Version 0.2.01 is coming!!!
Thank you for all your patience :)

Val's events are done for this release. Not all done for stage 2,m but complete enough for the new release coming.
On another note, my family has Covid. I have been exposed, but no symptoms as of yet. Everyone is in quarantine. If I must stay home from my regular jobs, then I will work on the game all day and every day I am stuck at home.
Thanks for your patience as always!

I also wanted to post a few things about the new update and the change log.
First thing first, I wanted to let everyone know the update should happen this week. I will not make any excuses except that the quest system is now completed, the character info pages are done, and I have decided to set each character (Except for Rayne) their own paths in the map screen as well as their homes. I did not want to upload this half-done or with empty events. I need them all to work together. The wa...
2022-12-05 20:17:33 +0000 UTC View PostSo, I have finished fixing the stage 1 problem, and have rewritten the code to make more sense and also to work much better. I have done a few more things to refine it as well.
This version will be available this weekend. I will try to add as much as I can for stage 2 by the weekend. I have also added a new gallery for the upcoming stage 2 quests and will be putting in the quest hints as well. I will be giving it off to my beta testers probably on Friday, and give them some time t...

Ok... I know that the update to Secrets is taking way longer than normal. I have a timeline that should make things better for all of you.
Next weekend will be the release of the new system and added more content for stage 2 as well as stage 1. The phone system should be finished by mid-December, as of right now, the images for the first texts are completed.
The changelog will be huge. So bear with it when it releases. On another note, when it does release, you will have to ...
2022-11-27 16:32:45 +0000 UTC View PostI hope all of you are well and full from all that turkey today. I should know, I cooked for 2 days getting ready to feed 12 people in my home for today. I hope the rest of your day is awesome and good. And, the Cowboys won! So I am stoked!
Thank you to everyone :)

I had to share this. The only difference is that the lighting makes the room better, and the shadows more visible. It also brings out the true colors in the images. The bad part... takes longer to render than normal (my speed of rendering is 12 minutes for each HD image most of the time, this one took 32 minutes... But I think it's worth it :)

this is just to keep everyone sane :)
2022-11-19 22:34:07 +0000 UTC View PostSo... Where to start...
Beginning of the week I had 2 shots at the same time - a covid booster and the flu shot. Those both together I will say this... Don't get both at the same time. I had a bad reaction and it put me in bed for 2 1/2 days. Missed work, and never touched my computer or the game.
I am near completion of the current game stage 1 by re-fixing my programming issues that broke it. In doing so, I have also made it more readable with character thoughts and menu s...
2022-11-19 21:26:57 +0000 UTC View PostI did not realize that the game would be so broken to where things are out of whack. I have the original backup and will be implementing this update to that, instead of the fixed code I made. I will re-engineer this code to hopefully get the beginning of stage 2 correct and fix the phone system for the texting portion.
Thank you for being patient, nd I do really apologize for any inconvenience this might have brought you. This has been a huge learning experience and I do appreciat...

Here's this update. I wouldn't consider it too much, but here is the changelog:
I have updated the GUI System to be better readable. I always hated those boxes that filled the center of the screen. So what better way than to remove them and make my own...
I have only added the beginning of stage 2. (It's only a few renders for now...)
I was moving code around and trying to fix more bugs - found a little more with time and such things. Those are fixed and will be back to my b...

So, as you can see, I have been doing some reworking of the GUI system in Secrets to better the gaming experience. I have always wanted to get rid of those annoying screen boxes for choices and found out I can move, change, and hover them inside renpy. I have finished putting them in, and now I am testing to make sure everything looks perfect for this new system.
The changelog for stage 2 will be coming soon. I am about 65% done with the added images for the first part of stage 2. The s...

I haven't forgotten about this at all... The game's main renders are nearly complete for part of this stage. I have added more action screens for Angela in the home and started making action scenes for the other characters, such as an arcade section, Home sections, Neighbors' home sections, work areas, and also a few others that will be a key part of the story moving forward.
I am thinking that next weekend I should have most of this done, and will release a working part of the ga...

