Happy Halloween 2023



A group of game developers collaborated and created a small Halloween greeting to share with each other's followers for some cross-promotion. They also included all the images and the video in a zip file. Feel free to download it if you'd like to enjoy the high-definition images. πŸŽƒπŸ‘»πŸ•·οΈπŸ•ΈοΈ

Our Home 2.11.0

Hello, everyone, we're back!

In this new version of Our Home, we faced some challenges. The time it took to create Lana's house images significantly increased. However, we believe we achieved our goal.

In this version, we're finalizing the context for Emily and MC's meeting, which is an important moment. We prepared everything carefully to make it special and meaningful.

In this update, we also provided more information about Emily's current situation. Additionally, we in...

Behind Scenes 9

Hey there, folks!

Let's take a quick peek behind the scenes. As everyone knows, we are always striving to create unique environments, and we do a lot of it ourselves. This not only gives us that special touch but also helps us save some cash.

One of the places we've been tinkering with in our spare time is the new orphanage. You see, the orphanage we were building ended up way too massive and completely out of proportion. So, we decided to start from scratch, and we're here to sho...

Happy New Year

Hello, everyone.


We are entering the second year of the "Our House" project.

But today I feel much more prepared than when I started this project.

It's quite ambitious, and it's not going to end any time soon, despite all the difficulties, we will continue.


It's going to be a busy weekend for me, so I wish you all a happy end of year.


I hope to have you around to experience great adventures with our hero in "Our Home" in 2023.

A new version is on the way.

We are fine-tuning the last details of the version, making an proofreading English version.


The new version is short, and this will be our last short version.


I believe that we finally managed to build the base for the development of the game.


With most of the features implemented, this will give us more freedom to write and render.


Expect big updates from here after this release, thanks for the support.

Hello everyone.


I know it may be that we seem to be missing, but rest assured the work has never stopped.

We're very close to finally the next release, so we'd like to share with you, everything we've built into this new version.

Before showing you everything, it's important to remember that I had to deal with a problem that was out of my control, especially with regard to knowledge of python and how python talks to renpy.

STATUS REPORT #21

Hi


Well this week we discovered a serious bug during the tests of the full version as far as the new version is ready.  Bug is related to the side events are the events that should not be directly connected to the main story; 


 I already have an idea how to solve this, try my best to minimize the chance that it will be necessary to start from scratch and lose the progress, so our next goal is to fix the problem before the release of the version...

Hi guys.


I won't apologize for disappearing, I'll just let you know what's going on.


With the new computer parts, the first thing I had to do was to focus on work to pay the new bills.


In the meantime my wife has been at work rendering a lot of the scenes again. Since the renderings were very glitchy, and that bothers us too much, but it takes time, especially opening and closing scenes.


All in all, we are doing well. And sin...

Hello guys.


Let's go to the status, first sorry for being gone, I was involved a lot with work this week, many projects involving government issues, election year in my country, and the people are crazy to show service;


Well, as you know it became very complex to render in the open world, which led us to make a big investment in new components, we really couldn't make much progress, because the computer just can't render the images with an acceptable quality ...

STATUS REPORT #18

Hello guys.

I'm concentrating the status report on paid patreon.

Even to give morale to the people who support the game. But some status reports remained public, like this one, even because the number of patreons today, does not justify having a closed status report.


As I said, these last few weeks have been complex for me, a lot of involvement in meetings at work, a lot of trips to the office that took me a lot away from home, but work never stopped.

STATUS REPORT #17

A few weeks ago we are experiencing some difficulties, the main one, as I mentioned to a colleague, is our rendering power.

Today we have 2 working machines, a very old one that is with my wife where the scenes are made, and the main machine which is mine.

Whenever it is necessary to test the lighting, or the composition of scenes is necessary to use my computer, and this consumes a lot of time, some scenes take more than 1h to be finished.

It was already in our plans to bu...

STATUS REPORT #16

Hi guys.


This week is being less productive than I expected, unfortunately I had to attend meetings at work that went beyond my normal working hours, besides that I was involved in some projects at work, and this should last until next week.


In the time I had working on writing more of the story, we had to rewrite a part of the next version because we found the plot too forced, but we believe it is OK now.


The English revision has been comple...

Hello everyone.

It wasn't a very long week, but I believe we made progress.

Working full time and developing games in our spare time is not an easy task, but we kept going.

We were starting to pass some things we wrote to the game's code, and we realized that there was a serious flaw in the organization of character information and in the gui, and it would prevent us from reaching our goal as the secondary missions of the MC, dissatisfied with how the gui was organized for t...

Hello Sweets
We are coming to the end of a development cycle, and with the end of this cycle, as I had already commented, the MC will go through a look change.


After a week of voting considering the Patreon votes (which have different weight), the dissent votes and also the opinion of me and my girlfriend, who helps me with the game development, we reached the perfect look for the MC, and this is the subject of this status report, I hope you like the result.

Hello guys, let's go to James Bond's status report, bad joke

In the last few days besides working on new scenes now at the mall I also worked on improving a bot I was developing, this bot is a prototype for translating games to any language using Discord, basically the bot will send you a phrase, if you will translate this phrase to the local language.

The goal of this bot is to create a better engagement between the game and the players, the bot will give XP to the participants, ...
