Dev Update #63

Hi everyone, hope you've had a good week.

Just a quick update to let you know that work on E4 is going ok. Can't give a release date just yet but I'm getting there. Still quite stressed about all the things I have left but we're steadily moving forwards. - mainly just a lot of renders to get through.

Thank you so much for your support, I know this is a long wait and I really appreciate your patience. I'll continue to post a new preview every Weds/Thurs. Hope you have a great wee...

E4 Preview - Violet

Dev Update #62

Hi everyone, just a quick update:

Work is going well and I got quite a bit done this week. I still have a lot to do and that includes some of the most difficult scenes with lots of brand new minor side characters. Hopefully that all goes smoothly but I am nervous I might get slowed down in places.

I will try to give an accurate release date as soon as I can but I'm not at the point where I can do that yet. Still aiming for late July but I don't want to promise anything right now s...

E4 Preview - Naomi

Another preview of Naomi's new look.

Dev Update #61

Hi everyone, just a quick dev update:

Work is mostly going well and I'm enjoying a lot of the scenes I'm working on. No major obstacles this week but there are some elements which keep taking longer than I anticipate. Doing my best to stay on target but I have a lot of work ahead. Nothing in particular I need to say here but I'm pleased with what we have so far and I'm looking froward to showing you some more previews. Thank you so much for your continued support and patience.

E4 Preview - Nina

Dev Update #60

Hi everyone, just a quick update.

Work is going ok. I had a very productive week but I'm still behind where I want to be. I really want to stick to my target of July for E4 and I'm working on overdrive to try and do this but things are tough. There are a lot of new things in E4 which are taking a little time and there are also countless small things I'm having to fix both render wise (such as some characters' skin) and gameplay wise (such as the logic for when girls address you by your ...

E4 Preview - Tasha & Ashley

Dev Update #59

Hi everyone, very quick update from me because I just want to focus on working.

Work is going ok but I am behind schedule. Doing my best to catch up to where I want to be because I really don't want to delay E4 any further and you're all being so patient. Really proud of some things I've done but also a little stressed about some things I have yet to do but overall we are making decent progress. Thank you so much for your continued support, it really means the world to me. Hope you have...

E4 Preview - Dr. Riley

Dev Update #58

Hi everyone, hope you're all well. Quick update from me:

Development is going ok and I'm working pretty obsessively right now. This week I realised I have even more on my plate than I previously thought and annoyingly Daz has been crashing quite a lot when I've been working on the bigger scenes... So that has caused me a bit of stress recently but overall things are mostly going ok. I'm making decent progress and still enjoying a lot of the work I'm doing even if I'm stressed while doin...

E4 Preview - Naomi

Naomi's had the biggest change coming into E4. Here's a look at her in Dr Riley's next class.

Dev Update #57

Hope you've had a good week, just a quick update from me:

Development is going well and I'm making progress on renders. No major obstacles slowing me down right now just have a lot of work to get through. Thanks to those of you who answered Jordan's poll or gave other feedback on her new look. I always appreciate all feedback, positive or critical, but it's nice to see that a clear majority of you prefer her new face.

I'll be continuing to show you some E4 previews in coming weeks...

Jordan Comparison

Thank you to those of you who shared thoughts on Jordan's new appearance. As a few you mentioned that you liked her original look I thought I'd give you a direct comparison and a poll. Please let me know which one you prefer :)

E4 Preview - Jordan

Here's your first look at Jordan in E4. She's had her tattoos adjusted (not visible here but her right sleeve has changed, some others too) and I changed her skin textures when doing that so her face looks slightly different to E1.

Dev Update #56

Hi everyone, very quick update:

Work is going well and I had a productive week. Not too much to report but I'm making good progress on the renders and also managed to sort out some other miscellaneous bits including tidying up the menus and adjusting some fonts which now look much cleaner. Liking how things are looking and but also somewhat stressed about my very large to-do list...

Will be showing you preview renders in the coming weeks.

Thanks for your support, hope you ha...

E4 Outfit Preview - Bonnie & Clyde (Halloween)

Money in the bag. NOW!

Dev Update #55

Hi everyone, hope you've had a good week, mine's been ok. Just a very quick check in from me.

This weekend I've been away from my desktop for an irl commitment but my pc is currently rendering the longest E4 animation (created a while ago but not yet rendered in HD) while I'm away so things are still moving. I brought my laptop with me to make some edits to the script and I'm looking forward to getting back and translating those into renders.

Nothing in particular I need to discu...

E4 Outfit Preview - Saki

Preview of how Saki will look in E4. Will likely show you her Halloween costume next week.

Dev Update #54

Hi everyone, quick update from me. Work is going well and I've managed to get some good momentum this week. I still have mountains to do thanks to the new features I'm adding but I'm making good progress. I'm currently working on posing characters in a variety of scenes at once rather than working chronologically. This is mostly so I can identify any potential issues with the environments/story and adjust my script. So far things are looking good but some of these scenes will be difficult and...

E4 Outfit Preview - Police! 🚔

Hold it right there.

Dev Update #53

Hi everyone, let's talk about E4.

I've done a lot this week and animations are pretty much done but I'm still very far behind schedule. I really appreciate your patience and support so I want to be as transparent as possible in this update. The TLDR is that I'm expecting to publish E4 in July. I know that's a long time and I'm sorry about that.

Coming into 2025 I said I would stop giving forecasts until I was very close to finishing but I owe you an estimate here ...

Dev Update #52

Hi everyone, quick update:

Work is going well and I had a lot of fun (after a lot of frustration) this week. I don't want to talk about it in much detail while it's still a work in progress but I'm quite proud of a small, secret thing I managed to make a lot of progress on these last few days. I essentially managed to make a (very basic and short) animation of something that's pretty difficult to animate in Daz3D. Might end up looking terrible and I might scrap it completely but right n...

E4 Outfit Preview - Kat's Cats

Catch these kittens at the E4 Halloween party

Dev Update #51

Hi everyone, super quick update:

Production is going well but for reasons I explained last week this will be the slowest of the 3 updates this year. But because of those reasons - things are looking really good and I'm pleased with what's in the works. Still working on animations but they're going well and also very happy with what I'm learning in the process. I try to be more ambitious with animations each episode and in E4 I'm trying to create longer, more detailed animations than E3 ...

E4 Naomi Preview

Naomi's had the biggest change going into E4. Here's a preview of her new look and the outfits she'll be wearing.

Dev Update #50

Hi everyone, work is going well but I'm extremely busy with tonnes to do so I'll try to keep this brief.

E4 is progressing well but I need to tell you that I'm still a long way from completion and this will be the slowest of the 3 updates I'm aiming to release this year. E4 is going to be quite a big step in a number of ways which are causing development to take longer than E3. You might assume that I'm talking about branching choices and pathing here but that's actually not the case a...

Happy Birthday to Elmwood!

On this day last year, Elmwood's first episode was released. Thank you to all my incredible supporters for making this possible!

Sorry about the cake :/

E4 Outfit Preview - Tasha & Ashley (Halloween)

E3 Android Version (Beta)

If you're unable to enjoy Elmwood on a computer then this is for you. Animations are likely to be laggy so I do apologise for this - it's something I will try and fix in the E4 release.

Feedback regarding performance/compatibility is much appreciated, thanks :)
