First, I would like to thank every single one of you that has supported me in the past, currently supporting, or plan to support in the future! I know I say this a lot, but it really is true when I do... it means the world to me. I honestly didn't expect to make it this far with something like this, lol. But... it puts a smile on my face seeing you all being able to enjoy the game... and I do hope to be able to continue gaining your love and/or support now and in the future.
With that being said, I do have a bit of... bad news... I'm going to have to extend my break from development of the game for a little while longer... maybe a couple weeks or so, I don't honestly don't know yet. This doesn't mean that I won't work on it a little bit from time to time. It just means it won't be my main focus for the time being. I'm going through a pretty rough time right now, to the point where I just... need a little bit of help from the outside. Let's just say that... being an adult does indeed... reeeally suck. I won't get into too much details, but... it's just a lot going on in my head right now that I need to step away for a little while longer. Maybe it won't be for that long, who knows. But, it wouldn't sit right with me just disappearing without letting you guys know that I did.
I know some of you may be a little upset with the news, but I will strive to make it right in the future. I just need to... be able to get myself back on my feet again. If there's one bit of advice I can give you all (even if it's a little hypocritical), it's this...... don't let your stress or depression get to you. Whatever challenges you may be facing... don't let it consume you. There will always be challenges ahead of us, some more challenging than others. But when you close yourself off from the rest of the world... it becomes increasingly more impossible to recover from. I will never say that I'm perfect nor that I have no faults... (like a quadruple negative there) ... but I will always strive to better myself in any and all situations, learn from it... overcome those obstacles. We only have one life in this world, after all... we shouldn't let it be filled with uncertainties and fears...
I will close off with one additional thing... you guys are all heroes. I'm talking to you in the back, and Mike over there... and Sarah... lol. Much of what I said in the first paragraph pales in comparison to how much appreciation there is. I will always remember this, and will hope to strengthen myself and the future with you guys right there with me...... digitally of course, lmao. Almost like a second, third or so family, or something. And for my past, present, and possible future supporters...... I really can't thank you enough for everything. I promise to return stronger and better than before as quickly as possible.
If there's one holiday I love just as much as the festivities of Christmas/X-Mas... it's Halloween! I hope you all have been enjoying your time spooking your friends and families, partying the night away, or taking your kiddos out for a night of candy hunting! With the year slowly but surely coming to an end, it's been really hectic. I know the update has been really slow, but now that the Public Release is just around the corner, I hope that the long wait was worth it for you all to enjoy!
Below are links to folders that include all 4K UHD Wallpapers for the Holidays, in which you can choose what wallpaper to download, some of them, or all of them, completely open to the public! Just, fair warning... some may not be considered...... SFW... lol. Enjoy, and once again, Happy Halloween!
Greetings to you all! I know it's been a long time since the last update... nearly 7 months... but after some setbacks, most due to outside control... I can finally say that 0.3.4... is FINALLY DONE! I'm just going to come out and say that I am sorry for such a long delay... but I can't thank you all enough for your patience and support... it means the world to me, and I really hope that I'll be able to work more on the game in the future, especially when it comes time to begin work on Project Phoenix, or the Remake of the Prologue-Chapter III. I will create a more detailed post about that in the future, but for now...
This update is the conclusion for Chapter III,The Blood Moon! Does this mean that it's the end of Fall of the Angels? Weeeeeell... that's for you to discover.... There are a few new characters that have entered the fray! There's so much that happens during the night of the Blood Moon! I hope that you all will enjoy the continued story!
NOTE: You should be able to continue with current saves. Just make sure to rollback a bit after meeting Julie for the first time! For best results, start a new playthrough!