Here is the update as promised. I hope you all enjoy it as this is now done with the first chapter. Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
Thanks for everything!

Sunday is the big day for the release of chapter one. I finally finished it, and right now my beta tester is trying it out. It has come a long way since the first inception. Keeping it simple but also keeping it engaged better than the first one.
On Sunday I will do the changelog as well... Now onto the next stage in Secrets :) I'll keep you posted on that as well :) I may have a sneak preview of it tonight once it finishes rendering.

I am finishing up the first chapter of WRCTF. I only have 1 more scene left to do, and then I start finishing up stage 2 of Secrets.
Secrets will go to my testers first before I post the stage here, just to make sure everything will work out for the better. Stage 2 will be made up of 2 or 3 parts, as it has come to my attention that the phone system and all the others have to be implemented into the game to make it smoother.
I appreciate you all and thank you for your patien...

This is the next update for the new REDUX of WRCTF - it's at 0.8 as the first chapter is nearly complete, but I wanted to share it because I am proud of this. I do hope you enjoy playing the newest version.
Thank you for everything!

Here is the second update today...
This is considered an update, but a small one - however it was a huge project undertaking, since the phone system had to be implemented into the current version and placed in the next.
what the phone system does is:
- Has a weather system with weather for in-game. Later it will have rain and thunder, which will be needed to activate certain scenes and events. (Not saying anymore :) )
- A time system, according to the time ...

I know I haven't posted in a while, so I want to post two things.
1st: I finished the phone system last night, and started the script for stage 2. I have also lessened the number of clicks for the game, hoping to make it a little better for everyone. I left the system intact for the easy/medium/hard modes. I will be uploading this later this afternoon for everyone to check out.
2nd: As the picture above shows, I have been working hard on getting this ready for chapter one. It is t...

This is just a quick look into the next event in WRCTF remake. I hope you enjoy it. More to come soon...
As for the phone system, all but the email system is done. I have already added the images of Rayne to the message system. But, I will wait for that until it releases :)
I have also lowered the numbers down a bit for less grinding. If you have any issues with this, please let me know. I think the game is almost 100% with no errors.

I know there are still some issues with the game flow. I will be working on that portion of it once I get done with the phone system. The phone system is kind of complicated as it has many things going on inside of it, to prepare for the next stage and stage 3.
Here is the list of actions the phone can do:
This is a minor fix, that allows the end scene to properly activate once all quests are complete.
Thanks to everyone who caught this for me :)

So this is just a demo... Just a demo to show off what my vision is for this game now. I would love to know what you think of it. It has been upgraded a lot from the original. The storyline is the same, just slowed way down, and since the other characters were nothing but a mess and added too quickly... I have left most of them out of the storyline. Enjoy this short :)
Sorry for the confusion... Here is the newest link.
I did upload the newest, but for some reason, it didn't take.
Sorry about that.
phone system was activated, but will be in a future release. I will deactivate it now :)
Because of the shower scene error, I did some more to work that out. Angela's shower scenes are now back in random mode in the morning :) The upload will be completed in about 10 minutes :)
thanks for the heads up on this. Have a great weekend!

So... Once I get the bug out of the game and upload it, I figured I would start the redux of WRCTF. On the side... I am using the same systems for this version, non-grinding and not a sandbox. But a system that will have quests, a gallery, and the same story, but without the mess that I made the first time.
I am shooting for a system that makes sense and contains more of a story and explanations of what will happen. In other words... Slowing it down a lot.
More to come :) 2022-09-30 01:32:33 +0000 UTC View Post
This is going to be the new phone system. More will be on the way :)

Hello Everyone! It's Update day! This is kind of a big deal for me. I have sent this to the Alpha and Beta team to fix most of the issues with this build. I have listened and found some things weren't triggering correctly, misspells, and so on. Here's the changelog:
