Future Plans and New Project

Dear Friends,

As previously announced, I want to share my future plans and my new project with you.

At the moment, I am diligently working on two interesting projects, each of which is experimental and challenging.

Today, I will present a new story/game called Exploring the Big Apple (yes, yes, it was a pineapple, now it's an apple :) ). This is a kind of experiment for me, as I want to implement many things that were missing or underrepresented in my ...

Pineapple Express-1.0

Friends, I'm excited to present the final update of Pineapple Express.

I can't believe it myself, but I managed to complete the work by the end of the week. Believe me, it was a hellish effort – 533 renders, 7 animations, and a script twice as long as any of the previous updates. I tested the game in "zombie mode," but I hope there won't be too many bugs :) There are many endings in the game; honestly, I didn't even count them all.

Now I'm off to take a shower a...

PE update deadline

Dear Friends,

Although I don't like setting deadlines for my work, I am going to do it now to at least outline the horizon for myself and see the light at the end of the tunnel :)

I have already done a lot (I have more content now than I had in the previous update), but it is not enough to fill all the possible paths in the game, which turned out to be quite numerous. I really don't want to rush and release an unfinished ending of the game.

I work daily, or rather nightly. I...

work in progress ...

Dear Friends, it's time to share an update on my daily hard but also exciting work :)

I've completed the script entirely, with all the dialogues and code, and it turned out to be twice as long as the previous update. This is due to the number of paths and endings, each of which requires its own content. Right now, I'm working on creating scenes and rendering images and animations (preview images have already been sent to patrons of the corresponding subscription). I really hope to finis...

work progress and Happy Orthodox Easter :)

Dear Friends,

first of all, I congratulate everyone celebrating Easter according to the Gregorian calendar!

Secondly, allow me to share the current progress of my work. I am continuing to write the script for the update of the Pineapple Express, which will most likely be the last. But, to be honest, this update will be quite substantial and labor-intensive because there are a lot of scenes spinning in my head that I want to showcase. Maybe I'll have to break it into two parts, th...

Pineapple Express 0.99

Dear Friends,

as promised, I present to you the next part of the game (an early access for Patreon supporters).

It has been a VERY challenging month, full of difficulties and trials. As a result, I've produced a substantial amount of content, due to the numerous paths the player can take. I want to draw your attention to the fact that in the previous part of the game, two new paths were introduced, which are fully explored in this update (I mean, separation betwee...

the current status of the work ...

Good evening, Friends.

I want to share with you the current status of my project, as usual.

At the beginning of the month, a strong cold knocked me off schedule, and now I'll have to pick up the pace. I've written the script (except for one path, the most difficult and confusing for me), and I've already created all the images for the "hot" scenes. It's the first time I've started with the toughest part :) Next, I'll move on to creating "vanilla" images and animations. Also, I'll ...

Happy Easter!

Dear Friends,

First of all, I want to congratulate everyone celebrating Easter today!

Secondly, I'd like to update you on the current status of my work. After releasing the latest update for Pineapple Express, I took a short pause to unwind and rest a bit. Otherwise, I would surely have burned out. But even during this vacation, I still found myself sitting in the evenings and doing something. It's probably some kind of obsession, as my wife says :) But starting from tomorrow, I'...

Pineapple Express 0.95

Dear Friends,

I am pleased to introduce to you the new update for the Pineapple Express (an early access for Patreon supporters).

It has been a challenging month, and this update has required a lot of effort from me. In the end, the script became so complicated that it took me few nights to test it. However, nobody is immune to bugs. Towards the end, I was terribly exhausted from searching for inaccuracies and bugs. I hope that the work turned out to be clean and...

... progress of ongoing work ...

Dear Friends,

I want to share with you again where I am in my work right now. I've prepared a script that turned out to be very intricate and complex, as one of the story paths was split into two separate ones :)

Currently, I'm working on creating scenes and rendering. At this stage, I've completed about 60% of the required amount. Then I'll need to combine everything and test each branch several times to ensure everything works without errors. I'm aiming to release an update with...

Progress on the next Update

Dear Friends,

Another day closer to spring, which means it's time to share with you the status of completed work and plans for March :)

I've been diligently working on the continuation of Pineapple Express, and the eighth part of this game will be released in March. At the moment, I'm finishing the most challenging part of the work - writing the script and all the dialogues. Simultaneously, I've started rendering images little by little. I don't specify the exact release date for ...

Pineapple Express 0.9

Dear Friends,

this time slightly ahead of schedule, I am pleased to present to You the next update of the Pineapple Express (an early access for Patreon supporters). Tired, overwhelmed with work and family matters, losing track of time, I am still glad that I managed to reach this stage. There's more to come ;)

Once again, I want to thank You for believing in me and for Your support.

Regards

Status update on the next PE release

Dear Friends,

Happy February! I want to share with you where I am in the preparation process for the next update.

I've almost finished writing the script (dialogues and coding), which is the most challenging part of the work for me. I need to finish one more route, and then I'll be ready to work on the visual aspects. The update will definitely be released this month, in February.

Thank you for your support and belief in what I do.

Best...

Merry Christmas!

Dear Friends! Merry Christmas to you and wonderful New Year holidays!

I am continuing to work on the next part of the game, which will be released in January. I have taken into account the mistakes and weaknesses of the previous update in order to raise the level higher this time. 

Thank you for your support!

Pineapple Express v0.75

Dear Friends,

as promised, I present to you the next chapter of the "Pineapple Express" (early access for all my patrons).

This time, I've created a big number of images and written an extensive script to cover all possible paths in the game. I hope you can find them all and choose the one that suits you best. Also, I hope I haven't gotten lost in the most complex of all the codes I've created so far. Have fun!

P.S. 

I also want to congratulate you once again on t...

Progress on the update

Dear Friends,

I want to thank you once again for your interest in my works and for your support. 

Additionally, I'd like to share with you the progress of creating the next update for the Pineapple Express. I have already accomplished a lot, written and fully coded the script, translated the text into English, and am currently working on rendering the images. I don't want to set strict deadlines, but I will strive to release the update within the next 10-12 days. If possible,...

Lost in Paradise, v.1.0

Dear Friends,

as promised, I present to you the final chapter of the game "Lost in Paradise."

It was a very challenging and exhausting task; the last update was incredibly difficult for me, but I am glad that I managed to bring this project to completion. Over 3100 renders, several animations, numerous pages of text, and nine months of continuous work... 

Ahead of us are other, hopefully more ambitious projects. Thank you for staying with me and believing in me.  2023-12-02 22:08:16 +0000 UTC View Post

short announcement

Dear Friends,

I ask for your forgiveness, but the update for "Lost in Paradise" will be released on December 2nd, as I still need to finish a few things. I have everything ready, but I don't want to release a raw version just to meet the previously announced deadlines. This update contains a large number of renders, and a significant amount of effort has been invested in it. 

As for the "Pineapple Express," I still plan to release it in December of this year....

work progress

Dear Friends,

I want to share my progress with you in my work. Today, I finished Lia's path in the game "Lost in Paradise." I still need to test everything, but overall, I'm satisfied with the result. Next, I will be working on Eve's path. As I mentioned earlier, the full update will be ready this month. 

Simultaneously, I am writing the script and code for "Pineapple Express." In fact, it turns out to be almost three full games...

It's a bit tiring, but the understandi...

Pineapple Express 0.65

Dear Friends, 

after many hours of hard work, I'm delighted to share with you the new chapter of the game "Pineapple Express." I've tested the game more than 10 times, but there might still be some bugs lurking. That's why I'm asking you to report them directly to me.

Now, I'm focusing all my efforts on the next chapter of "Lost in Paradise."

Have a great weekend and thanks for being with me! Peace to all of us!

update on the current work

Dear friends, just as before, I want to share with you the results of my current work and plans for the future.

"Pineapple Express" - right now, I have finished writing the plot, dialogues, and a complete script for the game. For the first time, I've ended up with such a complex and tangled code, due to the many paths for the main character. I plan to release the update by the end of the month. I'm confident it won't disappoint you.