Firstly, I want to take the time to apologize for what I thought would be a quicker release of the Full Version of 0.3.4. Technically, the Renders were already done, but I wasn't too happy with how the last couple hundred looked, so I had to go back and Re-Render them...… which incidentally sprouted out double (going on triple) the amount of Renders I originally took, lol. This in turn did allow several of the characters to shine a little more in-game. Section 17, which is dubbed "Town"...… man... it exceeds the amount of Renders of Chapter II alone (1800+ Renders), coming in at almost 2500 Renders, which is insane! When it comes time for Scripting, it shouldn't take nearly as long since I need to script what all I Re-Rendered. I can't provide an exact release date, but with some estimations (and hopes)… it could be done by mid/late September.
Secondly, I know that the last couple months were very slow with game progress. I was spending a lot of my time with my kiddos, on top of work and Drill, so I wasn't able to work much or at all on the game... but I should now be able to utilize my time more now. At least that's the hope...
Thirdly, and probably most importantly... I know not many of you may feel to comfortable or agree with the idea of... a Remake... especially if there are chances of previous established story to be altered or removed completely. I will try to explain the main goal of the Remake I plan on doing...
PROJECT PHOENIX (Remake):
I received a lot of feedback: positive and even negative. But amidst all that... a few good points have been made that I want to try to fix:
A lot of the girls fall in love with the MC too quickly...
There are a lot of girls, but not enough time with them....
Relationships feel rushed, lewd moments too quick, forced even...
The man's 500 years old, but acts like an idiot...
The game as a whole has no idea what it wants to be...
Guys...… you're not wrong, and honestly I can't be mad about some of these points, even if it cuts deep, lol. On the contrary, sometimes you need to understand the negatives to be able to learn from those mistakes to provide a positive outcome. I don't want to keep using the "This is my first game" excuse, either... with all that said, I want to be able to create the best near-perfect visual novel for you all to enjoy, because nothing in this world is perfect. If it was, then people wouldn't continue to improve, learn, and adapt. My goal is to address as many of these points (and ones not mentioned) in the Remake as best as I can... first being a MUCH longer establishment of relationships for a more natural feel of them. I also plan on stretching out the story much more to allow those relationships to flourish. And yes... that means there will be some altered story along the way... but a lot of the established lore/story will remain, just tweaked or improved a bit.
PROJECT GALAXY (New Game):
This is something I had in mind of doing possibly in conjunction with Fall of the Angels, but worst case after that game is over. Many of you know that I'm a huge Star Wars nerd and sci-fi geek... so... why not make a visual novel of it? Not Star Wars, lol... but a space fantasy. Yes, I know it's not anything new, as there's a lot out there already...… especially in Honey Select 2, which is the engine I will be using for it. Nothing has be set in stone yet, but I feel like at least providing you all the... imagination...
Lastly, also likely important... as mentioned above, those are the two major projects I plan on doing, with Phoenix being the next immediate one after 0.3.4 is fully released (and after a little break from development). I'm gonna be honest with you all... I would love to work full-time on these visual novels, because it really is fun and I can express my imagination in writing and illustration. Unfortunately, with an actual job and doing my monthly duties to my country, time hasn't been on my side. Regardless, with the current update and near/future projects, I will work on them to the best of my ability and time. The support you guys provided me is beyond appreciated, and I can't thank you all enough for it. Maybe in time, I will feel comfortable with working full-time on these games... but I wanna earn that support from you guys, not demand it.
I hope to provide you all the best experience possible, and once again, I can't thank you all enough for the support, feedback, reviews, and more. And remember: honesty goes a long way, positive or negative.
Greetings to you all! It's bee a long time coming, but I am finally able to release a little bit of what the Finale of Chapter III has to offer, and more! In earlier posts, some of you may recall of the game going through a major UI change and such... well... it's finally here! And the much requested feature... the Gallery!
And for the first time ever since initial release... there is now an official Android Port available! With it being the very first official port, there might be some bugs that haven't been addressed. If there are any, do not hesitate to inform me! I want to have everyone be able to enjoy the update and future releases as bug-free as possible!
NOTE: DELETE ALL SAVES! Old saves will NOT be compatible! PUBLIC Release will include a lot of typo fixes, grammar issues, and any bug fixes that may have been missed. See information below for more details.
