Chapter 13.3 status report (11)

Apologies for the lack of updates last week. Right now, I'm in the middle of moving to another country, and between all the paperwork, finding a place to live, and countless other tasks, it's been a pretty chaotic time.
As for the upcoming and final update for Chapter 13.3, I had hoped to release it this week, but the colorist has been delayed and I still haven’t received the finished artwork.
I finished writing the additional scenes last week, and as soon as I get the new art, I’ll...

Behind the Scenes (Chapter 13.3)

Today I’m sharing some behind-the-scenes content from the making of the scenes for the latest chapter. I’ve shown you the storyboards I use to visualize and structure the scenes before, and they keep getting more complex over time.

At first, I didn’t really need to use this method, only for very specific situations, but as I’ve progressed in developing visual novels, it’s become an essentia...

Chapter 13.3 status report (10)

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been writing the additional scenes I wanted to include in Chapter 13, and I’ll be wrapping those up in the coming days. The artwork is currently with the colorist, and as soon as I receive it, I’ll edit and prepare the release of version 13.3.5, which will be available to €10+ patrons at launch, and to all €5+ patrons a few days later.

I’m also working on illustrations for the next chapter, running some art test...

Chapter 13.3 status report (9)

Chapter 13.3 is now complete and available to all patrons at €5 and up, but there's still a bit of work to be done.

I've just released an update (13.3.4) that includes a few bugfixes, mainly addressing some rare narrative inconsistencies involving Ian, Cindy, Wade, and Lena. I also added Gillian’s office ...

Chapter 13.3.1 (ALPHA) is out!

We did it! The new update is out on schedule, and as you already know, this one focuses on Ian and picks up right where the last chapter left off. The script ended up being slightly longer than the previous release, and I’ve worked to reflect the outcome of certain plot points while pushing a few others forward.

Diva-tier patrons, you can download it right here!

Chapter 13.3 status report (8)

This will be the final status update before the release of Chapter 13.3 Alpha. I’ve finished writing Cindy’s last scenes (they were quite a challenge), and today I’ve started testing.

What’s left? Adding background music and sound effects, finishing the image edits for one last scene, and tweaking a few assets here and there, all of which I’ll be handling this week while testing the chapter.

If everything goes as planned, the Alpha will be ready View Post

Chapter 13.3 status report (7)

Finishing up the assembly of the chapter is taking a bit longer than expected. Fatigue and complexity have slowed me down a little, but I’m almost there! This week, I’ll be wrapping up the final text edits and polishing a few fragments, but all the main scenes are already done. The script has already surpassed the length of Chapter 13.2, and there are a total of six lewd scenes, plus a seventh that I’ll be adding after the Alpha version is released.

I’m also finalizing the chapt...

Chapter 13.3 status report (6)

I’m almost done with the planned content for the Alpha release of Chapter 13.3! I still need to finish writing two scenes and wrap up the remaining artwork, which I expect to receive this week.

The closer a release gets, the more it burns in my hands. I can’t wait to finalize the remaining pieces and share the results with you all.

I’ve also implemented the results of your votes for Emma’s new look! For now, here’s a sneak peek at a new setting that will appear in this c...

Chapter 13.3 status report (5)

I've finished writing all the scenes except for Cindy's, which is what will keep me busy this week. I hope to finish the script in the next few days and start assembling and testing all the pieces next week.

I have about 90% of the art ready, and I'm waiting for the colorist to finish the last scene so I can edit it and add it to the game.

I had originally planned to include one more scene, but it still needs additional artwork, so I'll add it once the Alpha and/or Beta versions a...

Sneak peek: Emma's new look (2)

 It seems like Emma’s new look hasn’t left anyone indifferent, but it won’t be the only alternative style she’ll have. If you’ve been pushing her toward a more feminine look, she’ll upgrade her dress and hairstyle—but I haven’t decided exactly how yet... Personally, I’m torn between options 4 and 5, but what do you all think? Which dress suits Emma best?

Also, in this variant, ...

Chapter 13.3 status report (4)

This week, I’ve kept working on the chapter, and I’d say I’m about 75-80% done. My goal is to finish writing the script next week and start playtesting. The art is almost ready; I just have a couple of illustrations left to complete, and I’m waiting for the colored drawings to finalize them.

I’ll probably add some extra content post-launch, since there are still a few ideas I think are worth including and one or two scenes that could benefit from some expansion. But for now, m...

Sneak peek: Emma's new look

I decided to give Emma a new look, provided the player has been encouraging her to look hotter (also, you might notice I tweaked her pose slightly, for this and all other sprite variations of her).

Do you think Emma did a good job putting together her new look, or is her sense of style seriously lacking? Don't worry, you'll get to let her know yourselves in the next up...

Chapter 13.3 status report (3)

This week, my focus has been spread across multiple areas: I’ve kept working on the chapter script, but I’ve mainly focused on smaller scenes and interactions, like texting sequences and internal monologues that add depth to the narrative. As usual, even the simplest scenes come with their own level of complexity, and here’s a perfect example:

Chapter 13.3 status report (2)

Today I went to the doctor, and it turns out that the lingering issues from pneumonia that have been bothering me were actually due to two broken ribs. No wonder I was in pain... On top of that, I’ve caught a nasty case of bronchitis again and got put on a mild dose of antibiotics. Despite these lingering health issues, I’ve been feeling motivated and full of energy when it comes to work. I trust my health will restore itself soon, but in the meanwhi...

Chapter 13.3 status report (1)

With Chapter 13.2 finished, it’s time to talk about the next update. As I mentioned before, Chapter 13.3 will switch back to Ian’s perspective to reflect roughly the same timeline as Lena’s. This means the next update will focus on advancing key plot points for Ian’s story before returning to Lena and the events of Billy’s long anticipated event.

Releasing a new chapter always gives me a boost of morale and energy, and so far, I’m making great progress with production. Some ...

It's the last day of the year, and I’m bringing you a quick status update—most likely the final one before the release of the next update. My plan was to have it ready by now, but it shouldn’t be delayed much longer: all the artwork is finished, and I’m currently writing the last scene of the chapter. Once that’s done, I just need to test everything to ensure it works as intended and fix any bugs I come across before relea...

Christmas poll results

After a week, the results of the polls on the character pairings you'd like to see in future scenes are in. As you know, the fact that a pairing was included in the poll doesn’t necessarily mean it’s planned to appear, while others are already set to show up regardless. Still, I always find it fascinating to see where your interests lie. To that end, I created two polls: one allowing multiple votes<...
