This is now live. This should hopefully fix a few things:
Thanks for updating me on the current status and errors... Now it's time to start 2.7 and the new laptop / phone / and gallery features.
Have a great day or night! Thanks to all!
Some newer bugs have been reported as you can see down below, that has been fixed and the newer version will be uploaded later today after I am done going through the games Stage 1. I will also see why some people can't talk to Lynn or Brynn during stage 2. Thank you to all who helped.
The code that was dormant until just now, was from the beginning of the Angela actions when I first started the game. I had thought I removed all that when I re-did the code during stage 1 to stage 2 prog...

Tonight is the Beta release version 1 (just in case of any major issues...)
I believe that the mac errors for the sleeping has been fixed. Let me know, and if not, I will try it on another IOS machine.
I have added more content, and also fixed the ongoing issues from the Alpha version. I have added the following:
Hello everyone!
So just a quick say about what is going on...
I have found some holes in the storyline, and certain triggers did not happen because of either mis-spellings or I needed to finish the scenes where the bubbles happen to make things happen. I actually remade some of the renders because I was not happy with them, or the camera was quite close for focus.
On the other hand, I did make new content for some of the holes, and created another event for Lynn while ...

Ok... Before you download this, there are a few things I should be telling you about this update. It is in Alpha stage at the moment. Certain triggers I am having issues with. I get no errors, but certain scenes don't activate. I will be working on them still during the night and day tomorrow.
I thought that this would at least help with the promise. I have tried to keep going on this, but as it keeps going, the game is huge and getting bigger as I go. Lots of things happening :)&...

Good evening everyone,
I have just finished the new events for the arcade, Brynn's afterschool activities, a new even for Angela as seen above, The internet is working and Val has decided to share more things with Rayne. Secrets are starting to brew and cause chaos or not so much chaos...
I am finishing the coding and the script. As of right now I have added almost 200 new images, 3 animations, and about 1100 lines of new code (fixed as well.) The alpha may be done by tomorrow, wh...

As you can see from the image, I have made yet another nav for the gym, and the actions that happen there between Val and Rayne, and soon Mari and Angela. The gymquests for Val are almost completed. At least for the next update. You should see some interesting things happening in the Val Home soon after Val and Rayne workout together.
Also, I have fixed a few little bugs, still trying to complete those tasks as well. I have also re-made the side cheat for the whereabouts of the characte...

I have read all the comments lately, and see there is still some issues. Mainly everyone wants to see the Brynn actions when she is at the pool. I am currently working on getting that part of the update finished as this is being posted. Others have found other errors either that I have missed, or found for me. I am going through all those as well.
I have finished the Flora event with Rayne also. That will be in this next update. I have updated the Val event with her photo that she sends...

Hello everyone...
There have been a few things going on in the secrets universe. The next update you will find out a few more things that happen at school during the days. This sets up another problem for the family.
As far as this update will be concerned, This will be a small update. (As I stated before.) I took about 5 days off from programming and have been re-doing some of the renders I already made prior to the stage 2 update. You will see those in the next few updates...
2023-05-01 20:58:15 +0000 UTC View PostFixes for the previous version. It is very hard to find bugs when you play and play and play. I have gotten so used to knowing what is correct and what is not, hence the reason why sometimes these things happen. Also working 80+ hours a week, and doing this on top of everything else. Kind of loss of mindset sometimes. I do apologize for the constants.
Ok, anyways... Fixes that are in this version... (Not so many this time.)
Fixed the massage quest loop. Rayne will now ask during M...

Finally... We have come to this point of the game. This update is considered to be 1/3 of this stage. Stage 2 has a lot more work to be done, which I will be working and trying to get an update to you every two weeks until Stage 2 is completed. (For any of you that look at the images in the images folders, some are there - but be warned, it will spoil the game for you. I hate spoilers!)
There is a ton of fixes and content updates in this version. Also, checked it twice in renpy ver. 8.0...

Ok, So it's Wednesday night, and I just wanted you to know I am finishing up the Brynn beginning and the Lynn Beginning of the story. I have also gone through the game a few times, and have had some good feedback (And not so good...) from my friends who help me test. I won't bore you with another changelog this time, but can say that the new content is plentiful.
I had to add more to the gallery pages so that the story lines are complete, and now adding more quest informatio...

OK... Here is another long message for everyone. I have complete the bug fixes for stage 1, as far as I know - and the tester knows. Stage 2 I am now testing and making sure there are no bugs in this version as well. So the changelog is again super long, so please don't mind it. I am adding more content than expected to even out the story a bit, and to make it slower in some parts... So here is the newest changelog...

Hey Everyone! So it has been a trying 2 weeks. I am back up and running at about 90 percent now with the new parts for the computer. Things seems to be going faster and now, I have the time to actually sit down and work on the ongoing issues with Secrets. I have already started making a changelog for the next update due out soon. Here are the details so far:
FIXED:
Hello everyone!
So some news about what's been going on. Last week we had over 3 feet of snow, which basically stopped the production dead for 2 days, because of no power in my house, or at work. Once the computers became useable again, I found out that it fried one of my video cards, and also corrupted 2 4tb hard drives. I fixed them all today! And I am back going strong. (I did loose 2 2080's in the storm... I am in the process of repairing them... Have one working, and the other just...

Hello and good afternoon. This will be a quick post since I have been very busy with projects and the update of Secrets.
Chad had mentioned earlier that I should try to kill the monotony of the grind, by adding more content to some of the events. I think he is right, as I keep playing this with the lessened grind, I still find it kind of long. To make a long story short, I have started making those renders and adding other surprises to the game during the events where grinding is needed...
2023-03-08 00:21:13 +0000 UTC View Post
So, the next update will appear in the first week of March. At least that's what is projected. I am finishing up a few loose ends and taking the game to the next level.
One of the things that is troubling the game flow is the amount of grind currently. I guess when the developer does not like the amount, I think it is time to change it. I am currently working on getting a controller (Thanks to a great friend of mine) to take care of some of these issues.
I have also noticed ...

I have been working on getting more Angela events working for this part of the game. I have almost completed the yoga event and her working events. You have already been introduced to Lana, and she will play a part in this next update.
I am also working on getting the Navigation complete for the school. This will make it easier to find where Lynn, Brynn, and Val are during school hours.
One more update, which will include a less grinding version hopefully by the update after this ...

After saving everything that has been here for the last 8 months, I was finally able to afford a 3090 Hybrid for my main machine. This will allow me to continue making these games at a faster rate than normal. I wanted to thank each and every one for this, as this has made creating far better, and gives me more motivation to continue creating for you :)
A BIG HUG AND THANKS TO YOU :)
2023-02-16 01:26:02 +0000 UTC View PostAs of right now, I am working on getting the grind down a lot. As well, now I have been talking to a few other game devs, who say they love the game, but... This would help, that would help... and do this... so on and on... I have been working on adding more content as well as streamlining the grind down. I have also taken a week off from this project, hence no real update yet. I am sorry for that.
I am posting the newest fix for everyone tonight.
As far as the games not trigger...
Here is the newest fix for the other few errors I have had lately. Thanks to all that helped with finding these. :) I really appreciate everything. Thanks to you, I can continue making this the best game I have ever done!

Thanks to all who helped! I am grateful and owe a ton now...
The download is the same name. So as to not confuse anyone. Just re-download it and things should go together. :)
2023-01-25 03:57:52 +0000 UTC View Post
With all the updates going on, I needed to fix a few things for a hotfix. This fixes the phone issue crashing the game, and should no longer crash. Fixed an issue with the quests, not showing the proper quest info for Val.
Working on getting some more updates done for the next chapter in stage 2. Already have most images done and working on getting the scripting done.
Have a great night :) And thank you all for the support!
So... Here we are again, posting another update that has taken quite a bit longer than expected. (Sorry about that...) In this update, you will see a complete overhaul of the info pages, a lot of new content, new storylines, and even hidden gems along the way.
I had a little help with this one, only because I could not find some of the errors that I was getting. Thanks to the beta testers!
It's a huge changelog if you are interested in knowing what has changed and adde...

Hello and good afternoon!
I wanted to share a few things with you all today about the progress of Secrets.
The photos speak for themselves, these are the newest info pages for each character, as well as the newest quest informational pages for each section of the quests. I decided to make them look more professional and not so sloppy. This way, it should be more helpful and easier to read than before.
As for the game itself, I have added more content and a few secret spots i...

I have already fixed a major bug when the info screen in on and the skip button is pressed, the game seemed to not get away from the info screen. The added content to this version will be enormous. Additions to gallery, phone gallery, phone system, Val's events, mini game, etc... All part of the 1/3 finish line... So, next weekend I should be able to have this version up as soon as I hear ...

I thought I would keep you up to date on how the game is progressing...
Valerie's Events are about 2/3 done. At least for this stage. 85% done with the script, and about 210 renders just for her events.
Mari's Events are about 2/3 done as well with renders. about 35% complete on her story
Lynn's Events are small. About 1/8 done. the script is in the works.
Brynn's Events are about 1/4 done. The script is about half done
Angela's new quests and events, including w...

Ok... I know it has been a very long time. But, I think it is worth the trouble of waiting so long...
This is what has happened to the game:
The engine has been improved and seems to have lessened the number of errors to almost none. Only part of stage 2 has been added but has over 185 images and too many lines of code to say.