The Karaoke Scenes are now skippable like normal! (You no longer have to choose to "Skip" or "Watch")
Choosing the Demonic Routes will now have penalties, as well as future darker choices if you so choose!(This does not include the very first Choice Menu introducing Karma)
Lots of old grammar errors and typos fixed!
Removed several Choice Menus.
Two of Rosalyn's Choice Menus no longer require the "right" choice.
Fixed a couple Choice Routes displaying wrong renders/lines
Other fixes and patches not previously mentioned should have been addressed.
Alright boyos... it's time for an important announcement.
Over the last few weeks and months, some, if not most of you, probably realized that the latest update is taking a lot longer than the last one. A lot has changed ever since my time with the Army (Active Duty) came to an honorable end. Currently got 8 years of service under my belt, working on my 9th one in the National Guard. Pretty much last year on this date is when I had a lot of free time since I was prepping to separate, which resulted in 0.3.3 being released roughly four months after 0.3.2. Unfortunately, times, have changed...
I don't have nearly as much free time as I would like to be able to work on the game, since I'm working full-time, serving in the National Guard, and spending as much time I'm able to with my kiddos when they come around. It's been incredibly stressful, and my mental and physical states have been exhausted to the point of slowly losing interest in doing anything outside working on the game.
I made a post on the 10th on Patreon and SubscribeStar, and included a poll here, about a possible demo for you guys to try out. A lot of you insisted on having the full-release instead of the demo, and I can't thank you all enough for being so patient and supportive.....
You can probably take this as good news or bad, but..... I'm going to go through with releasing a demo. As I said, this will include everything up to.... a fourth of the actual 0.3.4 release I believe. I know you guys keep insisting on just waiting until full release, but as I mentioned previously... I'm really exhausted.. and I don't have the time I would like to be able to work on the game as I would like. But... I don't want to leave you guys empty-handed after all this time... I wanna do this.
I know a lot of other developers have much smoother release schedules, and I commend all of them for their hard work and dedication. I sadly don't have that luxury.... so... if I made some of you upset with me going through with the demo, I deeply apologize for it. I just want to provide you guys an enjoyable experience, one way or another.
To all my supporters... you guys are just amazing. I don't think I would have gotten this far without you... all of you, honestly. Everyone, even if you aren't supporting, are just amazing. All I can really ask of you guys is... just don't stop being awesome. Support is always optional, spread the game to your friends and such, other outlets, and whatnot. I will continue my best to work on the game for you all, and you all can expect the release dates for the demo very soon. Again... thank you all so much, and I apologize for any upset minds.
TL:DR: My physical and emotional states are really taking a toll, and I don't have the time to work on the game as much as I would like. I will release a demo in the meantime while I continue to work on the rest. I deeply apologize in advance for anyone that may be upset of the news.
First, I want to apologize to you all for the update taking a lot longer than I anticipated. I was hoping to have it out by New Years, but... well, it's February. Nevertheless, I am continuing to put in as much time and effort to be able to give you guys an enjoyable experience!
Currently, as some of you may already know... I've wrapped up Phase I of development, which is Rendering. Phase II (Scripting) is underway, which hopefully and theoretically, shouldn't take nearly as long as Phase I. Once Phase II is complete, I will finally be able to move to Phase III, or Playtesting, in which I should finally provide solid release dates for all Tiers and the eventual Public. As for the game itself, it think it's safe to say it may be the biggest release yet, just for the two Final Sections of Chapter III! Just to put that into perspective... Section 17's Render size is bigger than the entirety of Chapter II... just one Section alone! I'm more afraid of putting out another goal that I may or may not reach, but....... I'm hoping to be done within a month or two.
If you haven't already, I strongly recommend you joining the Discord, as I'm heavily active on there. I will try to be more active outside the server, but if you would like to keep up-to-date with possible news or just wanna discuss with the people already there, it's highly recommended to join!
From you humbled developer,
13th Sin Games
P.S.: Currently in talks of a possible... demo... to be released. This would include all the new UI features and such, minor fixes, etc... and......... a small portion of Section 17! For now, enjoy some more game teases of... some new faces...
