Development and Updates

Hey everyone,

Today I want to talk about the games I've been developing—and a few upcoming changes. And no, the plural wasn't a mistake.

I'm having trouble starting this post. I don't know which angle to take, how to explain what I want to do, and what led me to this conclusion. Don’t get me wrong—nothing crazy is happening. But I still struggle with how to express it. So, I’ll start by telling a little, mostly boring, tale.

Version 0.5.1 was released successfully and I want to express a warm welcome to everyone that's new and say thank you for your support to new, and of course, old supporters. Let's take a look at what will await you in Version 0.6.

As I've just started working on v0.6, there isn't too much to report in terms of progress. I did finish seven new environments for the next dungeon, started on the dialog planning and rendered the first images, which is already a good chunk of the work, but ...

A new Monday, a new update, plenty of content, without further ado we'll get into it.

Monday Update #120 | Adding Sprites

Two weeks have passed and I return with the newest Monday Update. The second one of 2025. I made some very good progress on the game and introduced an entirely new system. Let's take a closer look.

  • SPRITES: The newest addition to the game is a sprite system. That means animated, talking portraits of the characters that are displayed to show emotions during dialog. I had them in MIST, but opted to not use any sprites in CoM, because I felt like I could show all...

Animation Preview #00 | Kasia's Day Out

I wanted to try something new and decided to share a work-in-progress view at one of the animations I'm working on.

Let me know if you like previews like these, I'm thinking about making it a regular thing. Also if you know any video uploaders that allow NSFW content, embed properly on Patreon, and have good quality let me know. I'm still looking for a better option : D

Monday Update #119 | After My Vacation

Welcome to the first Monday Update of 2025. I took some time off over the holidays, so there isn' t too much to report, but I still got a few things done.

  • Writing: Like I reported in my last little update post in 2024, I already got a decent chunk of the writing for this update done. Now I had to rewrite one of the sex scenes because I ended up not liking it, but overall I'm pretty happy with the process, there isn't much left in terms of writing.