I want to wish you all an awesome Holidays with your friends and families, as well as a New Year! This year has had a lot of ups and downs, pleasures and craziness. Hopefully with the coming new year, we can see a brighter future.
Speaking of which, I will briefly discuss the latest news on development on 0.3.4. Unfortunately, I'm still not done... which can be interpreted by it being a good thing, or bad, lol. I landed a new job, and I'm limited on how much time I am able to work on the game. I will at least confirm... that at the rate it's going... Section 17 alone may be bigger than the entirety of Chapter II in terms of just Renders........ let that sink in, lmao. Nevertheless, I will do my best to deliver the game as soon as possible, and provide a solid release date for Tiers and Public releases!
Below are links to folders that include all 4K UHD Wallpapers for the Holidays, in which you can choose what wallpaper to download, some of them, or all of them, completely open to the public! Just, fair warning... some may not be considered...... SFW... lol. Enjoy, and once again, Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!
I know a LOT of you all have been anticipating news and updates on the next release of the game... hell, maybe even the release itself.
First, I want to deeply apologize if it seems like things have gone quiet on various sites, including Patreon. Rest assured, I am very active on my Discord, and will try to be more active on the sites in providing more concrete news and such.
Secondly, as some of you may know, I've been serving in the military for 8 yearsActive-Duty now, but have recently switched to National Guard, which is much less time-constrained... as it's typically called the "Weekend Warriors". I will however am in the process of looking for a job. So in technical terms, not much will really change when it comes to work hours outside the game.
Now, for the update itself... I'm still working on it. I won't provide a concrete release date until I am in the Playtesting state, or Phase III. Currently still in Phase I, which is Rendering, and Phase II is Scripting. If some of you thought the last update was really big, well......... this one may take it, lol. Progress has been slow, I won't lie, and again I want to apologize for it taking a lot longer. However, this update will definitely feel much different as I've done a few things that many have been asking for, and that I hope all of you will enjoy.
I know a lot of you guys have been very patient with this upcoming release, but I don't want to disappoint any of you by not delivering sooner. As I mentioned above, there's no concrete release date; however... I'm really going to try to push for a mid-December release, or New-Year's release. Once I reach Phase III, I will definitely provide a more solid release date.
If you're curious as to what all the update may consist, I'll provide you some insight on what's to come for the most part. Again, I'll provide a much more detailed set of release notes when the update is officially out. For now... here's what you can anticipate:
NEW MAIN MENU/PAUSE MENU
The Main Menu isn't fully done, but it will look very similar to what is above. Planning on adding pictures that randomly change either by time or every time it's switch to another screen, i.e. going from the Main Menu to Options, then back to Main Menu. The Pause Menu will now appear as displayed above as well, also still wanting to add some random pictures that will appear.
NEW IN-GAME UI LAYOUT
This was something I know I've wanted to do for a while, but wasn't sure when a good time would be. It's a lot more simplified, and the buttons will glow once hovered. Still needing to fix a few things when an option isn't available, as to avoid any confusion. Some choice menus have been removed, as they felt meaningless, and a couple have been updated to where you can freely choose some options, mainly Rosalyn choices.
NEW STATS PAGE
Yes, FINALLY! You can now see all the girls and how you are doing in terms of relationship statuses. However, that's not all that's been added to them... see below.
NEW CHARACTER PAGES
Each love interest will now display their status in terms of love towards them. Still needing to add notifications on if you do gain points and such. BUT, that's not all you can gain from them. When you first unlock the character, they will all have Descriptions about them and how the Main Character interacted with them. As you progress the story, their love, or both... you will be able to unlock Entries, and even Outfits! Whether if it's their normal clothes, bikinis... or... something more... incentive...... all of which is tied to either their love or story progression. I will try to add a clue or something to give you an idea of how to unlock them, which will most likely be tied to the Walkthrough Mode, whereas Story Mode will remain less transparent.
There are more things to come as time goes on, but for the moment I'm wanting to try to finish rendering and scripting in time to be able to polish anything before reaching Phase III. I will continue to do my best to deliver as much of a fun and enjoyable experience as possible to you all!
Thank you all for your continued support and love of the game!
Well... the time is finally upon us... where creatures of all types come out during the night to give us all the spooks. However in this case, things might be a little... different... maybe? Lmao, Happy Halloween everyone! Enjoy these FREE4K UHD Wallpapers of the winners from the poll on my Discord! Plus... a few........ bonuses.
If you haven't already, be sure to join my Discord, as I'm heavily active on there!
Official Wallpapers for Fall of the Angels are now available!
First, I want to announce that with these Wallpapers, I plan on constantly update this particular post with more Wallpapers as time goes on. Right now, there's only a handful, but in time, that handful could very well turn into a plethora of items!
Secondly, I want to thank each and every one of you for your support! It means a lot to me, and I feel bad that I'm just now working on these. I hope you all can forgive me for any inconvenience it might have caused. I will try my best to keep you all happy!
Below is the link to the folder for the HD Wallpapers! Just download which ever one you want... or all of them!
I'll begin removing the old Tiers from both sites by the end of the day today/early tomorrow. I understand that some of you may not feel too comfortable with these changes. I also understand that it may discourage you from continuing support. Supporting will always be optional, and I will never force anyone to have to support just to reap some benefits.
The main thing that keeps me going is just knowing how awesome you are with giving this game and story a chance, supporting or not. I will always cherish that support you gave me, and even more with just words of encouragement.
For those that have supported me in the past, continuing, or discontinued... some of you also may remember... I plan on adding your name in the credits I've been working on. I'll be going off your account name, unless you wish for it to say something different, just let me know. I may just be a developer, but you guys are the real heroes of this. You deserve to be recognized, even if it may seem minor to some... not to me though.
I just wanted to let you all know that I'm gonna begin implementing the new/updated Tiers from now till August 31st. I'm mainly trying to help prevent any double-charging; I don't wanna screw anyone over that wants to continue supporting. I'll also begin making role changes on the Discord according to the new Tiers.
I want to thank each and everyone of you guys that helped support the game in the past, continuing to support, and wanting to support. You guys are beyond amazing, and I couldn't have gotten this far without you all. Even if you don't want to support right now or are unable to, you all are still just as awesome! Being able to provide you all a fun and entertaining game/story has been something I never thought I'd see myself doing... but... here we are... a year later!
I once again find myself beyond words to describe how appreciative I am of having given this opportunity. Supporting will always be optional... because I find more value in continuing this awesome journey with you all without the necessity of financial benefits. Whatever you do... don't stop being awesome!
Wanted to say this after I got some sleep after waiting hours to upload the latest update today, lol...
Today marks an official one year since the game's initial release... one whole year....... man, how time flies. I honestly can't think of words to describe just how thankful I am for all of you giving me a chance with this game. When I first released the game, I was very anxious of how everything would turn out... is the story good enough? Are the characters likeable or relatable enough? Would they like this or that? To this day still, those questions continue to bother me; it's a constant battle for some sort of consistency.
As that year came and went... it continues to give me joy to see how far we've come... not I... we... as much as I wanted to make this game for all of you, I wouldn't have gotten this far without you all. I'm hoping to keep you guys entertained and enjoy the story for what is has become so far. Speaking of which... there's a few little goodies that a certain kitsune decided to take control of, lmao... be sure to be on the lookout for those...
Once again, I can't thank you all enough for everything that has came to be with the game. I'm by no means the best storyteller, nor developer... we all start somewhere, and I'm just beyond thrilled to have gotten a chance. All I ask from you all... is to keep being awesome, and not to just me, but to every other developer that is starting out or that's been here for a long while... tell me how you feel about everything so far though... leave a like on the game,... a review on F95, Itch, or other related sites (negative or positive)... support me on Patreon or SubscribeStar... spread the love from here on to your friends, family, and so on... that is if they are into these sort of things, lmao...
I want to be able to hear from you all and continue to improve as best I can, because nothing is ever truly perfect.
After a very long, busy few months... the wait is finally over! 0.3.3 is now out for everyone! I want to greatly thank all of you guys for being, or trying to be, patient with me with everything that went on the last few months. Clearing from Active Duty military, packing and moving, settling somewhat back down, seeing my kiddos... all that good stuff... I really hope that the wait will be worth it for all of you... now, sit back, and enjoy the latest update!

It's finally that time again... the latest update now available for all you Supporters!

I hope that this update will have been worth the wait for some of you. Here's all that is included in this release:

I have an announcement I wanted to make in regards to supporting me on either Patreon or SubscribeStar.
Firstly, I can't thank you all enough that have started to support, continuing to support, or have supported in the past. You have no idea how appreciative that gesture was to me. Even if you haven't or aren't supporting, you all are still unbelievably awesome to the point that you shouldn't even be allowed to be, lmao.
Now, I know some of you have heard me talk about updating the Tiers at some point, especially those telling me that they seemed too low. Well, I believe I came up with a solution. I wanted to be able to tell you guys that plan to support and/or currently are supporting these updates, because they will affect you ultimately. I consulted with my team to try to provide an updated set of Tiers that wasn't trying to screw over anyone majorly, but also provide options for those that want to support me further. I wasn't too comfortable with having ridiculous prices, but I will provide the info for what the new Tiers will look like below. You are more than welcomed to provide any feedback or concern you may have, and I will try to address them as best I can.

After a long 8 years, I think I can finally say that it feels good to be [permanently] home. Thought I'd give you guys a quick little update, lol.
Tomorrow, I will officially resume development on the game. Gonna try to push for either a release this coming weekend, or midweek release. This release will first be the QA Testers' Release (TIER V)... within a week after that release, it'll then be open for all Supporters of the game... and then a week after that will finally be released to the Public!
I know some of you have been eagerly waiting for this release. I'm sorry it has taken a while. As I said in my previous post, it was a very busy time. But now that I have finally moved back home and on terminal leave from the Army, I can actually enjoy this time to myself, give you guys this update, and just have an awesome time all around!
P.S.: And yes... that image is a tease of the release ;).
As many of you all know... I've been serving the military for almost eight years now, Active Duty side: four in the United States Marine Corps, and reaching four currently in the Army. I plan on continuing on in the National Guard for only three more years, and depending on how I will treat it, it could be all the way until retirement, or officially call it an end for serving my country. I'll cherish all the moments I had in the military as a whole, but eventually I will take the official break from it all.
With that being said, these next 30 days will be pretty busy for the most part. I'll be clearing, packing up, and prepping to move back home to Indiana. As for Fall of the Angels, I still plan on releasing the next update (0.3.3) within the next week or two for QA testers (Abyssals), and shortly after it'll be Patrons then the Public. I'm also trying to squeeze in just a little bit of time to myself to catch up on some games, or relax with all of you guys in my Discord with a movie night or something.
I hope you all can forgive me if the release is taking longer than it should, and I know some of you... maybe most of you... are eagerly waiting... maybe too eagerly, lol. I promise... I will release this update before I even leave for home... my PC will be the last thing packed up. I also want to thank everyone that has supported me or the game in any sort of way. Whether if it's by donations, boosts, artwork, or just being all around awesome... you are ALL heroes in my eyes, and I salute every single on of you.
It's that time of year, my friends... the day where millions of us gather to celebrate our love for a franchise far, far away.... May the 4th be with you, guys!
Well everyone, my official break time is over! I want to thank all of you guys for the support and just being all around awesome. I also want to thank anyone that stopped by during my streams, even if it's just to say hello!
Yes, it was a short break, but it was one that I needed to help clear my mind off some things. I thought about taking a longer break, but I felt a week was enough for the time being. Unfortunately, I can't stop any Duty shifts that head my way, lol. Got a little less than two months left in Active Duty, which means a lot of time towards the end will be focused on packing up and moving back home. Been and interesting 8 years in the military......... okay, in fairness, the first 4 were far better than now, lmao.
But, I want to be able to get back into the swing of things sooner as well, and release the next update beginning of May! I know most of you guys are eager as hell to continue the story, lol. I'm gonna try my best boyos, I promise. Remember: not all heroes wear capes. I count all of you guys as such heroes. Now... let's get back to it!
I've decided to take a short break from developing the game... just... wanting to clear my mind on some things. I'll still be in my Discord, talking and what not... but, I just need a minute to take a step back and reflect on some things. It'll be no more than a week long, might be a little shorter than even that. But, I at least need a few days to myself... to calm my mind, I guess you can say.
It might delay the release of the next update, and I apologize for any inconvenience this might cause for some. I'm extremely sorry if this is the case. I know I kept saying I'd work on it, and I have been getting back into the swing of things, but this time I gotta step away.
I want to thank all of you guys that have joined in, stuck around, or even left. Regardless, you guys are awesome, and I couldn't have gotten this far without you. To everyone that has supported the game... you guys are unremarkable heroes. You didn't have to support it, as it's optional, but you chose to anyway... and I can't thank you guys enough. Don't worry... the game will still be worked on soon enough...
Until then... you all stay heroes...
Sincerely,
13th Sin Games
P.S.: Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?
Section 12 (and future Sections) will now feature some updated character designs!
After a long time looking past it, I decided to look into Rim Lighting... I'm beyond sorry for not seeing it sooner, lmao. All characters from Section 12 onward will feature removed rim-lighting, as well as some other minor tweaks.
There are no longer text-skips (except the Karaoke Songs)
You are now able to freely read at your own pace, minus the Karaoke Scenes, as they are synced with the songs.
Happy (early) Valentine's Day! It's that time to go out with your loved ones, crushes, or even yourself, and just celebrate love! I've got a couple more goodies to share with both the public and supporters as well! Keep an eye out for such goodies!
Hello everyone! I'm finally happy to say that within a day, I should finally be back home! From there, I can finally get back to work on Fall of the Angels... I know a good chunk of you are as eager as I am to finally see some progress made. I want to, once again (probably won't stop either), thank you all for just being awesome, showing support, and having patience with me. I really do appreciate you guys! Now, if you're in my Discord, please, chat with me before my flight tomorrow!
Alright guys, I'll have to leave you all for a month now. I want to thank all of you once again for giving this game a try, supporting it, and being all around awesome! I will still be on Discord for a bit during my month away from working on the game. I will see you all again soon!
Updated the Intro Cutscene to include a few more artists and people I wanted to credit.
Had to remake the entire scene because I lost the previous ones used. But it looks nicer at the same time.
I said this many times before in my announcements on nearly all my provided links... I may be the developer, and I may have created this game by myself... but I wouldn't have gotten this far without all of you, especially those mentioned in the Intro Cutscene.
There will be an Outro/Endgame Cutscene with pretty much a LOT of people, lmao. But that won't be until Part II is completed.
Reorganized all the choice menus in the game.
Previously there were two separate sets of dialogue after the choices depending on what game mode you played. This made it so that if a player was playing on STORY, then decided to play WALKTHROUGH, they would have to see the same dialogue, but treated as if it was "new" dialogue.
It has now been fixed so that all dialogue moving forward isn't treated as "new". However, because of the reorganization, this may initially happen (Ren'Py may treat it as "new" dialogue regardless). But after seeing it with this fix, you longer need to worry about it afterwards.
Reworded a chunk of the dialogue in Section 8(when you go to Sora's, particularly when you get surrounded).
Some of it may have gotten a bit too much for some, making the experience very uncomfortable because of a sensitive subject.
It wasn't my intention at all for anyone to feel uncomfortable, but I want to apologize to anyone that may have felt that way. I'll be more careful in the future.
